Younger Mineola, N. May 5.

Rep. Leonard Hall, N. returned yesterday from a tour of German prison camps and mended murder trials for all Germans- "from top to bottom" -responsible, for such "living hells" as the Buchenwald death factory. "The thing that hit me hardest at Buchenwald were the little children," Hall said. "There were 900 of them, all boys from six years old up.

They had been there three years and most of them were picked up for playing in the streets after curfew hours. They slept six kids to a -long wooden shelf with one cotton blanket apiece and no mattress. Their legs were no bigger than chair legs." Hall, with Reps. Clare Boothe Luce, and John Kunkel, visited Buchenwald, where German records, showed 51,732 political prisoners died or were killed since 1934. The congressional party arrived six days afer Buchenwald was captured.

"We must Hall said, "in statements from the Germans that they did not know what was going on under Hitler. We "must take the attitude that all nazi war criminals must be tracked down just as we track down American criminals in this country." "I still can't get the stench out of my nostrils," he said. "The first thing I saw was a wagonload of 140 dead bodies piled like firewood. There was the body of a storm trooper guard emong them. He had tried to escape the Americans by mingling with the prisoners but the prisoners killed him with a pick-axe-I didn't blame them." He's said the only clean building in Buchenwald was the brothel where 16 girl prisoners served 400 nazis.

The brothel, he said, was now being used by the Americans as a hospital building. The former hospital building was SO filthy, Hall said, that he and Kunkel got lice "just walking ing through it." Hall said the guards in the camp were well fed and healthy in appearance as were "all the German civilians I saw." "The little villages of Germany are, barely touched by the war," he said. "The fields are plowed and ready for spring planting. The people are healthy, but the women look at you like they could kill you. Only the roads show the straift.

In every possible conveyance the Germans are on the move. They are fleeing, but they don't know where to go to escape. They are just Hall also visited Nordhausen where a huge V-1 and V-2 rocket factory was built inside a mountain. He said slave labor was used to man the assembly line and that the prisoners were worked until they were no good and then thrown into the yard to die. No laborer, he said, came out of the rocket factory alive to spread word of the secret weapon.

"That underground factory was completed in 1938," Hall said. fact alone should make all Americans realize we are dealing with a wily and dangerous foe. It is now up to us to see that never again the Germans are permitted to start on such a road of. horror." ATTEND TEACHERS SESSION Shedd- Mrs. Lee McLagen, Mrs.
