Admits Moral Gilt.
There was some indication that
Hitler's henchmen themselves were
beginning to understand the true
significance of the worlds abhor-
renee of Naziism and its works. This
appeared evident in the declaration
of the attorney for Hans Fritzsche
that the one-time deputy to Propa-
ganda Minister Paul Josef Goebbels
was ready to acknowledge moral
guilt for having placed his energies
at the disposal of the Nazi regime. ,
His counsel said Fritzsche reached
this conclusion after learning "all
about the concentration camps and
the other evidence produced. But
Fritzsche did not consider himself
criminally guilty because he was
carrying out ORDERS" his counsel
said.
Whether any Of the other defend
ants felt the same way was not
known, but It was noted that a
number Of them replied mot guilty
in the sense of the Indictment
when they made their pleas. Fritz
sche was one Of those who used
those words.
Defense Motion Still Open.
The way still was open, appar-
emily, for hearing on the German
attorneys motion that the court
was not authorized to try the de-
fendants-possibly after completion
of the prosecutions case. The court
told the defense that remaining

was denied by the court as the sec

YOUNGSTOWN, O., Aug. 3.-R-
Officials of the National Amateur
Baseball Federation, headed by
President Henry Schubert OF Dear
