Senate Subcommittee
Objects to Retrial for
Nptorious use Koch
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- The
Army made a grave mistake in
reducing from life to four years
the sentence of use Koch, wife
of the former commandant of the
Buchenwald concentration camp,
and notorious war criminal in
her own right, but to reinstate
the sentence would violate the
democratic principles of "juri-
dicial finality," the Senate In-
vestigating Subcommittee said in
a report here. The Subcommittee
has conducted- an investigation
of the Army's reduction of the
Koch sentence since the • Army
action, taken on June 8, became
known in October.
Calling the case "an isolated
blemish on the vigilance and cer-
tainty" of democratic principles
of justice, the Subcommittee
charged the Army with the duty
of furnishing to German courts
all possible assistance should the
German courts decide to stry Frau
Koch for crimes against German
nationals. The Army has already
indicated, the Subcommittee re-
ported, that no further crimes
could be found on which they
could retry her without putting
her in double jeopardy.
Detroit Jews will "Salute the Israel Histadrut" at Music Hall on
Sunday evening, Jan. 9, of the demonstration formally opening
Detroit's 1949 Gewerkshaften campaign for $375,000.
