Individuals Responsible, Dodd dHoIds
 Verdict on High
 Nozi Leaders
 Is Due Sept. 23

Nuremberg, Aug. 29- GUP) The United States demanded today that the war crimes tribunal find five Nazi organizations, including the notorious Black Shirts and Gesta1 DO, guilty of the same mass crimes against humanity as laid against individual Nazi leaders.
 U. s. Prosecutor Thomas J. Dodd, in final summation of the Ameri- can case, said conviction of the or ganizations would lay foundations for trial of their rank and file mem- bers-the thousands of small fry Nazis who "heiled" and marched behind swastikas during the Hitler regime.
 An official source said the ver- dict on Hermann Goering and the 21 other Nazi leaders will be an- nounced Sept. 23 The tribunal was expected to recess late Saturday for preparation of the verdict. The NaZi leaders have been on trial since last November.
 Six Trials Planned
 Arrangements are being made for six simultaneous trials of industrial its and lesser figure at Nuremberg, Furth and Regensburg in the Am erican zone. These trials will follow conclusion of the current trial.
 Dodd. representing Chief U. s. Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson, now back in the United States. said all of the organizations had committed criminal conspiracy, aggressive war, mass murder, slave labor, racial and religious prosecutions and brutal mistreatment of millions of inno- cent people
 Dodd said each of the 9 Nazi bigwigs in the dock were connected with one or more of the organiza- tions-the Gestapo, S, A. tBrown Shirts, S.S. (Black Shirts), the Political Leadership Corps and the D D,s all NtAiiG iOi 1AAS Gestapo made up of picked S.S. men.
 They were all a part of, and essential to, the police state planned by Hitler and perfected by his cl- que into the most absolute tyranny of modern times" Dodd told the court in his summary of evidence ct ba Y, the last 10 months.
 Deprive the Nazi conspirators of these organizations and they could never have accomplished their criminal aims.
 Brown Shirts Largest :.
 The Brown Shirts S.A.. with be- tween 100000 and 1000 900 "Iden- tifable" members, was the largest one of the five groups. Smallest was the Reich Cabinet with 48.
 Dodd estimated that the Leader ship Corps and the Black Shirted S.S. organization each had about 6O0OO members, the Gestapo 30,000 to 10000 and its informer arm the SD, 5000 to 4,OOO. Assisted by thousands of voluntary stool pigeons known "V-men.'
 Dodd painstaklingly traced the bloody history of each group, at- tempting to show how they were used by the conspirators from the establishment of the Nazi party in 1920 until the conclusion of the war in 1945."
 Thus the party planned, the Cabinet legislated, and the S.S., S.A Gestapo and the military lead CTS executed he said.
 The cabinet started planning ag- gressive war secretly between 1883 and 1885, and by 1889 plans to use prisoners of war and slave labor were ready. Dodd asserted.
 Talked War Start
 The Brown Shirts, he said, helped drum up war spirit, the Black Shirts marched into the Sudetenland and Poland, and overated a global spy network.
 The American prosecutor charged that the Gestapo faked the incident which set off World War II. He accused Gestapo agents of murder ing concentration camp prisoners at the radio station at Gleiwitz 50 as to afford Hitler a justification for the attack on Poland"
 The Leadership Corps, Dodd said set up the slave labor program which gave human beings Hess attention and less decent concern than primitive man often gave to his brutes"
 With a crassness unknown to ordinary domestic animal care, di- rectives providing for the abortion of female laborers were distributed, ' Dood told the tribunal.
