Adolf Eichmann's lawyer ap-
pealed to the Israeli supreme
court today to set aside the
death sentence against the for
mer Gestapo officer on the
grounds that Eichmann was
brought to Israel illegally and
tried under an invalid law.
DR.. Robert Servatius, Eich-
mann's West German defense
counsel, also asked to be al
lowed to introduce new evidence
and to summon new witnesses,
including a high official of
West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer's government.
DR.. Servatius asked the five
judge supreme court to sum-
mon DR.. Hans Globke. So. a
government councillor in Adolph
Hitler's interior ministry, as an
expert witness on the workings
of Nazi racial laws.
Carrying Out Order
Eichmann, condemned to
the gallows as a major figure
in the Nazi slaughter of six
million European Jews, claimed
during his trial he was only
carrying out orders and had
pointed a finger at DR.. Globke.
Eich m ann charged that
DR.. Globke was directly involved
in working out the legal frame
work for deporting the Jews
and confiscating their property
the job he himself was &C
cused of carrying out as chief
of the Gestapo's Jewish af-
fairs section. He did not ask
during the trial, however, for
DR.. Globke to be called as a
witness.
Mr.. Adenauer has repeatedly
defended DR.. Globke, who
claimed that while serving in
the Hitler regime he saved
Jews lives even at the risk of
his own.
DR.. Globke is now an Adenauer
personal aide. If the supreme
court calls him to testify, West
German law requires that he
get permission from the chan
cellor-his immediate superior
he appears before the
court.
Eichmann Now Rested
The 56-year-old Eichmann
appeared rested after his three
months in solitary confinement,
since the special three-judge
tribunal condemned him to
death last December.
He wore the same blue suit
and striped tie that he wore
during his long trial, but his
complexion was slightly ruddy,
in comparison to his pallor
then. Occasionally drumming
his fingers on the narrow table
in his bulletproof glass cage,
he stared at his white-haired
defense attorney and occasion
ally turned his eyes toward the
five judges hearing his appeal
hone of whom had ever seen
him before.
The courtroom was packed
with 400 spectators, many of
whom suffered personally from
the Nazi persecution of Jews.
Eichmann avoided looking in
their direction.
Same Ground Covered
DR.. Servatius went over much
of the ground he had covered
during Eichmann's trial-pleas
rejected by the special tribunal
that pronounced the death SEN
tence.
The defense counsel charged
that Eichmann, who was cap
tured by secret Israeli agents
in 1860 while hiding in Argen-
tina under an assumed name,
was illegally brought to Israel
for trial.
THE state is the kidnaper in
this case," DR.. Servatius de-
clared. THE appellant cannot
ask for his rights before court
of the state which kidnapped
him"
Chief Justice Olshan, a rug:
ged, balding jurist who came
to this country when it still
was under Turkish rule, held
his head in his hand as he fol-
lowed the written arguments
which DR.. Servatius detailed in
his oral appeal.
Every man has the right to
have his case heard by an i'm
partial court free of prejudice
of any kind" DR.. Servatius
went on. The appellant (Eich-
MANN received a fair trial, but
