BOMB GERMANY

U.S. OBSERVER’S PLEA WAY TO BEAT NAZIS SERB GUERRILLAS’ STAND (10.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, July 1. Miss Ruth Mitchell, who arrived at Jersey City in the Swedish ship Drottning'holm from Lisbon, and who joined the. Yugoslav Chetnik guerrilla army in April, 1941, was later arrested by the Gestapo after this and spent nearly a year in 12 different concentration camps, said that bombing is the way to beat Germany because they cannot take it. The Chetniks are fighting magnificently in the Yugoslav mountains, keeping five divisions of Germans engaged. The German concentration camps, she added, were filthy. She had been treated like, a criminal. The men in the camps were chained up. In Liebenau concentration camp there were 360 British and 56 American women prisoners. Miss Mitchell brought back a basket made of string by British women prisoners who presented it to President Roosevelt. She said that Red Cross parcels had saved their lives. It is doubtful whether they could have lived without them.
