BRUNSWICK, W. Germany <JTA)
-A former SS Major told a court
trying five other former SS officers
on charges of slaughtering 5400
Jews this week that he -had been
court-martial led for refusing to obey
a wartime order to round up Jews
and shoot them.
Frans Klas, 63, was a prosecution
witness against the five former of
ficers of the Second Cavalry Reg
iment of the SS. They were ac
cused of complicity in the killing of
the Jews in Pinsk in White Russia.
The five defendants have contended
that refusal to obey orders to kill
the Jews in Pinsk would have meant
their own execution. Klaus testified
that he was reduced to the rank of
private and sentenced to five years
in Jail for his refusal. The sentence
was later commuted to permanent
service in front-line ‘‘suicide com
mando’’ squads on the Russian
front.
Former General von Dem Bach
Selewski, now serving a life sentence
for the murder of Jews and partisans
during the war, also testified. He
said “I doubt if Gestapo head Hein
rich Himmler would ever have put
up for courtmarital an officer who
refused to obey such orders.” He
said this was so because such ac
tion would have made public know
ledge of the fact that such orders
were being issued. He added that
‘‘maybe Major Klaus did not realize
he was risking his life."
Germans Reported Apathetic
To Testimony at Current
Nazi Trials
LONDON (JTA) - The Germans
are reacting with apathy to the
repeated descriptions of “the most
staggering brutalities” emerging
from testimony at current West
German trials of Nasi war crim
inals, the Manchester Guardian re
ported from Bonn.
The Guardian correspondent re
ported that very few Germans be
had questioned on one occasion had
read beyond the headlines of a 32
column inch story of testimony at
the lhass murder trial in Frankfurt
of 22 former Auschwitz camp person
nel. The story described eye-witness
testimony of dogs tearing at the
bodies of women inmates in Ausch
witz.

of Boon, the subject of the trials
comes up frequently in private con
versations but it has not been dis
cussed recently in public forums,
he reported, "and most students do
not read details of newspaper re
ports on the trials.”
He added that he had found that
many Germans were taking a legal
istic view that* such trials were now
inadvisable because courts should
not convict on testimony taken 20
years or more after the events.

Egyptian Air Force
Captain Who Defected
To Israel Explains
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Captain Mah-
mound Hilmi, the Egyptian Air
Force pilot who startled both Israel
and the Arab world last January by
defecting to Israel in his plane,

Asked why he chose Israel he,
replied: “I had two possibilities, an
Arab country or Israel. Hie Arab
countries are unstable, therefore I
chose Israel.”
