'Dachau Hard To Believe" > "We should not live in the 20tsj century .without seeing Dachau" in Ihe opinion of Lt. Alan G., Marcr, whose visit to, the camp was described in a letter to hi* ' parents, Mr. and Mrs, Jack Marer. Lt. Marer, stationed with tht 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment a t Straublng, Germany, spent his first leave touring various parts of Germany including Dachau, later visit* ing Austria and Italy. A major portion of the letter, devoted to the Dachau camp states, "I could not believe that man, who has created a Moses, built a St. Peter's and developed the modern world of medicin* could also construct and operato a .Dachau. It is too real to ba realistic—a man cannot understand lt with his mind; he must feel it, feel the bestiality and tho subhuman evaluations of those who conceived i t and of thoso who executed the horrible conception. But we should not live in the 20th century without seeing Dachua." "The letter says" The old camp now houses some recent Iron Curtlon refugees and 1* within the boundaries of a U.N. army post. A German Army soldier guards the entrance. The place is well maintained with s h r u b b e r y , flowers and well-trimmed grass. It's aspect, superficially is that of a well gradened park. There are wreaths, and memorials here and there, Including one with a star of David by a Jewish organization." "There is a large box along a path marked with o plain sign In Gorman, English, etc., 'Ashes were kept here'. "Further on one runs Into the crematoriums— bearing a unique and frightening resemblance to an old style bake oven. Then further along, one enters the principal slaughter house with four main rooms, labelled in this sequence, 1-undresslng room; 2-gag chamber; 3-denth chamber; 4 crematorium. The building is concrete with low ceilings—the gas chamber has outlets In the celling and could well be mistaken'for. a shower." "It Is a sobering place to stand —makes me forget the Mlchaelangelo's, the Rembrandt's, the letter further states. He also tells of his reunion in Munich with Barry Veret, .'son'of Mr. and Mrs. Pawl Veret, who docked in New York this Week after a tour of Israel and Europe. Marer went on to Rome, Veret, to Switzerland and Austria.

Klutznick Challenges Arab in London Address
Philip M. Klutznik, president of B'nnl H'rith, In n recent talk in London, Eng., challenged Arab leaders who had criticized ills appointment us a member of the United States delegation to the U.N. General Assembly. Mr. Klutznick, n former Omahan, invited the Arabs to provide him with the same opportunities for constructive assistance,to Arab Statci .as Israel has done by nllowlng him and his associates to participate in the development of Ashdot into the .second largest port In the Jewish state.
He said he would welcome his appointment becoming an Issue In American Middle East politics, and referred to the statement In a story in the British publication, "Tho Jewish Chronicle", that some Arab folks had been upset because of his appointment, on the grounds tlint lie, (Mr. Klutznick) was proIsrael nnd that his company was associated with the development of Aslidot." "My appointment", lie declared, "is still subject to the confirmation of the Senate, and I hope that
It becoihes an issue in the Senate, In the country, or anywhere else. For my answer to any such object Is simply this: I mil convinced that for the sake of the whole world there must bd peace in the Middle East and that cannot bo achieved, save by building up the standards of life of nil peoples living In that area. I would welcome tomorrow any opportunity which nny Arab nation would afford us to do for them what wo are prepared to do for Israel." Mr. Klutznick told his English audience that the time had come
to "turn from the blood and thunder of the differences between cousins in the Middle East to the constructive thing that might bring them together." Today, he continued, the Mid> die East has become a new front In the cold war, and lt has become of pnramount Importance what tho major powers would do In that region. Mr. Klutznick said the situation In tho Middle East calls for statesmanship, for healing and for conference tables ln» stead of military engagements or military aid.
