BERLIN, Fri. (11 a.m.)— United States forces have discovered 15 ings, including works by Cezanne, Monet, Renoir and Gorot, believed to have been looted from occupied France by the Nazis, at a farm house about 100 miles from Munich. Colonel Wilhelm Brendel, who headed a Wehrmacht art collecting group and was believed to have been responsible for the theft, died in an American zone prisoner-of-war camp in 1945 without disclosing the location of a cache, estimated to be worth more than £50,000.
