Verdict May Not Be Pronounced Until November

cities,. including Chicago, De-
troit, San Francisco, Washing-
ton, Houston, Salt Lake City,
Cincinnati, Dayton, St. Louis,
Rochester (N.Y.), Los Angeles
and Oklahoma City.
Correspondents were asked
whether they thought Eichmann
received a fair trial before the
three judges in Jerusalem, which
has been hearing the case for
four months; what they thought
his sentence should be if con-
victed; and what type of punish-
ment he should receive if found
guilty. Summarizing the results
of the poll, the Herald Tribune
reported:
"Almost without a single ex-
ception, the men and women in-
terviewed believed Eichmann
was guilty and that his trial had
proved him to be.
"The margin was very narrow
between those who thought
Eichmann should be put to death
for his crimes and 'those who
thought he should be given life
imprisonment. There was a
shade more opinion favoring the
latter. As to what the court
probably will decide: Most per-
sons questioned believed Eich-
mann would be found guilty but
that his life would be spared.
Many seem to think he would
get life imprisonment." .

until November, when the court

official delegation from the West
German government, which has
been observing the trial on be-

Eichmann is being moved from
the cell he has occupied at the
Beit Haam, in Jerusalem, during
the trial, to a cell in the Jale-

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
trial of Adolf Eichmann con-
cluded Monday — four months
since it opened, on April 11.
Presiding Justice Moshe Lan-
dau, in adjourning the- court, in-
dicated that the verdict will be
issued in November.
The trial ended after a sum-
mation of the defense by Dr.

The fact that. Nazi leaders, on
trial during the Nuremberg War
Crimes proceedings, had accused
Eichmann of committing crimes
against Jews, said Servatius,
means only that the Nuremberg
defendants had succeeded in
"misleading" the international
military tribunal trying them. If
the prosecution's arguments about
Eichmann's responsibility were
to be accepted, the attorney in-
sisted, "this would provoke joy
and satisfaction among the Jew-
haters of the world."
"If what the prosecution says
is correct," he continued with
sarcasm, "then all the Nazis still
being hunted can come out of

cution's version of Eichmann's
