Before War, Trial Shows

NUREMBERG, ( J T A ) —
American prosecutors at the
war crimes trial presented fur-
ther evidence of Nazi plans to
exterminate the Jews, including
secret records of a conference of
Nazi leaders on Oct. 14, 1938, at
which Goering ordered them "to
tackle the Jewish problem now,
using all methods."
Among other instructions is-
sued by Goering at this confer-
ence, held almost a year before
the outbreak of the war, was
the confiscation "by all means
possible" of all Jewish property
in Austria, which he said was
worth 2,000,000,000 marks. He
also urged that ghettos be estab-
lished for Jews in the larger
cities. Others present agreed
that "leniency should not be ex-
ercised in the fight against the
Jews" and suggested that spe-
cial Jewish labor units be set up.
Julius Streicher told Ameri-
can correspondents that he has
decided that there are three
Jews among the judges on the
international military tribunal. "I
have been tried in the same
court room before," he remarked
sarcastically. "This is all old
stuff."
Major William Walsh, in
charge of the division dealing
with the section of the indict-
ment covering "crimes against
humanity," told a correspond-
ent of the JewiSh Telegraphic
Agency that the evidence ,of.
anti-Jewish atrocities cited so
far does not even scratch the
surface, and that more mate-
rial will be presented at subse-
quent sessions.
