1oenitz's War Guilt
Is Being Studied,
Eden Tells Commons
BY the Associated Press.

-s s'p'SSA~seN@ .
LONDON, May 17.-Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden told the House
of Commons today that the question
Of war guilt of Grand Admiral Karl
Doenitz, successor to Hitler, was
under Investigation and that, "ac-
cOrding to newspaper reports"
Doenitz had been arrested.
He said everything was being done
to track down and bring to justice
Hitler's foreign minister, Joachim
von Ribbentrop.
In reply to another question about
whether swift justice would descend
on that "loathsome criminal" Her
mann Goering, Mr. Eden said firmly:
II hope So"
The foreign secretary, making his
first House appearance since return
ing from San Francisco, declared he
could not say at present when war
trials would start.
The preparation Of charges and
the making of necessary arrange
ments for the trials involves consul
tation with our Allies and this Is
bound to take little time" he ex-
planned.
His remarks on bringing Ribben-
trop to justice were interpreted
generally as meaning the former
champagne salesman would be tried
as war criminal.
One member called Mr. Eden's at
tention to President Truman's ap-
pointment of Associate Justice Rob-
ert H. Jackson as American repre-
sentative and chief of counsel in
preparing and prosecuting of
charges against war criminals and
those responsible for atrocities.
| Mr.. Eden replied that consider
alton was being given to the ap-
pointment of British representa-
| tive.
An official close to the War Crimes
Commission said today the commits
sion had not been informed-ex-
cept through newspapers-of the
indentities of prominent Nazis now
in Allied hands.
| He said that was one reason the
commission has not officially made
public the names of any of those
on its list of war criminals. with
the exception of Reichsmarshal
Hermann Goering, IAN obvious
case
| The commission previously had
adopted policy Of keeping the list
secret on the theory that publica-
ton would make apprehension more
! difficult. This source said that some
of those in Allied hands were "ap-
parently oblivious' to the fact that
they were on the list, judging from
their quoted statements in the news
papers.
Meanwhile. the London Daily Mail
said the trial Of chief criminals like
Goering and Nazi Gestapo Chief
Heinrich Himmler would raise nu-
merous problems. and it asked Why
try them at all?"
The newspaper suggested that
they be dealt with by political de-
cision of the Allied powers and cited
as an example the case of Napoleon.
