WAITING NAZIS

SUPERMEN BROUGHT LOW

LONDON, July 22,

The dreaded figures of the Nazi hierarchy, Ribbentrop, Goenng, Keitel, Doenitz, Streicher, Ley, and Frank, now stripped of their plumage, bear little resemblance to the supermen who tried to rule the world, as they await trial in the formerly fashionable Palace Hotel, Mondorf, Luxemburg, says the British Associated Press correspondent. . Ribbentrop, the Reich's sauve Foreign Minister, who drifted through the most elite diplomatic salons, now occupies a bare single room on the fourth floor of the hotel, where he sleeps on a straw mattress. One razor blade is issued to him when he wants a shave, but it is taken away as soon as he has used it. Ribbentrop is responsible for tidying up his own room, and the officers report that he is -om across the SStSffi .?B»*S him o bfThi Chief of the German General Staff, is recorded m the prison books as the most exemplary internee. His quarters are spick and span. Dr Funk, former president of the Reich Bank, who is among the 52 Nazi leaders detained, lectured his companions on the importance of papei currency, describing its innovation. as one of the world's most.significant inVeThe "aristocratic Nazi prisoners refuse to eat with Streicher, and shun Ley and Frank also because they have certain personal eccentricities. The glass has been removed from all the hotel windows and replaced with an unbreakable substitute, as a piecaution against suicide.
