Court UphoIds Right
To Try Seven Nazis for
Killing 400 Slaves
Ey the Associated prsrs.

WIESBADEN, Oct. 8.-In a
far-reaching decision, an Amer
lean military court today upheld
the right of the United States to
try German civilians under in
ternational law for crimes COM
mitted against other Allied ma
tionalS-even before the occupa-
ton of Germany.
The ruling came as seven Ger
mans-six men and one woman
appeared as defendants in the first
mass atrocity trial in the American
zone. They are charged with kill
ing more than 400 Russians and
Polish slave laborers and women
and children at the Hadamar "mur-
der factory"
Courts Authority Challenged.
Asking for dismissal, the Ameri-
can Army defense counsel chal-
lenged the authority of the court on
the ground the crimes were COM
mitted before the occupation of
Germany, that Poland at the time
was a conquered nation and subject
to German law and that the Rus
slams were not protected under in
ternational law, since they were not
signers of the Geneva Convention.
Col. Leon Jaworski of Houston,
Tex, in charge of the prosecution,
was upheld after he warned that
international law would become an
empty Shell-a meaningless fiction"
if the charges were dismissed.
The prosecution cited The Hague
Convention of 1907 to which both
Russia and Germany were sigma
tories.
All Plead Not Guilty.
In heated challenge the defense
declared the prosecution argument
very good from moral standpoint
but legally no good" 1t contended
the court, in upholding the charges,
would be establishing new law"
The defendants, all of whom
pleaded innocent, sat stolidly, show
ing little facial expression, as pro-
ceedings opened in the courtroom
crowded with German civilians.
Lord Wright, chairman of the
United Nations War Crimes Com
mission, was in the front row with
Gen. EiSeIhower's deputy, Maj Gen.
H. r. Bull. Russian and Polish mil
itary observers also were present.
Only Bodies Came Out.
A German nurse at the Hadamar
hospital, testifying as the first wit
ness, asserted that "only bodies came
out" of the asylum which the pro-
secution has described as a murder
factory.
= Nurse Minna Zachow said German
mental patients at Hadamar were
given poisonous tablets and, if they
survived, were given poisonous in
jections, she said.
Col. JaworSki said he would prove
that none of the Russian or Polish
victims were suffering from mental
disturbances.
These people, he said, were mur-
dered within few hours after arriv-
ing at Hadamar. and their bodies
stacked in the cellar until common
graves were dug for 30 or 40 victims
at time.

Text of Trumon's Speech
US. Cannot Permit Another War and All
Must Cooperate in Peace, President Says

{ history of the world was made
the development of atomic power.
Force Can Be Great Boon.
That discovery was used in the
last war effort against Japan, and
| the effect of that atomic bomb is
too terrible for contemplation. But
we have only begun on the atomic
energy program. That great force,
if properly used by this country
of ours and by the world at large,
can become the greatest boon that
humanity has ever had.
It can create a world which. in
my opinion. will be the happiest
world that the sun has ever shone
upon.
Now I am reminding you of all
these things which have taken place
in the last short six months to
impress upon you the terrible re-
sponsibilities of the President of
the United States. The President
of the United States is your Presi-
dent. I am telling you just what
his responsibilities are, because you
are my friends, and I think you
understand the difficulties which !
face.
Now. it is just as necessary to
have the cooperation of every
branch and every member Of every
part OF the Government of the
United States. from the constable in
this township to the president of
; the Senate.
| We must have that cooperation.
We must go forward. We are going
! forward.
We understand that the road to
peace is Just as difficult and may be
more difficult as was the road to
victory during the war. And the
reason for that difficulty is that we
all distinctly understand that after
every war. there's bound to be a
letdown. There is bound to be a
change of attitude.
There is bound to be a great many
Of us who say "Oh, well, I don't have
to work any more. I don't have to
take any interest in the welfare OF
my government any more"
Must Cooperate as Never Before.
i We can't have that attitude. We
must cooperate now as we never
have before in the history of the
country. We have the Greatest pro-
duction machine that the world has
ever seen. We conclusively proved
that free government is the most
efficient government in every emer.
gency.
We conclusively proved that by oul
victory over Germany and Italy ane
Japan and their allies.
In order to prove to the world thai
our reconversion program can be
handled Just as efficiently, and thai
our tremendous production machine
: can be operated for peace as we'll az
war, we must all get in and push.

the world but plain understanding
among ourselves. That requires the

CIVILIANS AT WAR

The Government needs and asks
its citizens in the 1S6th week of the
war against Japan to:
1. Keep your family well-fed by
using the many alternates for
scarce foods. Careful planning will
help you to serve healthy and at
tractive meals despite shortages.
2. Budget your wartime spend
ing. Saving now helps hold prices
down. Spending later will stimulate
prosperity when war production
ceases.
3. Back up the men who will
bring victory over Japan by becom-
ing WAVE. 10000 are needed for
hospital and other assignments
Write WAVES, Washington rs

This increased need for all
types of general duty, especially

where losses have been greater
than anticipated.
