Menten Trial Scheduled to Take One Year
AMSTERDAM (JTA)—
The trial of Nazi war crimi-
nal Pieter Menten is ex-
pected to last at least a
year.
Nearly 100 witnesses
from eight countries are
scheduled to testify, but
those from the Soviet Union
and Poland will not be avail-
able before October.
Menten, 77, a millionaire
Dutch art dealer, was for-
mally charged with having
killed or having ordered the
killings of more than 200
Polish citizens, mostly
Jews, in the Lemberg area
of Galicia in July and Au-
gust, 1941, when he alleg-
edly served as an SS offi-
cer. The charges, read by
Public Prosecutor Frans Ha-
bermahl, said the killings
took place on July 7 and Au-

Is this the
feature that
works best on
your present
copier?
Nothing is more frustrating when you're in a jam for
copies than to find your copier in a jam of its own. With
its "Call Key Operator" button pitifully flashing for
help, your temperamental office copier once again
becomes the office bottleneck.
At Savin, we've eliminated the need for a "panic
button" by eliminating a lot of the causes for panic. The
Savin 770 plain paper copier is the most reliable
machine on the market. It's practically jam proof. Half
of all jams are caused by long, twisting paper paths. In
some Xerox machines, for example, a copy twists and
turns over 4 feet. In the Savin 770 a copy moves a mere
12 inches from storage cassette to reproduction in the
simplest paper path possible. Obviously, the less
distance a copy has to travel, the better the chances are
that it will survive the trip.
So, before the call for help light goes on again, help
yourself by calling us for a demonstration of the Savi'n
770 plain paper copier.

nian villages of Padgorotsy
and Urich which were then
Polish territory.
The first prosecution wit-
nesses to take the stand
were Haviv Kanaan, an Is-
raeli journalist whose arti-
cles over the past year
were credited with having
exposed Menten's Nazi
past, and his cousin, Minna
Cygelsreich of Tel Aviv.
The court also heard
from Johan Van Den
Leeuw, of the Netherlands
State Institute for War
Documentation, who de-
scribed the ethnic composi-
tion in Galicia before and
after the outbreak of World
War II and the activities of
the various "Einsatztrup-
pen" and "Einstzcom-
mando" (special com-
mando troops) which oper-
ated in the Lemberg area
under the command of Ober-
fuehrer Erich Schoengarth.
Testimony was also taken
from two Dutch police offi-
cers who have been in
charge of the Menten case
since last summer.
Menten fled Holland on
Nov. 15, 1976, one day be-
fore police called at his lux-
ury villa at Blaricum with
an arrest warrant for ques-
tioning on his war-time ac-
tivities. He is believed to
U.S. Communist
Party Attacks
N.Y.Yiddish Daily
NEW YORK—The Com-
munist Party U.S.A, pub-
lished a 2,000-word attack
May 14 against the leftist
New York Yiddish daily,
Morning Freiheit, and its
editor, Paul Novick, as hav-
ing slid in the last decade
into "open service in the in-
terests of United States im-
perialism."
The attack followed sim-
ilar denunciations of Frei-
heit in the March issue of
the Moscow Yiddish month-
ly, Sovietish Heimland,
whose editor, Aaron Ver-
gelis, accused the Freiheit
of having "a petty-
bourgeois and middle-class
base."
Novick, 85, was a co-
founder of Freiheit in 1922.
He was a member of the
Communist Party until ex-
pelled in 1972 after charges
alleging "opportunistic capi-
tulation to the pressures of
Jewish nationalism and Zi-
onism."
Novick denounced the at-
tack and asserted, "We are
for socialism. We are for
the Soviet Union the way it
was during the Lenin period
when Jewish culture flou-
rished."
He added, Freiheit had
called for restoring rights
for Jews in the Soviet
Union instead of "forced as-
similation," and "we are
not going to keep silent
about anti-Semitic articles."
Freiheit has called for Is-
rael's right to exist but also
for a Palestinian Arab
state. •
Freiheit has reported that
current campaign seeking
contributions to sustain
the paper has been bol-
stered by the Sovietish
Heimland attack.

have been tipped off that
his arrest was imminent
He was apprehended by
Swiss police near Zurich on
Dec. 6 and returned to The
Netherlands on condition
that he would not be extra-
dited to a third country for
trial. A preliminary hearing
was held here April 3. If
found guilty, Menten would
face a maximum sentence
of life imprisonment.
