E
Washington, Jan. 16 (U.B
Sen. Wayne L. Morse, R., Ore.,
hopes young progressive ele

will unite "possibly behind the
presidential candidacy of former
Governor Harold Stassen of
Minnesota."
Morse said In an Interview his
party never will elect a presi
dent unless progressives gain
control.
"The fight is on for control of
the republican party," Morse
said. "Let's stand up and count
noses."
He called for Joint action
among progressive republicans
for passage of liberal domestic
social legislation.
Mo'.-'e cautioned, however,
that Stassen has failed thus far
to express himself on many do
mestic issues. He called for an
immediate break between pro
gressives and "reactionary elements."

U-Boat Commanders Told To Shoot
Any Survivors Of Torpedoed Ships
Nuernberg, Jan. 16 (U.PJ
German U-boat commanders
who rescued torpedoed merchant
ship crews off the American
coast Instead of shooting them
were sharply criticized by the
naval high command, a witness
told the war crimes trial today.
Lieut. Commander Karl-Heinz
Moehle, a briefing officer at the
Kiel submarine base, said Grand
Admiral Karl Doenitz had ord
ered all allied survivors shot in
the sea. He said Doenitz called
rescue of seamen in the shallow
waters off the United States
"particularly regretful."
Doenitz scowled at Moehle
from the defendants' box.
Moehle reaffirmed testimony
given yesterday that U-boats car
ried specific orders to kill sur
vivors. He said one submarine
commander was denounced for
failing to shoot five allied air
men he sighted on a raft in the
Bay of Biscay.
Moehle called the Doenitz
order a "very ticklish matter"
but said he knew of no com
mander who ever refused to
carry lt out because it con
flicted with his conscience.
Under cross examination by
Doenitz's attorney, Otto Kranz-
buehler, Moehle said the admir
al's orders were issued after an
allied air attack In 1942 on a
submarine attempting to rescue
survivors.
Moehle claimed he sank 20
ships while commanding a U
boat before he took a shore Job
in 1941. He said he never had
rescued any survivors.
"Many of my sinkings were
out of convoys or on the high
seas, and rescue was Impossible,"
he said.
Japs Executed 9

Manila, Jan. 16 (U.R The

can prisoner from the Lumbang

ince, a witness said today at the

M. T. Paralso, mayor of Lum
bang, testified that two of the
