Nazi Prisoners Held By Reds For Forced Labor By JACK BELL WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 Uf'i Russia has declined to discuss the fate of hundreds of thous ands of Gorman prisoner's In her hands. Disclosed today by a high of ficial, this development of the 1'otsdnm conference has dis rupted attempts to reach an Hi lled ngraemeut for tlio system atic return of captured Germans to civil llfu In ull pnrta of Ger many, American occupation forces have proceeded on schedule to screen and release prisoners not held for war crimes. But so far as this country's representatives have been able to loam, Russia has released few, If any, of tbu men It holds. The supposition in official quarters here Is that the Rus sians already hnvo put many of these prisoners to work In re building factories and elties de vastated by tho German in vaders. The Russians long ago msdo known their Intention of utiliz ing forced labor for reconstruc tion. It was one of the major problems discussed at Yalta by the late President Roosovclt, ffrmer Prime Minister Churchill and Generalissimo Stalin. Tho Soviets woro repi i-scntcd as contending that German civilians, as well as primmer, who fell undor control of tho Russian armies should be pressed Into service. Whllo tho Americans apparent ly expressed opposition lo tho n no of what has been called In this country "slave labor," the Kusslnns reputedly argued that a decimated German Industry could not employ all available Gorman manpower, hence It should bo used by the vlotor countries. There were reports that large numbers of civilians bad bean transported from Poland and other soviet-occupied areas to Russia to work in factories, on farms, In the mines and on re construction projects. Some Americans who visited the Russlnn-occupicd zono in Germany reported seeing few 18 to 43 year old males there. Many of these, however, may hnvo fled to other portions of Germany as the soviet armies advanced toward Berlin. Three Killed In Fatal V-J Shooting In Idaho WALLACE.
