BERLIN, July 25 (') German
divers have found hundreds of
corpses still clogging a flooded
three-mile section of Berlin's
subway in the heart of the city,
and' have refused to continue
work there, officials disclosed
today.
The stretch of subway, run
ning under Unter Den Linden
from Anhaltcr, was being used
as a hospital during the fighting
for Berlin. Nazi S. S. lenders
are reported to have flooded it
when those in the tunnel signi
fied a wish to surrender just be
fore the city fell.
A British member of the allied
transport commission said the
bodies were those of wounded
soldiers and hospital workers
with Red Cross arm brassards.
PETA1NS PLANS
(Continued from Paee One)
Judee Paul Moneibeaux then
read into the record what he
said was a telegram from re
tain to Hitler asking permission
for Vichy troops to help the
Germans in defense.
The issue arose : during the
cross examination of former
Premier E d o u a r d Daladier,
whose angry testimony was
-punctuated by chair slamming
and shouts.
Daladier was followed to the
stand by the last elected presi
dent of the third republic, Al
bert Lebrun dressed in a for
mal morning coat and striped
trousers and wearing a rosette
of the Legion of Honor, in his
lapel.
Lebrun recited a succession of
military defeats which preceded
the i rencn armistice.
Juror Questions
'The telegram was read in re
sponse to a juror's questioning
of Daladier, who had testified
that "all the traitors of France"
flocked to Vichy after the armis
tice and that the Petain regime
destroyed the republic. Dala
dier nad declared tnat t rance
was not unarmed when the Ger
mans struck in 1940.
The same juror asked Dala
dier whether he knew of a tele
gram from Petain to Hitler con
gratulating the Germans on the
bloody repulse of the Canadians
at Dieppe.
There was no immediate re
ply. Daladier agreed during cross
examination with testimony yes
terday of former Premier Paul
Reynaud that "certain conces
sions in Africa" to Mussolini
were considered in 1940 in an
effort to keep Italy at peace.
"The true cause of our de
feat," Daladier said, "resulted
from demoralization of the army
and the old conception of the
inviolability of the Ardennes"
the mountainous gap of Bel
gium and northeast France
through which the - Germans
burst French lines in 1940 and
pushed back the Americans last
December.
He said the defeat also was
due to military "incapacity" and
activities of the fifth column.

Industrial Mishaps Slash
Washington Lumber Output
OLYMPIA, July 25 (JP) Ac
cidents are doing more to reduce
lumber production in Washing
ton than any other factor within ,
the control of management and ,
labor, Director Earl N. Ander
son of the state department of
labor and industries reported to
day. Revealing some of the stag
gering costs of industrial mis
haps, Anderson said his depart
ment has determined there is an
immediate necessity for organiz
ing a "sound and complete"
safety program in the lumber
industry, the most hazardous in
dustry in the state.
Lumbering's various opera
tions lost more than 12 million
man hours of working time in
1944 through accidents. Ander
son said this cost the workers
$16,960,000 in lost earnings
and necessitated condensation
awards of $2,810,000. - j
How lost time gouged at war
production is stressed in statis
tics prepared by the depart
ment's safety division, super
vised by Dan Adair.
The logging industry lost 157,
403 working days because of ac
cidents in 1943. This, said An
derson, was the equivalent, of
525 workers who could have
been employed for the full year.
Such a working force could have
established 10 logging "sides" '
including enough persons to
manage and maintain the camps,
and have produced 360 million
feet of lumber during the year.
wnne tne logging industry
in our state is engaged in its
greatest production drive, these
records reveal its strength is be
ing sapped by accidents," Ander
son said. "These losses can be
reduced only by a widespread

the Chevrolet division of Gener
al Motors in Cincinnati in a dis

manager. Union officials said
his return would end the walk
out. In St. Louis a majority of 1900
striking AFL butchers in five
packing plants voted to return
immediately pending settlement
of their demands for concessions
equalling those granted by the
WLB to workers in the big five
packing plants.
The demands included furnish
ing of work clothing, time allow
ance for sharpening tools and
other awards described as
"fringe" Increases.

Admiral Nimltz' 30-word com

pressing In for the kill. "Com
batant ships," it said, were the
targets for the second succes
sive day of sweeps over the
great Kure naval base and
Kobe, 150 miles east. Both are
on the Inland sea.
"What's left of the Japanese
navy is helpless," snorted Ad
miral Halsey in his flagship
broadcast, "but just for good
luck we will hunt them out of
their holes."
First fragmentary reports of
Halscy's carrier strikes yester
day showed American pilots
heavily damaged the battleships
Ise and Hyuga, left the heavy
cruiser Tone and light cruiser
Oyodo in flames, and damaged
the heavy cruiser Aoba and a
large aircraft carrier. British
airmen damaged a Kobe type
escort carrier.

semi-carriers by the addition of
small flight decks astern, are
