British Prosecution
Begins Summing Up
Against Nazi Groups
BY the Asseeiat.d Pres,

NUREMBERG, Aug. 28.-T h e
British prosecution started summing
up late today against seven Nazi or
ganizations, on trial with % indi-
viduals for war crimes.
Sir David Maxwell Fyfe de-
nounced before the International
Military Tribunal the German cabi-
net, the SIS, the Gestapo, the politi-
cal leadership corps, the SA, the
general staff and the high command.
Conviction of the organizations
might result in conviction automa-
tically of the individuals belonging
to them.
He said there was no purpose to
convict the people of Germany, but
rather to protect them.
But how can this be done the
British prosecutor asked, "if we leave
among them, unpunished and un-
condemned, those elements of Nazi-
dom which were most responsible
for Nazi tyranny and crime and
which, as this tribunal may we'll
believe, are beyond conversion to
the ways of freedom and righteous
ness?"
He said failure to punish the men
who used society merely as a means
to their ends may we'll spell terror
and racial persecution throughout a
continent and, for a third time in
our adult lives, a world war"

MANILA, Aug. 28.-Administra-

The accused denied under pros
ecution questioning today that he
had sent a chief pharmacists mate

IN Teheran conspired in late 1912
1or a German invasion of Iran,
Field Marshal Lord Henry Maitland
Wilson said in supplement to the
London Gazette today.
This plot involved Persian
cabinet minister, three members of
Parliament, II generals and many
other senior officers of the army, as
well as the Qashgai tribes the
former chief of the Persian and
Iraq command reported in a dis
patch, now made public, covering
the period from August 81, 1912, to
February II, 1943.
Teheran, Marshal Wilson said,
was a hub of internal trouble and
investigations eliminated
IN the discovery of an extensive
plot" instigated by German agents.
Early in December, Gen. Zahidi,
who was implicated, was arrested
in Isfahan, and this had a steadying
effect" he said
AS set forth in the Gazette, it was
estimated in August, 1912, that the
Germans might penetrate the Rus
sian Caucasus and reach the Araxes
River in Northern Iran by late Octo-
Der. Therefore, had not the Allied
command acted swiftly, the Ger
mans might have been able to follow
up their success in the Caucasus by
striking at the oil fields at the head
of the Persian Gulf. 1t was on the
security of those fields that the
Allied war effort in the Middle East,
India and the Far East greatly de-
pended.

Radio Link With Moon
Seen by Atom Scientist
BY the Associoted Press

PITTSBURGH, Aug %. The tech
nical possibility of moon-to-e earth
broadcasts which would give man.
kind information now only conjec-
tural about the moon was advanced
yesterday by scientist who was a
Manhattan Project representative
at the second atomic bomb test at
Bikini.
OF course, broadcasts from the
moon first involve getting to the
moon, and for that DR.. j. A. Hutche-
son looked to the Army, which ex-
poets to build earth-to-moon rock
cts within l8 months.
DR.. Hutcheson, associate director
of the Westinghouse Research Lab
|oratories, said a radio transmitting
set weighing less than 100 pounds,
including batteries, could be placed
in the rocket. This hermetically-
sealed transmitter, although small,
would have the power to send sig
mails 240, 900 miles from the moon to
the earth via ultrashort waves.
To conserve the batteries, DR..
Hutcheson planned broadcasts for
only one minute out of each hour. A
rocket ascending at 1000 miles per
hour would take about 60 hours to
reach the moon. The batteries would
still have enough life to broadcast
for several days from the moon it
self.
The scientist said that through
signals sent automatically from the
rocket radio. progress and landing
of the rocket would be reported,
along with temperature changes on
the moon
DR.. Hutcheson also figured out
how to land the 4,00O-m mile-an- hour
rockets without smashing the deli
cate radio instruments. The proxi-
nifty fuse, used in wartime to ex-
plode shells at just the right mo-
