InE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT WATERBURY, CONN., FRIDAY NOVEMBER B. l95

presented from the official Mill tary Weekly Gazette
 Embarrassed at Testimony
 An account of Schacht's early political association with Hitler was given in an affidavit by Goerg von Schnitzler, an oficial of l. G. Far ben.
 This affidavit described the meet ing of the Ruhr industrialists at which Schacht persuaded them to raise the 3,000,000 mark slush fund. Schacht appeared embarrassed at the testimony.
 Hermann Goering followed the testimony closely and nodded his head in apparent agreement as many details of the Nazi reorgan- ization of industry were submitted.
 The evidence was presented after Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop asked permission through his counsel to call six prominent British figures and a General Wood of the U. S. Army as witnesses.
 Does Not Specify General
 Doctor Fritz Sauter, the former German foreign ministers attorney, announced that he had filed an ap- plication to subpoena the prominent men. He did not identify what Gen. eral Wood he meant.
 (There are several generals oy that name in the American Army register)
 Won Ribbentrp's list included Lord Beaverbrook, publisher of the powerful London Daily Express ana close adviser of Winston Churchill
 (The Daily Express said in Nuremberg dispatch that Ribben- trop also is demanding Soviet For eipn Minister Vaycheslav Molotov as defense witness. It added that
 Churchill's name had been dropped from the list because the defense did rot believe the trl- bunal would allow him. to De called0 e,,
 The other men on von Ribben- trop's list are Lord Vansittart, formerly permanent undersecretary of the British Foreign Office; Lord londonderry, secretary of state for air from 1931-35; Lord Kemsley, one of Britain's press lords" and pup, fisher of the Daily Sketch; Lore Derby, war minister during Worlo War I and later ambassador to France; and Godfrey Dawson, edl- tor of the London Times during the Munich era. Dawson is dead. Reviews Conspiracy Account
 Sauter said, T do not know whether the court will agree to call them, but hope so and we can try,
 When the fourth day of the trlal opened, Assistant Prosecutor Frank Wallis of Boston renewed a detailed development of the American con spiracy case against the 20 Nazl , leaders. Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, through his attorney, intered an objection to the prosecutions des- cription of the Nazi government structure. The object claimed that the Reich Defense Council never

 AW officers insist that the wage inease is necessary to keep the wtrers' peacetime pay at the war tie level. During the war, the upn argues, the workers were on aB-hour week with time and hi pay for all hours over 40. A 3per cent wage increase would be e,ivalent to 12 hours of work at slight time under the current We scale.

 He told arms directors, through Hermann Goering, in August l94O that Germany was interested III prompt deliveries to Russia "only until the spring of 1941 and later we would have no interest in com- pletely satisfying Russian demands" "
 Financed Nazi Rise
 Evidence was placed before the war crimes tribunal today that pr. Hjalmar Schacht, the Krupp ln- terests and other German industr1- alists raised a 3,000, ,000-mark slush fund to help put Adolf Hitler into power.
 Schacht, the evidence disclosed, was ringleader in the fund-raislng campaign and acted as host to an assembly of Ruhr industrialists who were called together at Hitler's be- hest
 After Hitler spoke to the indus trial group in February 1883, about a month before he came into office, Schacht proposed that they raised 5000 OOO marks to back the Naz campaign.
 The industrialists, the evidence disclosed, agreed to raise the fund. The share of the great =. G. Far benindustrie Chemical Combine in the fund was to be 10 per, cent.
 
 The evidence, in the form of affl- davits, letters and other records, was placed before the court as it was announced that Russia is sending Foreign Affairs Vice-Con1m1ssar A. Y. Vishinsky, the famous prosecutor of the Moscow purge trials, to Nuremberg.
 It was believed Vishinsky might take oyer the Soviet prosecution Of the case. He is accompanied by So- viet Judge advocate Gorshenln' They were scheduled to arrive later today. ....s
 Among evidence placed before the court was a letter to Hitler from Gustav Krupp, head of the great Krupp arms firm who originally was named in the war crimes indictment but is too i'll to be brought to trlal. Krupp wrote Hitler that the Nazl victory was in line with the hopes which he and his directors had long cherished.
 In another letter to Hitler, Krupp, speaking as chairman of the Ger man Association of industry, SUD- mitted a plan which Hitler accepted for making the association an ln- strument of Nazi industrial, policy.
 Secrets Exchange Outlined
 Other Krupp memoranda outlined methods for the exchange ot secret military intelligence information pe- tween the German intelligence sefV- ices and Krupp foreign representa- tiyes. Similar arrangements were made with the Zeiss optical firm.
 Evidence concerning Schacht ln- cluded a personal letter from hlm to Hitler written in 1887 in which he said, q have always considered the reararmament of the German people as a condition sine qua non for the establishment of the new German state."
 In January 1889, he wrote Hitler that from the beginning the Reichsbank has been aware of tne fact that successful foreign policy can be attained only by reconstruc tion of the German armed forces.
 Tributes to Schacht's financial wizardry crediting him with having made possible the growth of the German armed forces also were

 yendi was revised as late as Nov. 25 but that it was not included in the proposal given to the Japanese the next day. Among the provisions which Hull listed were those calling for modification of U. s. and Jap anese freezing and export reStrlc- tions to permit resumption of trade and for the United States to seek similar action by the British, Aus tralian and Dutch governments. The modus vivendi would have been in effect thre months and subject to extension.
 Explaining why the temporary proposal was dropped and only the statement of principles presented to the Japanese, Hull said high Amer ican authorities were convinced that there was only a remote" chance of Japanese acceptance.
 50 far as the modus vivendi as- pect would have appeared to the Japanese, he said, it contained only little chicken feed in the shape of some cotton, oil and a few other commodities in very limited quantities as compared with the unlimited quantities the Japanese were demanding.
 Opposition Expected
 Tt was manifest that there would be widespread opposition from American opinion to the modus vii vendi aspect of the proposal, espe- cially to the supplying of Japan of even limited quantities of oil. The Chinese government violently op- posed the idea. The other interested governments were unfavorable or lukewarm."
 Because of the slim chance of Japanese acceptance, Hull said, it was concluded that the modus vii

 I'll the early stages, an estimated 100000 persons took part in the demonstrations. About 50,000 joined in a march through the streets.
 Many groups of demonstrators bore the orange, green and white flags of the All-India Congress Ma tionalist Party demanding indepen- dence for India.
 Gunfire rattled in the streets and Indian mons repeatedly attacked British and American military vehi- cles. The violence was predominant ly anti-British, but many Americans were injured in the melee.
 Scull Fractured
 One American officer suffered a skull fracture from 3 brick hurled by an Indian.
 F'renzied demonstrators lay down on the railroad tracks, trying to halt train movements. Military traf- fic ran through the city under armed escort, but the rioters halted and burned many vehicles at road blocks constructed cn all principal arteries into the city.
 The London News Chronicle re- ported that. American vehicles out side the Officers Club at Karnani Estates were attacked during the night. It said an Indian killed a major and three soldiers with a hand grenade, but the dispatch did not make clear whether the victims were American or British)
 AS tension rose to an extreme pitch, the British governor of Ben- gal, Richard Casey, broadcast an ap- peal to Indian leaders to help re- store order. He described the dem onstrators as 'an uncontrolled lead- erless body of youth"
 City Workers Strike
 Twenty thousand municipal work CTS struck today crippling the city's water supply. Public transportation has been halted by strike of bus, taxi and rickshaw drivers.
 The demonstration has grown swiftly from its beginning Wednes- day when it was small predomi- nantly Hindu protest against the trials of Indians who had joined the Japanese-sponsored Indian Nation al Army of Subhas Chandra Bose.
 By daylight today it had been joined by the Moslem League, Com munist party, the linda Mahasa- bha Party, and Sikhs.
 Two American officers received severe head injuries when their au- tomobile was halted at barricade by students Forty police were among the injured.
 Europeans remained indoors to avoid the fury of the mobs.

Continued from Page D small room which was damned with spectators, hungry Congressmen and reporters, squatting on metal bridge chairs. The Hon. Sol said this wouldn't do. Where was the staff of Gen. Eisenhower going to sit: One of the booers of the day before suggested sotto-voce that the staff could sit in the ante-room. The Hon. Sol ignored this and or dered up some more chairs. Then he installed on his right thumb his best known invention: The combina- ton plastic thimble, Pipe-tamper- inner, and gavel.
 He rapped for order, which he got except for the two-year-old grandson of the lady sitting next to mel and introduced Gen. Eisen- hover. The General looked little peaked.
 Admits Poor Condition
 The Hon. Sol said Eisenhower's doctors had told him to stay in bed, but that the General had climbed out anyway, to testify. Bloom said that if the committee men would refrain from too many questions, the General might get well quicker.
 The General said he didn't feel so hot for a fact, but that he wasnt t too sick to answer questions. He read in a hoarse voice two-page statement saying it was about time to turn all European relief over to the United Nations Relief and Relief and Rehabilitation Admin istration (pronounced, Un-RahO.
 Hey, mummy" the tWo-year-o old cried; the lady shuShed him and Rep. Luther A. Johnson of Tex, wondered whether the Army couldn't handle relief better than Un-Rah.
 Army Feels Inadequate
 Gen. Ike said, well sir, he dropped in on one camp where five babies had been born the day before. He said he didn't believe the Army was adequate. All the committee men made little speeches thanking him, a few asked questions, and Rep Karl E. Mundt of South Dako- ta, said he bet the General wouldn't have any of those fine, f1avorsome, South Dakota pheasants for his dinner.
 The General said not unless Rep. Mundt gave him his address. End testimony. The General went back to bed and the fever thermometer. The Hon. Sol strolled out, while Othman went around the corner for his Thanksgiving meal.
 The man said the trouble was it was a holiday. No deliveries. That was why, he said his hot dogs looked wrinkled. Use plenty of mus tard, he said.

 The strike was called Wednesday in an effort to enforce the NAVY wage demand. About 175,000 auti workers walked out, shutting dowl the General Motors automobiI plants which turn out more thai half the nations automobiles.
 The outcome of. the strike may s the pattern for postwar wage DO icies for all American industry.
 The walkout came after the co wage proposal and after its failu poration's continued rejection of t to meet a 24-hour deadline for reT to the unions arbitration offer.
