Prosecution Rests Sass Against Nazis

BE CHAR-LII CHAMZR

LAIN BED Feb. 1!- (AP)-

' All"!!! prosecutors rested their case

against 22 to Nazis late t after the Inger-national Mlllirryy Tribunal earlier had denied de- fence motions to brln Winston Churchill and Edouar Daiadler into court as witnesses.

The defence for the Nazi hierar- chy is expected to open its case Monday,

Three months of Allied prose- cution ended with a Leningrad orient charging-the Germans with wanton destruction of Russian cathedrals and terroristic religious persecution.

The tribunal will hear argu- ments tomorrow on the legal as- pects of a prosecution attempt to try six Nazi organizations as crim- inal cups. These are the Ger- man l h Command, the Gestapo, the Bech Cabinet, the Storm Troops (E.A.). the Elite Guard (8.8) and the Leadership Co s.

In rejecting Joachim von {Rib- bentrop’s re uest for Mr. Church- ill, M. Dela ier and other British and French witnesses, the tribunal said: "It appears that their testi- mon would be irrelevant or cum- ulat ve."

Rlbbentropb counsel asserted that Mr. Churchill, before the war. said at the German Embassy in

London that Britain might destroy o

the Reich, and that the statement had prompted Adolf Hitler into ag resaive acts.

e tribunal rejected 22 of the 38 witnesses requested by Ribbon-

iro . His counsel was allowed to see written interrogations from Lord Londonderr, Lord Bean/er-

brook and Lord anslttart. Nicholas Lomakin, 56, dean of Leningrad churches-wearing a black velvet robe, two crucifixcs arid a Leningrad Defence Medal- provided the dramatic finale of

tn prosecution's case, which be,

Government Negligence Scored In Legislature By Opposition Leader

Failure of the Jonas Government to provide for staffing the new Provincial Sanaiorlum wing was strongly scored in the Legislature yesterday by Hon. Dr. W. J. P. MaoMilian, 0.310., leade of the Opposition, who elicited t e state- ment from Premier Jones that the wing has been ready for occupan- cy for the ast three months, but is not yet lied with patients.

"The doctors," Premier Jones maintained, "can't find the stuff."

"This is an extraordinary confes. sion," Dr. MacMillan replied. "Who is responsible?"

Hc was speaking in the debate on the Draft Address, in which he followed the mover and secondcr.

Bsville. He moved the adjournment st 6 p.m., after which the House adjourned until 3 p.m. today. "We provided the bulldingflPz-e- mier Jones countered. “What. more ‘can, we do? Why don't you stat!

_'_‘Why ask ma?" said the Oppo- sition leader. "If I were in your position I would see that it was staffed. I say your Gwemment has fallen down in its dilty. Why haven't you anticipated lthe open- ing of this wing Why haven't you sent some nurses away‘ to get some est-graduate training? This wing as been three years in building, and now you are uaught without a etafl. That ls the wor! confession of all."

Premier Jones: “Do you pro- pose ihal. we fire the Commission that is in charge and take it over?"

Dr. MacMlllan: “You are pass- ing the blame on to the Commis- sion now."

Premier Jones: "I suggest they are in charge."

Dr. Mac-Milieu: "There is a Gov- ernment and a Commission and there is a Sanatorium out there ready equipped and not occu icd: and there is a diagnostic chic going round this province and when their task la completed at least between.‘ . M.

Premier Jones: “Not all at the Sanatorium, though."

Dr. MscMillan: “Granted; but there is negligence, and you are responsible.

Premier Jones: “Not after the Government built that building."

Dr. MacMillan: “Then whose re- sponsibility is it? There 1s neglb- gence somewhere. Who is go tlg to acce t it?"

Pram er Jone-s: "Not I.”

Dr. MacMillan: “There lg not s Minister of Public Health now. I say that this is a most disgraceful state of affairs. We had better ask some formal questions and get formal answers as to what efforts have been made. Is it the Com- mission that provides the nurses?" Premier Jones: “Yes, I think so." Dr. MacMilbant "Is it the Com- mission that provides the doctors?" Premier Jones: "No, we provide the doctors." _ _

Dr. MacMilian: "But you don't

provide the nurses." . Premier Jones: “We leave that to the Commission.” Dr. MacMlllan: ‘That is where we come to a fiasco. You can't accept responsibility for the men and leave the women out.
