.Nazis Freely
Aid in Trial

Nuremberg, Sept. 22-AP- AT
least eight special interrogation
rooms are being kept in steady use
here every day by allied prosecu-
ton staffs engaged in gathering
great masses of evidence for the
war crimes trial OF two dozen top
Nazi figures.
Justice Robert II. Jackson, L. S.
prosecutor. said the prisoners are
not being subjected to amy misuse
or indignity." and are free TO choose
their own defense counsel.
American interrogators, headed
by Col. John Harlan Amen, have
found that Nazi prisoners and wit
nesses alike appear to enjoy being
questioned. Some go back TO their
cells and write letters telling about
things they had forgotten to men
tion.
The prisoners are brought TO
Nuernberg's bomb-battered hall OF
justice from their cells in the near
by jail. They come through a
newly-built outdoor corridor con
structed of tight-fitting boards and
covered with roofing paper, and
climb a private, guard-lined stair
way to the hallway guarded by
heavily armed doughboys Of the
special security force. The inter.
rogators' rooms are draped with
heavy cloth and are specially sound
proofed.
Outside each interrogation room
door is an electric alarm. The
rules governing admission to the
rooms during interrogations is so
strict that Amen himself once was
kept out by tough doughbOy
guard.
Justice Jackson said $50 Nazi
documents essential to the pTosecu-
ton still are to be translated, end
his office Is feeling the pinch of a
shortage of topnotoch translators.

the nazis and the Japanese as gull

The document issued by the guild
defines a war crime as "a violation
Of the positive laws of warfare
that is, of the specific rules which
civilized nations have generally
recognized as governing the con-
duct of war The rules are clear
cut and specific; they forbid the
killing of surrendered soldiers, the
torture Of prisoners of war, pillage,
the deliberate killing of innocent
civilians, the seizure of women for
soldiers brothels, and similar
atrocities"
The war criminals, according to
the guild, are "the most aggressive
and dangerous groups of Nazi and
Japanese militarism; as long as
they are permitted freedom they
will constitute a threat to the Sc
curity of the world and source
of disunity among the United Ma
tions."
