Patterson Aid 10 Press
On Execution BanFaiIs

Secretary of War Patterson an
nounced yesterday in reply to
numerous newspaper appeals that
he had been unable to get the
Allied Control Council in Berlin
to reconsider its rule barring news
correspondents and photographers
from the execution of any of the
Nazi war criminals who might be
sentenced to death at Nuremberg
The Secretary issued the follow
ing statement:
Several days ago members OF
the press brought to my notice a
ruling Of the Allied Control Coun-
Gil in Berlin, to the effect that
there would be no publicity at the
execution Of any death sentences
that might be imposed by the mill
tary tribunal at Nuremberg. They
protested against the ruling and
presented considerations in favor
of allowing representatives of the
press to be present and non
official photographs to be taken.
II sent a message to Gen. Nc
Narney, giving him the views pre-
sented to me and inquiring whether
the Allied Control Council hac
given thorough consideration tt
both sides of the question before
arriving at its decision.
Il received a reply from Gen
McNarney today, to the effect thai
the decision of the Allied Contro
Council had been arrived at after
thorough consideration of all phases
of the matter.
"The Allied Control Council Is
the supreme authority in Germany
and is fully authorized to decide
the question. 1t is made up of the
senior representatives of the United
States, U. s. S. r., Britain anc
France. No further action is con.
templated by the War Depart.
ment."

took charge Of the Embassy August
10, but refused further comment.
Since the cancellation orders, he
and his staff have had to cope daily
with persons demanding either that
their visas be revalidated or that
they be refunded huge sums they
assert they paid for visas.
|. One man presented an affidavit to
the embassy that he had paid s6, ,000
United States, for visas for himself
and his family of Ave. Another said
he had paid s2,500, and various
others mentioned sums up to $4,000
each.
All named one person, not now on
the staff, to whom they said they
paid the money, but all said they
had no receipts because the trans
actions were private"
One would-be emigrant, q Rus
sian musician, said this man had
asked him to pay $4,000, that he got
no visa because he could not afford
such sum, but that now he was
demanding visa at the regular
nominal fee.

World Bank Receives
FeeIer by Argentina,
.Abandons Soviet Bid
BY the Associoisd Press

The World Bank and Fund
dropped all efforts yesterday to get
Russian representation at their con-
ference here, but cautious unoff1-
cial "feeler" from Argentina was
reported.
Argentina, a late-comer into the
United Nations, is one of the few
South American countries which has
not asked entry into the bank and
monetary fund, although fund off,
cials said she made an "explora-
tory" move last spring.
The new approach, also described
as very tentative" and made only
to other hemisphere delegates here,
was reported by economists attached
to the Latin American countries.
Bank and fund governors from the
southern republics held a caucus
yesterday, organizing as a single vot-
ing bloc headed by Antonio Espinosa
de los Monteros. Mexican Ambas-
sador to the United States and a
governor of the fund.

agreed, the rest of Latin America
will support her application despite
the cleavage in recent years between
that country and most of the other
southern republics.
The Latin nations decided also to
push for the principle that "devel-
opment" loans-those intended tc
help countries build up industries
be granted virtual parity by the
world bank with reconstruction
loans, or those needed to rebuild the
war-shattered industries of Europe
and Asia.
AS the last hope that Russia
would send an observer to the
bank and fund governors session
went overheard, Secretary of the
Treasury Snyder. presiding at the
nine-day conference at the Ward
man Park Hotel, said no formal in
vitation would be sent to the Soviet

broadcasting division. Others ac-
corded fair chance of receiving less
than the maximum penalty de-
manded by the prosecutors of the
United States, Britain, France and
Russia are, in descending order OF
! chance:
Albert Speer. former armaments
minister; Baldur Won Schirach
leader of the youth movement; Erich
Raedder, commander of the German
Navy for Is years; Karl Doenitz, his
successor, who followed Hitler as
chancellor as Germany surrendered
Rudolf Hess, one time deputy Fueh-

Alfred Jodl, Wehrmacht chief of
staff and Walther Funk, who took
over the Economics Ministry from
Schacht.
Death Sentence Specula ton.
On the basis of this speculation
and that is all it is-the following
are virtually certain to die by hang
ing or the guillotine Is days after
their sentences are handed down
here:
Hermann Goering, Joachim Won
Ribbentrop, foreign minister: AL
fred Rosenberg, Nazi ideologist;
Hans Frank, who governed con-
quered Poland; Ernst Kaltenbrun-
ner, Gestapo chief; Wilhelm Frick
minister of the interior; Julius

respectively; Wilhelm Keitel, chief
of the Wehrmacht's high command
Franz Won Papen, ace Nazi diplo-
mat; Constantin Won Neurath
overseer of Bohemia -Moravia, ano
Arthur Seyss Inquart, who brought
Austria into Hitler's orbit and ruleo
the Netherlands for the Fuehrer.
Only 81 defendants will be in the
dock Monday, although the revised
indictment lists o. Martin Bor-
mann, who succeeded Hess as dep
uty party leader, is missing. He il
believed to have died in the fall o1
Berlin. Nevertheless the tribunal il
! expected 10 pronounce MS QealI
sentence Tuesday.
Trial Success PrOblematical.
The truth is that for the men WHIT
have conducted this trial its i'm
portance does not lie in the deci
sion as to what shall be done with
the collection of big and little Nazi
in the prisoners dock. The tribuna
has sought, through these defend
ants, to present the world with {
vast, documented study of the Naz
movement-a study which will maxi
people know what that movemen
did to Germany and to the world
and how it did it.
AS the trial draws to its close,
is admitted here that the success

berg, significantly, seems to hav
made its deepest impression so IA
on the defendants themselves.

Eisenhower Praises
Army in Europe for
Marvellous Work
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT. Sept. 28.- Gen.
Eisenhower came back to Germany
today for a f1rst-hand checkup on
his army of occupation and, after a
first look, declared its accomplish
ments were marvellous"
He disclosed that the Army in
Germany will be cut nearly half by
July of next year, in accordance
with long Laid plans, and spiked
reports that he might become am
bassador to Great Britain.
There is no possibility of my
ever being connected with any
political Office" he said at a news
conference.
He told correspondents "The
United States Army has never
undertaken a more difficult task
than this one it has in Central
Europe and never has it done a
better job. The job is staggering,
but the performance has been mar
velous. The results ought to make
any people proud"
The five-star general landed at
Eschborn airport with Mrs. Eisen-
hover and his son, Capt. John
Eisenhower, after flight from Eng
land and greeted his successor, Gen
Joseph T. McNarney, with Hello
Jce."
Given Her0's Welcome.
1t was his first visit to his former
headquarters in 10 months, and GIs
who still think of him as Ike, u
their wartime commander, gave him
a hero's welcome. Military bands
played, an 800-man honor guard of
parachute troopers of the 508th
Regiment stood at attention. About
1,500 other soldiers and civilians
lined the field.
Gen. Eisenhower lost no time In
pitching into his immediate mill
tary business, going to headquarters
for long talk with Gen. McNarney
He then held the news conference
at which he answered questions or
everything from relations with Rus
sia to the atom bomb.
At the outset. he said. his trip
had mo other significance except
as tour of American military in
stallations in Germany.
Asked about "the present tense
situation with Russia" Gen. Eisen.
hover told his questioner:
Naturally you would not expect
me to talk about that, but I don'i
even admit your premise"
Atomic Bomb a Revolution"
Asked if the American Army was
changing its soldier training plans
to adapt them to the atom bomb
the general said mo one is ready
today to give a concrete opinion or
what the bomb will mean in rela-
ton to numbers, organization and
equipment of armies"
THE atom bomb can scarcely
be classed as a weapon" he added
'It is revolution. believe the out
lawing of the atomic bomb would
mean the outlawing of war-which
no one supports more fervently
than l."
Army strength in Germany will
be cut to 117,000 ground forces and
38, 600 in the air forces by July /
he said. The present force is about
100000. -+ t-.-s : ~.

wrongness of the Fuehrer principle
by the time they made their final
pleas month ago.
1t seems probable, however, that
most of the meaning of the trial has
gone over the heads of the people at
large in Germany as we'll as else
where. 1t has been too difficult to
spread this over a large enough
area to be grasped by any except
those who have followed the sessions
at close hand, day after day.
But there is confidence that a
great contribution has been made to
the writing of the history of Nazi
Germany and of the Second World
War-that the terrible things proved
here will be understood and appre-
ciated sooner or later if not today.

Top Surplus Priority Given
To Educational Institutions
By the Associated Press

Reconversion Director Steelman
yesterday ordered top priorities for
channeling urgently needed surplus
laboratory and classroom equipment
to colleges and universities partici-
pating in the veterans educational
campaign.
In some instances the Federal
Works Agency will purchase equip
ment to outfit buildings which it
has made available to educational
institutions. In other cases, the
schools will get priorities for out
right purchase of equipment needed
to finish expansion programs.
Mr.. Steelman said that even this
speed-up will not meet all re-
quirements as there just is not
enough surplus equipment to go

Tomas Monte Gutierrez probably
saved him from death yesterday at
the hands of the would-be assassin,
who afterwards was strung up to a

La Razon said today.
Former 1t. Luis Oblitas Busta-

Monte as giving this version of the
affair:

tas Bustamante from police officers
near the presidential Office and that

in the regime of Gualberto Villar-

Vargas. Bolivian Ambassador to the

reports from La Paz that every
thing was quiet after the hangings.
The reaction produced as a result
of the attempt to assassinate Presi-
dent Monte Gutierrez indicates the
