Eichmonn Case

ThlS is IN reply to the legal
points raised by Edmund D.
Cohen'S letter on the Eich-
man case.
Nations do not cooperate
very nicely" on extradition
where no extradition treaties
exist. This is particularly the
case in South America, where
the right Of refuge plays a
very important political role.
When the West German gov
ernment Esked for the extra
dition Of 6 notorious concen-
tration camp doctor, DR..
Mengele, from a South Ameri-
can country fairly recently,
DR.. Mengele conveniently dis
appeared. Israel has no ex-
tradition treaty with the
Argentine.
The law under which Eich-
man is being tried covers
crimes against the Jewish
people and humanity and
consists word for word of
Article 6 Of the Charter of
the International Nuremburg
Trial adopted by the U. S.,
u. K, U. S. S. r. and France
at the Treaty Of London, on
April 8, 1945, and unani-
mously affirmed by the U. N.
General Assembly on Deem
Der IL. 1916. 1t is an inter-
national document ratified by
nations Of the world; so
there can be nothing vague"
or "unSound" about it.
International law is built
principally on non-statutory
sources and takes cognizance
of crimes against humanity.
Such acts are presumed to
have been perennially GRIM
inal and to have been under
stood always as inimical to
the nature and welfare Of
man. Therefore, even If Is
raeli law Of 1850 had a genu-
inely "ex post facto" effect,
it would offend no canon Of
international law.
Eichmann's crimes were in
deed committed outside Is
rael, but the "territoriality
jurisdiction" principle GER
tainly never applies to a
crime Of this sort, committed
as it was against humanity,
in a dozen different coun-
tries. The aforementioned
charter expressly defines
Nazi crimes as "of no spe-
cific geographic location"
If Mr.. Cohen has read the
newspaper reports on the
case, he will by now know
that counsel for the defense
has not as yet presented the
prosecution with the names
of any witnesses he wishes to
use, but supposedly cannot
for the reasons offered by Mr..
Cohen. The Israeli Attorney
General has declared that
Israel has a legal assistance
agreement with Bonn, which
he is prepared to implement
to facilitate any relevant tes-
timony.
In conclusion, let me quote
a German newspaper, die
Welt" on this very subject:
1T is useless, too, to dis
cusS the opinions of those
who belabor the procedural
inconvenienceS and oddities
Of this trial in order to help
them close their min d S
against it's content. How
tethered to formalities, how
heartless indeed, is the think
ing Of people who measure
the worth or worthlessness Of
this trial by merely outward
circumstances /"

CONSIDERABLE progress has been
~ made on the restoration of Apo

render terms were made in 1865 to
bring to close the fiercest war in
history. 1t has been expected that the
restoration program would be COM

National Park Services proposes now
to omit the restoration of the Court
house building, and to substitute a
visitors center, with comfort facilities,
educational exhibits, and executive Of

In an address Saturday February 25) to 300
members and guests of the South Carolina His
torical Society surely a thriving turnout for
such an occasion even in historic Charleston
Prof. Francis B. Simkins stripped off layers of
hypocrisy from the current scene on the subject
of race DR.. Simkins, author and lecturer, native
of Edgefield County, South Carolina, is professor
of history at Longwood College at Farmve. Va.
a community which has occupied front line post
in the campaign to enforce association in class
rooms of white and colored children.
The communty's successful resistance by
means of private schools, has been one of the en-
couraging signals in gloomy era for the South.
Prof. SmkinS chose not to talk about his present
hometown, however, but about the much broader
aspect of political and sociological thought. He
pointed out that the Jeersonian ideal of equality
actually is statement of what ought to be- not what
is.
The South, he said openly repudiates that
doctrine and accepts the older statement of the
Book of Common Prayer, which 200 years before
Jefferson said there are 'all sorts and conditions
of men who should be content with the positions
to which God has called them"
Surely it must be apparent even without Dr.
Simkins' explanation. that all persons are not
equal. One who is born with a club foot cannot
run. nor does every native American come equip
ped with the voice Of Marian Anderson or
Paul Robson
Even if Southerners cast aside the traditions
which have created 1.-The Legend of the South
and conceded social equality among the races, DR..
Simkins said that inequalities would persist

cultural sense would cease to exist. No reason

1 understand that the future
space program will now be
under the personal attention of
Vice President Lyndon Johnson.
He says we may expect the land
ing Of a planetary space
craft in 1862; and in 1868 the safe
landing of certain instruments
on the moon. Our Midas under
the direction of DR.. Wernher Won
Braun. now of the Huntsville
Center, can be depended upon to
make more new. and important
discoveries.
These governmental develop
ments will primarily be to warn
us of what the Russians, or
other potential enemies, may be
doing as well as too give us
knowledge of impending hurri-
canes and other destructive
forces. Although paid for by us,
they will be given freely to all
nations. The next step will be
the study of these electrical cur
rents which will finally be har-
messed to give each nation free
power. This would do much to
hasten world peace.

should add that the nuclear fus-

Babson Forecasts Free Generating Power

BABSON PARK, Mass. Mar 2
Il has long been thought by
scientists that the sun should
some day give us free power.
Unfortunately, the clouds and
storms have prevented this.
Furthermore. nations in differ
ent ATTITUDES would get different
amounts of sun power. and all
ATTITUDES would get varying
power according to the time of
year.

to interest students in harness

first it must discover a partial
insulator, or absorber, of gray

The Foundation now has the
worlds best files on gravity and
is giving $1,000 annual awards for
the best original essays upon the
subject. These essays average
over eighty a year and come
from the United States. Great

Restoration Of Appomattox

which led to the war are still present,
none-the-less, cessession of hostilities
were brought, and an enduring peace
accepted at this small village of Vir-
ginia.
Knowledgeable people throughout the
world know the meaning of Appomat-
tox, and desire to visit it. People with
northern background should be more in
terested in Appomattox where sur
render capped the efforts of their fore
bearers, than in many other Virginia
battlefields where the efforts of the
forebearers wre repulsed.
In world today where there is no
peace, Appomattox stands as shrine
which should be restored in all of it's
original conditions as far as possible.
Certainly $15O00O of the millions now
being spent with such abandon could
be found to preserve the Nations great
historic shrine. We believe that the Park
Service will do just that.

Propaganda
Measured in terms of Subtlety, diver
sity, vigor, and extent the worldwide Com
munist propaganda is terrific. All forms
Of the printed word, radio, television, and
moving pictures are utilized to exploit
social. political, economic unrest, jeal-
ousy. and race prejudice throughout the
world.
The so-called cultural exchange pro-
grams are blatant propaganda devices.
The extent of propaganda extolling the
merits of Communism and all its prod
ucts, which you hear every day, is
measure of subversion and brainwashing
in our country
Atomic Bombs
The conmandant of a large air base
told me he was not afraid of the atom
bombs the Russians could deliver by air,
but what cuased him to lose sleep was
fear of a bomb being delivered in a gaso
line truck which would wipe his base and
the nearby city off the map.
There were a considerable number of
Communists employed in the atomic
plants during the war particularly at Los
Alamos. The inventory methods were so
lax that enough fashionable material could
have been taken to make over twenty-five
bombs. Being in the U.S.A.. these bombs
are already delivered
naval captain attached to the Atomic
Energy Commission told me that the
fuzzy minded scientists and left-Wing char
acters who had infiltrated the various de-
paitments under the Commission were too
much for him SO he was going to get out
of the service and try to tell the American
people what is going on.
At the Port of New York they endea-
vor to detect any person bringing in fis-
sionable material. but at no other port of
entry in the United States is any such eff
fort made
Inasmuch as the fashionable material
for a bomb can be brought in, in a suit
case. why worry about Russian rockets?
Communist professor is cautious about
trying to indoctrinate the average Ameri-
can boy because the boy may go home
and give evidence of his indoctrination,
with the result that his parents become
aware of what is going on and kick up
row. No such hazards are present, how
ever in matchmaking foreign students
They are lonely and far from home and,
therefore, become easy grist for the Com
munist mill. The Communists give them
attention, companionship, and sociability,
and send them back to their homeland as
dedicated Communists to do their deadly
work DR.. Frederick Schwartz said for
years most of the Australian Rhodes
Scholars returned to Australia as dedicat-
ed Communists.
Mr. friends who had the experiences
in Iraq said that in Iraq 75%o of the
students who had studied in the
larger American and English univer-
sites were Communists. Students from
the smaller colleges did not seem to be
affected. Although he had no way of know
ing where they got their indoctrination, he
knew Communist leaders from the Univer-
sites of Michigan. Texas, Ohio, Denver,
and Southern California
l have heard from other sources that

can universities return to Burma as de-
dicated Communists

Bella Dodd who spent Is years in the
Communist Party, and who is row prac-
ticing attorney in New York City, told me
she pleads cases in front of judge in
whose nome she used to attend Commun-
list cell meetings.
The record shows that Americans have
played large part in promoting Com
munism around the world
Italy
Since nearly billion dollars Of Amer.
can taxpayers money have been poured
into Italy since 1947 to prevent the Com
munists from taking over the Italian po-
litical and economic system. it is more
than casual interest to American citizens
to learn that it was Americans who were
primarily responsible for the restoration
and vast growth of the Communist move
ment in Italy, which had been suppressed
by Mussolini It was insisted by the Ameri-
cans that Communists be represented in
the governments that followed the over
throw CT Mussolini and that Communist
dominated labor unions should be given
precedence in the italian labor movement.
1t was an American ship which brought
Palmiro Togliatti, the Italian Communist
leader back to Rome from Moscow,
where he had lived for years, ard Amerl-
can political and military leaders who
helped to install him in power. He ulti-
mately became Minister of Justice in a
postwar government, and declared that
the murder Of over 900 italian Fascists
and their families including many who
were only suspected of Fascismi was the
finest deed in all Italian history.
Herbert Philbrck came to know IS
persons in the Communist underground
