Church ill, . Testify

By NOPAND NORGAARD

NUERNBrlHG, Feb. 24 - (AP) -'l'wo of Hltlers ma!» asked Saturday that Winston Churchill and Edouard Duladler be sum- moned to testify that Nazi leaders hadtricd to prevent war. and quoted MrﬂChurzthlll as having de- clared thas "England would des- trov Germany if she should become too strong.”

Through octmsel. Hennsnn Cicer- lhd and Joachin von Rtibbentrop requested the International Mill.- tary ‘Pribunal to bring 54 persons including the lormer British and French prime minister, to Nucm- berg as defence witnesses 1n the war crimes trial 22 ranking Ne: . .

Goeringhcounsel is expected to open the first case for the defence within 10 days. .

Ribbentrops request said he had talked with Mr. Churchill at un unspecified time in the 1030's “about the necessity of the crea- tion of friendly relations between Germany and England."

He said he told Mr. Churchill that “a strong Germany, which was now about to become n rezlb, ity, representcd the strongcs; slip-i port for England's Emplr "

"At that time." Ribbentrops re- quest continued, “Churchill re-

lied to these statements that

ngland was intelligent and ox- perienccd enough to get other pow- ers on England's side if Germany should become too strong. Op this ocasslon, Churchill stated uwmisﬂ tekably that England would des- troy Germany lf she should become ton strong."

Dr. Otto Stahmer, counsel for Goerinrz, said the defence would} attempt tn prove that Goerlng had tried until the last minute to avert war with Britain in 1939.

Defence counsel also challenged the prosecution's charge that Ger- manv had violated the Versailles ‘Ireaty, and demanded an oppor- tunity to seek to prove that Ger- man infractions of the treaty were in “retaliatlon" for those‘ by Al- lied powers. ;
