Germans Flee From Prague
Toward Lines Of Americans
By HAL BOYLE ,
I'llAUUE,, muy v iLciuycaj yit't
Konrad licnlcln, tho traitorous
saulciter of the Sudctcnland, and
Karl Frank, bloodthirsty nnzt
military Rovernor of Czechoslov
akia, were taken into custody
by American troops today, as
German soldiers fled westward
from this shattered capital
toward American lines.
Henlcln, the Sudeten organiz
er who paved the way for Hit
ler's march Into Czechoslovakia,
was caged by tho first division.
Victorious Russian troops
paraded through tho city amid
the wild acclaim of the populace,
which lost 0000 casualties, by
Czech account, in the last ditch
bitter three-day battle with the
iibzIs.
"The dead and wounded arc
so many they still ore uncount
ed," declared Vaclav Capck,
spokesman for tho Czech nation
al committee. In describing the
last major battle of the European
war, which ended at 0 a. m., to
day when the Czech flag whs
hoisted over tho last Gorman
strongpolnt.
. Outburst of Joy
The refugee, crowded city
last European capital to bo lib
eratederupted In a mad out
burst of relief and Joy after the
first reconnaissance elements of
the soviet army had raced into
Prague from the northwest at
S a. m., after a 33-milo over
night sprint.
Fur-capped Russians, looking
like Daniel Boones on motor
cycles, were almost mobbed by
the exultant throngs. Every red
army vehicle soon was overflow
ing with pretty Czech girls
whom the G. I's. have voted the
best looking in Europe.
Flee Toward Yanks
Westward from Prague to the
American lines at Pllsen
stretched a 45-milo column of
broken German troops fleeing
toward Yank positions to escape
being taken prisoner by the Rus
sians. Among them were thousands
of S. S. troops, whom the Czechs
accuse of slaughtering thousands
of unarmed boys and men in tho
last three days, and of herding
women and children before their
tanks to protect their vehicles
from the patriot's fire.
In the 56-mile line of glum
Germans streaming toward Pll
sen were scores of colonels and
personnel many of them hoof
ing it along the highway with
ban-footed privates and hun
dreds of wives and children of
German occupation troops, try
ing to ride on dilapidated cars
and carts in this long column of
woe and red-faced distress.

WIOnSEESEXAMPLE
OF NAZI CRUELTIES
WASHINGTON, May 10 (P)
Americans must look on German
prison camps as evidence of how
ruthless their enemy in the next
war may bo, Rep. Mott (R-Ore.)
declared here yesterday.
Rep. Mott was a member of a
12-man congressional delegation
which toured German concentra
tion camps at the Invitation of
General Elsenhower.
"The prison camp system un
questionably was a carefully or
ganized scheme to exterminate
all enemies of nazism," Mott told
reporters.
"If England or America had
been overrun, our fate also
would have been Just what Ger
many wanted it to be."
Mott said the German people
understand the war is lost but
show no humiliation, no remorse.
"Worst of all," he said, "are
the youngsters of 10, 12 or 14
years. They are arrogant, super
cilious. They stand alongside
the road spitting at their con
querors, at the cars as they pass.
"It is this generation upon
which Germany must build for
the future and it is a foundation
which must, itself, be entirely
rebuilt mentally."

POWER SALE TO AID
BOISE, Idaho, May 10
Sale of electricity will bear 72
per cent of the burden under a
revised financing program to re
pay the government the cost of
the half-billion dollar Columbia
basin project, including Grand
Coulee dam, it was disclosed yes
terday in a report released to
congress by Interior Secretary
Harold L. Ickes.
The repayment program was
formulated by the bureau of
reclamation, the Bonneville
power administration and the in
terior department's division of
power.
"This revenue from power
sales will greatly reduce the
amount which water users will
be required to pay toward con
struction costs of the irrigation
system," the report said.
It estimated that payments
will average $85 per acre during
the 40-year repayment period
for water users.
