FRANKFURT (JTA)—Dr. Ger-
hard Bohne, a Nazi physician ac-

Buenos Aires in the custody of two
West German policemen.
Dr. Bohne, who disappeared in
1963 after he was charged with
the killings and fled to South

criminal ever to be extradited by

Vienna Jury Sentences
2 Nazis to Prison for
Mass Killing of Jews
VIENNA (JTA) — A Vienna
jury court sentenced two broth-
ers, Johann and Wilhelm Mauer,
former SS officers, to prison
terms at their second trial of
charges of mass murders of Jews
in occupied Poland.
Johann Mauer received an eight-
year term. His brother was given
a 12-year term.
,The Polish-born brothers, who
voluntarily joined Hitler's SS
Elite Guard, were charged original-
ly with participation in the
"Bloody Sunday" massacre of Oct.
12, 1941, when about 20,000 Polish
Jews were driven from the Stani-
slaw Ghetto to the cemetery and
12,000 were killed on the spot.
A Salzburg jury acquitted the
two Nazis last February on
grounds they had acted under
"compulsory orders" but the Saliz-
burg Senate immediately suspend-
ed that verdict and the Austrian
High Court ordered a new trial.
Many witnesses, many of them Is-
raelis testified at the second trial
that the brothers had personally
shot Jewish men, women and chil-
dren.

Selection Doctor Arrives
in Bonn From Ghana
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
BONN — Horst Schumann, 60,
one of the "selection doctors" at
the Auschwitz death camp, arrived
in Brunswick by plane Wednesday
on an extradition order granted by
Ghana courts at the request of the
West German government to face
war crimes charges. No date has
been set for the trial.
Schumann was charged specific-
ally with mass murder at Ausch-
witz and at the Graftenock concen-
tration camp during the war. He
fled to Ghana 15 years ago, and
last year a Ghana lower court ap-
proved the extradition request.
Schumann lost an appeal last
month. He had defended himself
with the contention that he had
only obeyed the orders of his
superior officers and that his war-
time activities were "political" in
nature.
He was escorted by two West
German officials from Ghana to
West Germany.
ROME (JTA) — The fifth con-
gress of the European Common
Market Free Trade Unions ap-
proved a resolution asking that
Israel's re quest for associate
status with Euromart be "quickly
and satisfactorily resolved."
The degree of support for Israel
was beyond expectations. It had
been expected that the congress
would limit itself to endorsing the
position of the executive of the free
trade unions giving general sup-
port to Israel's request for better
treatment than it has received in
its present l i m i t e d agreement
which expires next June 30. Israel
has applied for both a more com-
prehensive agreement and for as-
sociate status.
The action was taken in the
presence of Prof. Walter Hall-
stein, president of the commission
of the European Economic Com-
munity, who attended as a guest
of honor. The delegates repre-
sented 12,000,000 of the 15,000,000
workers in the six nations of Euro-
mart.
Prior to the adoption of the
resolution, the delegates were
addressed by Aharon Becker,
secretary-general of the Hista-
drut, Israel's federation of labor.
He assured the trade union lead-
ers that Israeli products ex-
ported to Euromart countries
would never compete unfairly
with those made by European
workers.
Becker said that in view of the
frequently expressed support by
Common Market trade unions for
Israel's association with Euro-
mart, he did not feel there was
any need to further persuade the
delegates.
He described Israel's current
unemployment problems and said
that in addition to short-range
plans to shift workers from de-
pressed sectors of the Israeli econ-
omy, the long-range plans to shift
workers from depressed sectors of
the Israeli economy, the long-range
problem remained that of provid-
ing stable employment. This, he
said, could be done only by ex-
ports linking "our economic ef-
forts with the world's markets: 1
Ludwig Rosenberg of Germany,
president of the assembly's execu-
titve committee, accepted an invi-
tation from Becker to come to Is-
rael to study Israel's economy.
Rosenberg, in his report to the
assembly, said that the present
Israeli-EEC agreement did not
take into account several of Is-
rael's key export products. He said
"on our side, as trade unionists,
we will continue to give our sup-
port to Israel's application for as-
sociation."
