Nuremberg, Oct. 1.-Ribbentrop, Sauckel and. Seyss-Inquart, who were sentenced to death at the War Crimes Trial here, are to appeal for clemency, while Keitel, former chief of the High Command, will appeal for death by shooting instead of hanging, according to the United States News Service in Germany to-night. Hess's counsel will ask that his client's sentence of life imprisonment be quashed, and Doenitz will also appeal against his prison term of ten years.
The executions will be carried out in
Nuremberg on October 16.
