Many Nazis Must

Telford Taylor, chief counsel for
the American war crimes courts,
said today between 250 and 500
former Nazi military, industrial,
financial and governmental lead
ers would be arraigned in a series
of trials expected to last at least
through 1947.
Taylor told a news conference
the defendants would include top
officials of I. G. Farben, giant
chemical and industrial combine,
and “some one” from the Krupp
munitions wrorks.
Friedrich (Fritz) Thyssen, pre
war head of big armament and
steel works, is “under study like
anyone else,” Taylor said- How
ever, other official sources indi
cated that Thyssen would not be
tried, saying he was not in Ger
many during the war.
Taylor said most of those want
ed for trial were in American cus
tody, but that some might be
brought in from other zones.
No plans have been made for
additional joint war crimes trials
with other Allies, although provi
sion is made for such action if it
proves desirable, Taylor said.
The trials will begin next month
with the arraignment of the 23
German doctors charged with in
human experiments.

Britain to Publicize
Outbreaks In
Palestine
LONDON, </P)—Colonial secre
tary Arthur Creech Jones told the
House of Commons today that
Britain would publicize in Amer
ica details of new Palestinian out
breaks which he termed “abom
inations and cold blooded out-'
rages.” •
“I should like to express the ab
horrence which I am confident
the House feels at these abomina
tions and cold blooded outrages i
and our keen realization of the
trials and dangers which beset
troops, police, administration and j
indeed all concerned with the
maintenance of law and order in |
Palestine,” Creech Jones declared.
Laborite Tom Driberg asked the i
Colonial Secretary whether the j
foreign office “will see the facts
of this situation are made widely |
known in New York, where there
is intensive propaganda not only
on behalf of the Zionist cause but j
actually on behalf of the terror- j
ists.”
“We are alive to that,” Creech
Jones replied, “and that will be:
done.”

Charges Made In
Maritime Strike
SEATTLE. pP) — Charges and
denials continued back and forth
in the Pacific Northwest maritime
tieup last night with Burt Nelson
northwest chairman for the strik
ing CIO union’s committee for
maritime unity, accusing the wa
terfront employers association
with “conspiring to close down
operation of the (Seattle* port of
embarkation.”
The CMU chairman said the as
sociation was seeking to provoke
the longshoremen to stop work
“by withholding the retroactive
pay due October 30 under terms
of the June 15 settlement.” He
said the employers were acting
upon advice from Frank P. Foisie,
San Francisco, head of the Pacific
Coast Waterfront Employers As
sociation.
M. G. Ringenburg, president of
the Washington waterfront em
ployers association, promptly
branded the charges as “ridicu
lous” and said delay in making
the payment was due to an error
by one of the companies in mak
ing out its payroll.

Britain Blasts
Russian Standing,
War-Basis Army
LONDON, i/P)—Winston Chur
chill and Prime Minister Attlee
captured Britain’s headlines today
with almost simultaneous verbal
blasts against Russia in what ap
peared to be shaping up as a solid
British front against Communism.
Churchill told his constituents
in suburban Loughton last night
that he had “facts” and “evi
dence” to support his suggestion
—made in the form of a question
before the House of Commons
Wednesday — that the Soviet
Union now has 200 divisions—
more than 2,000,000 men—on a
full war footing in Russian-occu
pied eastern Europe.
He lauded Attlee’s speech be
fore the Trades Union Congress at
Brighton earlier in the day in
which the prime minister bluntly
accused Soviet leaders of erecting
a “wall of ignorance and suspi
cion” between the Russian people
and the rest of the world.
“The fact that the British gov
eminent have decisively broken
with the Communists and are
fronted with them, although it
does not immediately affect the
course of affairs in this island,”
said Churchill,” has an important
and beneficial result abroad, be
cause there are countries on the
Continent—like France — quiver
ing under the Cammunist at
tacks.”
He said his Wednesday speech
should be regarded a> “a serious
warning,” and added:
“I did not ask the question
(about Russian forces) without
weighing very carefully the whole
matter and without consulting
others, my friends and colleagues,
and laying before them the evi
dence on which I proceeded.
“Nor did I ask the question
without informing the government
beforehand of my intentions, but
you can take it from me that the
facts I adduced are correct.”
