today \u201ceverybody fights, even the child in a bombing raid fights.\u201d Defending the German system I of slave labor, he eaid \u201cthe use j of manpower is an integral part | of total war.\u201d At another\"point ! he said: \u201cIf everyone else in | Germany was working, why should , not the inmates of concentration camips?\u201d Earlier Goering had sought to justify the invasion of Yugoslavia without a declaration of war- on the grounds such a declaration was \u201cunnecessary since all the Yugoslav leader's knew we were going to attack.\u201d He said the Nazis invaded the Low Countries because they learned the French General Staff had received Belgian permission to occupy that country.He attempted to strike at the Soviet Union repeatedly during his day-long recital.Referring to the Nazi program he had devised for economic exploitation of conquered Soviet areas, which the prosecution had introduced as evidence, Goering said it was intended to operate \u2018just _ as the Russians are doing now in areas Russia occupies in Germany, with the exception that we would not have dismantled Russian economy to the last bolt and screw as is now being done.\u201d He admitted a prosecution charge that Russian prisoners were used to man German anti-aircraft batteries, but added they were all volunteers \u201cbecause many Russians were ready to fight against their own country.\u201d Iran Minister of War .\u2022\tmu Claims to Have Been Airmail 1 CllS Misquoted on Fears oti^.^.Russian Attack and on 01 Being bllOt Plans for Resisting Any\t° Invasion.Tehran* March 16.\u2014 Gen.Ahmed Sapehbod Amir Ahmedi, Minuter of War, told newspapermen today he \u201cdenied categorically\u201d all statements accredited to him by foreign newspapermen following a press conference March 13 in which he was reported to have said the Iranian army would defend the capital \u201cto the last man\u201d if Russian troops moved toward Tehran.Ahmedi and Prince Firouz, Political Undersecretary of State and director of propaganda, who met jointly with newspapermen to make the official denial, charged that the minister\u2019s actual responses had been \u201ccompletely misinterpreted\u201d by a War Department interpreter, who sat in at the March 13 press conference.Firouz added that foreign radio reports that Tehran residents fear Russian invasion \u201care completely false.\u201d He handed out a copy of a paper headed \u201cWar Minister\u2019s Denial\u201d which he asked newspapermen to distribute to \u201ccorrect false impressions created abroad.\u201d While A POW FO.Rudolph Roman Says He Was Twice Shot by, Johann Neitz.First Ac-j cused in Series of R.C.A.F/ War Crimes Trials.BY ROSS MUNRO Canadian Piv.ns Swiff Wrifer Aurich, Gcimamy, March 16\u2014 (CP Caibbeu)\u2014A 26-yeax-* of founded,\u201d he said in an address'closing them to a single nation, in his;If Soviet Russia still persists in 'putting pressure on Turkey, the for his services as Governor-Gen Ottawa, Senate yc> : : apport to an adc appreciation to t!

Indeed, Wenzl.au, who has told X that the message is from \u201cEierkopf,\u201d forgets to delete the signature at the bottom of the letter, which begins with \u201cMy dear Major\u201d and ends with \u201cYours very truly\u2014Onodera.\u201d In this letter, Onodera, alias \u201cEierkopf,\u201d reports upon his third; alias, \u201cDr.Emonotti,\u201d in the ap-i proved manner of the German | intelligence service.He describes himself as \u201cvery honest,\u201d and inspired only by \u201cpatriotic motives.\u201d Onodera reveals be previously worked in Ankara, but was forced to leave because of \u201canti-British he proceeded to Budapest and finally to Stockholm.Before parting from his bosom friend Klatt, Emonotti-Onodera promised him to \u201cbuild up a net-; work from Stockholm to the, United States.\u201d tain Kamaras in Lislbon (who also has a transmitter); and a man named Kovats in Madrid (who lacks similar equipment).Ferbcr in Barcelona obviously is the key man in the setup.He not only operates a radio» transmitter but also \u201ca lady of .Japanesc-Mexican stock, who will In fulfillment of this pledge, the! soon leave for America to work j there for Germany.\u201d NAMES SPANISH DIPLOMAT I Onodera\u2019s letter also involves a Spanish diplomat, identified only as \u201cPratt,\u201d whom the Jap general first met \u201cofficially\u201d in Turkey.\u201cA German liaison agent always worked with Pratt,\u201d he -writes, and he, Emonotti, alias Onodera, \u201cassisted Pratt and the German liaison agent in their work against Syria, Palestine and India.\u201d Later, Pratt was transferred to Finland, but went to Stockholm instead\u2014presumahly on account of the armistice between _ Finland and Russia concluded in September 1944.There Onodera \u201crecently resumed contact\u201d with him.I If there were any doubt left j about \u201cDr.Emonotti\u2019s real identity, it would be dispelled by two significant references to Japan in the letter.In one passage, Onodera writes that Emonotti \u201cin reward for his services\u201d in setting up the three-man ' spy network on the Iberian peninsula \u201cgets all information from Iberia for the Japanese intelligence service.\u201d In another, he refers to the \u201cGerman-Jap-anese friendship\u201d between Klatt and Emonotti.When the Jap master spy first turned up in Stockholm, the Germans there were none to pleased.They did not want any competition, not even from their allies.\u201cPandur\u201d found it advisable to investigate the Japanese thoroughly before dealing with him.This incident provides the best insight into the setup and working of the German espionage system.One of the teleprinter reports contains the following notice in reference to Emonotti-Onodera: | \u201cOn the occasion of Pandur\u2019s visit to the Stadhbuero, on January 8, E.(Emonotti) also had a talk there with our representative, who will thus be in a position to supply TO SWEDEN!
