Jackson, chief U. S.| prosecutor opening America’s case against the 20 Nazi war lords facing the International War Crimes Tri- bunal, said today the Germans planned as far back as 1940 to at- tack the United States. He said Nazi records also diselosed that| the Japanese planned to assassi-| nate Soviet Marshal Stalin in 1940, through the use of Russian traitors. In rapid fire order the 20 once- powerful war lords pleaded inno- cent to charges of engulfing the world in a bloodbath. Jackson promised in his opening 20,000- | word statement to the court that| the defendants would be convicted | by the Nazis’ own meticulously kept ! records. The court knocked the main de-‘ fense prop from under the Nazi| chieftains when it abruptly denied their claims that they could not be tried for war guilt under exist- ing international law.
