ALLIES PUSHING
PLANS FOR TRIAL.
BY RICHARD KASISCHKE

NUREMBERG, Aug. 30.-th-
In the bomb-blasted heart of this
one-time shoWplace OF Nazidom
they are working feverishly to pre-
pare the stage for one of the
greatest dramas in history - the
trial of Nazi arch war criminals
before an international military
tribunal.
1t would be a task in any city
anywhere to prepare for the in
flux of an estimated 1000 people
from two hemispheres to partici-
pate in and record the trials which
will last weeks, perhaps months.
In Nuernberg-in whose waste of
stone an intact building is an ex-
ception and where food and fuel
are short-the job is herculean.
T h chief defendants, Hermann
Goering, Joachim Won Ribben-
trop, Franz Won Pappen already
are on hand. Other top ranking
survivors of Hitler's new order as
sembled here for the trial include
Marshal Wilhelm Keitel and Col.
Gen. Alfred Jodl of Hitler's gen.
eral staff, Jew-baiter Julius
Streicher, Kurt Daluege, former
gestapo chief; Robert Ley, the
labor front leader; Wilhelm Prick.
former minister of the interior.
With them are Alfred Rosen-
berg, tn Nazi 'philosopher;''
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-08-31

Walter Buch, who headed the Nazi
courts; Arthur Seyss 1nquart and
Hans Frank, gauleiters for Hol-
land and Poland, and Hans Lam
mers, former state secretary in
Hitler's cabinet. All are held in
solitary confinement.
When the trials begin, probably
early in October, the world spot
light will be on two buildings-the
city jail where the prisoners are
Kept and the adjacent palace of
justice where they will be tried.
The prisoners know where they
VIII sleep and eat, but for the
judges, prosecutors, interpreters
and Army correspondents shelter
and food will be acute concerns.
The third floor courtroom is be-
ing enlarged by knocking out
wall to combine it with smaller
adjoining chamber to make
room 80 by 40 feet. A steel balcony
Planned over one end will give the
chamber totaFcapacity of about
500 persons.
There will be four judges and
four alternates representing the
United States, Britain, Russia and
France who will sit across the
eastern end of the room; % prose
cutors, eight interpreters, eigh4
clerks of court, go defendants and
defense counsel, and $50 CORE
spondents, photographers and doc
umentarians. That leaves room
for less than $50 distinguished Wis
itors and the public.
