4 WAR VICTIMS — AND UNCLE SAM
NEW YORK—(AP) — Ghosts
have no daylight voices.
And so there is no way to say
what ghosts were present in the
crowds that last week -attended
one of the weirdest auctions in
history.
It was a sale that reversed the
dictum that in war the spoils be
long to the victors. It was a sale
to see that some of the spoils of
the Second World War went to
the victims.
Up for Auction was a small
portion of many tons of Nazi
Loot seized in Germany and
Austria and brought here. It will
be sold over a period of months
and the proceeds used to reset
tle and rehabilitate European
displaced persons.
The first batch of loot put on
the block last week contained
828 lots and brought $188,435.
This was 20 percent more than
its value as, estimated in ad
vance.
It consisted of jewelry, expen
sive household wares and artis
tic bric-a-brac that couldn’t be
identified and returned to the !
original owners. l
Many long since had been put |
to death in the gas pits at Da-‘
chau and robbed even of the |
gold in their teeth. Others had
passed through the one-way |
portals of the concentration |
camp at Buchenwald, the earthly
hell where Nazi guards greeted
incoming prisoners with the
macabre jest:
“Abandon all hope ye who!
enter here.” l
' The Nazi booty was brought
‘here because this is the only
‘land with cash to pay for it—
lcash to help the rootless victims
of distress still encamped in
Germany.
In the minds of successful bid
ders as the auctioneer’s hammer
crashed down to end each sale’
there must have been a wonder.
Whom had the piece he just'
bought belonged to? What wo
man in what country had linger
ed after dinner under the soft
light shed by “lot 260, two pairs
of repousse silfer candlesticks?”
Did she worry that her prized
candlesticks had ‘“some imper
fections”—as ‘the sale catalog
bluntly said?
What wealthy housewife had
lived in terror that some guest
would chip a plate in her 24-
piece Herend porcelain table
service? It sold here for §1,300.
What kind of tablew: e she
eat off in her own last hours? At
Buchenwald There was only a
bowl.
Who had toasted whom for
what vanished moments of per
sonal good fortune in the six
teen tinted glass hocks of “Lot
2”? New people in a country an
ocean away now will drink wine
from them.
Behind each lot as it came up
was a story of some forgotten
hour or lifetime of pleasure.
Perhaps many lifetimes—for a
'large number of the items were
‘antique. But those stories will
never be known. Nothing is as
‘anonymous as the treasures of
broken households put up at
auction in a strange place under
the eyes of impersonal buyers.
The polished silver showed no
reflection of the happiness it
brought to other owners in an
other day. Nor did it reflect the
panic fear that came with the
midnight knock of the Nazi at
the door.
In the biggest sale of the week
one man paid $4,350 for four
snuff boxes. These trinkets of
an elder day must have been the
joy of some old-world -collec-

MAN IN DOGHOUSE
GETS RENT CUT
LONDON — (AP) — A lodger
had his rent cut in half on a
claim he lived continually in a
doghouse. He protested to an East
London tribunal that he had
been ordered to pack up and push
off because the landlord’s dog
didn’t like him.
Michael Marcus, tribunal chair
man, harked back to ancient his
tory for his judgment: “The Ro
man emperor Caligula once ap
pointed his horse to the exalted
office of pro-consul. This land
‘rrd emulates Caligula by relying
on the advice of his dog when
decided whether he should evict
tenants. We are still governed by
laws resulting from Parliamenta

The verdict: a reduction from
30 shillings ($6) a week, to 15
shillings ($3).
