Documents Are Presented At Eichmann Trial JERUSALEM <UPI) — A 23-year-old diplomatic report by President Kennedy’s father was brought into the Adolf Eichmann trial today. It was a report on the status of the German Jews which Joseph P. Kennedy sent to Washington in 1938 at the time he was U.S. ambassador to Great Britain.

that the Nazis considered the Jews to be “pickpockets, murderers and thieves.” Before Eichmann was put on trial here on charges of the mass mUrder of six million European Jews, his counsel, Robert Servatius, said “this will be a battle of documents.” His prophecy was correct. The morning session today was devoted almost entirely to presentation . of documents by the prosecution, ■ and the Kennedy report was one ; of them. It was written on Dec. 8, 1938 and read: I “During the day we had a telephone call from Berenger’s office , in Paris. We were Jtold that the matter of refugees (Jews) had been raised by Bonnet (Georges Bonnet, French foreign minister), with Ribbentrop (Joachim Von Ribbentrop, German foreign miulister). The result was very bad-; I “Ribbentrop, when pressed, had said to Bonnet that the Jews in i Germany without exception were ipickpockets, murderers and 'thieves. The property they pos- ’ I sessed had been acquired illegally. The German government, therefore, had decided to assimilate them with the criminal element of the population. “Th? property which they had acquired illegally would be taken from them. They would be forced to live in districts frequented by the criminal-classes. They would be under pblice observation like other criminals. They would be forced to report to the police as other criminals are obliged to do.” A German secret police document, dated Oct. 1, 1943, listed the heads of the various depart-I ments and stated that Eichmann was in full charge of deporting the European Jews and stripping them of their property. Scattered Showers Forecast In State By United Press International Scattered showers were scheduled to dampen the soggy Hoosier i countryside today, but not enough rain was expected to prolong the floods on the Wabash and White I Rivers. The muddy Wabash, roiled by two months of abnormal rainfall ' and melting snow, crested Wednesday at Lafayette, Logans-

j port, Wabash and Peru and began , falling slowly. Downstream, however, the river j level moved upward on both the I Wabash and the White, but no i major flooding was expected. After scattered light showers today and possibly tonight in some areas, Friday was expected to be dry. There was a chance of few showers in the extreme south portion again Saturday. Temperatures, meanwhile, remained somewhat on the cool side. Highs Wednesday ranged from s*.’ at Fort Wayne to 68 at Evansville, and overnight lows this morning from 43 at Goshen to 53 at .Evansville. Highs today will range from 52 to 64, lows tonight from 37 to the uppeF4os, and highs Friday from the lower 50s to 66. 'Quiz Kid' Is Dead I After Long Illness GARY. Ind. (UPD —Robert L. Burns, 21. long-time panelist on the “Quiz Kids” radio show, died 1 at Methodist Hospital Wednesday after a long illness. Burns was on! the show from 1946 to 1951 when it was at the height of its popu- , larity. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Burns, was a lifelong resident of Gary and graduated from Gary Emerson High School.

GE Executive 1 i Subpenaed On Price Fixing . WASHINGTON (UPD — The > Senate antitrust subcommittee to- • day expected General Electric Co. vice president Arthur F. Vin- • son to “tell them he didn’t know - his subordinates were scheming ! with competitors to rig prices. 1 Subcommittee Chairman Estes > Kefauver, D-Tenn., invited Vinson ■ to appear at the price-fixing hear--1 ing. Vinson declined, so Kefauver • issued a subpoena for him. > GE executives formerly one 1 notch below Vinson have testified 1 that he told them to meet with ‘ Wesinghouse, Allis-Chalmers and I oher companies to fix prices on ■ heavy equipment. Denies Charges But Vinson has said his conscience is clear. “Only someone who has been through what I have already been through will appreciate that further denials j will never catch up with the charges,” Vinson wrote the subcommittee. GE claims the convicted pricefixers acted without authorization and in violation of company policy. But George E. Burens, who was demoted and then fired from his $127,000 a year job, said Vin- i I son authorized secret meetings with competitors in Philadelphia in 1958. Burens spent 39 years with GE, rising from stock boy to head of the switchgear division. Alludes To Pressure He told the senators he didn’t like to rig prices, but was forced to under pressure from Vinson | and retired GE president Robert I Paxton. Paxton is scheduled to testify la tor. Another former GE executive | who was fired, Frank Hentschel, I 1 agreed with a senator that he was I “thrown to the wolves” after the I price-rigging scandal. He said company directives I warning against price-fixing were I circulated invariably when no I price-fixing was underway.

Fewer Newspaper Strikes In 1960 I NEW YORK (UPD — There I were fewer newspaper strikes last I year than at any time since 1955, I the American Newspaper Publish- I ers Association was told Wednes- 1 day. “In 1960 newspaper had a good I labor record,” was the report of I the ANPA special standing com- I mittee on labor relations, headed I by George N. Dale. The report was submitted to | the 75th annual meeting of the I ANPA. “Only 10 strikes hit 14 daily I papers to better the 1959 total of I 38 strikes against 59 papers,” the comm j toe said. I “Last year arbitration was par- I amount There were 90 awards. Only 10 strikes were called in an I effort to force settlement of dis- I 'putes. This sustained trend of I more arbitrations than srikes I ■during each of the past 10 years shows steady progress over the j previous decade with more strikes I each year than arbitrations. “The 1960 record would have been better for the public as well as newspapers and employes except for a substantial increase in I production costs due largely to featherbedding waste. Featherbedding on a newspaper, as in other industries, means pay for idle time or for duplicate work that produces nothing but waste.” The committee said strike activiy declined in 1960 for the third consecutive year. Five of the 10 I strikes were settled. The five I others resulted in continued pub- I lication without the striking union. Six of the 10 strikes were called I by the International Typographi- I cal Union. The others were initi- j ated by the American Newspaper I Guild, the Newspaper and Mail I Deliverers Union of New York, I the Teamsters Union and the I

International Association of Machinists. Only one strike has been called against a newspaper so far this year, the committee reported. This began on Jan. 18 against the Carbondale (Hl.) Illinoisan. It was called by the ITU. The committee praised the growing trend toward arbitration for settling newspaper disputes. It said that 50 years ago, arbitraion , was almost unknown outside the . newspaper business. In 1960, there were eight fewer newspaper . strikes and 54 more arbitrations than in 1950, it added. | - I Work Underway On Court House Painting The R. M.

Texas Is Ripped By Howling Windstorm By United Press International A howling Texas windstorm and minor flooding in western Pennsylvania today ruffled a generally placid weather picture across the nation. Driving winds up to 65 miles per hour whipped through Sherman in north central Texas dur- . ing the night, shattering plate J glass windows in dozens of downtown stores and disrupting power and communications for more than an hour. Gusts ripped a plane from its : moorings at nearby Sherman MuI nicipal Airport. Several homes were damaged at nearby Whites ' boro, Tex., before the sudden windstorm blew itself out over the plains. Western Pennsylvania’s flood threat appeared over as torreni, tial rains earlier in the week dim- | inished.
