Conger United Press War Correspondent With U. S. Ninth Army In Germany. April 19 (U.R) Seven hundred Polish, Russian, and Hungarian slaves cringed on the gasoline-soaked straw In the small barn, A Nazi youth In SS uniform not over sixteen, opened the barn door and threw In a lighted match. As the flames began to lick, he laughed, and slammed thfl rinnr. Some of the prisoners bolted through a rear door. As they ran from the barn, machine guns manned by more teen-aged SS h-ooos cut them down. Tnen me Hermans went to the door emptied their guns Inside, Bnd threw In hand grenades for good measure before they finally shut It for good. Young Tails Laugh The smell of burning flesh came from the barn. The screams of men being roasted alive rip ped the air. And the young SS troops laughed. Rnrh was the story told 13th Corps investigators today by 10 survivors of an original group of 2,000 slave workers movea from an aircraft factory In east ern Oermanv. Most of the story was told by a haggard, Hungarian musician, Bonds Gaza. He lea invesiiga tors through the. barn which be came a crematorium near Gar delegen, 24 miles north of Mag deburg, borne oooiei uu smouldered In the ashes. Beside the ruins was a neat trench with a charred leg sticking up from the freshly turned earth. Gaza said the original 2,000 were Jammed into a freight train for a seven-day cross-country trip during which they ate only bread. They finally halted at Mlesta, eight miles from Garde legen, and the death march be gan. Those who faltered were ahot dead where they fell. When they reached Gardele- gen, 300 German political pris oners were appointed guards, on bloody Friday, the 13th, 800 were marched tq the lonely barn on the plain. The hundred slaves who fell on the way wore killed where they lay. Herded Into Pyre Then came the mass torch murder. The 700 were herded Into a barn 100 by 60 feet and made to sit on the gas-soaked straw. Five minutes later the young SS fiend came in with his match. Cm a and others tried fran tlcally to dig holes beneath'the barn wall with their hands. Three of them dug for an hour and got their heads outside for breath. Eventually they made holes big enough to wriggle through. In the darkness they hid in a field but a dog sniffed them out and howled. A German who in vestigated shot u Pole among the trio but Gaza and a friend es caped, and crawled and walked to a farmhouse two miles away There they hid without food or water for two days. On April 14th. they said, SS troops returned and killed six survivors they found . in the death barn.

JL & Field Grown lb 16' Do yoa know this about Produce? When you serve fresh vegetables, properly pre pared, you are providing your family with re quired vitamins . . . using foods in plentiful sup ply., and best of all, offering them delicious, deli cate flavor obtainable in no other way. Here are some tips on vegetable cookery that will pay you dividends in ease of preparation as well as flavor. For ttrong-flamrtd vegetable!, such as onions, cauliflower, etc., use sufficient boiling salted water to cover the vegetable; cook uncovered, drain, and discard cooking water, for it contains dis-' agreeable sulphur compounds. For spinach, Swiss chard, and othar leafy greens, lift washed leaves into a large saucepan contain ing 1 to 2 cups rapidly boiling salted water, and cook rapidly, uncovered, turning greens once or twice with fork and spoon. Cook until barely tender. Drain and discard water, for it contains objectionable compounds of oxalic acid. Season to taste with butter or margarine, salt and pep per, and serve garnished with lemon wedges. For red cabbage and beets, cook in small amount of boiling water to which H teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice for each cup shredded vegetable has been added, in order to retain bright red color. Panning vegetables: This method of cooking vege-: tables in a covered pan with a minimum amount of water just enough to produce steam is ex cellent for nearly all green and succulent vege tables. Shred, dice, or cut vegetable fine. Into a shallow pan with tight-fitting cover put M to H cup water, add 1 to 2 tablespoons butter, mar garine, oil, or bacon or ham fryings, and heat to boiling. Add the freshly shredded vegetable, (3 to 6 cups), salt lightly, cover tightly, and cook until barely tender, but still slightly crisp 5 to 20 minutes will be ample for most vegetables. Amount of water and shortening and time of cooking will depend upon the kind and amount of vegetable, and on the type of utensil. Less water will be needed when a heavy saucepan is used, as in so-called "waterless cooking". Water should be practically all cooked away when vegetable it done.
