JERUSALEM, April 20.
Eichmann was cool and matter
of fact-with one notable ex-
ception-during the long ses-
sionS when he told his story to
his Israeli captors and a tape
recorder, an informed source
said today.
"He showed q little feeling
when, he said he expects to
get the death sentence" the
Israeli informant reported.
81 know I may face a sent
ence of DEATH" said Eichmann
in a recorded statement that
was played back yesterday for
the three-judge court trying
him on charges Of mass murder
of Europe's Jews.
Il cannot claim mercy be-
cause am not worthy of it,"
Eichmam continued. a. ]

Court Hears Tapes

Argentina last year. The prose-

Salinger said. he would not
specify any events.
Mr.. Salinger said the Presi-
dents trip aboard the aircraft
carrier would be rescheduled.
Mr.. Kennedy had planned to
fly to Mayport, Fla, near jack
Sonville, Saturday morning,
board the communications ship
Northampton and go out to sea
aboard that ship to transfer by
hehcopter to the independence.

vinced that they came only to
cheer him. ..
Though the revolt was put
down after bitter fighting at a
cost of some 400 lives, the
regime is still quite unshaken
in its belief that the army is
loyal ana that the whole Incl
dent was largely a connection
OF the foreign press.
Some Reforms Promised
At the same time - and
again largely at the urgent in
siStence of friendly ambaSsa-
dors - certain reforms have
been promised for the Presi-
dents coming term. For the
military, these included a more
unified chain of command and
an end to- arbitrary Presi-
Dental appointments to posi-
tions of top responsibility.
On the civilian side, there is
a plan for setting up ministries
which for the first time will
exert real authority in the
fields of economics, social well
fare and defense. The basic OBJ
jective in both cases is the
same: Less concentration of
power in the hands of the
President and his family, a
greater sense of national parti-
cipation at all levels in de-
cisionS which will determine
the destiny of the country.
That these reforms will come
in time and make enough i'm
provement to save the regime
would be an optimistic guess.
BY the very nature of things,
some new attempt by the army
to seize power cannot be ruled
out. For President Diem'S Bit
terest critics, this possibility
appears as the last chance
for the ultimate salvation of
Wet Nam. While for the pes
'slrnists = of which there are
many - it appears as an al
most sure way of Fastening a
Communist, victory.

The trial is in recess today

When the hearing resumes
tomorrow, Attorney General
Gideon HauSner is expected to
play tape recordings Of Eich-
mann's account of events in
Hungary in 1914. Mr.. Hausner
told the court earlier Eichmann
was a key figure in the killing
of 437. 400 of the 800, 900 Jews
living in Hungary at the time.
Focus on Hungary
There are special reasons for
focusing on the anti-Jewish
action in Hungary:
l.. Mr.. Hausner said many
NaziS were convinced by 1914
that defeat was inevitable, and
that sEichmann and his heuten-
ants worked with particular
speed to. deport the Jews to
death camps instead Of aban-

gram.
O.. Mr.. Hausner said Admiral

tried to Illustrate Eichmann.

to a selected audience while a
crowd of several thousand COM
mon folk were left waiting in
the square outside.
POpularizatiOn Attempted ~
To be sure, at the urgent
proddings of his American ad-
viserS, an effort was made to
popularize the image, Madison
Avenue style, for the benefit
of the world press. Visiting
journalists were astoniShed to
find themselves greeted at the
airport by charming official
hostesses, escorted around the
town, wined and dined, whisked
off to remote parts of the
country and even, on a couple
of occasions, allowed to pene-
trate the sacred precincts of
the palace.
All this was the efficient
work of Jorge Ortiz, representa-
tive of a New York public re-
lations firm, who was hired
for the occasion by the gov
ernment of Wet Nam and given
a remarkably free hand.
Whether this effort will be a
successor will continue - is
problematical. And whether a
better press in Washington,
Paris or London is a cure for
the ills of the Diem regime
is more problematical still.
At any rate, the product has
not been easy to sell. The image
that came across to the visitors
hardly conformed to the
popular notion either of an
oriental despot or a champion
of freedom. Small and round
with an apologetic smile and
weary eyes, President Diem
conducted himself during his
encounters with the world press
with an air of suppressed
suffering. His voice, which has
a way of trailing off at the
end of his sentences, rarely
deviated from a dispirited
monotone. The only real fire
was directed not against his
Communist enemies but an
Interpreter who seemed to
have trouble putting the Presi-
dents rambling answers into
coherent French.
Brother Different
But no one could fail to be
convinced of the Presidents S
sincerity. Feudalistic and
paternal as he may be no one
can doubt his devotion to the
cause OF saving Wet Nam from
communism. A profoundly
piouS Catholic, President Diem
seems to be guided more by a
sense Of divine mission than q
concern with normal human
affairs. His is no ordinary
dictatorship based on the
theory that might makes right.
On the contrary, one feels in the
man a passionate conviction
that the rightneSs Of his cause
is bound to triumph in the end.
Brother Nhu, makes a diff
ferent impression.

ists," one is told. Diem will
lose it because he's Diem"
The Judgment against a
President who has just won a
national election by a popular
majority of close to 80 per cent
may seem a bit odd. But given
the circumstances under which
the election was won and the
critical spot that Wet Nam is
in today, it has certain vail
dity.
Admitting that the major
threat is a war of subversion
supplied and directed from out
side the country, the problem
Of keeping afloat a regime
whose glaring weaknesses are
apparent to everyone is hardly
less crucial.
Weakness" may seem like
a strange term to apply to a
government which is for all
practical purposes a dictator
ship run by two resolute and
highly dedicated men. Weak
ness, certainly is no part OF
the character of President Ngo
Dinh Diem or his brother Ngo
Dinh Nhu, his only close per-
sonal adviser. Rather it is in
the relationship of these two
men with the people, whose
attitudes and loyalities ulti-
mately will determine the out
come Of the struggle against
communism here.
HO Chi Mimi VS.. Diem
What this country needs is
a hero" said a neutral diplo-
mat recently. 1.-The tragedy is
that today. seven years after
the Indo-China war, the real
national hero for the great ma
jority Of Wet Namese every
where is the man who liberated
the country. It's unfortunate
that Ho Chi Mini happens to
be the president Of North Wet
Nam, a Communist and the
sworn enemy of Ngo Dinh
Diem"
However this may be, the
popular image Of President
Diem and his regime has GER
tainly left much to be de-
sired. Inclosed within his huge,
cream-colored rococco palace
surrounded by a high iron rail-
ing and scores of white-uni-
formed guards, the President
is as remote from the average
man as any colonial administra-
tor could possibly be. Even dur
ing the electoral period the
Presidents Campaign" was
limited to q couple Of radio
broadcasts and one sortie to
the town hall in Saigon where
a short speech was delivered
Evening star., 1961-04-20

An intense, chain-smoking
intellectual, Mr.. Nhu takes his
role as the regimes ideologist
and party organizer very
seriously, indeed. For hours at
a time, he eXpoundS his
philosophy of "personalism'
which is the regimes Official
doctrine and it's answer to
communism on the theological
plane. -..
The main drawback Of the
doctrine, it seemed to some re-
porterS, was that it takes an
other metaphysieian to grasp
its subtle Shadings and bal
anceS-betWeen liberty and dis
cipline, between materialism
and idealism, between the need
for development and the limi-
tationS of the personalist state.
Mr.. Nhu himself is an i'm
preSsively intelligent man and
perhaps an able political or
ganizer. But his philosophy
summed up by one cynie as "a
kind of existentialiSt fascism"
seems hardly a practical re-
cipe for a nation at war.
| What matters far more to
the average Wet Namese is
that these two men should hold
virtually all the power Of the
state. Government by family
is a phrase one hears often in
Saigon. And with it, an impli-
ication of corruption which,
though improved, is widely be-
lieved. -
The unwillingness of Presi-
dent Diem to delegate author
ity and his mistrust of people
outside his family circle may
be more justified than his
critics would allow. But they
add immeasurably to political
discomfort at the same time
they increase the isolation OF
the President and his brother
from the reality outside the
palace gates.
FrustratiOn Widespread
This discomfort is not con-
fined to intellectual circles in
Saigon. The abortive army
coup last November IL may
have involved-as the govern
ment claims-no more than a
score of disgruntled officers,
1t was hastily organized and
badly bungled. But that it was

Not to President Diem, of

morning were duped into think
ing that they were going to
save the President from his
own palace guard. AS for the

OTTAWA. May 18.-A First
Lady only four months, 81
year-old Jacqueline Kennedy
scored a major triumph here
on her first state visit abroad.
Flying back to Washington
today. she had the acclaim of
top Canadian officials and
the man in the street. She
had been applauded in
Parliament and by thousands
Of others.
And. if Canada was a sam
pie. it was predicted Mrs.
Kennedy's appeal during a
visit to Paris late this month
may be even greater.
Ottawa, capital of a ma
ton where many citizens are
Of French descent, provided
Mrs. Kennedy something of
a trial run for her Paris
trip.
She has conquered all of
our hearts," was the way the
speaker of Canada's Senate,
Mark Drouin, summed it up.
And Prime Minister John
G. Diefenbaker told Parlia-
ment people in the streets of
Ottawa had greeted Mrs.
Kennedy with "a special glow
of warmth"
Though the appearance
may have been a tiring one,
Mrs. Kennedy was acclaimed
by Members of Parliament.
AS she took her place in
the crowded gallery among
officials wives, there was the
traditional humping of ap-
proval on green blottered-
desks by some 365 members
Of the House and Senate

Amid the applause, eyes
