Speedy Goering Trial
Reported Planned by:
War Crimes Group !.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, May 10.--Marshal
Hermann Goering will be brought
to trial soon, probably before a.
high tribunal made up of rep
resentatives of the Western Al
lies and Russia, a responsible
source close to the United Ma
tions War Crimes Commission
said today. Goering surrendered
to American forces Tuesday
night.
This source said Goering's report
OF a split with Hitler would make
no difference in his treatment and,
that his case would fall into the
category of those against whom
more than one nation has a claim.
The final decision on the forna-
ton Of tribunal to try such cases
as Goerings was laid aside before
the San Francisco Conference con-
yened until the next meeting of the
foreign ministers of Britain, the
United States and Russia.
Since then, however, Anthony
Eden, V. M. Molotov and Secretary
OF State Stettinius have had an op-
portunity to discuss the issue at
San Francisco.
Meanwhile, it was learned here
that the War Crimes Commission
has been discussing the ACCESSIBILITY.
OF making public list of those re-
garded as war criminals. No de-
cision has been reached and so far.
the commission has refused to say
even how long the list is.
The status of Rudolf Hess also re-
manned uncertain. The War Office
would say only that he was prison.
er of war.
Goering was flown to Gen. Alex
ander M. Patch's United States It'll
Army headquarters yesterday after
Isurrendering near Kutzbuehel, Aus
tria, with his wife and 6-year-old
daughter.

'WPB 10 Release Steel
Copper and Aluminium
For Civilians July |
BY the Associated Press.

~ Lie hSoOSiALeu FTfsss
The Government has decided
to open up steel, copper and
aluminium supplies to civilian
goods manufacturers on July /.
This decision, reported today by
officials In q position to know, is
scheduled for early announcement
by the War Production Board. 1t
follows the shift from two to one
front warfare. 1t was learned also
that most of the remaining restric-
tions on production of consumer
hard goods" such as radios, wash
ing machines and vacuum cleaners.
will be lifted shortly. Only those
covering such products as automo-
biles. trucks and stoves will be
retained for time until material
supplies are moving more freely.
Even in the case Of these items,
however, control orders will be
amended to permit some production.
To Drop Half Of Regulations.
About 10 restrictive regulations
already have been revoked, and
WPB expects that about half the
total Of 420 will be on the shelf
shortly.
The relaxation of restrictions on
consumer goods production follows
the easing of other controls an
nounced yesterday by War Mobiliza-
ton Director Fred M. Vinson, who
wiped out the ban on horse racing
and the midnight entertainment
curfew, and promised a slight in
crease in the gas ration of A card
holders.
Mr.. Vinson also emphasized, how
ever, that wage and price controls
must remain while there is still a
war to be fought, and that food ra-
tioning will continue.
The WPB opened the way, mean
while, for manufacturers to build I'D
public demand for their. new auto
mobiles, refrigerators, washing ma
chimes and other products by per-
hitting public exhibition of postwar
models.
Set Policy Tomorrow.
oliSC ldSG SullllIleT plants nave
been permitted to spend $1,000 a
month on experimental models, but
were strictly forbidden to show
them publicly.
OPA prepared to announce to-
morrow its policy for holding down
prices on the new goods soon to re-
enter the market for the first time in
three years.
Mr.. Vinson said yesterday that as
a matter of general policy prices
will be held to the levels of 1912,
those at which the last prewar
durable goods left the market.
Manufacturers can put such price
tags on their output without any
application to the Government.

Ribbentrop Aide Silent

Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop left Berlin early in
April for an unannounced destina-
ton, Werner Won Schmieden, his
privy counsellor, said today at Rib
bentrop's palatial summer home on
Fuschl Lake.
Won Schmieden, now under "pro-
tective custody" by the American

knew where his chief had gone and
would not tell
He guided newspapermen through

Ribbentrop, former champagne

of the simple life than Hitler,
judging by his homes. Ribben-
trop's Fuschl Tower has a beautiful
mountain lake view, with Alpine
scenery.

AS a million happy Russians

throwers that the last great strong
hold of Nazidom fell.
Tiergarten Badly Damaged.
Somewhere amid this underground
labyrinth of ruins, his body charred
beyond real recognition by flame
throwers, Adolf Hitler probably met
his death. The Russians believe
he might have been killed before
hand by the people around him. But
the flames that finally swept
through the subterranean passages
probably destroyed forever any def
mite evidence of how the Nazi leader
was wiped out.
Today, more than q week after
the capitulation of Berlin, I was
able to see something of the horror
Of the greatest street-to-street and
house-to-house battle since Stain
grad.
The Tiergarten-Berlin central
park or Hyde Park-was held
through days of desperate fighting
by SIS troops. Before l941 I used
often to stroll through it on sum-
mer evenings. 1t was probably one
of the most beautiful parks in any
capital city in the world. Today il
locks like the Argonne or Belleau
Wood or Paschendaele. It's fine trees
have been swept bare of leaves by
a day's-long tornado of shellfire
and broken branches litter the
ground everywhere, The ground is
smoke -blackened and torn by deep
trenches and antitank bitches.
Cavity in Big Shelter.
At the western end of the Tier
garten, near the wrecked Zoo Sta
ton, still stand the badly battered
large flax towers, built by the Nazis
in 1910 and used also as air-raid
shelters. They originally were white
but since left Berlin in 1941 they
have been covered with camouf1age
paint. Apparently the Nazis used
these also as part of the defenses
of their central Berlin fortress.
The towers, whose concrete walls
are Is feet thick, are battered and
blasted by bombing and shellfire
but are still standing. One of the
heavy 135-millimeter fax guns
which the Luftwaffe mounted on tor
of the towers in 1941 is still there
a torn and twisted tangle of metal.
The great afraid shelter under
the Chancellery, where Hitler made
his last headquarters, can be seer
from above through an immense
cavity torn in it by blockbustel
from an American bomber early thi!
year. 1t was considered SO safe al
the time it was built that during The
early Raj Berlin raids in 1940-4l il
was used as a refuge for mothers
land young children. Any children
born there automatically had Hitler
as godfather.
The "bomb-proof" shelter and the
ReichSchancellery above 1t and the
whole Of the heart of Berlin are ir.
Irevocably destroyed today. With
them went the last Of Hitler's
dreams Of a thousand years Reich.

years and 101a months of unprece-
denied struggle and climaxed a
two-year march from Stalingrad to
Berlin 800 miles of fighting.
