Despite the dreadfulneSs of
the crimes of which he was
accused, there was something
pitiful in Eichmann's story of
how he had been reared and
taught.
HIS FATHER, he said, had
been inflexibly strict with
him and he was the opposite
of a difficult child; in fact,
he was "easy to deal with and
obedient." From his nursery
days he considered obedience
the central and overriding
thing in his life.
81 recognized my father as
the absolute authority as we'll
as my mother who unhapplly
died young. l recognized my
teachers and my Superiors in
my job as authority, and in
the same way, later, my mill
tary s%uperiors."
In the effort to express his
obsessisn with blind obedi-
ence as the be-all and end-all
of life, Eichmann used a bibll-
cal figure of speech.

language that make its world
of thought and expression so
different from our own.
Inevitably there are defects,
and these arise out of the i'm.
mense difficulty Of the task
the author has set himself.
There is so much ground to
cover, and probably no one
will ever be able to do it ade-
quately in 255 pages. A man
must pick and choose, and
after he has made his choice,
he must still decide what to
emphasize and what to men
ton with no elaboration.
Compression is unavoid-
able, but the danger is that
important matters might be
compressed out of the book
altogether.
PERSONAL BIAS WILL
influence ones judgment
here. 1t is difficult to see,
however, why eight pages are
given over to extensive and
largely repetitive quotations
from the Fathers on the fact
of biblical inspiration, while
serious gaps are allowed to
occur in the history of inter
probation.
In this latter chapter, a
whole paragraph is devoted
to Pascal (whose name does
not inevitably come to mind

the paragraph just preceding,
Maldonatus, surely one of the
great commentators on the
gospels, gets a bare mention

Making Of A Na9i
copypEht lsa1, Ncwc. News Service

Il could we'll have agreed
that the famous camel could
pass through the eye of a
needle-but not that | should
have failed to obey orders"
ElCHMANN recalled that
the life of mindless obedience
Tin his view was a very COM
Portable life filled and
regulated by orders, COM
mands, DEGREES and instruc-
tons, with ones own con-
%structive activity reduced to
a minimum"
After the defeat of the nazi
war machine in 1915, Eich-
mann said he felt lost at be-
ing thrown upon his own re-
sources, and finding it nee
essary to make decisions for
himself.
Il realized that a life was
beginning which | did not
know. 1t was a life in which
l felt completely lost at first,
a feeling as if it were the end
of the world, a mental shock"
For the first time, he was
confronted with the thought
that there was an authority
higher than the human, and
that there is a purpose in life
other than merely doing as
one is told
HE BEGAN to ask himself
what life was all about-what
it is for. Previously the idea
never had entered my head
hat there might be such a
question"
He pondered the problem
while a prisoner of war in
an American camp. Finally
he saw that religion alone
had the answer he sought. He
"placed himself under the
Higher Bearer of All Mean
ing" = his term for God.
During this period when he
had nothing much to do but
think, "all the gods in which
| previously had believed col.
lapsed in front of me-Reich
laws, instructions, orders, de-
crees, commands, superiors
and so forth"
He said the shock of facing
up to the meaning and the
realities of life was so great
that he contracted a high
fever and was treated by the
camp doctor.
| WAS NOT the only one
through whose brain these
Four Horsemen of the Apolca-
lypSe must have ridden. There
must have been many of our
former enemies who expert
enced the same thing.
Il said it must be so, be-
cause if that were not the
case then l should begin to
doubt again the Brightness of
my reasoning. But | do not
want any more doubts. / be-
lieve it now"
His whole life might have
been different. he said, if he
had not left his church dhe
German Evangelical in his
young manhood.
Eichmann, in the words of
an American reporter cover
ing the trial in Israel, wiped
out a multitude equal to the
population of Chicago for mo-
tives which he cannot explain
even to himself"
He did so because that was
the way he was educated. He
was not taught to obey God.
He was taught to obey men
apart from God. He was edu-
Gated without the indispen-
sible insights which religion
alone can give into the right
uses of knowledge, into the

THE WORD OF GOD:
Fills Real Need, But Translation Faulty

THE WORD OF COD: by
Georges Auzou; 3. Herder
Book Co., SAYS.
The Bible is a book di-
vinely inspired: on what
grounds do we make this
affirmation, and precise
ly what do we mean when
we say that the Scriptures
are both wholly from God
and wholly from man?
The Bible is a library, a
collection of books that were
over a thousand years in the
writing: why then do we in
clude some books and exclude
others, why accept the Gospel
of Matthew and reject the
Gospel of Thomas?
THE BIBLE WAS A A NJ
WRITTEN book during three
fourths of the time it has
been in existence: in view of
the errors unavoidable in the
copying of manuscripts, can
we be sure that what wesread
in this year of 1861 is what
the author set down in 81 AID
or 601 BE?
The Bible has been an OBJ
ject of study for two millenia:
what light have scholars of
the past thrown upon its ma
ture, its purpose, its mean
ing?
The Bible is an ancient
book: what changes must we
make in our own ways of
thinking so that we may leap
the centuries and read it with
something of the same under
standing as did the audience
for which it was originally
intended?
THESE ARE SURELY
BASIC questions, and the
reader who wants to approach
the Scriptures intelligently
must have some knowledge of
the answers. Indeed, the an
SWers make up that gateway
to a properly organized Scrip
ture course which the Semin-
airy catalogues call General In
PRODUCTION.
Father Auzou's purpose is
to provide a book of General
Introduction for readers who
want reliable answers TO the
Introductory questions, but
have neither tie time nor the
background to read more de-
tailed works, such as the two
volumes of Robert Tricot's
excellent Guide to the Bible.
He has succeeded In q re.
markable degree.
PARTICULARLY PRAISE
WORTHY is the attempt to
explain several key words of
the biblical vocabulary; jus
tice," for example. Many of
us are unaware that there is
a problem here, we simply
take it for granted that justice
in the Bible means pretty
much what it means in every
day English.
Only after we have worked
our way through the authors
exposition (no easy task, by
the way, since it demands
constant reference to our
Bible = but this, after all,
is as it should be- do we begin
to see that we have been mis-
taken, that the biblical mean
ing is both different from and
far fuller and richer than
what we have supposed it to
be.
IT is MATTER FOR RE.

Crippled Champions

Well, for bunch Of reputed cripples,
those New York Yankees managed to do
pretty we'll against a healthy array Of
Cincinnati Reds. In that final game
yesterday the disabled team from Man
haitian had to struggle along without
two great stars, Mickey Mantle and Yogi
Berra; yet their requirements, Johnny
Blanchard and Hector Lopez, did very
creditable job, considering that they &C
counted for seven of the Yankees thir-
teen runs. 1t was a short and, for the
Reds, sad series, albeit the National
Leaguers made it real contest at first.
The series will be remembered espe-
cially as the one in which Whitley Ford
broke Babe Ruth's record of pitching
% 2/3 successive scoreless World Series
innings. Whitley heightened the record
to 80 before being hurt by foul tip. All
in all, however, the series went about as
most American League fans had expect
ed. The simple fact is that the fence

come, even when 1t is handicapped by

Mortal Sin

Do they look at themselves in the
mirror? Do they think? Do they have
any sense of fellowship or common
humanity? AS Germans, have they no
feeling for their compatriotS on the
other side of the wall, the free side?
These are but few of the oues-
lions that come to mind when one
reads the slightly horrifying stories
about how the East German peoples
police" entrap and shoot down their
fellow-countrymen. Young couples, or
1t may be old couples, seek liberty in
the West, but death may be what they
find in the end. For their compatriots,
the ones on the slave side of the Iron
Curtain, have been exhorted and trained
to kill them as they try to escape.
This is all encouraged by the Krem-
lin. 1t is one of the most repugnant
realities of our time. MoScows East
German puppets must surely feel
guilty. Indeed, Nikita KhruShchev him
self, If he looks in the mirror with any
perception, must see the stain of mortal
sin in his own eyes.

Chemistry at Play

The Smithsonian Institution, prop
erly proud of its fantastic collection of
things odd and otherwise, has added a
little dandy in its latest acquisition of
silk purse. For this particular exhibit
did not start with the raw product of
the quietly industrious silkworm. It
came instead from the perky ears of
many amiable soWs named Sukie, who
unknowingly no doubt will be remem-
bered in history as the pigs that helped
disprove the old proverb that you can't
make silk purse out of sow's ear"
The chemical process by which
pigs ears were reduced first to glue
and eventually to silk was an intricate
one, best recorded in other columns.
The fact that it could be DONE however,
is indeed tribute to industrial research
at time when that line of endeavor is
more than ever vital to national growth
and perhaps survival Arthur D. Little,
Inc, which accomplished this particular
piece of witchcraft, modestly describes
the whole exercise as merely diversion
OF chemistry at play" There may be no
great future in making silk purses this
way, but certain admiration is due an
industry that refuses to believe 1t can't
do anything it sets its mind to-.

Incredible Is Riqht

Colorado Governor McNicholS has
described as incredible" the disclosures
by State investigators of widespread
criminal operations by many members
of the Denver police force Charges
brought against IS policemen so far
include burglary, theft, gambling, pro-
noting prostitution and various types
Of conspiracy. Seven officers have been
convicted, two have pleaded nolo con-
tendere (no conteSt) and the others are
awaiting trial 1t is an incredible story,
all right, and the most incredible thing
ABOUT 1t is that the criminality appar-
emily had been going on, undecided by
hlgher-ups, for nearly Is years
Denver'S Mayor Batterton, reviewing
evidence uncovered by city and State
officials, said that "in most instances
policemen together with their burglary
tools were delivered and picked up with
police cars, and the lookouts were
uniformed police. Many locations were
'cased and surveyed in police cars prior
to the time the jobs were pulled"
Governor McNicholS said that as old
gangs within the department were, split
up by transfers from one precinct to
another, new units were formed with
"old hands at the criminal game" as a
nucleus. New members were recruited
by the lure of loot and payoffs, he said.
The State investigation is far from
completed. 1t was limited that some
evidence has been found of criminal
activities extending beyond the Colorado
borders. OF prime Importance, however,
is the question of how such activities
were able to go on over so long a period
and among so many officers without
knowledge of those in charge of law
enforcement in Denver.
