SUNDAY DIE LIKE FLIES By Clinton Conger United Press Correspondent Hannover, April 11. (U.R) (Delayed) Eight months ago the Germans brought 1,000 Pol ish Jews to Hannover to build an underground arms factory. Today In lice-ridden, filthy shacks I saw the 190 survivors, some so 111 and starved they may not live. These laborers were "expend ables," in the Nazi view, because they were members of a race the Nazis wanted to exterminate. As long as they could work the overseers worked them 12 hours a day, quarrying out a refuge in which the arms plant could operate safely from allied bombers. If the Jews died or became too weak, they were "taken away." The survivors today hardly look like human beings. Their skin is covered with scabs and is stretched drumtight over their bony bodies. Their glazed eyes are sunken and their cheeks are hollow. Their hair is matted and they are "clothed" In dirty rags. 3,211,273 ON NAVY ROLLS Washington, April 12 (U.R) The Navy disclosed today that naval persornel on Dec. 31, 1944, totaled 3,211,273 men and wom en.
