Swastika irr Detroit.. Plot to Kidnap Goldmann..
Ben-lvi's Scriptural Quotation Rejected Clemency
the Jewish Music Center of the Detroit Jewish Folk
Chorus, also on Schaeffer, last Saturday. The cir-
culars, mimeographed in illiterate English, warned
that "the ruthless murder of Adolph Eichmann will
be avenged" and that "jews guilty of buying isrial
bonds will be gassed."
Among the appeals Israel's President Ben-Zvi
received for clemency was one from Eichmann's
wife, Vera. She asked for mercy for the "mother of
four children." On the margin of Vera Eichmann's
telegram. Ben-Zvi wrote:
There were repercussions against the hanging
Eichmann from unknown pro-Nazi sources in
Detroit.
A large swastika was painted in bright red
fast Friday night on the Ahavas Achim Synagogue
building's Cambridge Street entrance on the corner
of Schaeffer. Under it, in large capital letters, also
in bright red, was the word: "Butchers."
Anti-Israel and anti-Jewish circulars, threaten-
ing Jews with the gas chambers, were thrown into

"As thy sword hath made women childless, so
shall thy mother be childless among women" — a
quotation from I Samuel 25:33. It was a reference
to the last words of Samuel before he "hewed Agag
in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal."
It was revealed that a plot was being hatched
by Nazis to kidnap Dr. Nahum Goldmann during his
recent visit in Bonn and to hold him hostage in
exchange for Eichmann's life. The scheme was
stymied by West German counter-intelligence.

ProawlViszis Retaliate for Eichmann's Hanging
Argentine Anti-Semites Toss Bombs
World Reaction Favored Nazi's _Execution
13UENOS AIRES, (JTA) — Two "Molotov cocktail" bombs were tossed Sunday from a passing automobile against the Union of
the
Israel School on Paso Street. At about the same time, occupants of another speeding car machinegunned the windows in front of was
offices of the Zim Israel Navigation Company, on Intalcahuano Street. Only material damage was caused by both attacks. and no one
injured.
The attacks are believed to have been the work of extremists seeking revenge for the execution of Adolf Eichmann who was captured
in Argentina and brought to Israel for trial. Argentine police posted special guards, as soon as word of Eichmann's hanging was received
here, around the buildings occupied by the Israeli Embassy, Jewish centers and synagogues.
Sunday morning, leaders of DAIA, central organization of Argentine Jewry, held an emergency meeting with Dr. Jorge Walter
-
Perkins. Minister of the Interior in the Argen-
tine government. They requested that special
security measures be taken to protect Argentine
Jewry and Jewish institutions from further
attacks by extremists and terrorists.
(A Jewish Telegraphic Agency dispatch
from Montevideo reported that government
police of Uruguay had adopted special security
measures to guard the Israeli Embassy and
synagogues, and to prevent any violent actions
in protest against Eichmann's hanging in Israel.)
The police guards stationed around various
Israeli and local Jewish buildings emphasized
the rash of threats and disturbances that have
occurred since the Eichmann story in Israel had
begun to reach the climax achieved there with
Eichmann's execution. Bombs have been thrown
against other Jewish schools: in a provincial city
an Israeli flag was burned on a main street;
and the wall outside the Buenos Aires cemetery
for heroes was daubed with an inscription, in
red letters. proclaiming: 'If Eichmann dies —
death to thp Jews. -
The Argentine Foreign Ministry issued a
communique, stating:
"According to information received from
Jerusalem, Adolf Eichmann has been executed.
The Foreign Ministry regrets that Israel's jus-
tice tribunals did not take into account the
explicit provisions of Argentine law, according
to which the condemned man should have suf-
fered lesser punishment.
"This manifestation does not in the least
diminish the energetic and indignant repudia-
tion of crimes against humanity in which the
sentenced man was said to have been involved
as author or co-participant, according to the
sentences pronounced by the court in Jeru-
salem. In the history of modern times, these
crimes. which were directed more against
humanity than against the Jewish people, will
never be obliterated. Neither will they be oblit-
erated with the expiation of one human life —
an action not foreseen in our criminal code."
