this out when he encountered
Gov. Williams in Detroit in
July, 1859.
Gov. Williams said he had a
'knockdown and drag out

The Governor is not too well
acquainted with international
politics and he Is not too cor

For Former High Nozi

JERUSALEM, May "a (AP)
Adolf Eichmann, former Nazi
ofncial charged with extermi-
mating 8 million Jews, win be
allowed a German or Austrian
lawyer to defend him before
an Israeli court. But officials
said today the lawyer must
have no Nazi record.
Legal experts said Israel may
seek the death penalty for the
54-year-old war criminal. The
Israeli secret service had been
hunting him abroad for IA
years. His capture was an
nounced by Premier David
Ben-Gurion in Parliament yes
terday.
Eichmann was brought to a
court in Jaffa yesterday and
arraigned. Police declined to
disclose in what prison he is
being held. but said a select de-
tail of policemen has been as
signed to guard him.
Captive Details Withheld
The big question about Eich-
mann's capture is how the Is
raelis managed it. Police de-
clined to give details, but it was
believed he was caught in some
other country and brought
here.
Ofncials let it be known that
he was not extradited by any
other country from the place
where he was captured.
Eichmann was reported to
have been seen in Kuwait, a
Persian Gulf sheikdom, six
months ago, but officials de-
MED he was seized there.
The capture won unusual
praise in Parliament for the Sc
curity service. Meir Argov,
chairman of the Foreign At
fairs Committee. said this was
the FIRST time in history that
an arch enemy of the Jews had
been brought before the bar of
Jewish justice - and this
thanks only to the existence of
the Jewish state"
Readily Admitted Identity
The Justice Ministry said
Eichmann readily admitted
his identity and asked for legal
counsel. Mr.. Ben-Gurion said
he would be tried under terms
of Israel's law covering Nazis
and their collaborators.
