GERMAN TRIALS COME CLOSER HOME
LONDON,' Dec. ho. v The Germans are expected to take a greater interest in tlie prpceed.ings of trials of menibers of Nazi organisations than they did in the Xureinberg trial, says tlie Daily Telegraph 's Berlin eorresjiondent. Defendants will not be remote per.sonalities but husbands, sons and even a few wives and daughters in families- well known in the localities in which the trials will take place. About 150 tribunals will start sittiugs in February and thereafter the Germans will be bringing their fellow countrvmen to postwar justice on an immense scale in the British zone throughout 1947 and far into 194S. Bo that the tribunals may function w.ith full vigour, the military governor, Sir Sholto Douglas, has classed members as heavy workers with the apjprojrriate ' daily ration and also ordered additional rations for 1000 German civil servants and otliers involved in extra work for the tribunals. The correspondent adds that the fines imjiosed will help reduce Ihe cost of proceedings to the German taxpayers.
