A warning that public complacency after the conclusion of the present Nuremberg trial of Nazi war criminals would allow thousands of war criminals to escape punishment was delivered last night by Lt. Col. William F. Walsh, special assistant to Prosecutor Jackson, at a dinner in his honor tendered by the American Jewish Congress in the St. Moritz Hotel.
Col. Walsh, who was in charge of gathering and presenting the evidence of crimes against humanity and crimes against the Jews, paid tribute to the help given him in Nuremberg by Dr. Jacob Robinson, executive director of the Institute of Jewish Affairs of the American Jewish Congress. Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of the Congress, thanked Col. Walsh “in the name of American Jewry” for his work at Nuremberg.
