The business leaders of

is obvious that there exists
a minority of business men

 In connection with the recom- mendation for co-ordinated plan ming by parochial and public school officials, Mayor Monagan pointed out that Chase School is now crowded. If SS. Peter and Paul Church parish should expand it's parochial school, that crowded con- dition would be relieved, and expan- sion by the city would not be nec- essary, he pointed out.
 Raymond F. Stone, chairman of the new committee, was asked to contact individual church pastors, and arrange for meetings with the whole committee If that was found advisable.

Nazi Lenders Squirn1 When Hearing Courts Verdicts

Nuernberg, Oct. l-(UP)-Her- mann Goering and all the rest Of them took 1t sitting down. After wards Goering slumped against a corner of the prisoners box with his head on the rail
 Joachim von Ribbentrop had the look of death in his eyes. He sat motionless-sometimes staring at the ceiling with his eyes half shut and lips tightly pursed.
 Hjalmar Schacht was stunned by his acquittal. He bowed his head then sat up straight and looked puzzled Immediately he produced a small book and began taking notes as he listened
 GOering Annoyed
 Rudolf Hess also scribbled while the verdict was read. Even when they said he was sane and ably represented by counsel" he showed no emotion. At one time his lack of attention seemed to annoy Goer- ing, but when the final result was announced, he swung around and the two men held brief, whispered, conversation.
 Most of them avoided looking at one another. They looked at the floor, the ceiling, or the judges. Julius Streicher, the Jew batter, chewed gum most of the time and looked anxious all the time,
 Grand Admirals Karl Doenitz and Erich Raeder appeared cheer full as they entered the dock. Goer- ing removed his dark glasses after while and replaced them with ordinary spectacles.
 Wilhelm von Keitel, PruSsian chief of the Nazi general staff, stirred uneasily when his conviction was announced. He looked straight ahead and rubbed his face with his hand.
 Breathe Easier
 Each of them seemed to be mak- ing mighty effort to show no emo- tion and each of them appeared to relax and breathe easier when his guilt or innocence was announced.
 Walther Funk, former Nazi press chief, seemed the unhappiest of all He chatted with his neighbors few times, but for the most part he glanced nervously around the courtroom.
 Ernest Kaltenbrunner winced when he heard his name mentioned in connection with the murder of some 6,000,000 Jews. The court said Kaltenbrunners secret police

played leading part in the final solution" of Germany's Jewish question. Kaltenbrunner tried to mask his feelings by folding his arms across his face. His mouth twitched occasionally, but his eyes were inscrutable.
 Sometimes Rudolf Hess appeared to be making belated attempt to demonstrate his alleged insanity. He scribbled furiously and snapped at Goering on one occasion. His face twisted into various grimaces as the verdict reading droned on.
 Rosenberg Nervous
 Alfred Rosenbefg, the Nazi ideolo- gist and philosohper, sat with his arms crossed and looked at the floor He adjusted his earphones from time to time, but, like the others, he tried to restrain himself and showed no emotion.
 Hans Frank, Hitlers protector for Poland, hardly moved during the reading, but his high brow was covered with precipitation and his jaws were clenched tightly when his turn came.
 During the recess most of them took chunks of bread from their pockets and munched. Arthur Seyss-Inquart, formerly of Austria, combed his hair. Goering talked rapidly with Von Ribbentrop
 Fritz Sauckel, Nazi "SA" and "SS" chief, shifted uneasily in his chair and wiped his lips nervously when he heard himself convicted of overall responsibility for the Nazi slave labor program.

 Bormann although convicted, was tried in absentia. He never has been found, and probably died from a. Russian shell in Berlin. American intelligence officers in Berlin yester- dayfh denied rumor printed in a French-licensed German paper that he was alive.
 1 The Tribunal acquitted Schacht because it recognized the grim f1n- ancial wizard never was in Hitler inner circle and was regarded by the circle with "undisguised hostil- ity."
 Papen was credited by the Trib- unal with speech at Marburg June 6, 1884, in which he 'de- nounced the Nazi reign of terror" This resulted in his dismissal as vice-chancellor after his arrest dur ing the Boehm purge.

 RibbentrOp Knew Score
 Ribbentrop was held responsible as a diplomat since his diplomatic efforts were so closely connected with the war that he could not have remained unaware of the ag- greSSiVe nature of Hitler's actions. j
 The Tribunal said there was mo- thing in mitigation of Keitel, as chief of the high command.
 The Tribunal threw out pleas that Hess was insane. Tt may be true that Hess acts in an abnormal manner, suffers loss of memory and has mentally deteriorated during the trial, but there is nothing to show that he does not realize the nature of the charges against him or is incapable of defending him. self"
 In finding Frank guilty of war crimes and crimes against human ity, the Tribunal fired back Franks own words, The Poles shall be slaves of the Greater German world empire we must annihi- late the Jews wherever we find them and wherever it is possible in order to maintain there the struc- ture of the Reich as a whole" kaltenbrunner was held fully re- sponsible for the murder of war pri- soners and political opponents, and ordering police not to interefere with attacks on parachuting Allied hiers.

Regional Schools May Be Solution to Problem Here

A possibility of eventually setting up eight or nine regional schools | in Waterbury instead of continuing with nearly 30 smaller grammar schools was hinted at a meeting of the Board of Education last night, when the commissioners discussed recommendation made recently by the City Planning Commission. Mayor John s. Monagan, who presided, asked a newly appointed committee to make arrangements to discuss future school building with parochiaI school officials Co-ordin- ated planning by public and paro- chial school officials has been recommended by the city commits sion.
 Commissioner Perry Graicerstein commented that the parochial school building program would not affect the public school system ex- tensively If the Board adopted a plan for regional schools He point ed out that the general movement is toward such system, and in- quired what the sentiment of the local Board is toward it.
 Other members of the Board commented that long-range plan ming here has been held up until a report is submitted by the State Education Department on a survey conducted last Spring in high schools. A similar survey in gram mar schools is expected to get underway this month.
 Board members commented that recommendations of the state unit should be considered before definite action is taken.
 Commissioner Gracerstein in his comments on the regional schoo. plan pointed out that large gymna- SiumS and music rooms and Othel

 Violated Submarine
 The tribunal held Doenitz respon- Sible for violating the rules of sub marine warfare laid down by the London Agreement and Protocol of 1886 "by sinking neutral merchant ships in the proclamation zones de- clared by the German government.
 Raeder was found guilty be- cause he was active in the invasion of Norway, participated in plans for the invasion of Poland and the US.S.R., was present at the Hoez- bach Conference Nov. 5, 1887, al which aggressive war was planned and admitted passing on the con- mando order, although it did not apply to naval warfare"
 The Tribunal said Won Schiract subjected the Hitler youth to ar intense program of Nazi propa- ganda." It spoke mostly, however o1 his participation in the forced labor program in Vienna and his defense of deportation of the Jews as 8 contributing factor to European culture"
 Sauckel was credited with "over- all responsibility for the slave labor program which involved deporta- tion for slave labor of more than 5,000,000 human beings, many of them under terrible conditions of cruelty and suffering"
 Jodls defense that he acted under superior orders" was blasted by the Tribunal, It said of the acts charged against him, participation in such crimes as these never has been required of any soldier, and he cannot now shield himself behind the mythical requirement. of sol dierly obedience at all costs, as his excuses for commission of these crimes"
 The Tribunal said in convicting Seyss- -Inquart, he assumed respon- sibility for governing territory which had been occupied by aggres- sive war and administration of which was of vital importance in aggressive war.
 Von Neurath was found guilty on all four counts, but the Tribunal credited him with seeking the re- lease of many Czechs who had been arrested.
 The Tribunal admitted Speer did not initiate or plan wars of aggres- sion" but said he participated in the slave labor program.
 Prick was condemned as the chief NaZi administrative specialist and bureaucrat Prussian min iSter of interior ReichS protec- tor of Bohemia and Moravia largely responsible for bringing the German nation under complete control of the Nazi party, largely responsible for legislation which suppressed trade unions, church, Jews signed laws incorporat- ing Austria, and Sudetenland Memel, Danzig and the eastern ter ritories."

peared anxious, but somehow cheer ful, when he entered the court room. Later his smile disappeared and he shifted around in his seat.
 Wilhelm Prick, Nazi protector" for Bohemia and Moravia, puffed his cheeks and stirred restlessly when he heard his guilt pronounced.
 Streicher squirmed and darted glances at Chief Justice Lawrence while the long list of slaughtered Jews was read. He rubbed his twitching face continually and licked his thin, white lips as he heard himself convicted of crimes against humanity.
 The two admirals were models of restraint as the verdict was read. Raeder bowed his head when the reading of the judgment was com pleted, then slid down in his seat.
