to have the health department question submitted to voters In ccnnectlon with trfe judicial election. However, a move has since been munched by the Citizens Public Health Council of Madison County, a group supporting the health district plan, to secure favorable action by the county board and have the question submitted to voters on June 4. The committee, It has been learned, Is seeking to have Its petition renewed and re-submitted at the county board's April 19 today meeting In an effort to have the 31 beard reconsider and authorize a referendum on the health department proposition. After rejecting the petition, the county board on March 14 also voted down, 25 to 6, a motion to reconsider its action In turning down the request. The petition requested the board to authorize a special ballot and submit the question of levying a half-mill tax to set up and maintain the proposed county health unit consisting of three public health doctors, two sanitary engineers, four nurses and two stenographers.

The half-mill tax, proponents of the plan pointed out to the board, would produce approximalely 545,000 in revenue, sufficient to set up and operate the health unit. Whether the original petition can be revived legally and re-submitted to the board, and.whether sufficient time remains to meet statutory requirements before referendum vote could be held on the question, are legal points which have not yet been decided. The next county board meeting, It Is pointed out, Is scheduled for April 19 and on the following day, April 20, the county clerk Is required to have ballots ready for mailing to absentee voters In the armed forces.

Oft Senator Wheeler declared today there must be "something crooked" In the OPA or it would take more vigorous action against black markets. Thomas I. Emerson, deputy OPA administrator for enforcement, had just told the Senate agriculture committee that reports of black markets In meat were "grossly exaggerated." The OPA, he said, had the facts, "If you know what the facts are then there is something crooked In your office," Wheeler retorted. "The trouble is that when you are told about the situation you don't do anything about it." Wheeler's remarks capped an exchange begun when Emerson described as "fantastic" reports the senator said he had received that 80 percent of the meat sold In most big cities Is black market. Senator Wherry (R-Neb) broke in to ask "Do you think there is less hlack market now than a year ago?" "No, I think there is more," Emerson replied.

Wherry said there was certainly more in meat and that as for used cars "you can't buy a used car now except in the black market." Wherry said he knew where chickens were selling for 75 cents a pound in Washington and "I can tell you where I can buy points for $8 a thousand." When Wheeler argued that If OPA had information on the extent of black markets it should put them out of business, Emerson replied that it would take a much larger staff to enforce OPA regulations than it does to find out what is going on. Emerson said OPA has 3200 enforcement officers, or an average of only one for every county in the country. (An appropriation for 300 additional officers is pending.) Wheeler read a letter he said came from a New Jersey city saying bank clerks are selling red points. Most banks handle ration point banking accounts for people the food trade. They are supposed to destroy ration coupons aftter crediting them to the depositor's account.

Emerson said OPA received hundreds of letters like that but most of the charges proved to have no foundation in fact. "By and large we feel that the counterfeit problem Is under control," Emerson said. The OPA staff, le related, recently seized 50,000,000 counterfeit red coupons in Chicago end "drastic action" has been against counterfeit rings in Boston and New York.

The head keeper, "a mouscy- ooking middle-aged man who had been promoted from driving vic- 'ims to the asylum to the actual oh of doing away with the officers the first indica- ion of how the asylum operated, 'ohnson declared.

"He told us the asylum never held more than 500 patients and howed us that there were only 81 graves in the cemetery. There vere fresh, empty graves, and we asked him about them he nid 'we always keep three graves head'." The officers learned that from ix to 20 bodies were dumped into each grave. Capt. Hamilton, a veteran of 20 years at London's Bow strset police station, said that on one day 500 Russians were taken into the asylum and not one came out alive. "When we first walked through the asylum the insane inmates, laughing and screaming, followed us around in packs," Hamilton added.

"There were dwarfs and stupid giants, but all seemed harmless. Only the sane people there were killed." He said that each morning the surgeon director, the head keeper and the nurse conferred on who would be killed that day. 'A Kind Man' "One assistant said the doctor was regarded as a kind man because if one of the victims fought against taking the hypo needle the surgeon would not let the attendants beat him into submission." Hamilton recounted. "He just let the man go without food until re was too weak to object." The ga; chambers and crematorium were operated by SS men from Berlin, the investigators added. By STERLING F.

GREEN WASHINGTON, April 10 War production may be cut as much as 50 percent within a year following V-E day instead of the 35 percent officially forecast. This prediction, indicating a civilian goods output well above that of 1939 In dollar value, was attrlb- today to WPB Chairman J. 'A. Krug by automobile manufacturers who conferred with him In Detroit last week. Content with these government reassurances about reconversion, council members nevertheless made It clear the Industry is not completely happy over the indicated trend of postwar labor matters.

At a news conference held by the council yesterday, Vice President B. E. Hutchlnson of the Chrysler Corp. said he stood "very close" to the National Association ot Manufacturers In what he termed Its opposition to the postwar labor-management "peace charter" signed last month by presidents of the CIO. AFL and the U.

S. Chamber of Commerce. The automobile Industry, Hutchinson said, is "very sympathetic to the purposes" of the charter but fears that It contains "the seeds of future discontent, instead of labor-management harmony." Labor leaders already are proclaiming the charter as a management guarantee not to press for new labor laws, he said. The charter asserts labor's right to organize and bargain collectively, free from any legislation restricting those rights. Hutchinson said he was "curious" lo know why Eric Johnston, Chamber president, put his signature to the charter without formally consulting or getting approval from his labor relations committee.

That body, said the Chrysler executive, at the very time was drafting a five-point program of proposed labor legislation in collaboration with a similar committee from NAM. The Chamber spokesman later said Otto Seyferth, labor relations committee chairman, was present nnd gave his endorsement when Johnston announced the charter. He added that the five-point program was sponsored by NAM and has gone no further than the committee, so far as the Chamber is concerned. Hutchinson, asserting it had been approved by both committees but not yet accepted by either Chamber or NAM, described the program as calling for legislation to: Prohibit strikes Intended to coerce government agencies, such as work stoppages designed to influence wage decision. Forbid strikes called to prevent the use of labor-saving devices.

Make individual union members liable under misdemeanor penalties for strikes and pickling in violation of National Labor Rela- Uons Board rulings. Deter strikes called in violation of collective bargaining agreements. Protect non-strikers from coercion or "molestation" if they stay on the job while a strike is in progress. "We certainly feel," said Hutchinson, "that this so-called labor charter should not be used to stop discussion of these vital questions." 1500 Americans Freed by Russ Land in Boston BOSTON PORT OF EMBARKATION, April 10 Fifteen hundred liberated American sol diers were eating good Yankee "chow" today after months of meagre meals In German prison camps. Freed from Nazi rule by Russians sweeping across Poland last January, the men marched ashore from an army transport just after dark Sunday first large group of ex-prisoners to come home from the European theater.

The cheering soldiers trudged down gangplanks, almost drowning the music of e. welcoming army band on the dock, and then were whisked away to a nearby camp for processing and briefing, pre limlnary to being granted furloughs. They etc steak and ice cream and all that goes between and talked endlessly. There were tales of near starvation and mistreatment, yarns of high adventure and thrilling escape, of'desperate flight through enemy-held territory, and of death faced on many a cold and fearful morning. Through the discordant symphony of the arrival and the settling down ran two themes, echoed and re-echoed by a thousand throats, "The Red Cross," the men said, "those packages of theirs kept us alive," and the Poles, "they didn't have much, but they shared what they had." Typical of the men who spent some time at Limburg a German prison camp recently taken by the First Army, was Pfc.
