t How Goering Died In Cell.

NUERNBERG, Oct. 17 (U. P) — The bodies of Hermann Goering and the 10 executed Nazi war crim- | inals have been cremated. The ashes were “dispersed secretly,” it was announced officially to-

day by Col. B. C. Andrus, Nuernberg prison commandant. The announcement came little | more than 36 hours after comple- | tion of the executions and Goering’s | spectacular 11th hour suicide. The dispersal of the ashes of the cremated bodies was a measure undertaken by the allies to avert the possibility that Naz sympathizers might find the bodies ‘— even if buried in secret graves. It was feared an attempt would Ibe made to use the burial spot as |a shrine and propaganda weapon {in a revival of Naziism.

Believes Poison Long Kept There was no announcement as |to where the cremation had occurred. . No ‘official statement had been made as to whether the bodies were removed from Nuernberg prison after the execution. Col. Andrus declined to explain what the communique meant by “dispersed.” He did not say whether any last rites were accorded the ashes. \ Asked about the mystery of Goer- | ing’s suicide, he said: ! “I am of the opinion and most of | the people who had anything to de {with this are of the same opinion “# that he had had the poison in his | possession a long time.”
