Near East, for educated Oriental
women are rare. Education for
women is almost unheard-of in
such Arab lands as Iraq, Yemen,
Alden, Morocco and Tunisia. The
choice of Mrs. Nasim for
Council scholarship was con-
sidered triumph for the
Oriental Jews of Israel. Mrs.
NaSim's son expressed it to her
in these words: "You raise not
only my head, Mother, but the
head of every Iraqi in Israel"
Mrs. Nasim is touring the West
with a fellow student, Ruth Tyne
of Jackson, Miss. During the sum-
mer, she will spend two months
working at a summer camp in the
South and then will finish her stu
dies at Tulane and do field work
in New Orleans before returning
to Israel a year hence.
In all, So scholarships have been
given to Israeli people by the

cent years.

German Cyanide Man Goes Free

Judqe Finds

L hAIN hF Oh l. J l. "A -
DR.. Gerhard Peters, whom a
local court had found to be
an impenitent Nazi who sup
piled at least 5000 pounds
of a special brand of potas-
sium in the full knowledge
that it was to be used to
asphyxiate human beings,
walked out of a court here

He was charged with collabora-
zion in the murder of at least 100000
people, most of them Jews, at the
Auschwitz death camp. He will
return to his post as a management
executive in a chemical plant near
Cologne. His trial here resulted in
acquittal and the reversal of six
previous guilty verdicts.
Judge Werner Hummerich, in his
Summation, said it was impossible
TO believe that the defendant really
thought the mass concentra alton
camp executions were legal. But,
the judge contended, no "conclu-
sive proof" existed that the Zyklon

termination" were actually put to
use in the gas chambers there.

officer in charge of potassium cya-
hide procurement, 1t Col. Ger
stein, the summation went on, de-
spite the fact that the moving con-
fession by Gerstein in 1945 before
he committed suicide did not even
claim that he had even sidetracked
any of the regular shipments from
Peters plant.
Not Even Accessory
Yet, if that were the case, the
judge went on, was Peters still not
guilty even of being an accessory
to attempted murder? The Judge
answered his own question with a
no." and went on to say that con-
viction on that ground would indeed
have been possible at the time of
the crime or even during Peters
earlier trials. But the German
penal code had been changed in
1858, Judge Hummerich pointed
out, and since that time "participa-
tion in attempted, but unsuccessful
killings" is no longer punishable.
Peters himself, in a final state
ment, said that his intention had
only been ito make possible more
humane method of killing and
that he was "upset" at the
"abuses" to which his Zyklon B
had been subjected.
A last surprise witness, DR.. Otto
Wolken, who came from Vienna at
his own expense, was heard just
before the Peters declaration was
made.
Still trembling at the pictures
conjured UP by his own testimony,
DR.. Wolken, a former camp inmate,
testified under oath that DegeSch
zyklon B cans were stored in a
special basement. AS soon as new
transports of Jewish prisoners ar
