Lawmakers Called
Back To Settle
Foreign Aid Bill
' WASHINGTON (UPI)-Con-gressional
leaders today aban
doned plans lo adjourn Con
gress tonight, called on scores
of members who already have
left town to return, and said
they plan to keep the lawmak
ers here until a contested for
eign aid bill has been finally
passed.
They acted under the prod
ding of President Johnson who
told Democratic leaders of
House and Senate at a While
House strategy session it was
imperative not only that they
finish work on the aid measure
but that they send it to the
Wl'ite House minus a House
approved curb on use of gov
ernment credit in the proposed
sale of surplus U.S. wheat lo
Russia.
Tough Task
This posed a tough task for
House leaders, who apparently
were expected to turn around
enough home - bound House
members to reverse a 218 to IliO
roll call vote by which the
House only last Monday had ap
proved the trade curb. .
After only 288 of the 435
members answered an opening
quorum call at the start of what
was supposed to have been the
year's last House session Demo
cratic Leader Carl Albert took
the floor to announce the new
plans.
He appealed to those present
In cancel their plans to go
home, and called on those who
already had left town to return.

Grimes Tried
FRANKFURT, Germany
(LTD West Germany put 22
men on trial today for running
the greatest mass murder fac
tory in history and the defend
ants began making excuses.
"When I was sent to Ausch
witz in 1942 I did not know it
was an extermination camp,"
said Torbert Mulka, the 68-ycar-
old assistant commandant of the i
Nazi death mill where an esti
mated 2.5 to 4 million persons
perished.
''I only joined the (Nazi elite)
SS because I had no job and
I was detailed to an extermina
tion camp only because a knee
injury kept me from service at
the front," said Karl Hocckcr,
a 51-ycar-old former assistant
Auschwitz commandant accused
with Mulka of making sure, the
mass gas chambers worked
smoothly.
Not Prnurl of Number
Wilhelm Boger, the 56-year-
old former first sergeant of the
Gestapo guard and the alleged
inventor of special torture de
vices, told the hushed cuurt, "I
I still remember my SS number."
"It was 277!). I'm not very
proud of it, but it was some
thing special," he said, nerv
ously rubbing his shabby blue
suit.
Their words came as the de
fendants, one by one, rose to
tell of their prc-Auschwitz lives.
In coming weeks the greatest
war crimes trial in post-occupation
German history is expected
to last six or eight months the
court will hear evidence pin
ning down the almost endless
list of charges.

on Burners
Ihe burners are contributing (0
air pollution problems.
One suggestion by Richard
Hatchard, chief ot uir quality
control, was (hat studies at Ore
gon State University recom
mends mill wastes be used for

In the Medford area some of
the larger mills have installed
chippcrs, converting Ihe wood
wastes inlo chips for pulp m ils
and others have installed circu
lators in the burners which re
sults in more complete combus
tion of the wood waste, thus
reducing the amount of smoke.
In other action, the authority
ordered the United Growers of
Salem lo slop polluting Pi ingle
Creek wilh cannery waste; and
Thillips Brothers Farm in Mari
