JERUSALEM — Israel offi-
cials reported Wednesday that
Adolf Eichmann has informed
one of the officers of the jail
where he is held that he has
completed writing his "third
volume of memoirs."
The former Gestapo colonel,
awaiting a verdict on his trial
last summer on charges of hav-
ing masterminded the wartime
Nazi slaughter of 6,000,000
European Jewish men, women
and children, told the jailer
that he plans to write several
more volumes.
Eichmann has been spending
most of his time since the close
of his trial _last August busily
writing. The police officer visit-
ing his cell frequently finds
the former Nazi official sub-
merged in his writing activities.
Eichmann stands at attention,
ready to answer any questions
about his voluminous writings,
while the officer goes over the
latest addition to Eichmann's
written material.
Two of Eichmann's guards,
both Oriental Jews, asked to be
relieved of the assignment.
They were understood to have
told their superiors that after
attending the trial and listen-
ing ,to the frightful testimony,
they could no longer stand the
sight of the defendant. Their
request was approved.
The verdict of the three-
judge court, which heard the
trial, is expected to be handed
down starting Dec. 11. How-
ever, the verdict, which is ex-
pected to require six days of
presentation, may be given be-
fore that date. Dr. Robert
Se r vat i u s, Eichmann's West
German attorney, has indicated
he expects a verdict of guilty
and that he will appeal that
verdict.
