An Equal Opportunity Employer Attorney for Hess plans to sue Carter United Press International AUSTIN — Nazi Germany dep uty fuehrer Rudolf Hess celebrated his 85th birthday Thursday alone in side Spandau prison in Berlin while his attorney in Texas said he plans to sue President Carter if no action is taken to free the ailing war criminal. Merrell Frazer Jr. of Austin has worked at Hess’ family request for four years to free the last prisoner of World War II. Frazer said he has sent a letter to Carter urging him to assert America’s influence to obtain Hess’ release and threatening to file a writ of mandamus against Carter if FOR A SUGAR FREE LUNCH Come to the most complete salad bar in Texas in the Sbisa Dining Cen ter Basement. Open 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday he does not. “The time has come, Mr. Presi dent, to release this man on our own volition and to regain our sovereign rights in Berlin which so recklessly have been eroded away by inaction, indecision and ineptitude,” Frazer said in the letter. Frazer said that against Nurem berg regulations and Berlin pro tocol, Hess is being held in solitary confinement — only being allowed to see one visitor for 30 minutes each month. ' The attorney added that Hess is allowed to watch any communist televison news programs he wishes to see, but all three major Western television news programs. Western newspapers and mail are censored. Frazer said the United States, France and Great Britain have*pub licly declared that they are willing to release Hess for humanitarian rea sons — besides his age, Frazer said Hess suffers from cancer, mental illness and has tried to commit suicide three times. The Soviet Union has vetoed Hess’ release, claiming he repre sents the last vestiges of facism. Other Nazi war criminals sentenced to life imprisonment, including Hi tler’s architect, Albert Speer and Hitler’s successor. Grand Admiral Carl Doenitz, have been released. Frazer charged that the Soviet Union refuses to release Hess be cause he knows too much about the secret annex to the Soviet-German non-aggression pact. “Did you know that Nazi Ger many and Soviet Russia were allies during the first 22 months of World War II?,” Frazer asked. “Also, Russia doesn’t want the WQrld to remember their infamous Katyn Forest massacre when they systematically murdered 11,000 Polish Army officers,” he added. Frazer admitted that the release of Hess would not be a politically popular move with some Jewish people in the country or from com munist countries around the world, but he said many of his Jewish friends have also called for Hess’ re lease. He said the International Military Tribunal, which sentenced Hess to life imprisonment for crimes against peace, disbanded years ago and there is no other court of interna tional law to which the Hess case could be appealed.
