Wise said was planned to exterminate all Jews in nazi eccupied Europe by the end of the year are being laid before a com-| mittee of leading Jewish organizations today in New York. The story, which Dr. Wise said | was confirmed by the state department and a personal representative of President Roosevelt,| deals with how more than 2,000,-| 000 Jews who have been slaughtcred in accordance with A race extermination order by Adolf Hitler. Before leaving for New York to address the committee this afternoon Dr. Wise, chairman of the World Jewish Congress and presi-| dent of the American Jewish Congress, said he carried official documentary proof that "Hitler has ordered the extermination of all Jews in nazi-ruled Europe in 1942." After a consultation with state department officials he announced they had termed authentic certain sources which revealed that ap-| proximately half of an estimated 4,000,000 Jews in nazi-occupied Europe already had been killed and that Hitler was wrathful at "failure to complete the extermination immediately." To speed the slaughter of the other half during the remaining months before the edict deadline Dr. Wise said the nazis moved some of the four-fifths of the Jews in Hitler-ruled European countries to Poland where he said nazi doctors were killing them at the rate of "more than 100 men an hour per doctor" by injecting air bubbles into their veins -"the simplest and cheapest method" they could find.
