 Americu Out
 Never Intended
 To Attack D. 5.

Nuremberg, March 30,-- UP co Joachim von Ribbentrop told the War Crimes Court today that Ger- many never intended to attack the United States.
 Ribbentrop, former NaN foreign minister. said Adolf Hitler did not want war with the United States, and he himself tried in diplomatic ways to keep the United States out Of the war
 The main purpose of the German, Italian and Japanese pact was to keep the United States out Of the war. thus isolatine Britain and forcing compromise peace, Rib- bentrop testified,
 After the Axis had overlrln vest ern Europe, the onetime cham pagne salesman said, Hitler re- uewed peace proposals to the Br!- tish. He said Hitler offered to guarantee the British Empire in re- turn for the recognition of Ger man supremacy on the continent and the restormation of one or two" German colonies.
 Trace U. D. Acuvity
 He traced Hitler's growing anxiety about the possibility of the United States entering the war. He men tioned a speech by the late Presi- dent Roosevelt as early as 1887 which he said reflected the coun- trys attitude.
 Then came the cash and carry plan for American supplies, the de- livery of 50 destroyers to Britain, Lend-Lease, the U. S. move into Iceland and Greenland, and finally the invasion of North Africa.
 Tracing the events. Ribbentrop said Roosevelt's order to the U S. Navy to shoot if necessary to get supplies to Britain in the Sum- mer of l94l was "regrettable".
 Hitler was greatly excited by this order" he said.

was born, Bert Trice of Phoenix.
He later married Mrs. Matte Trice
who passed away in 1919, to them
was born a son, Thomas A. of New
York City.

covered from shock incurred when

months ago.

vived by two daughters-in-law,
Mrs. Cora Wheeler Trice of Phoe-
nix and Mrs. Thomas A. Trice of

Original manuscripts of the words
and music of Ballad for Americans
were presented July 2 to the Lii
brary of Congress.
The Ballad, widely known since
it was first broadcast in 1889 with

it." It stresses the support given
Washington, Jefferson and Lin

The music was composed by Earl

such as "Joe HILL" Words of Bal
