Techniques in Killing
Jews Described in
War Crimes Trial
COBLENZ, (JTA)—A former
Nazi storm trooper testified in
the trial of 12 ex-Nazis charged
with the wartime mass murder
of 35,000 Jews in the Minsk
Ghetto that "the cries of the
victims are still in my ears."
Johann Hassler of Wassen-
burg, describing the Nazi mul-
tiple killing techniques, told the
court that "ten minutes after
the Jews were pushed into
the poison gas vans they were
dead." He said he knew they
were dead because their faces
bad turned blue and red. He
added that in the really exten-
sive slaughter operations, Jews
were shot in ditches, instead of
being gassed, because "the
shooting was quicker than gass-
ing."
Another witness, Karl Gebl,
64, of Kleinfeld, who drove one
01 the gas vans, broke into tears
as he testified that when the
gas -supply failed, the Jews were
removed from the vans in the
woods and shot in masses.
Konrad Kosnopfi testified
about the inhuman conditions in
the Minsk security service pri-
son. He recalled reports of exe-
cution of a Jewish woman in
the courtyard of the prison by
George Heuser, the principal
defendant in the trial.

NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
"gradually emerging mood" of
unity in the American Jewish
community has enabled it to ac-
cept the differences in its reli-
gious life and join in coopera-
tive efforts for the good of all,
Rabbi Solomon B. Frehof, pres-
ident of the world Union for
Progressive Judaism declared at
the annual synagogue statesman
awards dinner of the Synagogue
Council of America.
Rabbi Freehof asserted that
".We are becoming aware that
Judaism needs each of us; that
Orthodoxy, Conservatism and
Reform , each is uniquely fitted
to carry out one or another of
the supreme values of Judaism
in modern times which no single
one of them can perform alone."
Recipients of the 1962 Syna-
gogue Statesman Awards were
Admiral Lewis L. Strauss of
Washington, D.C.; Herbert Ten-
zer of Lawrence, L.I.; and Joseph
S. Wohl of Cedarhurst, L.I. The
awards — bronze plaques — are
presented each year to out-
standing Orthodox, Conservative
and Reform Jewish leaders who
have distinguished themselves in
advancing the ideals of Judaism
and strengthening its institu-
tions.
Rabbi Julius Mark, SCA pres-
ident, made a strong plea for
understanding not only among
men, but among nations as well.
Rabbi Philip Hiat, executive
vice-president of the SCA,
stressed the primacy of the syna-
gogue in Jewish life.
Heat Wave Endangers
Israel Water Supply
TEL AVIV, (JTA) — An un-
seasonal heat wave has struck
Israel, water consumption
throughout the country has in-
creased while water reserves
have been lowered, and authori-
ties are concerned, although offi-
cial meteorologists refuse to
identify the situation as a
drought.
Temperatures here have risen
to as high as 84 degrees, and 87
has been registered at nearby
Lydda Airport. Throughout the
country, settlements and irriga-
tion projects have had to em-
ploy heavy-pressure pumps to
supply enough water.
The mayor here has ordered
that old wells be put into use—
contrary to the orders of the
Water Commissioner, who has
decreed that water here be
taken only from the Yarkon
River feeder lines. "I know we
may be fined for this," said the
mayor, "but I'd rather pay a
fine than let our citizens suffer
thirst."
