Nuremberg Trials

As all the world knows, the "Nu- ernberg Trials" have ended. Eleven of the German war criminals have been sentenced to be hanged. Sev- en received prison terms up to life. Three were acquitted. Some of the guiltiest were not even tried.
 Why the wide difference in treatment-from death to complete exemption? Before attempting to answer that question, let's look back briefly over the trials.
 Four judges were appointed American, British, Russian, French. Also prosecutors" repre- senting the Big Four" nations. Among them all, one man stood out for his prestige during the trial and his work during it. He was Su- preme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief prosecutor for the United States.
 What Jackson Wanted
 The trials were scarcely under way when Jackson tried, in vain, to bring all the guilty to book. He particularly urged prosecution of two groups:
 1-The German general staff and the other top professional army and navy leaders, whose business was war and wholesale murder, who are the embodiment of Prus- sian militarism, but who are "ariS- tocrats."
 27The German induStrialistS and financiers who subsidized Hitler and put him in power, back in the early 1930's, when the Nazis failed to get a "Reichstag" majority by legal methods.
 The British and French judges blocked Jackson on the aristocratic Prussian militarists; permitted tri- al of only a few "upstart" Nazi generals and admirals.
 Krupp Became 'Tll"
 The only concession Jackson could get on Hitler's financial and industrial packers was trial of Gus tav Krupp, whose history as a steel and armament magnate was too notorious to ignore.
 Then Krupp conveniently became

 Endorsed by the club as we'll al this same meeting for the two rep reSentative openings were A. S.. Waldon, president of the Groton Democratic Club, who is proposed as the East Side choice, and Mi chael Petrosky, the enthusiastic, economically minded CT, for the West Side of the Town.
 Former State Senator Alfred Bingham of the 20th (ShoeString DistricD, was the keynote speaker of the evening. As a member of the State Platform Committee he went into some detail explaining the various provisions of the State Platford, which he described as containing" Not merely fine words, but progressive action" MT. Bingham gave especial attention to the Housing program which he feels indirectly responsible for as the original State Housing Bill was proposed by him and passed the State Senate four years ago. He also accented the need of bringing our State Constitution up to date as no amendments have been made to it in 100 years. In explaining the Health Insurance program of the State Demmie Platform he pointed oIt that it covered many points not now covered by the Federal So- cial Security Program.
 MT. Bingham in speaking of the State Democratic ticket placed
