Safe To Live Near Atomic Energy Plant
Whitehaven, Nov. 6.—The Government told townspeople here on Saturday that Britain's new atomic plant near by would not sterilise their men- folk. Many of the 33,350 residents of this resort and industrial community, on England's northwest coast, had been worried.
They had showered the Ministry of Supply. which supervises atomic development, with en- quiries when work started on the great Sellafield plutonium plant two miles away. They feared that rays from the plant would make their men sterile and that plant wastes would contaminate their streams and kill their livestock.

Offensive Act At Dachau
THE thousands of Allied soldiers who
visited Dachau alter its liberation in the spring of 1945 will surely never forget what they saw there They will never forget the scores of shrivelled bodies lying where they were starved and smothered to death in a train of freight cara. They will never forget the grim silence of the gas chamber, the ilving horrors of the hospital, the bodies of the hated guards lying in the mont where their erstwhile 'prisoners had shot them. And above all they will never forget the 30,000 Inmates-the tortured, shrunken, cadaver- ous human beings who, bewildered by their freedom, stayed on, like frightened animals, in the bloody charnol house to which they had been condemned by their. Nazi masters, And those who themselves suffered the torments of Dachau, of Buchenwald, of Auschwitz, and who survived, will certainly never forget, Is t possible that the German people will forget? That would, indeed, be too bad.. for the new and better Germany that. we dare hope and believe is arising from the ashes of Hitlerlam can never succeed in offacing the guilt of the Nazis by aflempiing to blot it from human memory. That is hardly the way to explate the crimes against civilisation, which the con
centration camps of the Nazis so dramati catly represent. And yet a recent news story from Dachau has set some people wondering, It was reported that the Mite where thousands of Dachau's victims were buried was being dug up for com- mercial use until the United States occupation authorities stepped in. The clay content of the earth makes it valuable for the manufacture of pottery. The bones of the dead were being tossed into wooden boxes. The story made no mention of how these bones were to be disposed of. Hanes, too, can be used in making chinaware-perhaps, the thrifty Germans intended that there should be nothing wasted. The unceremonious manner in which this grave alle has been treated is so obviously offensive that it seems Incredible it could have been conceived, even by those whose memories are un- troubled by guilt or unharrowed by twelve fateful years of German history. The dead of Dachau cannot be brought back to life. But they can be treated respect. And the place where they are laid to rest con and should be set aside as a monument and as a solemn re- minder of the dignity of man. This the.
