The defense and the judges
made much of the fact, however,
that the witnesses had not seen
the special Peters' brand being
used in the gas chambers.
• Dr. Peters, an authority on the
production of insecticides, man-
aged the "German Corporation
for Vermin Extermination"
(DEGESCH) during the war and
furnished the Auschwitz SS suf-
ficient "Zyklon B" gas crystals
to asphyxiate millions of human
beings.
He is on trial for the seventh
time in seven years, charged
with aiding and abetting mur-
der in 300,000 cases. He continues
at liberty as a management ex-
ecutive in a Cologne subsidiary
of the IG Farben chemical em-
pire.
- A Jewish pharmacist from
Munich, Dr. Fritz Strauch, told
the court how he arrived at
Auschwitz in 1943. On the rail-
road platform a "selection" took
place—healthy men in the mid-
dle and sick and elderly to the
right, women and children to
the left—among them his own
wife.
The prisoners on the left and
on the right were put to death
in the gas chambers within ten
minutes, he later learned. He
was assigned to the camp phar-
macy where he remained until
Auschwitz was evacuated in Jan-
uary of 1945.
Dr. Strauch thought he recog-
nized Peters as a repeated
Auschwitz visitor, but he refused
to take an oath on this point
after 11 years. Among the court
exhibits, he identified a "Zyklon
B" can as the same type that
was stored in the Auschwitz
pharmacy, frequently withdrawn
by SS men and then replaced by
new shipment received from the
DEGESCH plant.
He could not acknowledge,
however, that he had seen the
gas chambers in actual opera-
tion.
Two other witnesses, a Ger-
man political prisoner and an
SS physician, the latter pre-
viously acquitted by a Polish
Crime Court a Cracow, saw the
gas chambers in operation, but
could not definitely establish
whether Dr. Peters' Zyklon B."
was the exterminatory agent.

"The flowers appear on the
earth; the time of singing is
come."—Song of Songs 2:12_
The burgeoning earth in primal
green.
Bursts forth—a promise and a
pledge
Of greener grass and verdant
trees,
Of great relief and greater ease
From storms that passed from
boreal gales,
Retreating to their bound do-
main.
Oh wake my roul to newer hopes,
Shake off all gloom!
The spring is here with buds
and bloom.

south of Eingedi which is sur-
rounded by steep cliffs rising to
a height of 1,000 feet, uncovered
last year the remains of two
Roman camps on the heights at
either end of the canyon. Also
unearthed was a tunnel hewn
into the side of the cliff just
below the northern Roman
camp. .
In the tunnel were the skele-
tons of women and children and
remnants of rough woolen ma-
terials, s h o e s, earthenware
utensils and food—all in good
shape because of the exceed-
ingly dry climatic 'Conditions.
The findings confirm, accord-
ing to the Department of An-
tiquiites, that 'toward the end
of Bar Kochba's rebellion a
group of rebels fled with their
families to this part of the des-
ert, taking refugee in inaccessi-
ble caves. The Romans appar-
ently settled down above them
in an attempt to starve them
into surrender.
During the same excavations,
it was announced, potsherds
and the remains of three small
settlements of the bronze . age
were also found confirming the
existence of a bronze age civil-
ization in the Judean desert.
The archaeologists used 300-foot
rope ladders to descend into the
caves from above. To protect the
men against the possibilities of
dangerous falls, they were
equipped with parachute packs.
