American editors and legislators wt%
visited the Buchenwald concentre*
tlon camp have asked the Army tt
let them aee more evidence of New

America.
The 10-man congressional parts
visited Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhowe#
at his forward command post yea.
terday, and asked to visit mor»
camps so they could get the be»
possible picture.
The editors also said they couk
not form full opinions after tht
Army whisked them through
Buchenwald in a tour lasting lea
than an hour and a half.
Senator Alben W. Barkley, Demo
cratic Majority Leader from Ken
tucky, told Eisenhower his grout
was grateful for the opportunity t<
see Buchenwald, but was anxiova
to get a more complete report f«
Congress.
Stars and Stripes reporter Charla
P. Kiley, writing for the combined
press, said Eisenhower told the leg
islators they would have every op
pcrtunity to “see for themselves”.
“Nothing is covered up. We hav«
nothing to co’-ceal. The barbaroui
treatment these people received i*
the German concentration camps if
almost unbelievable.
"I want you to see for yourselvei
and be the spokesmen for the United
States,” Eisenhower said.
