COURTS DECISION
CAUSING SURPRISE
Germans In Berlin Felt Won

Death

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-R-The i'm
mediate reaction of the first dozen
Germans interviewed here as the
Nuremberg verdicts were announ-
ced was surprise that any of the
defendants had been wholly acquit-
tied.
That's really something" said
four of the persons questioned when
told that Hjalmar Schacht, Franz
Won Papen and Hans Fritzsche had
been found innocent.
These Germans said they had ex-
pected the trio would receive
some degree of punishment"
Among the German staff OF the
Associated Press bureau here, the
greatest surprise was expressed
over the acquittal of Won Papen
and Fritzsche.
Middle-aged people who were
familiar with Won Papen's careers
said they thought he would have
been judged at least partly guilty
because he's an old fox and a con-
niver who helped Hitler to power
and played all sides Of any fence"
M~idle-aged Germans generally
agreed with the acquittal Of Fritz
sche, because at least he never
killed anyone" but some Of the
younger generation described Fritz
sch as "a loudmouth Nazi propa-
gandist' and expressed the opinion
ut would have been more just to
be lenient with the purely military
leaders," This group especially
mentioned Wilhelm Keitel.
