Tribunal Called Upon To Convict 600,000 Nazis As War Criminals By WEB GALIiftQHER NUEHNBElia, Doc. 17 P) American pruiccutorii today called on tho Intcriiotloiinl mili tary trlbunnl to convict as war criminal! 600,000 members of nnzl leadership corps described i "tho brain, backbone and di recting arm of the nail party," Opening of a new phuso of the war crlmua trial of 21 top Hitler ite louden, the prosecution charged that thounundi of mom burs of Mich once-powerful or- fiinlzntlons an leadership corpi, he elito guard (SS) tho itorm troops (SA), the rolch cabinet, tho godlapo and tho Oernuin high coinmund should ulio be do clurod guilty ai war criminals, Jnlla of the allied powers In occupied Cormany are filled with thousand of inch minor nniln, If the six Indicted German or- Snnlzotlons are convicted of dug criminal groups, these mombors will automatically bo guilty of war crimes to varying degrees, American prosecutors declared. New Phase Col, Robert G. Storey, assist ant U. S. prosecutor, opened the new phase of the trial by produc ing records showing that tho nuzl leadership corps had ap proximately 000,000 active func tionaries, ranging from Hitler's immecllnte aides to minor block leaders whose duty, the prosecu tor clmrgod, was to spy on the . papulation." Col. Storey declared that the estimated figure of 600,000 for the membership of the nnzl lead ership corps was a "limited few, asserting that numorous minor staff officers would bring the total to aproxlmatoly 2,000, 000. tlowover, conviction of the subordinate staff officers Is not being sought by the prosecution, becuusa "their participation In and responsibility for the con spiracy were measurably less ex tensive than those of staff offi cers and office holders on higher levels of tho leadership corps." Col. Storey listed the member ship In the various categories of tho leadership corps as follows; 41 Gauleiters (district leaders); 80S Krleslcltcrs (county leaders): 28,370 Ortagruppenlelters (local firoup leaders); 89,378 Zellen eiters (cell leaders) and 403.048 block leaders, each supervising approximately 60 houses. The prosecutor charged that the relch cabinet by its decree of July 3, 1034, legalizing the party's blood purge "moved to make Itself accessories after the fact of these murders." Earlier, the prosecution dis posed the systematic plana for the stripping of food from Rus sia that would have wiped out the populations of Moscow and Stalingrad If these cities . had been conquered. Captured Plans Reading from captured Ger man plans for the conquer of Russia, the prosecution named Hermann ' Goerlna. slttlner un comfortably In the prisoners box, as the Instlgulor of a calculated starvation piun that would have cuust-d tho dcuths of "many tans of millions" of Russians. "The document reveals a pro gram of muss murder to stagger tho Imagination," one U. S. pros ecutor told the four-power trib unal'. Tho plan, druftod by Gocrlng's economic ministry in 194 1, culled for export to Germany of ovory ounce of food In tho Ukraine and other arcus. In tho food-deficient north, tho army was to seize all food for Its own uso. Another defendant, Alfred Ro senberg, administrator of tho conquered Ukraine, was quoted as saying In a speech In 1041. that ''tho lob of feeding the Gor man peoplo falls In the east, , , . We see no reason for feeding the Russian, peoplo of that area," Also 'Introduced as evidence was a Rosenborg decree ordering his subordinates to disregard Hague convention rules for treat ment of captured peoples be cause, he said, the rules "are not applicable to the Soviet Union."
