He was escorted by an army guard, a medical officer. an attendant and an otuciai o: the Lnited Aauons warenmes commission. His departure was one of a swift series of events clearing the way for the mass trials of axis war criminals at Neuern burg. Allied officers were con ferring at Berlin on plans for the trials and the first formal indictments were expected to be returned Tuesday or Wed nesday. Francis Biddle, V. S. member of the war crimes com mi.--ion, ar- of the war crimes commission, and Judge John Parker, his al ternate, arrived in Southampton Sunday aboard the Queen Mary. Shawcro-s said Martin Bor mann, Hess' succe-sor as Adolph Hitler's right hand man, also wa listed in the preliminary to the first indictment. Be said Hitler himself was not listed and the missing Bormann was because there is "little reason to believe that Bormann might be dead.'"
