STENAY, France-Capt. Franz
Won Papen, son of the. former Ger
man chancellor who later became
Hitler's top diplomat. has written
to Gen. Eisenhower asking that he
be permitted to plead his fathers
case at the forthcoming war GRIM
inal trials.
On a hospital cot hree, Capt Won
Papen told of plans for making
plea at Nuremberg.
The captain was student in the
school of foreign service at George
town University in Washington, in
1880, on an exchange scholarship.
He did not graduate from the in
stitution. He speaks English flu
entity and in a cultured style.
Please forgive me for not rising ,
he apologized while attempting to
bow from the waist under a GI
blanket as he was being interviewed.
Will Be Unusual Case.
MY father will be acquitted if
given a fair trial." he said. How
can a man who occupied a political
position 10 years before the war be
held responsible for something
which happened 10 years later?
But it will, be, an unusual case,
There is no precedent in law TO 60,
by in q judgment Of this sort.
/ Capt Won Papen's defense will
be based on his fathers political
records which he hopes to find
among the foreign office files re-
moved from Berlin before the worst
of the bombings.
These will show that my father
always worked for peace" he says.
He was not member of the Nazi
party and had many quarrels with
Hitler, one over the entrance of
Germany into the war with Russia,
another over the peace terms with
France and the acquisition of
French territory.
! Yes, I know that he was active
in Turkey toward the end of the
war, but he went there mainly to
keep in touch with the other pow
ers and try to bring about peace. A
man could not express himself in
Germany at that time.
He had considerable influence or
Hitler and I believe If it had moi
been for this the Nazi Army woulc

Won Papen agreed to 60 to Austris
as ambassador after Chancellor
Dollfuss was murdered and civi
war seemed imminent only on con.
dition that violence would not b.
used, according to his son. Austris
and Germany should be united, hi
believed Austria had been existing
only by means of foreign loans since
the last war But he wanted thu
coalition ito be allowed to come BY
itself" He was recalled by Hitler
a month before the Anschluss ir

all students wishing to attend
them"
This committee was appointed at

ents at nearby Tyler park a week
ago Tuesday, the day after the

ing, some parents asked the stu
dents to return to their classes but
the majority urged them to remain
away until some action is taken by

pointed delegations to visit lily
