JERUSALEM, July IT,
Adolf Eichman was forced to
admit on the witness stand to-
day he took part with five oi
the biggest killers of the Nazi
Reich in a meeting that or
ganized the uprooting of half a
million Poles, Jews, SloveneS
and Gypsies.
Israel Attorney General Gid
con Hausner, nearing the end
of his cross-examination, con-
fronted the former Gestapo
lieutenant colonel with the
record of a gathering January
80, 1910. when the German
izing" Of Poland was decreed.
Present in addition to Eich-
mann we're:
Reinhard Heydrich, Gestapo
chief aSsasSinated in Prague,
where the Czechs called him
"the hangman."
Otto Ohlendorf, Einsatz
commando general, hanged at
Lansberg.
Arthur Seyss- -Inquart, later
governor general of occupied
Holland, hanged at Nuremberg.
Odilo Globocnik, senior gen.
eral in Lubin who operated the
first gas chambers.
IS Gen. Fritz Katzman, boss
of the secret police in Croatia.
Planned Transport
Eichmann was given the task
or organizing the Polish and
German rail transport for the
deportees, who were divided
into groups that would survive
to work and those to be exter-
minated.
Rattling off the names, Mr..
Hausner barked: Good COM
pany."
Eichmann said: 1T was
ordered by Himmler. IV-B-4,
my office, was ordered to han
die the timetables, the rolling
stock"

major responsibility in the mass
slaughter of the jews, resisted

In its obligation to prepare
the people for the perils that
may befall this autumn over
Berlin-and possibly any,
where in Asia the Red
Chinese may choose to push
the button-the Kennedy
administration has made a
hard choice of alternatives.
1t has elected to risk say
ing too little, and thus pos
sibly fostering public COM
placency or confusion, rather
than risk saying too much,
and thus setting off too
many alarm bells altogether.
President Kennedy and
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
are in fact much buster and
more firmly ''in charge" on
the inside than they look on
the outside. Their principal
activities are being centered
not so much on public opinion
as on the opinions of those
who for the moment are
more decisive, Congress and
the Allied leaders.
Mr.. Kennedy, for one illus
tration. is doing the most
strenuous personal lobbying
with individual members of
Congress for his foreign aid
program. Nothing quite like
it has been seen before.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was
always putting the pressure
on Capitol Hill; but he did
it primarily through his staff.
President Kennedy is ap-
plying the heat in the most
direct and personal way
face to face, man to man and
one man at a time.
Secretary Rusk is busying
himself more with the true
core of his job, preparing high

Regarding Semester Exoms

of work, yet a two-hour exam
counts as much toward q
final grade. Well, Of course!
If you can get an "a" or
''B"' after so hours Of work
in one subject, you certainly
should be able to get the same
grade on an exam covering
the most important Of that
material learned. and, what's
more, it's review material!
Semester exams serve o
purpose, not to lower your
semester average, but to en-
courage you to retain what
you have learned throughout
the semester. Then your exam
grade should correspond to
your marking period average,
and there won't be any need
for argument against the
weight of semester exams on
the final grade.

On MEDICO

I'm sure you are familiar
with the story Of the jungle
doctor, Tom Dooley. I have
read his three books Deliver
Us From Evil, The Edge of
Tomorrow and The Night
They Burned the Mountain).
Finding them as interesting
as they were, I realized the
amazing job DR.. Dooley had
on his hands.
His main project. 1t seems,
is an organization called
MEDICO Medical Interna-
tional Cooperation Organi-
zation). I've heard so little
publicity about this program.
My main reason for writing
is to learn the address where
contributions for MEDTCO
could be sent. DR.. Dooley
certainly deserves the pride
we Americans have for him.
One more question: Is there
any chance Of his TV lee
lures being rebroadcast? I
believe they were taped while
he was working on solicita-
lions for MEDICO.

Give Pete Spear (TEEN.
February 12) q pat on the
back for me. For two years,
the National Honor Society
Of Loudoun County High has
worked on exam exemption
for "A" and "B" students
especially final senior exams
and has gotten q big flat
mo" every time. Some teach
ers feel If one is exempted, all
should be. Others say We
need practice taking exams
II we are going to college.
This year we won't have
semester exams because OF
the snow, which has resulted
In students missing II days
of school so far. The seniors
are so happy they could cry.
Well, let me revise that, most
Of them are. will explain

aren't.

which are submitted to coll
leges for admission. I usually
make the honor roll each six
weeks, but I have yet to
make the semester honor
roll because of the one-third
semester grade that the
exams count. Neither do I
make q final grade above q
&c" I happen to be one of
those that fall down on
exams.
But what really gripes me
are the kids who get along
with "C's" for the six weeks
(they could do better if they
wanted to-, then wait for
exams, study for a few hours
and pull q big "a" because
they are the kind who can
get good grades on tests. So
they roll in with q "B" for
the semester. These are the
ones who were out-foxed this
semester by no exams, and
I'm not shedding too many
tears for them either.
Granted the student with
the &c" semester average has
o better chance of retaining
the knowledge. because by
studying hard every six
weeks, he learned the ma
terial thoroughly. But the
one who crammed for all he
was worth the night before
the exam will get into college
first because he has the high
semester grades.
If we need the practice SO
much, fine with me, but I
Join with Pete in saying the
examination shouldn't count
SO much.

contents of his letter, COM
pairing a two-hour exam with
q six-week marking period
of work, I wonder if he really
knows what a semester exam
Is.
A semester exam covers the
important or basic work that
was given throughout the
semester. In some exams 1t
tests your knowledge of the
basic principles learned in the
course. A semester exam is
basically a review Of the Sc
mester material. Your semes-

sorbed.

WeIl-Creased Pay Cut for Legislators Slides Through the States House

JUNEAU R - A Well-greased legislative pay cut bill slid through the State House of Repre- sentatives Saturday by a vote of B to 6.
 Not voice was raised in debate against it.
 The bill was a substitute yer sion introduced by the House Fi- nance Committee.
 It cuts per diem from $40 to $35 for legislators from all areas outside of the Juneau-Douglas area, election District 5. Law makers from the 9th District would get $25 a day expense allowance.
 The measure would also reduce annual salaries from $3,000 to S2,500, but provides for an annual allowance of $500 for postage, stationary, stenographic services and other expenses. Lawmakers do not now receive such an al- loWance.
 The annual allowance for the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House would be trimmed from $500 to $500.
 The expected thunder over the controversial issue apparently had been taken care of in party eau cuses before the bill hit the floor
 Only four Democrats and two Republicans voted against the bill.
 They were Democratic Reps. Frank Cashel of Sitka, Robert Ditman of Valdez, Harold Hansen of Cordova and John Nusunginya of Barrow and Republican Reps. Walter Kubley and William Boardman, both of Ketchikan.

Possibility the AF Will Make Snow for Fur Rendezvous

ANCHORAGE R - Hopes were expressed Saturday that the Air Force would rescue the city from a snow-less holiday by using it's new snoWmaking machine to cover Fourth Avenue for the Fur Rem dezVous sled dog races which are scheduled next weekend.
 Bill Strandberg, Greater An chorage, Inc. president said he has sent telegram to Mayor Robert Wagner of New York City thanking him for his offer of as sistance, but advising him that it is impossible to get the big city snow here because of transporta- tion difficulties.
 "I told him the Air Force is always prepartd for every emer- gency in Alaska, and we are con- fident that it will make snow for us," Strandberg said.
 The Air Force expects a new snoW-making machine to arrive this weekend. Strandberg said he hopes that machine can be as- sembled, tested and proven in time for helping the Rendezvous have dog races.
 Strandberg said he hopes Mayor Wagner does not think he is being frivolous about such serious mat ter.
 "Tt will be a great day when I can send the mayor a picture of the Air Force snow-making ma chine operating on the main down. town street of Anchorage All I will have to tell him is, "see?"
 Air Force officials have already expressed willingness to cooperate in providing the homemade snow if the machine arrives in time.
 Mayor Wagner told Strandberg in a telegram that New York City has plenty of snow to spare and offered it free of charge, F. o. B. New York City.

The Finance Committees yer sion of the bill was a substitute for one introduced jointly by Kubley and Boardman, which called for per diem of $30 and an annual salary of $2,250. Only a Token Gesture
 After the final passage, Board man and Kubley issued joint statement calling the committee substitute of their bill "only a token gesture"
 'There was absolutely nothing left of our bill except the num- ber,' they said.
 "In effect, our orginial bill pro- vided for a g per cent across the board reduction in per diem and annual salary. We felt this was reasonable.
 Based on 60 day annual ses- sion of the Legislature we cost out the committee substitute pro- posal at a total annual renumera- ton of $4,900 plus per diem while travelling to and from sessions, as against the present total of $5,400.
 "In reality, the reduction is only $500 based on annual 60-day sessions or a percentage decrease of % as 9oainSt ol1r Ori Cinal bill providing for a 25 per cent de- crease"
 Rep. John Nusunginya of Bar row said he voted against the bill because he felt the reduction was too great.
 Some of the legislators now will be getting less than legisla- tive employees" he said.

Air Force Will Use Three Railroad Trains As Rowing Radar Targets

JOPLIN, Mo. R - The Air Force plans 10 use three special railroad trains as rowing radar targets at many sites over the country where plane crews simu- late bomb drops. Radar crews on the ground score the crews on accuracy.
 The first radar bomb scoring train is nearing completion at Og- den Utah Air Force Depot. It will be sent next week to Milan, Tenn. where it will become operational March 1.
 Maj Eugene Butler, of a radar bomb scoring group near Joplin, already has gone to Milan, where he will take command of the first train crew.
 Each train will be manned by about 50 men. Others in the first detail will come from radar groups at La Junta, Colo, Bismarck, N. D., Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, St. Louis and Little Rock.
 The trains will be spotted 45 days at a time at remote loca- tions around the country so that each SAC plane crew can make at least one practice bombing run over each site.

West German Defense Ministry Refuses Social Invite from Soviet Union

BONN, Germany tR - The West German Defense Ministry refused Saturday to let it's gener- als accept the first social invita- tion ever extended them by the Soviet Union.
 Soviet military missions in Buende, Frankfurt and Baden Baden invited division and corps commanders and their wives to attend celebrations next Thurs day of the 43rd anniversary of the Soviet army and navy.
 Political circles in Bonn were astonished because the Soviet Union in the past always has summed high-ranking West Ger man officers, calling them ex- Nazis bent on revenge for defeat in World War II.
 All the defense ministry would say Saturday about the invita- ton was that it was politely re- fused without the grounds being given"

Police Files Will be Kept as Confidential Data

JUNEAU R Legislation closing criminal history and iden- tification files to the public is not intended to keep the press from information it has been re- ceiving in the past, State Atty. Gen. Ralph Moody said Saturday.
 A bill which classifies such criminal records and files as pri- Vileged material passed the House last week and was sent to the Senate for consideration.
 The measure places criminal Identification files in the same vital statistics category as adop- tion proceedings, juvenile records, medical records and records kept confidential by federal law and regulation.
 Moody said that under his inter pretation, the bill would simply close to public scrutiny police files on criminal records, identi- fication and investigations.
 "The intent of this legislation is simply to give police a legal right to withhold the same infor- nation they have been withholding in the past under their own de- partmental rules"
 ''T'he bill does not change in any way present policy of the department with respect to making information about complaints and criminal investigations available to representative of the press, but corrects a defect in the pre- sent law by making statutory what has long been a policy"
 Current statutes open our files to indiscrimiate viewing by any member of the public, whereby irreparable harm can be done to individuals. It is in the same degree of protection afforded adoption, juvenile and mental health records in Alaska and other states.
 ''The bill does not suppress the flow of information to the pub lie but protects the innocent and the unjustly accused from the witch hunter, the gossip monger and the blackmailer."
