Gau|eiter for Vienna
Denies He Knew Jews
Were 10 Be Wiped Out
BY the Associoted Press

NUREMBERG. May 27.-Baldur
Won Schirach told the international
military tribunal today he had
joined in plan to ship Jews from
Vienna to the occupied East, but
insisted he did not know they were
to be exterminated.
During cross-eXamination of the
onetime Hitler youth leader and
gauleiter for Vienna, the prosecution
produced records of a conference
between Won Schirach and Hitler in
l940, during which the evacuation
OF 10000 Jews from Austria was
discussed.
The defendant has contended that
ne never participated in any way in
acts against Jews.
You knew the Jews in Vienna
were to be sent to Minsk and Riga -
Prosecutor Thomas j. Dodd de-
clared, "and you knew what hap
pened to the Jews there"
Won Schirach launched into a
lengthy denial and Mr.. Dodd inter
rupted to read a communication
from Gestapo Chief Reinhard Hev-
drich informing Schirach's office
that Riga's $4,000 Jews had been
reduced" to $500. and that $4,000
were shot in Minsk.
schirach denied his youth organi-
cation had been connected with a
plan to sap Russian strength by
kidnapping thousands OF children
for transport to the Reich, using
them for forced labor and DESTROYING
their power to reproduce.
Thereupon Mr.. Dodd introduced
reports linking the defendants office
with the scheme.
DO you know that the Allied au-
thorities are still trying to find more
than 10000 of those youngsters?"
Mr.. Dodd shouted. Schirach said
he did not.
