lO-Yeur Program
To Fight Pollution
By the Associated Press

The House Public Works
Committee today approved a
81 billion, 10-year program
aimed at cleaning up the Ma
tion's rivers and harbors.
1t doubles the amount of
Federal money presently au-
thorized for construction of
sewage treatment plants and
other antipollution measures.
Committee aides said the bill
authorizing expenditures of
500 million yearly for 10 years
is in line with President
Kennedy's recommendations.
Mr.. Kennedy never fixed a
price tag for his antipollution
program, although he favored
adoption of a bill "along the
lines" of one introduced by
Representative Blatnik, Demo-
crat of Minnesota, calling for
$125 million yearly for 10 years.
Present law calls for annual
expenditures of $50 million.
Senator Kerr, Democrat of
Oklahoma, has introduced a
bill in the Senate calling for
spending $75 million yearly on
pollution abatement.
The House committee also
raised from $250,00O to $780,
900 the amount of Federal
money that could be spent in
any one community under the
program.

money can be given only to in

Labor Pact
Agreed On
At Firestone

CLEVELAND, April 18 (AP)
-NegotiatorS for the United
Rubber Workers Union and the
FireStone Tire & Rubber Co.
agreed today on a new master
contract to replace one that
expired at midnight Saturday.
Details of the settlement,
which affects some 1900
workers in eight cities, were not
announced but it was reported
similar to one reached with the
Goodyear Tire g. Rubber Co.
Saturday night.
Talks with Goodyear and
Firestone began March 20.
Union locals at plants Of both
firms had voted strike authority
to the unions executive COM
mittee.
Following the Goodyear
agreement Saturday night, a
union spokesman said negotia-
tors had reported sufficient
progress in the Firestone talks
to warrant continuing talks
without a strike.
A major feature Of the new
two-year agreement with Good
year is an extension of supple
mental unemployment benefits
to conform with the recent ex-
tension Of State unemployment
compensation benefits as pro-
vided in the Federal Unem-
ployment Act. Maximum ben
efits also were increased under
the supplemental program.

accord to a single one Of his
victims; the right to defend
himself.
And the judges of Israel will
pronounce a true and righteous
judgment on him"
Holland Norway Den
mark Belgium France
Italy Yugoslavia !
Romania Bulgaria i
Greece even Luxembourg
and little Monaco.
In each of these, Mr.. Haus-
ner itemized the Nazi persecu-
ton of the Jews and Eich-
mann's alleged part in it. Again
and again he quoted from let
ters and statements by the ac-
cused man, or the words of
Jews with whom he had deal
ings.
The pattern in each nation
was much the same.
First, the enactment Of laws
that not only deprived the Jews
of ordinary civil rights but even
forbade them to use public
transportation, ride bicycles, or
use the telephone.
"The Final Solution"
appropriation of their prop
erty generally followed. And
then, as "the final solution of
the Jewish problem" moved
into its last stage, the deporta-
tions to death camps began.
Mr.. Hausner paid high tribute
to the people and governments
Of Holland, Italy. Denmark,
and Sweden. In each,
he said, the authorities opposed
the Nazis' anti-Jewish program
and people risked their lives to
hide Jews and then to smuggle
them to safety.
The Attorney General dwelt
at length on the events of 1914
in Hungary. He had several
telling reasons for this:
/. The Hungarian govern
ment resisted Nazi efforts to
follow the usual pattern of ac-
ton against the 100000 Hun
garian Jews.
2. The Nazis by that late
date no longer believed they
could win the war, Soviet
armies having advanced to the
Carpathian Mountains, land
there was need for great haste
If the determination of the
Jews was to be completed in
time"
3. Eichmann's boss, Heinrich
Himmler, ordered him to stop
sending the death trains from
Hungary Ito the east" But
Hausner said Eichmann, in his
determination to carry out the
annihilation of such a large
Jewish. population, disobeyed
the order.
Determination Pictured
BY detailing the events in
Hungary, Mr.. Hausner thus
sought to show Eichmann was
not just the impersonal execu-
tive carrying out orders but
that he was fiercely deter
mined to destroy the Jews and
actually exceeded his orders.

act over and above any instruc-

Here, we have the example Of
his satanic initiative"
1t was in his descriptions Of
the death-camps, and the
minute closeupS Of the fate
of individuals, that Hausner
sketched the most fearful Sec
tionS Of his picture.
He spoke Of Maidanek-18,-
900 deaths on one day. "The
Maidanek cure for typhus was
execution. On rainy and
stormy days, the prisoners
were forced to eat their meals
in the open. On Sundays,

oner who could not run, who

u. S. Offers SAT Million
ToU.N.forC Congo Costs

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
April 1S (AP).-The United
States announced today it is
ready to contribute $47,51O,0o0
toward the 500 million esti-
mated cost of the U. N. Congo
operation for the first 10
months of his year.
Philip M. Klutznick, United
States delegate in the U. N.
Assembly Budget Committee,
warned the United States will
reconsider the offer if the COM
mittee fails to adopt reSolu-
tion which recognizes that
governments have a binding OBJ
legation to pay the amounts as

The committee is debating
how to cover the costs in the
face of Soviet and French re-
fusal to pay their share.

next few months will save this
organization from collapse, "
Mr.. Klutznick told the COM

believed they meant it. I don't
think they were kidding. I
don't know what motivations
were behind my acts in the
beginning. Maybe 1 Just
thought it was easier for me
to get the job done"
Possibly, Senator Hruska
suggested, he feared to make
a pest of himself by turning in
his superiors.
"Oh, I think upstairs would
have loved me to come up and
tell, these things" replied the
witness, although he Gold that
his immediate boss had told
him not to talk about the
meetings to anyone.
Now, he said, all GE eXecu-
tives have taken the pledge.
Senator Hart asked him if
the reform instituted in 1859
had been inspired by a Grim
inal law against such actions
or if, perhaps, it might be be-
cause of the convening of a
grand jury in Philadelphia.
Practical Matter
Mr.. Peters gladly revealed
that the source of the CONVEX
sion had been practical rather
than ethical in nature.
During the whole period, &"
he confided, there was the in
ability to arrive at favorable
agreements. There was a lot
Of pickering at these meetings,
which was reason enough to
discontinue them. And a new
element came into the market
place in 1959-foreign compe-
tition."
Senator Hart said, "You have
omitted reference to the law.

Hart, "is very frank"

Statement Urged
On Red China

The House Republican Pol
icy Committee urged Congress
today to declare opposition to
admission of Red China to the
United Nations under present
conditions.
The 30-member group stated
after its regular meeting that
confusing statements" by high
administration officials, includ-
ing U. N. Ambassador Adlai
Stevenson and Undersecretary
of States Bowles, cast doubt
on the firmness of the United
States position"
1T is imperative" the COM
mittee statement declared,
that Congress reiterate in the
strongest terms possible its op-
position to such admission and
its belief that such a step would
lead to a fatal crippling of
the U. N. as an effective in
strument for world justice and
peace"

should bear a distinctive share
of U. N. peace missions.
The proposal advanced by
18 Latin American countries
called for the five veto powers
in the Security Council to pay
10 per cent of the cost; coun-
tries with 81 million or more
investment to pay Is per cent,
and weak countries to pay a
symbolic share.
Mr.. Klutznick said that the
United States accepted the 10
per cent clause and that it's
share under that would be
only $40 million. But he op-
posed the other two provisions.
He supported Pakistan-
Tunisian resolution to require
a fund of 500 million to cover
the 1861 costs for the first 10
months, to be collected under
U. N. present assessments.
Future assessments wuld be
decided by Assembly action
under the terms of a Canadian
resolution to set up separate
peace operations funds at the
next session.
Mr.. Klutznick said the United
States is ready to pay $32,-
$4,000 under the Pakistan-
Tunisia resolution formula and
SIS million more in cash and
waivers on costs of airlifting
troops and equipment.

Rover, a radical new space
propulsion idea, is eventually
to be worked into a Saturn
program as one of the upper
stages of that huge booster
system.
Bottleneck Denied
Other points developed in
the testimony:
/. Maj. Gen. Don r. Ost-
rander, director of NASA's
launch vehicle program, denied
there is a bottleneck in launch
ing facilities at Cape Canaveral,
Fla. But he said there was q
potential bottleneck and more
launching facilities will be

there was a bottleneck at

Eichmann dictated lot pages
Of his memoirs, Capt. Less said.
He also dictated a declaration. 3"
Its contents were not disclosed.
Eichmann's chief defense
counsel, DR.. Robert Servatius,
has asserted that a statement
given by Eichmann that he had
come to Israel freely and was
ready to testify was given un-
der duress."
The prosecutions purpose is
to show that Eichmann talked
freely, was given every oppor-
tunity to refresh his memory
with documents, and under
stood that he was under no
compulsion to talk.
Capt. Less was the second
witness in the case. At the
start of testimony a police in
spector told how documents re-
lating to Eichmann were as
sembled.
Atrocities Reviewed
The testimony began after
the prosecutor, Mr.. Hausner,
completed his opening state
ment depicting the wartime
ordeal of the Jews. He made
Eichmann the central figure in
this portrayal of death, torture
and sadism.
Mr.. Hausner did not ask the
death penalty as he ended his
opening statement. But the
law under which the former
Gestapo officer is being tried
provides it automatically for
conviction on 7 of the Is counts
in the indictment against him.
Adolf Eichmann's guilt lies
in the planning, initiation, Or
ganization and execution of
the crimes as charged in the
Indictment" Mr.. Hausner said
in a voice trembling with emo
ton.
1--WE shall prove that his
deeds were crimes against the
Jewish people, crimes against
humanity, and war crimes"
Eichmann Expressionless
Eichmann, as before, sat un-
terly still, unblinking, showing
no expression whatever.
Country by country, city by
city, from death camp to death
camp, Mr.. HauSner traced the
fearful chain of events that led
to the humiliation of six mil
lion Jews at the hands Of the
Nazis.
He spelled it out in detail
even more horrifying than in
the first two-thirds of his
statement yesterday.
Murder was the least terrible
part of his narrative.
Cannibalism, castration, sur
gical experiments on the living,
the killing of infants before the
eyes Of their mothers were de-
scribed in detail.
Spectators Weep Openly
Even more unspeakable acts
were delineated by Mr.. Hausner
in the final three hours of his
statement.
Spectators in the audience
wept openly. The horror of the
prosecutors recital was re-
flected in their faces.
The prosecution summoned
its first witness, Police Inspec-
tor Napthali Bar Shalom, to
testify on how documents in
the states case against Eich-
mann were assembled. He said
the documents were examined
for authenticity and included
some captured archives of the
German Foreign Office. Chief
Justice Moshe Landau ruled
they could be accepted as
evidence.
When he came at last to the
end of his statement, Mr.. Haus-
ner said: Adolf Eichmann
knew what he was about.
HE was the pivot Of the
criminal conspiracy to exter-
inmate the Jewish people wholly
or in part, and he was party
to the crimes of murder, plum
der, torture and execution.
