Egyptians Hope
For Head of
Mummy-in-Law
CAIRO, April 12 (1 The
mummified head of King Tut-Ankh-Amen's
mother-in-law
was reported today to be
among the art treasures
which the Americans found
buried in the Merkens salt
mines in Germany and the
Egyptians want it back.
The Egyptians hope they
have better luck persuading
the allied commission of t h e
validity of their claim to the
head o"f their ancient queen
than they had with the Ger
mans. A German expedition to
Egypt discovered Queen Nef
ertiti's head in 1934 and hur
ried off with it to Germany
where it became a chief at
traction in the Berlin mu
seum. A series of Egyptian
diplomatic protests failed to
get the head back.

0 PRISONERS
WASHINGTON, April 12 OP)
The government today accused
the nazis of shocking atrocities
against American prisoners of
war amid indications of a stif
fening attitude toward German
prisoners in this country.
A joint statement by Secre
tary of War Stimson and Secre
tary of State Stettinius, charg
ing" Germany with "steadily in
creasing failure" to live up to
the Geneva convention in treat
ment of prisoners, declared that
in general "conditions under
which American prisoners arc
held in Germany today are de
plorable." Col. A. H. Brawner asserted
in Chicago meanwhile that Ger
man war prisoners in the sixth
service command "never have
been granted extra meals, be
tween meal snacks or luxuries
of any kind."
Brawner was commenting on
complaints voiced by CIO and
AFL leaders at Granite City,
111., that German prisoners
working there had been allowed
extra meals and other favors.
The war department said
there was no general policy pro
viding for snacks for prisoners,
but it was learned that "gen
eral tightening up" is underway
at various camps and that Ger
man prisoners are going to lose
some of the privileges which
they have had. It was empha
sized, however, that their treat
ment will conform to the Gene
va convention.
On Bread. Water
One indication of sterner
handling came from Belle
Glade, Fla., where 250 prison
ers at a cannery were put on a
bread and water diet after they
had gone on a two-day strike in
protest against a delay in the
arrival of their allotment of
cigarettes.
And Rep. Cliff (D-Tenn.),
member of the house military
committee, says he will move
for an investigation of condi
tions at prisoner of war camps
in this country.
. The statement by Stimson
and Stettinius told 'of efforts to
help relieve the plight of Amer
ican prisoners in Germany but
stressed that the big problem
was the shipment of. Red Cross
supplies to the camps.

Our armies are carrying the

Our western allies, the Brit

IN Italy, General Clark says the

Main said that members of
the Tulelaka Growers had voted
overwhelmingly in favor of ask
ing for the wage hearing to
establish ceilings, and added
that he felt harvest wages pre
vailing last fall were "about
right." (The WFA potato wage
rate last fall was SI. 23 per
hour for harvest work, and a
piece rate of S cents a 60-pound
half sack.)

gave a wage celling scale for
grain operations which he said
grain growers favor. These In
