UP The United States Army imposed a news blackout tonight over the heavily guarded Nuernberg courthouse and jail. This was after a tense day during which defense attorneys pressed final pleas to save Adolf Hitler's doomed henchmen from the igno-minity of the gallows. A four-power commission, meeting in the courthouse, drew up its recommendations on details of the scheduled hangings October 16 of Hermann Goering and 10 other top-ranking Nazis convicted yesterday. Attorneys File Appeals The recommendations, which also dealt with the confinement of seven other Nazis sentenced to prison terms, will be rushed to Berlin for approval of the Allied Control Council. The news clanvpdown obscured happenings within the prison, where unusual precautions were reported taken to prevent suicide by any of the Nazis.

Attorneys for all of the defendants sentenced to death filed appeals with the Allied Control Council to commute the sentences. It was believed, however, that the appeals would be denied. The lawyers said that if the council rejected the commutation pleas, they would ask that all the doomed prisoners be granted the last request of dying before a firing squad, rather than on the gallows. Security Guard Doubled The American Army doubled its security guard and gave orders to shoot to kill at any provocation. One rumor was that each condemned Nazi had been ordered handcuffed to a military policeman continuously until the executions.

German civil authorities were reported to have filed petitions asking for the custody of Schacht, Von Papen and Fritzsche, so that the trio could be brought before German denazification boards and sentenced to prison. The French-licensed newspaper "Kurier," published in Berlin, said demonstrators in the Russian sector of Berlin protested that the war crimes verdicts were too mild.

A Jewish Agency spokesman said postponement of the conference "makes absolutely no difference to us. It seems to us the British would have to talk 'separately with the Arabs and Jews anyway.
