theorist, he edited the Voelkischel
Beobachter for Hitler and wrote q
book called Myth of the Twentieth
Century" He was one Of the
Fuehrer's earliest associates.
This mans active brain con-
tributed to a project which would
have destroyed the Slav race by
forced abortions, compulsory birth
control and the depopulation OF
cities through mass epidemics. His
sentence Is death,
Rosenberg takes off his earphones
so quickly he muses. his hair. Then
he is gone.
Frank is smiling when he comes
in. He adjusts his head set, bites
his lip and mods as the president
starts reading. On Franks con-
science Is the murder of an esti-
mated $4,000 Poles and Jews dur
ing his tyrant tenure as Nazi COVER
nor general of Poland. He Is
repentant. He probably most re-
pents the fact that he kept a 80
volume diary. Three times before
this trial began he tried to commit
suicide. He looks tough-and he
was.
1t is Frank who said, In his diary,
zone cannot kill all lice and Jews
in q year." 1t is also he who said,
later, "A thousand years will pass
ana this guilt OF Germany will not
be erased" Justice Lawrence says

Frank looks up at the ceiling a
moment, then removes the ear
phones and mods to q guard while
leaving.
Wilhelm Frick now stands stifny
at the bar of justice. He was Hit
ler's minister Of the interior. His
face Is craggy and sour and almost
as gray as his crewcut hair. He
wears a loud sports jacket. Frick's
counsel has depicted him as q
bureaucrat who knew nothing of
what was going on. DR.. Robert
Kempner, the American prosecuting
his Casa former German citizen
whom Frick once threw into a con-
centration camp-saw 1t somewhat
differently. He described his one
time oppressor as the administrative
genius behind Hitler'S machine
which Frick fabricated with the
blood OF millions of victims. Justice
Lawrence is reading: Death by
hanging. DR.. Kempner sits quietly
watching as Wilhelm Frick starts
back to his cell.
Streicher Generally Hated.
It is lucky for the next Nazi that
he is not a sensitive man. jew
batting, pornography collecting.
gum-chewing Julius Streicher, gau-
letter of Franconia and editor Of
Der Stuermer, is SO generally re-
garded as a stinker that not even his
20 co-defendants have had anything
to do with him.
Yet his entry is pompous and he
clicks his heels and haughtily lifts
his eyebrows when soldier hands
him the earphone. Justice Lawrence
intones his sentence-death.
Somebody in the courtroom
whistles, and a flicker of surprise
seems to cross Streichers absurd
piglike face. Then he was led back
to the jail, where no one is likely
even to ask him how he Jared. He
Is not useful to those with brains
any more.
Now we have Walther Funk, Hit
ler's finance minister, short, bald,
soft looking smart looking, with
deep pouches beneath his eyes and
lopsided twist to his mouth. How
did he know those jewels in the
Reichsbank came from victims of
the Nazi gas chambers and that
much of the gold was from their
teeth?
He cried when he saw the horror
movies. 1t was big surprise to
him to learn what the men were
the Nazis with whom he worked, as
one of their number. for Is years.
Funk apparently is also surprised by
the sentence he now receives-life
imprisonment-for he turns back
toward the bench as though he had
something to say, before the guards
lead him out.
