Gen. McNarneyG Grant,
Amnesty 10 100000
Nazis in Policy Shift
Number Now Subject to
Prosecution Reduced
To About 100000
BY the Associated Press

| FRANKFURT, Dec. 24.-Ap-
proxinrately 100000 "little Nazis'
in the American zone of occupa-
ton were granted amnesty to-
day-the day before Christmas
by proclamation of Gen. Joseph
T. McNarhey, American COM
mander in Europe
BY the amnesty the number of
Germans in the American zone
liable to prosecution under denazi-
hcation laws is reduced to approx
imately 100000.
The amnesty. the announcement
said, will apply to all persons who
are not chargeable under the
law OF liberation from National
Socialism and militarism" as major
offenders, or offenders whose yearly
income during the calendar years
1943 and 1945 was less than 5000
marks and whose taxable property
in 1945 did not exceed 10000 marks.
Also exempted from prosecution
are persons not major offenders, or
offenders who are more than so per
cent disabled. Gen. McNarney esti-
mated that the amnesty would ap-
ply to approximately 100000 per-
sons.
Major Change in Policy.
The announcement, while coming
virtually on Christmas eve, was not
regarded SO much as holiday pres
ent, but as major change in Amer
ican policy.
1t appeared aimed at breaking
the log jam of multitudinous cases
in denazification courts so that full
attention could be directed to bring
ing major offenders to justice more
quickly.
Approximately II OO0,0 900 Germans
have been required to fill out denazi-
fication questionnaires and nearly
100000 of that number have been
found chargeable under the law.
The number chargeable will be re-
duced to approximately 100000 as
a result of today's amnesty.
"I am sure that this amnesty will
permit German administration to
proceed more vigorously to seek out
and punish the active Nazis who
brought destruction on their coun-
try and at the same time will en-
courage those who come under its
terms to seek the ways of democ-
racy," Gen. McNarney said.
The general gave the news to the
Germans in person by addressing a
Christmas gathering of citizens in a
public square of this United States
Army headquarters city. 1t was the
first time the theater commander
had appeared at such a meeting.
Results mot Satisfactory"
So far as was known, the United
States was alone in adopting the
amnesty procedure. None of the other
three occupying powers had an
nounced intentions of any similar
action up to the time Gen. Nc
Narney spoke.
