Joxe, Interior Minister Roger

made their statements at a meet-

The report, which was published

BONN (JTA) — The trial in
Frankfurt of 22 former guards of
the Auschwitz camp was ad-
journed here until the end of
March or the beginning of April,
after witnesses completed testi-
mony.
The trial, largest involving Nazi
war criminals in recent years,
started in December 1963. Prose-
cution and defense will make their
final statements when the trial
resumes.
In another trial, members of a
war crimes court in Dusseldorf
left Monday for the United States
to take testimony from two bed-
ridden survivors of the Treblinka
death camp. The 12-member court
is trying 11 former SS officers on
charges of murders in the camp
in occupied Poland. The witnesses
are Charles Unger of Seattle and
Charles Burk of Atlanta.

French Foreign Minister Maurice
Couve de Murville will be a guest
of honor Wednesday at a dinner
given by Israeli Ambassador Walter
Eytan, one of a series of dinners
at which French ministers and key
French personalities have been the
ambassador's guests.
The Israel ambassador conferred
for nearly an hour with Vice-
Premier Joxe. The main subjects
reportedly raised were the West
German-Egyptian diplomatic crisis
and problems arising from Arab
plans to divert the headwaters of
the Jordan River to deny the
waters to Israel.

L'Aurore itself, meanwhile, re-

The newspaper asserted that

"This policy will perhaps be un-

are concerned but surely will be

that of 14 women charged with
killing thousands of persons in the
Nazi euthanasia program, Tuesday
demanded sentences of from one

He asked release of the six other
defendants for lack of evidence.
Some 4,000,000 victims, mostly
Jews, were killed in the Auschwitz
camp, largest of the Nazi death
factories. An estimated 300,000 vic-
tims were murdered at Treblinka.
