Golds Meir Says UNRWA's Dr.DavisExceededAuthority
If you were in the ghetto at
Nowy Sacz (Neu Sandez) in
Poland, do you recognize this
man? He was a Gestapo mem-
ber. He is accused of brutal
assault and murder of Jews.
The World Jewish Congress
in New York needs positive
identification for formal charges
to be brought against him by
the West German authorities.
His whereabouts are known, but
witnesses are needed who could
positively identify and name
him.
If you recognize him, contact
Dr. Nehemiah Robinson, Direc-
tor of the World Jewish Con-
gress Institute of Jewish Af-
fairs, 15 E. 84th St., New York.

gees." In his report to the As-
sembly, Dr. Davis had conceded
that there are "at least 100,000
dead" on the UNRWA relief
rolls, but absolved the Arab
governments of responsibility
for failure to "rectify" the relief
rolls.
Concerning Dr. Davis' conten-
tion that "works" objective in
the title of his agency is "unfeas-
ible," Mrs. Meir stated: "There
are evidences_ of social and eco-
nomic processes which would en-
able the integration of many
refugees in the Arab states, even
under present conditions, even
in the face of objections by Arab
leaders. It is such a process that
could lead to a natural solution
of the problem. The solution
would be expedited if the Arab
rulers sincerely wanted a con-
structive solution."
Mrs. Meir expressed confi-
dence that, "despite the gloomy
prospects for a Near East set-
tlement or agreement with the
Arab states, we are convinced
that day will come." The For-
eign Minister announced that
she expects to leave for New
York a week from today, to
participate in the debate on
the Arab refugee problem
scheduled by the Special Politi-
cal Committee of the UN Gen-
eral Assembly.
In a "vocal newspaper" gath-
ering at Tel Aviv, Mrs. Meir
discussed not only Dr. Davis'
attitude but also the Israel dele-
gation's vote, in the UN General
Assembly, on a resolution con-
demning South Africa's apartheid
policy.
While Israel's decision to sup-
port the UN resolution was a
difficult one for Israel, to make,
she said, there was no alternatiVe
for Israel but to recognize and
identify herself with the justice
of the position of the African
nations sponsoring the UN cen-
sure motion, just as the African
states recognized and supported
the justice for Israel's demand
for direct talks with the Arabs.
Israel was aware of the respon-
sibility of its position in view
of the Jewish community in
BONN — The principal defen-
dant in the trial of 13 former
Nazi storm troopers and secur-
ity police who are charged with
the murder of 180,000 Jews in
the Chelmno concentration camp
in Poland testified that he got
"madly drunk because I knew
what was going on."
Gustaav Laabs, 60, an SS ser-
geant, gave that reply during,
initial questioning of the defen-
dants. He was the driver of a
gas van into which Jews were
crammed by SS men to be
killed. The 200-page indictment
which took a year to prepare
charges the 13 defendants with
murdering or abetting the mur-
der of the 180,000 Jewish men,
women and children from 1941
to 1944.
The nine-member jury in the
provincial court here Monday
heard Walter Bock of Hanover,
50, testify at the trial opening.
He said he did not mention his
"service" in . Chelmno in his de-
Nazification proceedings because
nobody asked me." He was
cleared and in 1947 returned to

Dr. Adelbert Reiff, in de-
South Africa, she declared, add-
ing that "there was no alterna-
tive."
The foreign policy debate
was marked by criticism Tues-
day of Mrs. Meir for not re-
jecting specifically the latest
proposals . by Dr. Joseph E.
Johnson, UN Palestine Concil-
iation Coimnission special
envoy for the Arab refugee
problem.
Mrs. Meir in effect rejected
the proposals which call for self
determination for the refugees
on whether they would prefer
compensation and settlement in
the Arab countries where they
now live or to return to former
homes in Israel. She cited a
Knesset resolution of November
1961 which said there could be
no returning of the Arab refu-
gees to Israeli territory "and the
only solution to the problem is
their settlement in Arab states."
One of the critics was Mena-
hem Beigin, leader of Herut, who
was joined by Yaacov Hazan of
Mapam, who said it was not
enough to reject the Johnson
plan. He said Israel must initiate
a peace plan and proclaim again
and again its readiness to accept
a certain agreed number of refu-
gees as part of a general peace
agreement.
The Herut leader criticized
what he termed the government's
"Germanophile" policy which he
called a "paradox." He said that
while. Israel was selling West
Germany arms on security
grounds it was precisely in the
security area that Germany had
injured Israel as no other nation
had. He said it was impossible
that West German authorities
did not know that their missile
experts were doing in Egypt and
he asked why the government
had not sought to arouse world
opinion against West German
missile help to Egypt since a
time information campaign
might have nipped the matter
in the bud."
He also criticized Israel's
vote in the General Assembly
for the resolution condemning
South Africa for its racist
apartheid policies. He offered
the criticism not on the issue
of racial discrimination "which
Israel abhors" but on grounds
that Israel should not support
a "double standard" and hy-
pocrisy" at the United Na-
tions. He asserted that there
was slavery in Yemen but no
one proposed sanctions against
Yemen, and those voting
against South Africa included
dozens of totalitarian coun-
tries.
The Mapam deputy, who called
for a special effort to prevent a
nuclear arms race in the Middle
East, praised the Cuban revolu-
tion, saying that its "sincere
humanism" had been indicated
among other things by the fact
that no Cuban Jews had suffered
from the revolution. He said
that Jewish and Zionist move-
ments in Cuba operated without
hindrance.
The Liberal Party deputies
generally supported Mrs. Meir's
statement, as did the national
religious party. Agudat Israel
deputies said Israel should have
abstained in 'the UN vote with
an explanation to the African
countries that . just as they
showed solidarity with one an-
other so must Israel show .sOli-
darity with South African Jewry.

scribing the massacre, said all
the children were shot but that
he did not know the exact
number. Reiff, now an attorney
in Aix La Chapelle, also testi-
fied he had lodged a complaint
with the Nazi Ministry for the
Occupied Eastern Territories
about the savage treatment of
Jews, Russians and others and
had at the time refused to re-
turn to his duties at Minsk.
The defense attorneys made a
joint request to the court after
Reiff's testimony that Wilhelm
Foge, public prosecutor at
Kaiserslautern, be called as a
defense witness. The unusual
request was based on the fact
that Foge had worked with Reiff
in the legal division of the Nazi
district office at Minsk.
A. Wedekind, a former crimi-
nal investigation department in-
spector, also testified on what
was meant by "tightened up
hearings" in the Minsk ghetto.
He said this referred to the most
gruesome beatings of Jewish
prisoners.
Michael Esofowicz, a Jewish
financier who lived in Fifteenth
Century Poland, served as head
of all Lithuanian Jewish com-
munities by appointment of
King Sigismund I. He was the
only Jew to have been made a
Polish nobleman.
