AND IS GROWING JEWISH NATIONAL FUND 3 Piedmont Center, Suite 416, Atlanta, Ga 30305 404-237-1132 At the UN Blum slams Waldheim by Yitzhak Rabi UNITED NATIONS (JTA) - Yehuda Blum, Israel’s Ambassa dor to the United Nations, has Sharply criticized the performance of Secretary General Kurt Waldheim who, he charged, lacked “moral leadership,” adding, the Secretary General, instead of taking issue with the “majority of totalitarian regimes” at the UN which vote for resolutions deviating from its Charter, carries out these resolutions. While Israel has in the past had differences of opinion with Waldheim and has criticized some of his actions, Blum’s remarks last week were the most outspoken attack ever made by an Israeli envoy on the Secretary General. Blum spoke as the guest of honor at a luncheon tendered here by “UN We Believe," a private, non-profit organization that describes itself as serving the business community as liaison to the UN and its specialized agencies. The Israeli Ambassador claimed that the UN is in a constant state of decline and charged that the UN today is ruled by a majority of countries which he characterized as dictatorships. At the same time, he said, the minority of its members of the free world actually finance the world organization. He contended that the UN consistently departs “from its principles and its Charter.” Blum warned that as long as the UN is ruled by a “majority of totalitarian regimes I don’t see how the situation can be altered." He noted, however, that the UN is extremely sensitive to public criticism in the free world, especially from the U S. and from BONN (JTA)—Three former Nazis will go on trial in October for their alleged role in the murder of more than 33,000 French Jews between 1942 and 1944, the Cologne .prosecutor’s office announced this week, rhe three are Kurt Lischka. who was Hitler’s deputy commander of the Gestapo in France from 1940 to 1943, and two of his colleagues, Herbert Hagen and Ernst Heinrichsohn.

In 1950, a French court sentenced Lischka in absentia to hard labor for his part in deporting 100,000 French Jews and communists to Nazi concentration camps. He remained free, however, because the West independent groups. He pointed out that countries of the free world at the UN face problems when they try to form a united front against the majority because “the energy crisis is very much reflected in what is going on in this organization.” Therefore, he said, the free countries of the West do not want to antagonize their oil sources. German constitution prevented German subjects from being extradited But in 1975, West Germany’s Parliament ratified a treaty with France permitting Lischka and his colleagues to be tried in Cologne. The prosecution spokesman said the three men are charged with being responsible for deporting at least 73,000 Jews to Auschwitz and other death camps in Poland and that of these, 33,592 were sent to their deaths in gas chambers According to the prosecutor’s office, Lischka, a retired clerk living in Cologne, has not responded to the charges but the other two men have denied personal responsibility Former Nazis face trial in Germany
