JACKSON SCORES
UNPUBLISHED NAILS
Nuremberg Prosecutor Files
Report Citing Possible
New Trials

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15@R-
Justice Robert H. jackson said
Tuesday night there are r. my
German industrialists, diplomats,
politicians and others whose
guilt does not differ" from that OF
the II high Nazis given death
sentences at Nuernburg.
He recommended that the United
States proceed on its own to try
those within American-occupied
Germany, rather than putting their
cases before another international
tribunal.
Industrialists and financiers
could be tried, Jackson said, on
"such specific charges as the use
of slave labor" He called it IRE
grettable that the Nuernburg tri-
bunal acquitted financier Hjalmoa
Schacht and diplomat Franz Won
Papen.
In a report as U. S. chief prose-
cuter, Jackson told President Tru-
man the trial and the decision
condemming II high Nazis to
death "do more than anything in
our time to give to international
law what Woodrow Wilson describ-
ed as the kind of vitality is can
only have if it is a real expression
of our moral Judgement.
Saying eve cannot doubt that
they strengthen the bulwarks OF
peace and tolerance" he added.
New Hope To Men
1.-THE four nations through their
prosecutors and through the;~ rep
resentatives on the tribunal, have
enunciated standards of conduct
which bring a new hope to men
of good will and from which future
statesmen will not likely depart.
The standards by which the Ger
mans have been condemned will
become the condemnation of any
nation that is faithless to them"

British government has rejected a
Jewish request for immediate il
crease of the Palestine immigra-
ton quota to 1000 or 5000 Jews a

sources said Tuesday.
The increased quota was request
ed by Jewish agency leaders at a

Jones, colonial secretary for the
Labor government. It followed
closely on President Harry S.
Truman's request that "substan-
tiaI immigration be permitted Eat

Foreign office as unfortunate"
DR.. Chain Weizmann, president
Of the agency, repeatedly told
Jones that the proposed increase
in immigration might make it pos
sible for the agency to curb Jew
