Nazis Are Found Guilty; Most Of 21 Face Dea

Conviction by World Court Clears Way for Allies to Try Thousands of Germans

By EDWARD W. BEATTIE . United Press Staff Correspondent

NUERNBERG, Sept. 30 (U, P.).—The international war crimes court today convicted Adolf Hitler's Germany of the crime of aggressive war and of crimes against humanity and clearly doomed the 22 defendants, including the absent Martin Bormann, to a verdict of guilty. Most, if not all, of the defendants, the court seemed to make plain from the strength of its denunciation of their crimes, will be sentenced to die. Sentences will be ane nounced tomorrow, The court found that the Gestapo, the Nazi S. S. and S. D. and the top group‘of the Nazi Leadership corps to be criminal groups, thus opening the way to trial and convice tion of thousands of Germans connected with these organise zations. : The justices of Russia, France, Britain and the United States, however, declined to render a group verdict of guilt against the German high command, the Reich cabinet and the S. A. brownshirts although it denounced members of these groups in angry terms. Defends Court's Powers Long before the court adjourned for the day after reads ing 177 pages of the 250-page verdict the judges had made clear from passage after passage that the Nazi defendants had been found guilty of numerous crimes listed in the ine dictment. “To assert that it is unjust to punish those who in defi ance of treaties and assurances have attacked neighboring states without warning is obviously untrue,” the court held in a section of its opinion read by Judge Francis Biddle, American member of the tribunal. - “Hitler could not make aggressive war by himself.
