240,000 Jews Are
Held in One Camp
News of Concentration Is
Learned by Accident
-—---- V
STOCKHOLM.—The small Czecho-
slovakian town of Marie Theresien-
stadt, with a pre-war population of
17,000, now accommodates 240,000
Jews from all corners of Europe,
Imprisoned there by the Nazis un-
der the doctrine of Aryan superior-
ity.
Some details of this huge concen-
tration camp, located between
Prague and Dresden, reached neu-
tral Sweden by accident. When the
Nazis deported between 500 and 600
Danish citizens of Jewish origin to
Marie Thcresienstadt, they made
the error of sending away several
of pure -Aryan-stoek. After four
months of unspeakable experiences,
the mistake was ‘‘corrected’’ and
they were returned to Denmark.
Danish patriots have since report-
ed their experiences through the un-
derground news network.
Jews from Holland, Norway, Bel-
gium, France, Greece, Italy,'Ruma-
nia, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary and
Poland comprise the population of
Marie Theresienstadt. There are no
Russian Jews* reports say the Ger-
mans always shoot them.
T\vo-thirds of the Jewish inhabi-
tants are forced to work in German
war industries situated In the town,
mostly plants producing poisonous
chemicals. Others are employed on
works projects in the town, includ-
ing a sewage system to accommo-
date the enormous increase in popu-
lation.
Many Jews, despairing of any
lessening of their load of misery,
are committing suicide by attempt-
ing to escape. Two or three dally
take this easiest way of ending their
lives. Successful escape is almost
impossible in this concentration
camp, and failure is sure death.

Employment Dips 200,000
In Month; Idle Decline
WASHINGTON. — Total employ-
ment in this country declined by
200,000 during February to 50,200.-
000, the lowest level recorded in the
last two years, the census bureau
reported. The decrease from Janu-
ary, the bureau said, took place en-
tirely among women.
Total wartime employment
reached a peak of 54,800,000 in Au-
gust, 1942, dropped to 51,700,000 in
January and February, 1943, climbed
to 54,600.000 last July, and has been
falling, slowly ever since.
Employment of women reached t
wartime peak of 17,900.000 last July
and has been declining since.
Despite the February decline, un-
employment also decreased, drop-
ping from 1,100,000 in January to
900,000, the wartime low which was
maintained from October, 1943, to
January.
That was explained, the bureau
said, by the fact that the number
of nonworfcfers—persons not seeking
Jobs—increased by 200,000 during
January to 42,400,000 in February,
the highest total in this category
since March, 1943. »
Upholds a ‘Tardy’ Girl
Who Needed ‘40 Winks’
HARTFORD, CONN. — Alarm
clocks have been classified as "dia-
bolical inventions and devices" by
Cornelius A. Moylan, compensation
commissioner, in a finding which de-
clares that sleep beyond the hour
recorded on the clock is not suf-
ficient cause for the dismissal of a
war worker for tardiness.
The judgment upheld an appeal
filed by Theresa Meli, who was dis-
charged from a Hartford war plant
several weeks ugo for tardiness.
“Anyone who says he gets out of
bed on time joyously and with much
gusto appears to me to be a pre-
varicator of parts,” Mr. Moylan
stated In declaring that Miss Meli's
tardiness had Justification. 0
Commissioner Moylan attributed
Miss Meli’s difficulties to "the de-
sire of the inert recliner to take ad-
vantage of an additional 40 winks.’’
