Plea for Hess Is Made at Trial
Defense attorney Dr. Alfred Seidl argued at the international military tribunal that Rudolf Hess flew to Britain on May 10 1941 as a sacrifice for Germany and the world, claiming the mission was humanitarian and not a plan to counter Russia. He dismissed Hess as having honorary rank and no real command, while noting Hitler’s total power in Germany and breathing against criminal acts by an individual.

House Votes to Reorganize Its Operations
The House approved a sweeping reform bill by 229 to 61 to raise congressmen pay, extend pensions eligibility, and cut committees from 48 to 19 in the House and 33 to 15 in the Senate. The measure limits the pay raise to 12 500 plus a 2 500 tax free expense fund retained by the House. The Senate would raise pay to 15 000 and abolish the expense fund. Senate admin assistants would be 8 000 yearly but the House rejected that provision. The bill now goes to a House Senate conference to resolve differences before sending to President Truman.
