The Central British Fund, of Doctor Defends War Role in Suit Against Leon Uris LONDON (JTA)—Dr. Wladislaw Dering, the Polish-born doctor who has filed a libel suit against Leon Uris, author of the novel "Exodus," and the latter's British publishers, testified in the hearing before the High Court here that he and his assistants in the hospital of the Auschwitz death camp saved many prisoner-patients from the gas chambers. Dr. Dering filed his suit because a portion of "Exodus" mentions a Dr. Dehring, as being concerned with experiments on inmates at Auschwitz. He claims that, though the book spelled the name dif- ferently, it meant him. Dr. Dering, who now practices medicine here, said he and his as- sistants at Auschwitz removed num- bers from the chests of the living, and substituted numbers from corpses. He testified that, when the Nazis found he and his staff could wash the numbers off, they introduced tattooing. He said there was an underground through which he had been able to get drugs to help prisoners, though discovery would have meant death for all involved. Uris and the publishers, Wil- liam Kimber and Co., have ad- mitted that a paragraph in the book referring to Auschwitz medical experiments was de- famatory to Dr. Dering. But they contend that it was true in substance, subject to certain qualifications. Dr. Dering said that as an inmate of Auschwitz he himself was mal- treated and subjected to all the indignities of other inmates. He also stated that his member- ship in the Polish underground was unknown to his German captors. He told the court he does not in any way feel that he had acted against his conscience, medical ethics or humanity in general. The printers of the book do not figure in the present action. They had reportedly settled with Dr. Dering by paying damages.
