Many Jailed German War Criminals
Profess Ne1v Interest In RELIGION

, NUREMBERG, Sept. 1. -P)-
About half of the Nazi leaders held
here for war crimes trials are pro-
Tossing an interest in religion, the
Army said today in disclosing new
details of their prison life.
/ Hitler's henchmen have Bibles
in their cells, many of them say
long prayers, and they keep United
States Army chaplains busy hold
ing church services.
But almost to a man, according
to Col. Burton Andrus of Denver,
Colo, head jailer, the prisoners
still revere Hitler, and to anybody
who will listen, they describe him
as a hero who "fell leading his
people in the struggle"
"When we first asked the pris-
oners what their religious require
ments were, half Immediately turn
ed down our offer fatty, saying
they had no church," Andrus said.
But recently, at least half took
it up, and now United States Army
chaplains visit them and hold mass
and protestant services in the cell
blocks. All are permitted Bibles"
Andrus said the most avid Bible
reader and church-goer was DR..
Hans Frank, now awaiting trial for
numerous atrocities committed dur
ing his rule as overload of Poland.
Until lately, Frank had been a
problem case ever since the day he
arrived in captivity, an ungainly
and sweaty man wearing only a
pair Of silk panties. He tried to
commit suicide, but botched the
job, underwent mental treatment,
and took up religion.
Now he is apparently very peni-
tent" and wants to help other pris-
oners, the colonel said.
In addition to Bibles, the prison
ers have access to a small library
filled with religious tracts and
novels, such as the late Harold Bell
Wright's "the winning of Barbara
WORTH
Andrus said not all prisoners pa
tronized the library. Some of fem
prefer to write their memoirs, US
ing writing materials available at
the jail.
Not all of them are repentant.
For example, said Andrus, Julius
Streicher, one-time head Jew-bait-
err for Hitler, remains defiant.
"You probably will hang me for
what I have done to the Jews, but
some day America and England
will realize was right" Andrus
quoted Streicher.
Adm. Nicholas Horthy, former
Hungarian regent, was described
by Andrus as ''the only sassy devil
in the lot" Horthy is not now in
Andrus' custody, but when he was
held in Luxembourg where the
Nazi leaders previously were con-
fined, he objected when guards took
anti-suicide precautions - such as
removing prisoners belts and shoe.
