 NUREMBERG, Germany, Feb 19. --lR-Field Marshal Wilhelm List, grim-lipped Prussian of the old German officer school, was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity today by an American Tribunal.

 The American war crimes court ruled that some of the 63,00O killings for which the group was held respon- sible was plain murder.
 It added that hostages may be slain by on occupation force to maintain order under International Law, This may be done, however, only if the individuals selected for death bear some relation to the crime committed against the occu- ration forces, the court ruled. In those cases there was no such re- lation.
 The court held that the right to execute hostages has been recognized by many nations as the only way an occupying army can protect it. self against partisan attacks.
 Gen. Walter Kuntze, one of Lists army group chiefs, also was found guilty by the tribunal, which ruled in the course of it's final judgment that these men should have known tetter than to carry out orders to slaughter hostages teyond the limits allowed by military law
 In the trial, the records showed that Lists armies killed hundred Serbs or Greeks for each German soldier killed by partisans. And al least 50 for each NaZi wounded.

NEGOTIATIONS ON WAGES BROKEN OFF WITH SALMON IND.

SEATTLE, Feb 19.---tR--A union representative announed here today that several unions have broken off wage negotiations with the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc.
 I. A. Sandvigen business agent for the International Association of Machinssts und) said the unions breaking off parleys repre- sent 95 percent Of the 25,00o work CTS in the industry
 Two weeks ago about a dozen unions advised the Alaska Salmon Industry that action would be talk en today unless the industry recognized Local No ' of the Cannery Wrokers Union (CIO) as bargaining agent for about 3,oC0 workers who go north each season.
 Sandvigen said representatives of the unions met today and still lacking recognition of Local ', de- cided to halt negotiations.
 The Alaska. Salmon Industry de- clared it had neither refused nor granted recognition of Local T as bargaining agent. It said it had asked the unlon group to reconsid- CT its ultimatum, pending decis- ion by the industry's board of di- rectors.
 Sandyigen said the unions re- fused to extend the time limit.
 The industry has said that fail- ure to recognize Local was due to the filing of claim to the cannery workers bargaining rights by the Seafood Workers Union.
 The National Labor Relations Board, with which the claim was filed, has not ruled in this dispute.
 The salmon fishing season is scheduled to start in a couple of months.
