SHAEF Charges
Nazis Murdered
115 Americans
Paris, Jan. 1 IP Supreme head
quarters, in a statement describ
ing the murder of approximately
il5 captured American officers
and soldiers Dec. 17k said today
the men were lined up six abreast
and machine gunned by the Ger
mans. The United States government
already has sent the "strongest
possible" protest to Germany
through Switzerland.
The victims were taken prisoner
near Malmedy at the opening of
tfie German counterattack. After
the Germans took their weapons
and valuables a guard for no ap-
. Da rent reason began firing at
them and was joined by machine
gun-firing tanks. Other German
soldiers fired their small arms.
"Evidence resulting for a pre
liminary investigation leads First
army authorities to believe that
' on Dec. 17 a German tank de
tachment shot down in cold blood
approximately 115 United States
officers and soldiers, mostly from
a battery of field artillery observa
tion battalion, the bHAEF state
ment said.
Taken Prisoner
"They had been taken prisoner
near Malmedy at opening of the
German counterattack. Some 15
members only of this group even
tually escaped the nazi massacre
which took place at approximate
ly 1500 hours (3 p. m.) Dec. 17
about three miles below Malmedy.
"The battery was proceeding in
convoy and upon arriving at a
Junction in the highways to St.
Vith and Waimes a number of
Atierman tanks traveling in the
Tjpposite direction were suddenly
observed. The enemy opened fire
immediately.
"Upon being fired at by the
tanks, the men of the battery
quickly abandoned their vehicles,
seeking cover as best they could.
About 14 vehicles of the battery
had already safely passed the road
junction and headed toward St.
Vith.
"The first Americans to be cap
tured were two enlisted men who
were driving an unoccupied am
bulance just past the junction on
the road to Waimes. Their truck
was wrecked and they were taken
prisoner, being brought back to
the road junction in a German
tank. '
Battery Captured
"In the meantime all of the bat
tery's personnel were captured
and rounded up on a cleared field,
' being lined 'up "six' ranks deepui
whey were immediately- searched
for cigarettes and other valuables.
"Suddenly and for no apparent
reason shots were fired into this
group of defenseless prisoners by
the German guard. Immediately
following this outbreak, two of
the German tanks began spraying
the Americans with machine gun
fire at a distance of about 75 to
120 feet.
"Killed and wounded prisoners
fell to the ground, including those
who were not hit, but it is thought
the majority of these latter men
were killed later when the
machine gunners continued spray
ing the men on the ground.
"As the tanks prepared to de
part from the field they drove
past the fallen prisoners, machine
guns pouring additional bullets
into those already killed and men
who were wounded. As a parting
gesture German infantrymen on
,'the top of the tanks fired their
imall arms into the helpless mass.
"Approximately 20 or 25 sold
iers, the majority wounded, de
cided to 'make a run for it.' The
guards immediately opened fire
as the men broke into a run and
only about 15 eventually managed
to gain their freedom."

The annual message, which
probably will be sent up Wednes

review military progress, discuss
in general terms what can be ex
pected in the future, and present
in some detail Roosevelt's ideas
on preparing the nation for the
impact of peace-time reconver

July 1, a sum that would fall
some $11,000,000,000 short of the
record $99,000,000,000 being spent
In tne current fiscal year. Ac
cording to reliable estimates, bud
geted expenditures will include
about $78,000,000,000 for "war"
purposes, $5,700,000,000 for rton
war federal activities and slight
ly more than $4,000,000,000 for
interest on the national debt
which has soared to more than
$231,000,000,000 the highest lev
el in history.
During the calendar year just
closed, government spending and
income hit new record highs. To

PRA Chief Says
Hard Year Ahead
By Chester Bowles
(Price and rationing adminis
trator)
(Written for the United Fru)
Americans know that 1945 will
be a tough year. There are
scarcities now and the OPA has
already had to tighten its food
rationing program to see that
everybuuy gets' his fair share.
fmiationary pressures against
price ceilings una rent ceilings
are already great and they will
unaouoteuiy ue greater in 1945.
ihe longer the war idsts the hard
er it wul be to "hold the line."
OPA will have a bigger and more
difficult job to do next year than
ever oetore.
I'roineins complicated
That loo won t be easy. In-
deeu, it seems to me thai never
suite tne eany days of Of A have
we hau so many serious problems
to nunule. ihey will be less
serious, however, If Americans
suck to the rules of rationing and
play their part to keep prices
uown both now and after v-E day,
In 1945 we must keep on the
job to hold down prices of all
essential commodities and to plan
for reconversion so that industry
will go to work and employ large
numbers of Americans and sell
goods at prices all ot us can af
lord to pay.
With that kind of job ahead of
us we need the complete coopera
tion of all Americans.
