I nited Nations
Propose To
Outlaw Genocide
WASHINGTON, The con
gress of industrial organizations
(CIO> charged today that more
than 11,000,000 persons are being
! worked to death in Sovte* labor
camps.
A statement by James B. Carey,
CIO secretary-treasurer, prepared
for the senate foreign relations
committee, said in part:
“Both Hitler and Stalin organ
ized the greatest machinery for
literally squeezing the blood out
of human beings for two purpos
es: first to get human energy
without pay and secondly, to kill,
through overwork, the undesir
able people.
“The population of slave labor
camps in Germany reached al
most eleven million. . . .The num
ber of inmates from the Baltic na
tions in the Siberian slave labor
camps, including the salt mines,
is certainly higher.”
The senate committee is hold
ing hearings on the United Na
tions proposal to outlaw genocide.
Kodiak Cook
Seeks Warmth
Via Alean HVay
•
SEATTLE, (fP)—Lynn Markham,
who claims that more Kodiak
b’ars have been shot over his Ko
diak bar than in all the rest of the
Alaskan island was in Seattle yes
terday with a recipe for sugar
cured salmon and a yen for a
warmer clime.
Markham, proprietor of Ko
diak’s Montmarte Inn, famed Al
askan lodge for grizzly hunters,
drove to Seattle from Anchorage
—3,057 miles over snow-clad
roads.
“And I didn’t have to put on my
chains until I hit Snoqualmie
pass," he pointed out. “I figured
Seattle would be nice and warm,
but now I’ve got to go to Califor
nia to get some warm weather.”
Markham said the American
part of the Alaska highway is in
excellent condition now. The
Canadian section is not as well
maintained.
“The weather is so cold along
the highway that the snow is
packed hard, like sand,” he ex
plained. “You can travel along at
70 miles an hour and if you have
to hit the brakes you won’t skid
la bit.”
Coldest temperature during the
i trip was 68 degrees below zero at
the Coal river, he said. With gas
| oline, food and lodgings available
at least every 100 miles, he en
countered no trouble at all.
Markham, whose own lodge is
headquarters for hunters who vis
it Kodiak, doesn’t hunt the big
grizzlies himself.
“Why should I?” he shrugged.
i “I hear those bears shot this way
iAga Khan's Jewels
Mysteriously
Returned
MARSEILLE, (£>)—Half of the
Aga Kahn’s stolen fortune in jew
i elry—$420,000 worth of the gems
—turned up mysteriously on a
police station doorstep last night,
i French police, looking for the
last six months for tommy-gun
ners who held up the Moslem
leader on a Riviera highway last
Aug. 3, found the valuables in a
package outside the ninth police
! brigade station here after an an
| onymous telephoned tip-off.
The police first estimated the
find at $280,000 in value. Three
experts, hurriedly summoned,
raised the appraisal to $420,000.
Investigators announced no the
ories as to who tossed the myster
ious package. Presumably it came
from one of the holdup gang,
possibly alarmed by a series of ar
rests recently.
Nine men were arrestted last
weeek for alleged participation
in the daring highway holdup in
which the fabulously wealthy
Moslem potentate and his wife
lost gems worth between $"00,
000 and $850,000.
A widespread police search has
been underway for other mem
bers of the gang believed to have
hidden the loot.
and that way and every other way
at my bar every day and every
night.”
His recipe for sugar-cured sal
mon is a secret. A special ?*Iont
marte delicacy, it is to be mar
; keted next year after Markham
.builds a cannery on Kodiak.
