Eichmann Trial
With Summation
JERUSALEM (AP) Israel's at
torney general today called Adolf
Eichmann '"a murderer of mil
lions and an inveterate liar" in a
summation of the prosecution
case against the former Gestapo
colonel.
"There are, as we have seen,
massive documents which testify
to Eichmann as the central figure
in the murderous plans to exter
minate the Jews," prosecutor
Gideon Hausner declared,
Hausner ridiculed Eichmann's
defense that he had only a minor
role in the Nazi campaign against
the Jews.
"The accused was a very im
portant link in bringing Jews to
camps where he knew full well
they were going to be exterminat
ed," the prosecutor said.
Hausner cited evidence at the
Nuernberg war crimes trials by
such top Nazis as Hermann Gocr
ing singling out Eichmann as a
central figure in all Jewish mat
ters. Hausner made his charges as
he launched his sum up of the
Freed Prison
Inmate Sues
SEATTLE (AP) A former
state penitentiary inmate who was
freed after nearly 24 years inside
prison walls oh a murder convic
tion has filed a $95,000 civil dam
age suit against three former law
officers.
Gaither Horn, 66, asked the
sum in a complaint filed in U.S
District Court here. He named N.
J. Bailie, Pasco, former Franklin
County sheriff; Arthur Greenwood,
Pasco, former deputy, and Mar
vin Carnahan, Yakima, former
state patrolman, as defendants
Horn was convicted of murder
In 193S and served until July of
1959.
In (he complaint, he described
himself as a South Carolina-born
Negro who can not read or write.
He said the officers took him from
the jail where he was confined on
suspicion of murder to a ceme
tery where, he said, they threat
ened to bury him alive if he did
not confess to the murder of a
transient.
Horn confessed the murder and
was sentenced to the state peni
tentiary for first degree murder.
He was released in 1959 on a writ
of habeas corpus filed in federal
court.
During the hearing on the pe
tition for the writ, Bailie and the
two other former officers denied
thev took Horn to the cemetory.
Newsmen who attended the hear
ing reported the officers said they
took Horn "to visit the scene of
the crime."
Horn named the U.S. Fidelity &
Guaranty Co., which put up sure
ty bond for the officers, as co
defendants in the suit, asking $5,
000 under a "breach of duty"
claim.
Horn asked $75,000 from the
other three defendants under the
breach of duty cause of action
and $15,000 for "mental anguish."

Soviet Workers
Show Solidarity
MOSCOW (AP)-The Soviet Un
Ion today organized a show of
workers' solidarity behind Pre
mier Khrushchev's firm stand on
Berlin. Defense workers gathered
at meetings to pledge a longer
day at the plant if needed.
Khrushchev, who called for
East-West negotiations on Ger
many but stuck to his demand
for East German control of the
access routes to Berlin, told the
Soviet people Monday night that
no sacrifices would be necessary
to bolster the nation's military
power.
But defense workers throughout
the nation were summoned to fac
tory meetings immediately after
the speech. Communist party ac
tivists in fiery speeches called for
a show of support for Khrush
chev's policy and workers raised
their hands to approve previously
prepared resolutions on a longer
work day. The Communist party
paper i'ravua published a picture
of one solemn - faced group with
hands raised at a Moscow de
fense plant.
Ihe paper said the workers
meetings "approach the govern
ment with the request to permit de
fense plants to switch from a seven
to eight-hour working day for the
purpose of further strengthening
the defenses of the fatherland."
Khrushchev said the Soviet Un
ion may have to move divisions to
its Western borders and call up
reservists. But he told the Rus
sians that no extra appropriations
would be necessary for the arms
buildup.
The armaments which have al
ready been produced and are be
ing produced by our industry will
be sufficient," he said. "We shall
not make Iho people shoulder un
necessary, unjustified burdens,"

Tunisia s Asian-African support
ers lined up 47 signatures on re

the task over to Hammarskjold
after a week of trying unsuccess

The request is for an assembly

5 Workers Die
In Titan Mishap
DENVER (AP)-A 58-lon steel
and concrete door ' atop a Titan
missile launching silo slammed
shut with an earth-shaking crash,
killing five workmen and injuring
eight others Monday.
Three bodies were recovered.
Two others were pinned between
the door and the edge of the huge
silo. A spokesman at Buckley
Field, scene of the tragedy 15
miles west of Denver, said "it
may be as long as 72 hours be
fore the door can be raised."
"It presents considerable of an
engineering problem," said a
spokesman for one of the civilian
contractors on the $160-million
construction job.
Buckley Field Identified two of
the dead as Jerry E. Brancio of
Denver and George Graham of
nearby Aurora.
Only two of the injured men
were hospitalized, Charles W.
Postle, 42, of nearby Aurora and
Howard Hoffman, 56, of Littleton,
Colo. The others were treated and
released. Postle suffered a broken
back.
Witnesses said some of those
who were injured leaped into
safety nets placed at intervals in
the 165-foot silo.
The massive door was one of a
pair which are raised hydraulic-
ally as a missile rides to tne sur
face. A spokesman at the missile
complex said either a hydraulic
failure or failure of a retaining
cable caused the door to crash.
It cracked and split with a tre
mendous roar.
The tragedy scene was the first
of a Titan three-site complex to
be turned over to military con
trol. Each site on the Colorado
plains will have a capacity of six
missiles.
The prime contractor, Morrison

trol last week.

Moral Move
Founder Dies
FREUDENSTADT, Germany
(AP) Dr. Frank Nathan Daniel
Buchman, who founded the Moral
Re-Armament movement and
held that the world could not com
promise between good and evil,
died Monday night after a heart
attack. HE was 83.
His last words, an associate re
ported, were: "May man form
governments of strong men who
are guided by God."
That was in the spirit of his
preachings of many years that
God should rule the world. To him
this philosophy was so simple and
so self-evident that he never
seemed to understand the contro
versy that often surrounded his
movement.
It was founded as the Oxford
Group after World War I and re
named Moral Re-Armament in
1933. From the outset, the move
ment was attacked by Socialists
and labor leaders for an alleged
capitalistic bias, by others for
pacificism and by some religious
leaders for unorthodox theology.
But Dr. Buchman built up a
following of millions and became
a friend of kings and statesmen.
Every year more than 100,000 fol
lowers came to his headquarters
in Switzerland overlooking Lake
Geneva. Other thousands gathered
at the U.S. headquarters in Mack
inac Island, Mich.
One of the guiding principles of
the movement was once expressed
by Dr. Buchman as "the need for
unconditional surrender of the hu
man will to the will of God made
manifest in Jesus Christ as lord
and savior."

New Sentence Due
ttr AftiieArl Pnttiet
Ernest C. Watson, serving time
in the Oregon State Penitentiary
from Douglas County, has won the
right for return to this county
for resentencing in Circuit Court.
The right was gained on trial in
a suit brought against Clarence T.
Gladden, warden of the peniten
tiary.
Watson was sentenced to 10
years by Circuit Judge Charles S.
Woodrich on April 11, 1958, on a
charge of rape. He pleaded guilty
to the charge brought in a Grand
Jury indictment, and sentencing
was Imposed following a psychiat
ric examination at the Oregon
State Hospital, where it was deter
mined that Watson was not com
mittable to the hosnital.
He sought his freedom under the
post-conviction law, listing five
points which he claimed to be er
rors in law in proceedings leading
up to imposition of sentence.
On trial in Circuit Court for Mar
lon County Aug. 1, Judge George
A. Jones denied all but one claim.
This was that Watson was not pro
vided with a copy of the psychiat
ric report of the examining psychi
atrist. Judge Jones ruled that Watson
had sustained the burden of proof
as to this contention. He ordered
that the sentence imposed be va
cated and that Watson be returned
to Douglas county for imposition
of a new sentence. It was ordered
that the sheriff of Douglas County
has 30 days from that date to re
turn him here for resentencing.
Otherwise hi will be granted bis
freedom.
