Allied Disagreement Delaying War Trials American Plan For Trial Not Accepted Washington, May 23 —(UP! — Allied disagreement is delaying the trials of top Nazis, it was learned today. A highly reliable source said (he other United Nations have not yet accepted the American plan to try chief Nazi offenders before an international military tribunal. This source was confident that agreement would be forthcoming but could not predict when the I trials might begin. He confirmed reports that Great Britain has expressed | strong opposition to the American plan for a military tribunal. British officials, he said, prefer an agreement to punish Nazi war 'criminals by means of political "treaty decisions" among the United Nations concerned. Earlier reports of Britain's attitude said British authorities feared military trials might produce evidence embarrassing to some political elements. This source had nothing to say regarding reasons for the British stand. The U. S. plan for a military tribunal was handed to United Nations diplomats at San Francisco by Judge Samuel Rosenman, White House adviser, earlier this month. It applied only to top Nazi criminals — those Whose crimes can not be pinned to a specific geographical location — and to Nazi organizations such as the gestapo and Nazi party. Before the American plan was presented formally to the other United Nations President Truman appointed supreme court justice t Robert H. Jackson as United States war crimes prosecutor. Mr. Truman expressed the hope that Nazi criminals would he tried and punished by next October. It was pointed out that Jackson’s appointment was announced by President Truman in the hope that other United Nations would appoint similar prosecutors, thus taking the first major step toward actual punishment of Nazi criminals. CHURCHILL IS (Continued From Page One)

Il was just a little more than five years ago that he was sumby the king to the palace to form a new government to supplant that of Neville Chamber- I lain. Then the German armies were I invading Belgium and Holland ■ and striking toward Franfe* ; Within the next few weeks, they i overran both Belgium and Hol- j land and France surrendered. The British expeditionary force escaped from Dunkerque, but Britain stood alone against Germany with only enough arms for a single division. Churchill rallied the empire behind the cry, j "We shall not flag or fail," and carried on to final victory in Europe and the middle-east. By the time Churchill emerged from the palace shortly before 1 a. m today, a smalt crowd had gathered and cheered as his car passed through the gates. At Blackpool, the labor party was putting into words its differences with the conservative party majority on British foreign policy. which, however, is expected to be a minor issue in the campaign compared with domestic questions. ARMY READY TO (Continued From Page One) City due to backing up of goods in local railroad terminals. Increasingly serious was the shortage of food, drugs and other merchandise on retailors' shelves.

RIDDLE RESIGNS AS •' (Continued From Pate On» the Biddle resignation It wag fully expected, however, that the resignation will be accepted. Ross said the Biddle resignation was submitted along with all other cabinet resignations to President Truman shortly after he took office. It is customary for all cabinet officers to eubmit their resignations with a change of administration. Biddle’s resignation and the president’s determination to accept it have been rumored here for some time. Former Sen. Louis B Schwellenbach, now a federal district judge in Washington state, has been mentioned among others as a probable successor to Biddle. Schwellenbach was in Washington and saw Mr. Truman two weeks ago. Since then he has returned to Spokane. It was realiably reported that he returned to clean up the docket of his federal district court preparatory to returning to Washington to accept a post in the Truman administration. Ever since Mr. Truman became president on April 12. it has been believed here that among the first cabinet members to go would be the attorney general. One cabinet change already has been formally determined. On June 30 postmaster general Frank Walker will be succeeded by Democratic national chairman Robert E. Hannegan.
