GENERALS HANGED BY RUSSIANS
SPIED FOR GERMANY DURING WAR (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 16. The British United Press says the Moscow Radio announced that a German S.S. general and five White Russians, including four generals, were hanged. They were heads of White Russian guards detachments during the revolutionary period and spied for Germany during the war. The Moscow Radio says the White Russians hanged were LieutenantGeneral A. P. Shkuro, Major-Generals Prince Sultangirei, S. N. Krasnov, and T. I. Romanov and Ataman (a Cossack title) P. N. Krasnov. The German was Helmut von Panwitz. Reuters recalls that German newspapers reported in 1943 that Ataman Krasnov had undertaken to raise and lead against the Russians a Cossack army of 200,000 and appealed to Cossacks of the Red Army to join the Germans.
