Battle Dress Hid In Cattle Stall

Jerusalem, July 5.

The British Army announced today that another large cache of munitions and a “large quantity of British battle dress" has been uncovered in the Jewish settlement of Mesheq Yagur. ‘Bri- tish troops have been searching the settlement since Saturday and previously reported the unearthing of large quantities of contraband munitions.

During last night's search, 40,000 rounds of small Arms

INUERNBERG DEFENCE SUMMARIES OPEN

Nuernberg, July 5.

Laying the entire guilt for Germany's aggression upon Adolf Hitler, 20 Nazi wartime leaders opened their final plea yesterday for acquittal before the International Military Tribunal trying them on charges of war crimes.

Professor Hermann Jahreiss presented the first of the defence summaries, a treatise on interna- tional and German law, which in summary challenged the charter setting up the interna- tional frials. Jahreiss contended:

(1) Breach of peace is a mat- ter between States, and Indivi- iduals cannot be tried and sen- tenced for it under existing laws.

(2) All Germans were simply obeying their own country's laws when they, followed Ifitler into war.
