'Auschwitz Trial' In Sixtli Week

Frankfurt. Jan. 26 (JTA) — "Auschwitz trial" in which 22 defendants are c h a r g e d with participation in torturing and gasing millions of Jews and others in the notorious • Nazi death camps in Auschwitz and Treblinka, is entering its sixth week tomorrow with some of the defendants still to be questioned prior to hearing testimonies from several hundred witnesses, including Jews from the United States and Israel, who were rescued from these camps by the Allied armies after the collapse of the Nazi regime. Defendants who testified during the weekend insisted that when they worked on the staff of the annihilation camps they knew nothing about the poison gas killings of inmates there. However, one of them, Arthur Brietweiser, a 53-year-old clerk, admitted he was one of the first SS men to be instructed in th» use of the Zyklon-B gas used in the killing of the victims. He denied charges that he took part in the initial experiments in the killing of Jews. He testified that one day in 1941 "two civilians came from Hamburg and they showed us how to-disinfect barracks and how to wear gasmasks which had a special fitting against Zyklon-B gas." He admitted that the gas was used to kill inmate3 "and worked frightfully quickly." Dr. Willi Frank, 60, former chief dentist at the camp, admitted having k n o w n that gold teeth of victims were melted down in one of his dental stations, adding that "I also melted down gold plates." He also admitted he knew about the sterilization of women at Die camp but rejected the charge that ho selected inmates for gasing. Another defendant. Dr. Willi Schatz, also a .dentist, corroborated Dr. Frank's testimony that he and his professional associates did not participate in selecting prisoners for liquidation.

Sen. Keating Urges President to Visit State of Israel New York. Jan. 27 UTA)—Senator Kenneth B. Keating of New York has called on President Johnson to consider making a state visit to Israel as part of a three-point program he outlined to prevent Nasser's expansionist plans from "setting the Middle East ablaze." In accepting an award of the Jewish War Veterans, Senator Keating s a i d , "the United States must act now while the initiative is still in our hands." He urged that the following steps be taken without delay: 1. A d i r e c t and forthright fttatement should be made by the President that America is determined to maintain Israeli Independence—and b l o c k any threat to that nation's independence; 2. The U.S. Government thould join with England and France in a tripartite guarantee of Israel; 3. The President—just as the Pope has done—should consider paying Israel a state visit. . • "A personal visit by the President would do two things," he said. "It would be a symbol to the Israelis of our country's interest and concern. It would be a 'hands off warning to the Moslem nations. It would be a convincing gesture, to say the least of it. So far, we have obviously n o t b e e n convincing enough to Nasser and his bully boys that we do—in the last resort—mean business."

Immigration Issue Discussed by LBJ Washington, Jan 13 UTA) — The hope that the majority of the members of Congress would support the bill to amend the present immigration laws was expressed today by P r e s i d e n t Johnson in a meeting attended by members of the Congressional committees dealing with the bill and by representatives of :ili American organizations interested in immigration problems. The bill would gradually abolish the present natuonal-origins quota system, and replace it by objective criteria c o n c e r n i n g the qualifications of the immigrant, his relationship to persons in the United States, etc. President Johnson, addressing the meeting, described these new criteria as "full of common sense, common decency, which operate for the common good." The President pointed out that his predecessors, P r e s identa Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy, have all asked for a revision of the present statutes. President Truman said that the idea behind the present law was that "citizens of English or Irish origin were better Americans than those with Italian, Greek or Polish names." Such a concept "is utterly unworthy of our traditions and ideals," President Johnson declared. Pointing at the enormous discrepancies between the supply and demand of immigrant visas under the present law—Britain has a quota of 65,000 and uses less than'half of that; w h i l e Greece, for example has a quota of 309 and a current backlog of over 100,000 applications—the President urged members of the Congressional committees to act on the new bill under the Golden Rule to "do unto others as we would have them do unto us." The President stressed thqt the new bill, when enacted, would

The President was flanked by Senators James O. Eastland of Mississippi; Philip A. Hart of Michigan and Kenneth B. Keating of New York; and Congressmen Michael A. Feighan of Ohio, Peter W. Rodino of New Jersey, and Arch A. Moore of West Virginia, members of the J o i n t Committee on Immigration and Nationality Policy. Present at the meeting were also Myer Feldman, White House assistant; Abba Schwartz, administrator of the Bureau of Consular Affairs of the Department of State; Senator Edward Kennedy, brother of the late President; and Commissioner Ray Farrell, of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Congressman Feighan, chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration in the House of Representatives, in his brief remarks, declared that i n d e e d there should be a revision and a "very extensive look and see at the immigration policy." He declared that priority should be given to hearings on this bill, and promised as expeditious action as possible. Sen. Eastland, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, however, was somewhat more reserved, promising to look into the matter "carefully and very expeditiously."
