he said.
Peering bwlistily through his
heavy horn -rimmed glasses,
Eichmann sat in his glassed-
in 'cage throughout the day
while hour after hour Haus
ner battered away with legal
arguments designed to prove
the , Israeli court's right to
hear the Eichmann case.
Hausner was trying to de
molish a move Tuesday by
Elchmann's German defense
counsel,- Robert Servatius, to
get the Israeli court to rule
Itself Incompetent to hear the
case and have it handed over
to an international tribunal

Reorganization
Bills Defeated
Salem (UPD The Senate de
clared its opposition to any
extensive government reor
ganization Tuesday by reject
ing five natural resource .de
partment bills that form a key
part of Gov. Mark 'Hatfield's
plan.
The- votes, which ranged
from 14-13 to: 2d-7, spelled
probable failure for most of
the rest of the governor's plan
to streamline Oregon govern
ment under a cabinet system.
The bills would have creat
ed a natural resources depart
ment with a director named
by the governor. The depart
ment would have Inpluaea di
visions on fish, game, agri
culture, boats - and harbors,
wter, resources, mineral re
sources and forestry. ...
Policy-making boards would
have . become advisory, in
creasing the- strength of the
chain of command from the
governor to the now semi-independent-
agencies.
Voting for all the bills
were Sens. Alfred Cbrbett,
Carl Francis, Thomas Maho
ney, Boyd OverhuJse, Walter
Pearson, Robert Straub, and

Welch Claims Americans Duped Into
Thinking They Are Fighting Communism
Los Angeles - (UPD - Robert
Welch, head of the controver
sial John Birch Society, said
Tuesday night the American
people and government lead
ers have been duped into
thinking they were fighting
communism when actually
they were playing into the
hands of Soviet Russia.
Welch, 61, a retired Bel
mont, Mass., candy maker.
spoke for an hour and a half
before an enthusiastic capaci
ty crowd of 6,000 persons who
paid $1 each to get into Shrine
auditorium to hear him.
"For years," he said, "we
have been taken steadily
down the road to communism
by steps supposedly designed,
and presented to the Ameri
can people, as ways of fight
ing communism. The whole
foreign-aid program is an ex
cellent example."
. Welch outlined what he de
scribed as the Communist
"principle of reversal" as their
main weapon.
"By the 'liberation' of a
country, for Instance, such as
Cuba." he said, "the Commu
nists mean the imposing on
Cuba of a tyrannical Commu
nist dictatorship."
In his dissertation on the
Communist principle of re
versal, Welch mentioned the
name of the late Sen. Joseph
R. McCarthy and (i-ew pro
longed applause from the
crowd.
Welch said the Communists
have used the tactic which he
described as "conquest by
catch phrase" when it suited'
their aims.
Welch said if the late Sen. the Communists back a whole
Robert Taft had been elected generation In their plans, for
president he "would have set global conquest"; ;
