Siberia Repatriation
Appeal to MacArthur
Is Renewed by Japs
By tho Associated Press
TOKYO, Sept. 7.—The Japanese
government today urgently renewec
its appeal to Supreme Headquarter;
for aid in repatriating prisoners helc
by the Russians, declaring that more
than 100.000 died of exposure last
winter and that this winter's tol
might he higher.
The Russians have consistent!}
refused to discuss the estimated 1.
000.000 prisoners of war they took
in their brief campaign in Man
churia just before the Japanese
surrender.
\juiy .vesieroay Kussian officials
here complained that Gen. MacAr
thurs headquarters had refused tc
furnish ships for the repatriation
and drew a quick reply that .the
Russians themselves were respon
sible because they wanted merely
»o rid themselves of 40,000 civilians
while refusing to negotiate concern
ing war prisoners.
The Japanese appeal has been
forwarded bv headquarters to the
State Department in Washington.
The Japanese in a letter urged
that the Soviet-held port of Dairen
be opened for repatriations, noting
that Hulutao, through which some
civilian repatriates have been leav
ing Manchuria, is frozen over from
December to March.
If repatriation cannot be arranged,
the Japanese asked that efforts
at least be made to get food, medi
cines and clothing to those who must
spend another winter in Siberia and
Manchuria.
Last winter, many Japanese men
there killed their wives and chil
idren to spare them suffering, while
others sold their families to Man
churians, the letter said.
The letter said some Japanese
had escaped from Russian -hands
and reported that 700,000 Japanese
soldiers had been shipped to Si
beria by the Russians and were
being used to build highways, re
pair railroads, load military supplies
and do other heavy labor.

orders to blow the five Rhine
bridges at Cologne, one while hun
dreds of refugees were streaming
westward across it to find safety
behind Allied lines.
Grone. former Reichscommis
sioner for Northern France and Bel
gium. was described by the British
as being in the “top flight of Nazi
officials and major war criminals,’’
and the last Nazi gauleiter still at
liberty. The 43-year-old fugitive
had been sought single V-E day.

he tried to commit suicide four
months after Germany fell.
In the last days of the war he
was gauleiter at Cologne and
Aachen, and was one of the or
ganizers of the VoUcsturm (People's
Armyt created by Hitler in a des
perate attempt to halt the Allied
tide.
"Failure of the Volksturm to halt
the American advances did not pre
vent him from personally ordering
the blowing of all five Rhine bridges
at Cologne,” the British announce
ment said. "With brutal disregard
of human life which so character
ized his rule of occupied countries,
Grone ordered one of these blown
when hundreds of refugees were
pouring westward across the
Rhine.’’
