Mr.. Weaver said he had dis

that the question Of who would
be named Secretary had not
come up.
I'm not in competition for
such a post" he told a news
conference before addressing
the opening session Of the
American Institute of Archi-
tects' 93d annual convention
here today.

The convention received
greetings from President Ken

influence and work can reshape
the urban life of this country
and is a challenge that no other
generation Of architects has
yet had"
Mr.. Kennedy also said he
deeply appreciated" the sup

Chief Justice Warren, in an
unusually hot exchange on the
Supreme Court bench, has
cautioned Justice Frankfurter
against using ad lib dissenting
remarks to degrade" the high
tribunal.
Justice Warren's reprimand
came after Justice Frankfurter
yesterday gave a dissenting
opinion to a 5-4 decision that
set aside the murder conviction
of Willie Lee Stewart. Justice
Frankfurter called the decision
'indefensible."
When Justice Frankfurter
finished, Justice Warren spoke
up to declare that dissents
should not be "for the purpose
Of degrading the court"
The Chief Justice called JUS
tice Frankfurter's ad lib COM
ments "a lecture" comparable
to "a closing argument for the
prosecution" Such comments,
Justice Warren told the 78-
year-old Frankfurter, would be
proper in the courts closed
conference room but not in
open court sessions.
The Chief Justice added that
If the protested remarks by
Justice Frankfurter had been
made in the latter's formal,
written dissenting opinion, JUS
tice Warren would have filed
an opinion of his own to an
swer Justice Frankfurter.

October 81, 1898, and deported
to Poland. A few days later,
in a rage against the Nazi
harassment of Jews, 17-year-
old Hershel GrynSzpan assas-
Sinated Ernest vom Rath, Nazi
councillor of the German En-
bassy in Paris.
This touched off the first
concerted Nazi wave of anti
Jewish pogroms. starting with

of the Shattering glass from
thousands of Jewish homes,

Eichmann Terrifying
Two other witnesses, who
met Eichmann when he was a
rising star in the Gestapo.
faced him in court today and
described him as a terrifying
figure even in 1888.
They stood directly in front
of him only a few feet away
as they gave evidence. Eich-
mann stared at them through
the glass walls of the pris-
oner's box. The righthand cor
ner of his mouth twisted into
a grimace once or twice, but
otherwise he showed no feeling.
This was the first time the
packed courtroom saw a picture
of Eichmann, drawn from the
first-hand experience of men
who had to deal with him. They
said he shouted. used vulgar
language and often threatened
them with the concentration
camps.
Jewish Situation Desperate
The witnesses were DR.. Ben
no Cohn, former official of the
Jewish community in Berlin in
the l930s, and Aaron Walter
LindenStrauss, German ex-
lawyer who was directing jew
iSh immigration to Palestine
during the same period.
| This was at a time when
the situation Of the Jews was
desperate because they could
not get enough immigration
certificates to British-operated
Palestine.
The elder Grynszpan was a
thin, frail little figure Of rs as
he testified in Yiddish.
Voice TrembleS
Even after % years, his voice
shrilled and he trembled as he
.recounted the events of the
might of october 81, 1888, in
Hanover, Germany.
About 8 o'clock at night,
he said, "a policeman came to
our home. He told US we were
all to come with him, that we
should take our passports but
nothing else.
He took us to a concert hall
There were about 600 people
already there. They kept us for
rs hours until Friday night.
THE next day-on the Sab
bath-they took US to the rail-
way station. The streets were
black with people, shouting
Jews out to Palestine and

was a reference to the sigma
lures exacted of the Jews on
their own deportation warrants

Mr.. Grynszpan said they were
taken by train to a point near

arriving from many other

Judge Burger had told q

here Wednesday that only hall
the SO Federal judges proposed
in the omnibus judgeship bill
now before Congress would be
needed If Federal judges would
do more to solve their own
problems.
Judge Burger said the Fed
eral courts are hampered by
judges who delay too long In
deciding cases, who decline to
try certain kinds Of cases OF
who work too little"
But Senator Butler said yes
terday in reply:
Perhaps there are Judges
in some areas who do not work
hard enough or decline certain
types Of cases as Judge Burger
says, but I think that such
conduct Is the exception rather
than the rule, and I don't be-
lieve a blanket indictment can
