is in dispute, he said, is "the
selection, the composition of
the journalists story"
In that sense, DR.. Servatius
said. "I maintain it is a for
gerry"
Attorney General Gideon
Hausner, concluding the final
day of the Israeli prosecution,
offered the tape recordings and
the transcript of the inter-
views to show principally that
Eichmann told voluntarily the
same story he gave to interro-
gators before his trial here.
The purpose of this move
was to counter any claim by
Eichmann that his lengthy pre-
trial interrogatory was obtained
under dureSS.
The attorney general told the
court he obtained the contro-
versial recordings only three
weeks ago.
Presiding Judge Moshe Lam
dau asked why the state was
bringing this up so late. and
Mr.. Hausner surrounded the
subject with mystery, saying, 1
beg the court not to press the
question"
DR.. Servatius retorted that he

tapes:

ploye of a newspaper in this

He said the material, pub
hShed in part by Life Magazine,

list Wllhen SasSen in Argentina
by plying Eichmann with wine
over a protracted period in 1856
and 1867.
"The accused protested about
certain parts of the transcript, +"
DR.. ServatiuS told the court.
He would not go on unless he
could study in detail and initial

suspicious and no longer had
any confidence in the jour-
haliSt."
A detailed contract was
drawn up by Eichmann and
SasSen, the attorney said, and
under its terms nothing was to
Ibe published without that in
Iitialing of each page. This
never was done, he said, and
consequently Eichmann re-
jects the whole thing as the

blast at Dynasoar may have
sounded the death knell for
this Air Force effort to have
a manned space flight pro-
gram of its own. The program
has been only partially funded
to date, and the Air Force has
been limited to building a. syS-
tenn capable of high altitude,
but not orbital, flight.
In Early Stages
DynaSOar is still in the early
development stages and has
cost about 500 million. The
administration is asking 500
million more in the coming
fiscal years.
Maj. Gen. Victor r. Haugen,
Air Force official appearing
with DR.. Brown. explained that
"Dynasoar is really a recovery
technique"
1T is a recovery technique
for whatever is in the vehicle"
he said. 1T can be either a
manned vehicle or an un-
manned vehicle"
Senator Kerr noted that two
recovery techniques already ex-
ist-that of Mercury to return
men and that of Discoverer to
return instrument capsules.
If it is manned, it is a dupli-
cate of the other manned prof.
ect and if it is unnamed, it
is a duplicate of the other un-
manned project" he said.
If the only purpose of Dyna-
soar is to provide a manned
orbital vehicle, it will be diff
cult to justify" Senator Kerr
added.
