NUREMBERG. Nov. 2O.-Relief
was evident in the criminal wing
of the Nuremberg Jail last night as
word reached the Nazi arch-crimi-
mails that the time had come for
them to explain to humanity, II
they could, how and why they acted
that way.
Hermann Wilhelm Goering, No. 2
Nazi and former Luftwaffe chief,
sat happily on the side of his bunk.
He had just received word that his
5-year-old daughter. Eta, had been
reunited with his wife who has been
under technical house arrest in
Bavaria for the last seven weeks.
That takes care of my last
worry" said the big Nazi. Il 60
into this trial as always went into
battle--eagerly."
A few steps away Rudolf Hess,
who has been an enigma since he
flew to Scotland in borrowed
Messerschmitt four years ago,
smiled wanly and commented. I'm
glad for the others. AS for me, I'm
different from most people in not
taking life so seriously"
Erich Raeder, grand admiral and
former navy chief, who spent the
first part of his captivity in Russian
hands and reached Nuremberg sing
ing the praises Of his captors
turned at once to practical matters
"If my laundry doesn't come III

Conscience Clear.
A nervous Fritz Sauckel. "SS

Arthur Seyss- -Inquart, former Naz
chancellor OF Austria and later
commissar for the Netherlands, sat
hunched over his trial defense
notes. He glances up with a wolfish
grin.
After the catastrophe and the
defeat we've been through l can't
think OF single thing that could
possibly be less interesting or more
unimportant than what happens to
me- he said.
Hans Frank. former Nazi governor
Of Polish territories, seemed clumsi-
ly grateful for the visit. He was
very near hysteria. but held himself

The rest of the defendants merely
looked bored.
Hess, toward the end of the morn
ing session, started long and ami
mated conversation with Ribben-
trop. Goering, sitting next to them,
ignored both.
The defendants exhibited their
greatest Solemnity while a portion
of the indictment was read describ-
ing the murder of millions of Nazi
victims in Europe
Even Hans Frank, whom the
Poles called the Butcher" while he
was ruling their land. sat with his
chin resting on his chest and with
his earphones clasped to his ears
Earlier he had smiled frequently
while gazing around the courtroom
Among those attending the OPEN
ing session were 1t. Gen. Lucian
K. T1uscott, commander of the Sd
Army, and Senator Claude Pepper
Democrat, of Florida.
UOciIns appetite hcen.
During the recess for lunch. the
defendants remained in the court
and ate heartily from American
Army messkits. Goering's appetite
was particularly keen.
When the court was cleared. the
Nazis leaped up and began shaking
hands with each other enthusiastic
ally. Though many had occupied
adjoining cells for months. solitary
confinement had restricted their
conversations and many were able
to exchange words for the first time
since reaching Nuremberg.
DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, former
Reichsbank president, engaged Al

duction, in lively banter, comment
ing:

Third Count Completed.
Early in the afternoon session the
French completed reading the third
count of the indictment, recounting
Nazi conscription of foreign labor,
brutal Germanization of occupied
territories. the killing of hostages
and the plunder of public and pri-
vate properties.
The deputy Soviet prosecutor then
started reading the fourth count

The Red Army colonel, in khaki
tunic and blue trousers, spoke with
a classroom singsong into the micro
phone
Doenitz, his craggy face impassive,
was the only Nazi who seemed to
remain entirely oblivious to the
Russian prosecutor. The charges
in his case concern activities on the
high seas against the Western Allies.

pendix A, stipulating individual
crimes charged to the defendants.
Goering shook his head negatively
and smiled wanly when Mr.. Alder

power of the Nazi conspira tors and

Hess. when named. sucked in his

muttered. Afterward he seemed to
be almost smiling. His deep-sock-
eted eyes glittered under black
shaggy brows.
Bormann'S misdeeds were read
out, although he has been missing
since the battle of Berlin.
The American prosecutor also
read charges against Robert Ley,
the Nazi labor chief, who hanged
himself in the Palace of Justice

Germany had blundered by perse-
cutting the Jews.

Krupp from the indictment list last

allegations of his transgressions
The aged munitions and steel mag

Mr.. Alderman finished Appendix
A, and without pause read Appendix

establish the criminality of the Nazi
governmental, political. police and
quasi military organizations to-

At Mr.. Alderman's mention of
anti-Jewish fulminations during the
prewar period by Rosenberg, that
defendant hurriedly replaced his
earphones. Julius Streicher, No. l
Nazi jew batter, sat bolt upright
when he was named in the indict-
ment.
Goering nodded with emphasis
when the prosecutor recalled his
announcement of 10 years ago that
Germany was building military air
force.
Finish of First Count.
Mr.. Alderman concluded the read
ing of the f1rst count of the indict-
ment with these words:
The defendants with divers other
persons are guilty of common plan
of conspiracy for accomplishment
of crimes against peace-against
humanity-war crimes not only
against armed forces of their en-
emles but also against nonbelliger-
ent civilian populations.

the five paragraphs of count 3
titled Grimes Against Peace"-the
court recessed for Is minutes.
Through the reading of the
counts Arthur Seyss-Inquart. Hit
ler's trigger man in the 1888 seizure
of Austria, stared blankly through
thick lensed spectacles as his role in
the Nazi prewaI schemlng for power
was unfolded.
A German attorney disclosed that
Goering's counsel, on behalf of the
entire defense group, intended to
offer joint declaration challenging
the jurisdiction of the international
court. This was expected after the
indictment reading was completed
and the defendants had entered
pleas.
Goering persisted in outgesturing
his Nazi cronies and in retaining the
Courtroom's interest. He leaned for
ward to kibitz over the shoulder of
German lawyer.
When Dubost started reading
the third count of the marathon
indictment, the former reichsmar-
shal was having trouble with his
earphones. Finally he took them off

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

The first information to come out of
Moscow reveals that the American habit
OF advancing to point from which,
later, to retreat, has become a pattern.
AVery conference opens with, or is pre-
coded by, fat accompli by the Soviet
Union, and the conference then makes
it Big Three policy.
Now we learn from our State Depart
ment that we shall recognize the gov
eminent" of Yugoslavia.
At the end of October, we, along with
Great Britain and the Soviets, called
Marshal Tito's attention to the provi-
sions Of Yalta as they affected the 'telec-
tiors he had scheduled for November
1l,+and advising postponing them until
conference.-the conditions could be estab-
lished. Tito called them anyhow, and
the Soviet supported his decision.
What happened was the regular totali-.
tartan piebiscite list only, one prop
uganda only disfranchisement of "fas-
cist collaborators, new slogan to de-
scribe all opposition; police terror and
packing of the plebiscite by extending
the vote to all who had fought in the
resistance" which included youngsters of
u to II (the voting age is 49,.
Unable to register their protest, thou
sands of Yugoslavs absented themselves,
risky thing to do, because in the new
democracy" silence is not regarded as
consent, but as inviting visit from the
political police
The United States withheld recogni-
tion-as from Bulgaria-and now from
Moscow rescinds. Nonrecognition is
weak reed of policy anyhow, but pretty
soon Washington's diplomatic corps
with its privileges, will at this rate be
packed with Soviet agents.
Our government knows all about the
Tito regime. Not only is it monstrous
dictatorship, exercising monstrous ter
ror, but its despot is Soviet Quisling.
Tito appeared in Yugoslavia to fight for
"his country" only after Russia entered
the war. He was member of the Rus
sian military intelligence. Numbers of
experienced, objective correspondents
have been in Yugoslavia, and all report
privately, and some publicly. that Tito
has not more than a small minority Of
popular support.
But it Is doubtful whether Tito's role
is even theological" He is in Yugoslavia
to hold an important strategical front
for the Soviet's expanding empire. Yugo-
slavia is essential to pressure on Turkey
which was saved from the Germans
by the Yugoslav rising, in which Tito, at
that moment. was entirely disinterested
So is Iran essential, and the Soviet
agents who are "liberating" Azerbaijan
are in the same game.
In playing this game, the question of
former "collaborationists" is inconse-
quential. The realistic" definition of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-12-26

since Socialism became popular in Eng
land, naturalization cannot stop with
a single industry. One industry de-
pends on another, and so the process
OF naturalization, once started goes
on and on.
1t is now fairly generally recognized
that the Potsdam plans for reparations
and control are inefficient and clumsy,
Manufacturing equipment removed now
can be replaced. Occupation is not the
lasting answer, since its utmost limits
will be under 10 years.
German industry, in'whole or in part,
need not be nationalized. Private en-
terprise should be permitted, to a de-
gree. But there might and should be
created German Manufacturing Au-
thority," which would be partner, not
the sole owner, of every industrial en-
terprise employing more than few en-
ployes. This authority, controlled by
the present occupying nations and such
others as are directly interested, should
have full power of inspection, of men,
bership on boards of directors and some
sort of veto on activities which might
breed war. Preparations might be
handled through shares of profits
coming through such partnership.
Sufficient control could be exercised
over long period, while within indus
try itself there could be room for pri-
vate capital and management to OPP
crate. This form of control would thus
avoid the dead hand of nationalist
ton, keep a watch over rearmament
and offer German initiative a chance
to rebuild legitimate prosperity.

is forgotten and forgiven.
Thus, it will interest those who think
that Tito is anti-Fascist, to know that

A Hazardous Risk

At 1890 o'clock yesterday morning
all commercial flying at Washington
National Airport and in this part of
the country was stopped. CONNER
cial flying was not resumed until
early today. The weather made 1t
too dangerous to fly.
But an hour and half after COM
mercial planes were grounded, the
Sacred Cow, bearing the President
of the United States and his party
took off from the airport for ST.
Louis apd Kansas City. The trip
was completed in five hours and
forty-nine minutes, under hazardous
flying conditions, and for this the
Presidents countrymen are thankful.
But the trip was a dangerous risk
The President should not have
attempted it and the Air Transport
Command should not have per-
mitted it. The C-54 Sacred Cow is
one of the safest of all airplanes,
and it is flown by one of the most
skilled of pilots. Yet the carefully
calculated risk of the Presidents
trip was unnecessary, presenting a
hazard which should have been
automatically ruled out without
regard to the personal inclinations
of Mr.. Truman.
It is to be hoped that whenever
conditions permit it, the President
will always take every opportunity
to get away from the burdens and
the atmosphere of his office at the
White House, to spend what time
he can in surroundings that are so
dear to him. But the flight he made
yesterday should be the last de-
liberate gamble of the sort. The
example he set was bad one, in
so-far as safe flying is concerned,
and the life that was risked was
the life of the President of the
United States.
