International: Cartoon In Words

David Low, the London Evening Standard's great cartoonist, last week wired the New York Times his impressions of the "rather inadequate" and "much too small" men in the dock at Nürnberg. He proved that he is also a cartoonist in words:

Göring. "Stands out by a mile as the boss in this company. He is a restless prisoner, leaning this way and that, flapping his pudgy little hands about, patting his hair, stroking his mouth, massaging his cheeks, resting his chin sideways on the ledge of the dock."

Hess. "Vic Oliver [Churchill's son-in-law] made up as Boris Karloff and painted the color of a corpse. . . . Down to skin and bone, going bald, wild eyes set in deep-sunken cavities, he has a nervous twitch and jerky movements."

Streicher. "Good Lord! Is that him? No loathesome ape, but another little man with another nervous twitch. He has a trick of throwing his head right back and contemplating the ceiling with an air of preoccupation with Higher Things."

Ribbentrop. "In London . . . a bouncing bounder. . . . Here he is now, changed surprisingly into a meek person like a family solicitor, with disordered hair, pursed lips and large spectacles."

Funk. "With the earphones clamped like horns to the fat, sick face sagging into the small, dumpy body, he is the perfect model for a gargoyle. In color he is light green."
