36 Officials At Notorious Dachau Camp Sentenced To Die On Gallows By DON DOANE ' DACHAU, Dec. 13 (IP) A U. S. military court today sen tenced 36 officials and guards at the notorious Dachau concentra tion camp to death by hanging for the murder, torture and star vation ' of thousands of the camp's-inmates. Another defendant was sen tenced to life imprisonment and three others were sentenced to terms of 10 years each. The 40 defendants were con victed yesterday by the military tribunal, which debated only 90 minutes before bringing in its verdict. Among those convicted were five camD doctors and three prisoners who had colla borated with the SS. ' : Witnesses at the trial said that ' SOOO Jews were killed at Dach au, that inmates were brutally ' beaten, that naked men were im mersed in ice water for experi ments and that some men were sent to the crematory while still alive,' Most Feared . . The camp was the most no torious and most feared of the : concentration camps set up by ' the nazis for political prisoners. The men who operated the horror camp received their sen- tences calmly for the most part, only a few showing any change .' of expression. The life sentence went to Peter Betz, a guard, against whom there was little evidence of personal cruelty. Ten-year terms were given Hugo Laustcr er, who was said by witnesses to have been kind to prisoners; Al bin Gretsch, who was drafted in to the SS and against whom no personal accusations of cruelty were made, and Johann Schocpp, who was drafted from the Ro manian army by the SS and as signed to guard the Dachau tower. Doctor to Die Dr. Klaus Karl Schilling, 74, who killed many prisoners in ex periments through which he sought a malaria vaccine, and SS Officer Mertin Weiss, comman dant of the camp, were among the 36 sentenced to die. Schilling, who last week begged the court for time to complete his experimental rec ords, blinked his eyes rapidly and bowed his bearded head when he heard the words: "Death by Hanging." Among those sentenced to die were Leonhard Eichberger and Sylvester Filleboeck, SS guards accused specifically by partici pating in the execution of 95 captive Russian officers, Johann Kick, in whose office nails were reported torn from the toes and fingers of captives during inter rogation, and iTanz iioettger.

Shoe Prices Not To fie Increased WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (IP) OPA said today there will be no increase in prices the public Says for shoes despite a price ike granted to manufacturers. The agency ruled that a 41 per cent producer's increase to go into effect soon must be ab sorbed by retailers and whole salers. OPA asserted that under this plan, dealers would still make "considerably more" than their peacetime profit. As for retailers, the agency said their current profits are 7.6 per cent, or 6.1 percentage points higher than in 1936-39.

Fewer lay-offs In Industry and an unexpectedly high and sustained rate of buying are amoiie factors that have prompt ed key federal economists to of fer this improved employment outlook: By year's end, the total of ac tual and potential job-seekers will be 4,000,000 at the most, one-third less than had been pre dicted for that date wnen nosuu ties ceased. By next March the jobless will mini per not more man o.uuu.uuu, This may be the peak for 1946, Officials Wary After hovering around that mark until about June the total may begin to decline as civilian manufacturing hits full stride. But officials are wary of guess ing beyond mid-1946. The totals fall far short of Re conversion Director John W, Snyder's estimate, on October 1, that unemployment would hit B, 000.000 by sprine. However, it is known that the forecasts are concurred in by ex perts in Snyder's office, in the bureau of census and some other agencies concerned with the em ployment problem. .
