 Limited Press Stan Correspondent
 Nuremberg, oct. ie-tUPt Reich, marshal Hermann ooering sat calm. ly in his cell today and for one-hali holr discussed the old Testament with a 2e-year old Lutheran chap- lain from the United states.
 "He was deliberate, sober, uneno- tlonal and not at all the jovlal man who have read about" said It, carl Eggers, former pastor of the Hope Lutheran church. Tonasket, Wash.
 "He apparently has spent lots Of time studying the scriptures and can quote them at length. He seems particularly interested in the Oid Testament from the standpoint Of Jewish history" Eggers said. Nineteen high Naxis awaiting trial for war crimes here are permitted weekly visit from Eggers or Cath ollie chaplain Capt. Sixtus OUon- nor, oxford, N. Y.
 Many of the former Naxl leaders show an increasing interest in re ligion. Ernst Kaltenbrunner, who. directed Oestapo and concentration camps is reading "Jesus Christ," by Karl Adam.
 He has argued ct length with OConnor that the Catholic church would remain out of politics.
 Former Foreign Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop told Eggers the Nazi attitude toward the church wa& one of "the gravest mistAkes" ot the Hitler regime.
 O'Connor has said Mass three times by request in the cell of wily old Franz Won Papen, 0ermanyS ace diplomatic schooner.
 "f've no reason to believe von Papen is other than c most devoted Catholic, aS is Hans Frank" O'Con- nor said.
 Frank, the former dauleiter of oc- cupled Poland, told O'Con1or ne was just c figure head and his asl- thority was stripped from ham be- cause he objected to the 'destructicn of Justice"
