And yet it is t.hese.same students and their l)arents, and friends, who will be among the first. to demand that Eichmann be drawn, quartered, disembowelled; that his viscera be sent. to Israel as a souvenir; that his plucked eyeballs be sent to West Germany as a warning for the neo-Nazis still lurking there.

Miss Jordan, but to a certain Mr. Tom Marchant, who, as you recall, had a considerable number of comments to make last week ncering freelom and the Amer ivan individual.

Marchant; a whimpering, wining, hedging little Lilliputian, ar .n- vou one of these misguided iimnanitarianists, as you call them? Ivlnically enough, you were just a little too free with the pronoun, W E. That is to say, I assume that you do think of yourself as an Alerican? You had so many criti v m to make against the American pt ple that upon reading the :otivle one would ask himself, what :namIr of a man1 would berate his cuntry so. Yet in the very same breath you turned around and in so many words defended our most basic of founding principles FRmE1DOM. I agree that the interpretation of fieedom has changed, but, you have to take into consideration that his is the 20th Century, not the INth. Freedom for the 18th Century Anierican meant freedom fiom out ide interference so that he could Pur-ue his own economic bent. IFr<edolm today' is comling to mean i otect ion from want, fear, and iwenity.

The Zionist movement, which is an extreme Jewish nationalist group, has been using the suffer ing of millions as a means of win ning support for the state of Islael. Most probably you are ignorant of the fact that Israel was carved (ut of Palestine, and as a result a million Palestinians are now living in misery along the borders of Israel. The Jews in Israel are using the houses and lands of these Fah-stinlian refugees while the latter are subsisting on UN charity. Tell me, Mr. Marchant, is it just to hound a man for 15 years? Is it just to abduct him from another country in flagrant disregard for International Law? Is it just to try him for deeds done in the line of duty? Is it legal to have retro active legislation in criminal law? Is it just to try him in a country where he cannot have recourse to witnesses? If he is tried for crimes against humanity, isn't the International Court the more aprolriate agency to try him? If he is being tried for cilmcs against the Jews, doesn't this raise the question of the loyalty of the Jews to the states in which they live? An Israeli ("M.'t cannot claim to represent all .Jews since the majority of Jews live outsidle Israel. I think that the Eichmann trial ha focusedl attention on the true .Jewish proble1m, i.e. the Zionist out look which makes of the .Jews a wpa)Orate and foreign community wherever they settle. Mlany intelligent .Jews around t. world have condemnedl the Eichman n trial because they hav'e come to realize that the aloofness of the ,Jew from the gentile world ha:.- been the cause of his misery. Finially, Mr. 3Marehant, if you knowv the O1(1 Test ament, you wvill agree wvith me that a Jewish judge ithe last pierson to try a man for gen'ocides since the .Jews as a nation have been guilty of genocide. Di car Editor: In the A pril 14 issue of "The G;ameock," Mr. Lee Jordon asked, "Who is on trial?" I would like to try to answer that question. Adolf Eichmann is a man who symbol izes inhumanity and perse enttion. iIe is on trial as this sym bol, not as an individual. T.he symbuol will certainly be convicted by all peoples throughout the world and it is of little consequence what happens to the man. Death n(,w woutld he a kindness towvard him. What country and what peop)le would befriend such a man, who has pe(rsonal ly admitted that he was; saddledl with the "solution of the Jewish problem," andl so ap)tly resolved it? The qu'estion w"as brought out as tA, whether the A-13ombings of ib roshima andl Nagasaki were less nhumane. I say they wvere not. Nor wvere the massacres of the Iouns, the plunder of the early A'\merica n Indians, the killing and b'eating of slaves before 1860, and many other instances which would ake the entire paper to just list. It even seems to me that the refuA al of the free nations to open their gates to the .Jews who did escape ''nce is just as inhuman as the actions of the Nazis. Yes, in my opinion, we are all enc trial for every act of unkind. I;ess wvhich (every individual has, throughout history, shown against his fellowv man. Why should Eichmann be tried in Israel? One ean., atonly arolina? Stacks An in Israel does he ,have a chance, however slim, to retain his lif,,. Israel is the only nation which ((011(1 free Adolf Eichmann and not be conde-mned by the rest of the world. Only the oppressed can for g;ve, as only the persecuted should (onvict. It would be a wonderful thing if there existed a world court, constituted of justices rep re.senting all ideologies, to try such o case. None exists now, but per haps this trial will speed the eztablishment of such a court if we are going to learn anything ft oli he proceedings. Why try the man at all? Abba Eban, Israeli minister of culture, siys, and I quote from the April 1.1 issue of The Charlotte Ob server, "If Israel has any single (uty, it is not to let the world forget the most awful event in hu mn history." This of course refers to Eichmann's "final soli tion." le further weit oil to say "memory is the father of con science." We must remember, lest we find ourselves faced with a similar situation once again. It c-nnot happen? Who, other than Sir Winston Churchill, said it could happen before the Second World War? Mr. Jordon says that Israel has no right to try Eichmann. I assume he means legal right. Has he read the laws governing the State of Israel? I venture the opinion that he has not. True, t.he United States dloes no( have the legal right, but United States laws (1( not govern Israel, or any othier nation except ouLr ownl. Israel has existed only since 19-18 but tihe ".Jewish Nation'' has e'xisted for oveir 2,000O years 1 rd( it is under a present -day1 in terp)retllt ion of laws just that old that Adolf E'ichmann face is I on"' is the aI(cuser, nlot thle State' 'of Israel. If1 this exp)lanaition of Israel's legal right does not satisfy you, follow thle conurtroom proceedings by all means available andl you wvill havi e the opportuity of see ig i.
