New Suit Filed Here 10 Save
Seven Germans From Moose

Another attempt to save seven
Germans convicted of war crimes
from being hanged was made in
District Court yesterday.
Earlier habeas corpus actions
have failed. However, Attorney
Warren E. Magee. in two suits
filed yesterday, approached the
matter from new angles.
The suits ask for an interpreta-
ton of the United Nations Charter,
related treaties and executive
compacts. They were filed in be-
half of three generals, a colonel,
lieutenant-colonel, a sergeant
and an adjutant.
The suits contend that the state
of war between the United States
and Germany ended March 81,
when the United States recognized
the Federal Republic of Germany.
They declare that. when this
country recognized the German
republic. the Bonn Constitution
prohibiting capital punishment in
Germany became effective and
that, therefore, the seven Ger
mans may not be executed.
Those for whom the suits were
filed are Gen. Oswald Pohl, Brig.
Gen. Erich Naumann, Col. Paul
Blobel, 1t. Col. Werner Braune,
Maj. Gen. Otto Ohlendorf, Sergt.

decides to 90 aUdy for a tDhile,
leaving her In charge OF the
business. When he is gone she
DISCOVERS he has torn an item,
from the morning paper.
Sherry took the torn paper and
locked it In file. She wondered
If she would ever want it again.
Then she locked the Office and
went over to the newsstand in
the little business center on Holly
street to buy another newspaper.
Without looking on page 8 she
hurried back to the Office, spread
the paper out on her desk and
found the item she was looking
for.
It was the only item in column
8 on page 8. Below 1t were ads.
Page was an entire advertise
ment. If her father had intended
her to find the item he couldn't
have pointed it out more plainly.
But, of course. he hadn't. In
his nervous state he had torn out
the column without thinking
Sherry would find the torn paper.
The story dealt with the death
of woman, Elaine Curtis, so. She
had been found dead in the street,
evidently the victim of hit-and-
run driver.
The paper stated that the po-
lice had found no witnesses to
the accident. and had no clues
to the driver of the death car.
From the condition of her body
1t was evident. the article stated,
she had been hit by a car. An
autopsy was to be held.
Sherry sat staring at the paper.
Elaine Curtis. She was sure she
had never heard the name.
How could this fatal traffic ac-
eident affect her father so?
Certainly he could not have
been involved in it. Their car had
not been out of the garage for
three days. Her father had not
been out of the apartment the
night before.
That eliminated the possibility
Of his having been involved.
