Liberals Hit Kennedy’s
Letter to Arab Rulers
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Three Senator Kenneth Keating,
Senators raised a question on the New York Republican, question-

er the Administration was em- to Arab rulers on repatriation of
harking on a policy of wooing Arab refugees and the recent
the Arabs at Israel’s expense. executive department decision
to furnish rockets to the United
Arab Republic. Senator Keating
said the recent racket episode
appeared “another attempt to
woo the friendship of the Arabs
by one-sided concessions.”
Commenting on the Arab refu
gee situation, he said the “only
practical solution is the resettle
ment of most in Arab territory.
Yet the President’s letter of May
11 does not refer to resettlement
but speaks only of repatriation
and/or compensation.”
Senator Hugh Scott, Pennsyl
vania Republican, stated it was
“Disturbing” to read President
Kennedy’s letters to Arab rulers
on repatriation and compensa
tion of Arab refugees. He said
“resettlement” was not even
mentioned. He asked “Does this
omission represent a change of
view or repudiation of former
policy?”
Senator Jacob Jevits, New York
Republican, criticized President
Kennedy’s omission of reference
to “resettlement” of Arab refu
gees in the President’s letter.
He said the omission was “diffi
cult to understand. He pointed
out that “such an emission in
vites speculation” about a soften
ing of U.S. Policy.

Eiehmann Case
Nears End
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
marathon trial of Adolf Eich-
mann neared its end this week.
Attorney General Gideon
Hauaner completed his lengthy
cross-examination of the 66-year-
old former Gestapo colonel Dr.
Robert Servatius, Eiehmann’s
chief defense counsel, unexpect
edly took only two hours for re
examination. Members of the
three-judge court then question
ed Eiehmann, with readings of
proxy testimony for the defease
taken from witnesses in West
Germany to follow.
After that there is expected
to be a recess to enable Hauaner
and Servatiua to prepare their
summations. The trftgl is now
scheduled tentatively to end
August 4 with a verdict and
sentencing to follow after the
judges have pondered the mass
of evidence.
The ten days at cross svaanins-
tion of Eiehmann ended with a
qualified admission of a key role
in the death march of 60,000
Jews from Budapest to the Aus
