Nazi Plan film haunts war crime defendants at Nurnberg
Twenty one German leaders on trial for war crimes watched a Berlin assembled documentary titled The Nazi Plan. The film replays their acts from Hitler’s rise to power through the Nazi terror, including scenes from Triumph of the Will and footage of Goebbels propaganda. Defendants reacted with mixed emotions, sometimes laughing at moments, as Hess and Keitel tapped to the march and Goering appeared younger and more gleeful.

Ottawa December 11. The Income Tax Payers Association urged sweeping changes to the income tax law before the senate committee. Proposals include higher exemptions, repeal of excess profits tax, taxation of all business incomes, abolition of the deputy minister of revenue role, and creation of a permanent independent board to handle appeals with public hearings. Prof John L McDougall estimated annual revenue losses from exemptions at 100 to 125 million dollars, listing specific large enterprises that would contribute substantial sums if taxed like other firms.
