Gen. Taylor Proposes
World Courts 10 Try
Future War Criminals
By John A. Giles

World courts should be developed
to try the war criminals of the future
in the opinion Of Brig. Gen. Telford
Taylor, chief of counsel for war
crimes in Germany.
Gen. Taylor, who returned to this
country to make a report to Secre-
tary of the Army Royal, told a
news conference at the Pentagon
that he thought such courts would
be developed and added that the
United Nations was working in that
direction.
He did not think that If this
Nation had lost the war the wartime
leaders and generals would have
been tried for dropping the atomic
bomb on Japan because the trials
now being conducted were not on
the basis of explosive power but
rather on atrocities carried out un-
der the regime and which would
have still been carried out should
their side have won."
Trials May End in June.
The chief prosecutor said he be-
lieved that if this country ever lost
a war you would find the leaders
appealing for the type of trials we
have conducted in Germany be-
cause it certainly is better to have a
trial than none at all"
The Nurnberg trials probably will
be completed in June, Gen. Taylor
said, and he then will make a final
report to Mr.. Royal. A reserve
officer and former counsel for the
Federal Communications Commits
sion, he said that his future plans
were uncertain. He expects to leave
the Army this fall. He owns home
in Chevy Chase, Md.
"The judicial proceedings in Ger
many have been conducted with the
most scrupulous regard for the
rights of the defendants and in
accordance with high standards OF
judicial procedure" Gen. Taylor de-
clared. I'm fact, there has been a
tendency to lean over backward to
be lenient with the defendants, if
anything"
Peace Seen Helped.
Asked If it would not have been
better to have had neutral judges
on the bench. Gen. Taylor pointed
out that there were few neutrals
left by the end of the war"
r "The trials have contributed to

berg proceedings.
Record Seen as Good.
''The Nurnberg record is a good
one" he declared. "We must not
provide an excuse for nl-informed
discussion of the trials by making
access to the truth difficult. From
the standpoint of fairness to the
defendants, the record is one OF
which no American citizen, and
particularly no American Judge or
lawyer, need be anything but proud. I"

they will serve greatly to keep down
future wars" he said.
Asked If the tribunals had not
set new precedents in international
law, Gen. Taylor said:
mo, no more than is generally set
by the courts"
There has been increasing in
terest in the trials in Germany, he
reported, and he recommended to

Baker Strike Averted
AS Union Accepts
15-Cent Pay Raise

A bakers strike was averted last
night when members of Local lib
of the Bakers Union voted to &C
cept a final offer" by the Employ
ing Bakers Association of a l5-
ents-an-hour wage increase.
The local took a strike vote after
three hours of discussion yesterday

the meeting, although many left be-
fore the vote.
Charles McClosky, union business
agent, said three-fourths major
ity would have been required for a
strike, but that no-strike votes were
in the majority,
I'm glad it was settled peace
ably" he said.
50 Cents Asked Originally.
The union originally asked for
a 50-cent raise, then went down to
80 cents and had indicated willing
ness to accept Is cents. The present
scale is S1.4O an hour for day work.
ers and $1.60 for night workers,
union headquarters said. The pres
ent contract expires at the end OF
this month.
Yesterday, the negotiating COM
mittee presented, without recon-
mendation either way, the employ
ers' final offer" The union officers,
including most negotiating commit
tee members, appeared to favor ac-
cepting the Is cents. although they
refused to make a specific recon-
mendation, even after the members
adopted a resolution urging the
committee to take stand for or
against strike
Some committee members told the
meeting the employers association
was determined not to give more
than IS cents, and had warned that
if the 15-cent offer were rejected,
the association would revert to its
previous offer of a 1917 cent raise.
Conference Called.
Federal Conciliator James A.
Holden had called a conference yes
terday morning with union and
management representatives.
The negotiations have been with
representatives of the big baking
companies, and not with the pie
makers or the Holmes Bakery,
largest of the independents. officials
said, however, there was a general
understanding the 15-cent figure
would apply also to the pie COM
panies and the concerns not in the
bakers association.
