Nuremberg, oct. Gap Bull
necked, lugubrious DR.. Robert Ley,
one-time luxury loving chief OF Hit
ler's labor front, hanged himself In
his cell last night at the Nuremberg
jail, where he was awaiting trial
as a war criminal.
His suicide may mean major
changes In preparations for the
trial Of the 22 other leading Nazis
incarcerated there. With the open
ing of the trial just "a days away.
Legs death was believed to exclude
the use OF certain documents with
high value as evidence, pertaining
only to the ex-labor boss.
Ley was pronounced dead at $40
p. m. (2:l0 p. m, EST last night,
after efforts to revive him failed.
The official announcement, issued
by Prison Commandant Col. c. b.
Andrus of Denver, Col, said the
body wa discovered by a sentinel
who became suspicious when Ley
remained seated motionless In his
cell fcr more than two minutes.

Legs death. His body was remov-
ed to the prison morgue.
Ley was indicted Oct. is with 20
other defendants. One OF them,
Deputy Fuehrer Martin Bormann,
will be tried IN absentis. His
whereabouts are unknown and he
is believed to be dead.
The leader OF the Labor Bund
which operated under the slogan
strength through joy, showed no
emotion when he was served with
the indictment in the bare prison
cell. He requested counsel.
The indictment charged him on
three counts-promoting the acces-
sion Il power OF the Maxi conspira-
tors; war crimes, and crimes
against humanity.
Ley was captured by the L. s.
10lst Airborne Division near Berch-
tesga den, and he gave his name as
"Dr. Ernest Distelmeyer". When
L. S. counter-intelligence officers
tried TO question him. he produced
a vial aud attempted to swallow It's
contents. The officers knocked the
vial from his hands.
He was identified at Division
Headquarters by Frank X. Schwarz,
Maxi party treasurer, and others.
A fanticaI Nazi, Ley rose from
the party ranks TO a position of
power as a Hitler lieutenant. He
controlled IS per cent OF all the
gainfully employed persons in the
Reich
In his capacity as labor chief Ley
obliterated labor unions ruthless
ly. and told all union members ex-
cept Jews they were automatically
members of the labor front. Those
who protested either were killed or
thrown into concentration camps.

US, Russian
Relations Are
Improving

Washington, Oct. 26-AP-Rela-
tions between the United States
and Russia seemed on the mend to-
day In an atmosphere OF better I'M
derstanding.
These we're the heartening de-
velopments:
State Department disclosure that
the two governments were discuss
ing the Soviet proposal for four
power council (U. s.. Russia, Brit
ain, China) to govern Japan.
Indications Russia would agree
that when differences arose in the
council, the L. S. position should
govern.
Timely delivery of Russia's Unit
ed Nations ratification documents.
which permitted the world security
organization to become fact We'd
nesday.
Announcement yesterday Of the
continuing four-power council dis
cussions climaxed a day In which
government officials and newsmen
debated this question:
When Foreign Commissar Molo-
tov first proposed the council for
Japan, did he mean one like that
set up to govern German. or one
like those established TO admins
ter former German satellite nations
such as Hungary and Romania?
On the Berlin council. four Allies
have equal authority. All decisions
must be unanimous.
On the Balkan commissions, the
U. s. and Britain have equal rep
resentation with Russia. but in the
event of conflicting views the So
Wet position governs.
The u. S. would not agree to a
Berlin-type council for Japan. or
ficials say the problem OF govern
ing the Japanese home islands is
entirely different.
