J. A. Lyone Heppner, current-
ly president of the Montreal
Advertising and Sales Execu-
tive Club, is a direct descend-
ant of John Heppner, pioneer
farmer, who in 1886 settled on a
farm near Wapella, approxi-
mately 40 miles northeast of
the previous Moosomin settle-
ment. Subsequently . some 20
Jewish families settled on farms
in t h a t neighborhood. His
mother, Mrs. Max Heppner, of
Winnipeg, has many old letters
from Ussishkin and Schmarya
Levin, and prayer books that
were brought from Russia over
100 years ago.

Meanwhile, roared the prosecu-
tor, Eichmann continued his de-
portations and even devised a
scheme to circumvent any new
orders to ease the deportations,
a plan to speed up deportations
so that the Jews would be in
Auschwitz. before their papers
for emigration could be pro-
cessed. Subsequently, Himmler,
did halt the limited emigration
as Eichmann had demanded, the
prosecutor noted. He said that
when during the testimony which
began in April, Eichmann was
confronted with documents de-
scribing his intervention, he had
"good grounds" to deny knowl-
edge of the documents. One of
them was a letter from . him to
his deputy asking for interven-
tion in the Reichstag for the
more radical policy a total halt
in all Jewish emigration.
During . all this time, the pro-
sedutor said, Eichmann fought a
running battle with the Hungar-
ian Chief of State, Admiral
Nicholas Horthy, who refused to
allow deportations beyond a cer-
tain point so Eichmann sent
trains over the border without
Hungarian approval.
Recalling that one of the trains
was stopped at the border by the
Hungarians and returned to Hun-
gary the prosecutor said this
"small - victory" over the Eich-
mann murder lust did not last
very long. Eichmann dealt with
this problem by summoning Jew-
ish leaders to his office and - kept
them there for talks while he
spoke on the telephone. Later,
Eichmann dismissed the Jewish
leaders and they then learned
Joint Defense Appeal,
ADL Withdraws from
Miami Jewish Appeal
MIAMI, (JTA) •— The Joint
Defense Appeal, the fund-rais-1
ing agency for the American
Jewish Committee, and the
Anti-Defamation League of Bnai I
Brith, has decided to withdraw
from the 1962 Combined Jewish
Appeal of the Greater Miami
Jewish Federation, but both
sides expressed the hope that
means would be found to cancel
the withdrawal.
The reason for the with-
drawal was given in a joint
statement by David Fleeman,
president of the Greater Miami
chapter of the American Jewish
Committee, and Paul Seider-
man, chairman of the Florida
region of the ADL. The state-
ment said:
"The Joint Defense Appeal
made its decision to withdraw
from the Miami Federation
based on the fact that for many
years allocations by the local
Combined. Jewish Appeal have
made it impossible for the
American Jewish Committee
and the Anti-Defamation League
to meet their responsibilities
to the Jewish community. Since
reaching our decision, there
has been evidence that Federa-
tion leaders have indicated a
desire to constructively discuss
possible alternative possibili-
ties."
- Sam J: Heiman, president of
the . Greater Miami Jewish
Federation, also indicated a
readiness to meet with JDA
officials to find some solution
for the impasse. He cited a
Federation .executive committee
resolution on the impending
withdrawal in which the Federa-
tion • said that _it "believes in
the central fund-raising and
planning purposes and objec-
tives for which Federation was
organized." •
"Withdrawal of the JDA from
the campaign would not be in
the. best interests of the or-
ganized Jewish community and
its progress in the future," the
Federation resolution said. It
urged that "further meetings
be held with the representa-
tives of the JDA for re-discus-
sion of their action."
that while they were in Eich-
mann's office, Eichmann's men
had loaded all members of the
recalled transport to motor
trucks and the trucks moved
over the border Auschwitz-bound.
Eichmann had kept the leaders
in his office during this opera-
tion so that they would be unable
to intervene with Admiral Horthy
as they had the first time.
The prosecutor said that this
was a typical example of the
tricks Eichmann used to send
Jews to their doom and which
he had also tried to use in his
defense testimony. The real Eich-
mann, said the prosecutor, is the
evasive, tricky deceiver. As a
last trick, when all others fail,
said the prosecutor, Eichmann
claims the documents against him
were forged "but he is known in
this guise as well. This is the
one he used in Hungary for
carrying out deception" against
the doomed Hungarian Jews.
Israel to Aid German
Soldier Who Resisted
Orders to Kill Jews
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Prime Minister's Office issued a
call for witnesses to help a Ger-
man war veteran who was intern-
ed in the Dachau concentration
camp by the Nazis for refusing
to obey orders to kill Jews.
The veteran, Franz Preissler,
now living in East Germany,
needs affidavits to obtain a pen-
sion as a war invalid and made
the request for help in a letter
to Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion. The veteran wrote that

he was court martialed for dis-
obeying the order to kill Jews
while in service in Poland. As a
Christian, he conducted himself
as a human being and refused to
obey, he wrote.
In his letter, he enclosed a
letter from Dr. Karl Schimmer,
now living in New York, and one
from Hans Kronoski, now in
Leipzig, both of whom affirmed
that Preissler was in Dachau in
1943 and 1944 and that he help-
ed many Jews escape death. His
request for affidavits from Israeli
survivors was sent to the Yad
Washem, the Israel Center for
Documentation of the Hitler holo-
caust, for dissemination.
