The controversial 1889 Res
taurant at Thirty-sixth and

opponents said they will appeal
to United States District Court
After four days of hearings
in which attorneys battled over
whether the main entrance OF
the restaurant is within 40C
feet of the main entrances OF
two schools, the ABC Board
decided the 400-foot rule does

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. Il
(AP).-Two Belgian Air Force
C-l19 cargo planes collided in
the air and crashed in flames
today near Brussels, killing all
l3 men in the two craft, the
Defense Ministry reported.
A spokesman said there were
five crew members in each
plane, plus three military pas
sengers.
The planes were on a routine
flight and were preparing to
land at Chievres, 81 miles
southeast of Brussels, when
they collided. They crashed not
far apart in a muddy field,
spreading burning debris over
a wide area.
Fire engines were unable to
approach the scene because OF
mud. Firemen and rescuers
managed to reach the wreck
age with light equipment.
Visibility was poor in the
area and misty rain was given
as one of the probable reasons
of the accident.
The two planes had left Brus-

Fresh Katanga troops moved

Soviet Russia demanded today
that the United States sur

committee, for trial in Moscow
on charges of war crimes in
World War II.
The Russians made the de-
mand in a note to the United

bringing up charges against
Gen. HeuSinger now, said an

the war had been known for
years.
In Bonn. the West German
government said this is just
another Soviet propaganda
move" The government said it
cleared Gen. Heusinger long
ago and the Soviet charges wera
false. Similar comment came
from the NATO military sources
in Paris.
General in Paris
Gen. Heusinger, 81, a man
who shuns the limelight, made
no immediate comment. He Is

To observers it seemed likely
the Soviet note was for the
purpose Of disturbing relations
among the Western Allies and
was another form of attack on
West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer's government.
Officials in Washington, COM
menting privately, took much
the same line. They said it is
a long-standing Soviet practice
to try to cause trouble and
"stir the pot" before the regu-
lar December meeting of the
Atlantic community ministerial
council. That NATO group gets
together in Paris tomorrow.
The United States State De-
partment said no official com.
ment could be expected there

the Berlin problem and the
essential Western rights that
must be defended there.
About this there has never
been any real disagreement
among the four ministers. The
disagreement is entirely over
tactics and the refusal Of
President de Gaulle of France
to join his allies In making a
new approach to the Russians.
Showdown Avoided
1t is most unlikely that this
disagreement will be resolved
in the course of the present
talks or the meeting of the
NATO council that is to fol-
low. In the interest of allied
unity the ministers seem anx-
ious to avoid any kind Of
public showdown with the
French.
AS in the case Of their dis
cuSsions on Katanga yesterday,
the effort is to submerge their
differences by concentrating
on long term objectives.
Thus the British and the
French-who basically disap-
prove Of the operations of the
United Nations in Katanga-
could 60 along with the long
term objective of "unification
Of the Congo by peaceful
means" And thus on Berlin
the four ministers can bury
their tactical dispute by agree
ing once again that come what
may, the city must remain
prosperous and free.
If the argument in the coun-
ell chamber is confined to po-
lite limits. however, the argu-
ment on the periphery of the
various delegations and in the
press is as brisk as ever. At
this stage both sides are loudly
claiming that the event of the
past few days have reinforced
their side of the dispute.
Premier Pulls Rug
So far as the French are
concerned, Premier Khrushchev
himself has provided the best
refutation Of the idea that an
acceptable agreement on Berlin
is possible. His weekend
speech deriding the idea of ne
gotiations limited to Berlin
and rejecting President Ken
nedy's proposal for an inter-
nationally controlled corridor
has. according to the French
pulled the rug from under
those who argue in favor of new
talks. Similarly. Russian Am
bassador Menshikov's sterr
comments at the Nationa,
Press Club in Washington yes
terday is read as a kind of cour
de grace to wishful thinkers oi
the Western camp.
The British, needless to say
do not agree. No one, they say
could have expected Mr.. Khru-
shchev to accept these Western
proposals as they stood. And
for the rest of it, say the Brit
ish, no one has ever really be-
lieved that negotiation could be
confined to the isolated queS-
tion of Berlin.

No Sympathy
For Eichmann
Notification Giver
By Israeli Court
Dec l2 (API

JERUSALEM, Dec. IL (AP)
The special Israeli court
notified Adolf Eichmann to-
day he can expect no COM
passion on the question OF
mitigating circumstances in the
sentence he will face later this
week. The maximum penalty
under a special Israeli law is
death.
The tribunal convicted the
former Gestapo colonel on al,
counts of a 15-count indict-
ment in the slaughter of Jews
by Nazi Germany in World
War II and concluded the read.
ing Of its Judgment.
Its summation, preceded BY
a detailed examination oi
Eichmann's role as an alleged
maStermind in the eXtermina-
ton of 6 million Jews, was 6
blanket verdict of guilty.
Every Claim Backed
Conclusions of the three
judge court supported every
claim that Attorney General
Gideon Hausner placed against
Eichmann after the former SIS
officer was abducted from Ar
gentina by Israeli secret agents
and flown to Israel. which
came into being three years
after the war.
Presiding Judge Moshe Lam
dau lashed at Eichmann as a
man who followed orders
blindly.
I'm a state which believes in
the rule of law, no one can
get rid of his liability, his per-
sonal responsibility" Judg e
Landau said. "a defense based
on superior orders cannot lead
to the acquittal of the accused.
On the question of mitigation,
it arises whether the accused
did his best to reduce the grav-
ity of the offense. Were his
orders manifestly unlawful?
Were they repulsive to his
hearth"
Negative Conclusion
After asking these questions,
the judge said for the tribunal
that it had to conclude in the
negative.
The accused well knew that
the determination was unlaw-
full, on an enormous SCALE" he
said. "All other orders arising
from this were manifestly un-
lawful. His oath Ito the SS)
only strengthened him to carry
out his duties with inner sat-
iSfaction."
