chief from 1942-1944..:
The charges read -fo Bar-
bie in his prison cell by
Judge Christian Riss, in-
clude the arrest of 52 Jewish
children in a home in Izieu
and the execution of 42 hos-
tages, 40 of them Jews, in
1944. Barbie was informed
that the charges fall within
the category of "crimes
against humanity" which
are not protected by a sta-
tute of limitations.
The 69-year-old former
SS officer, once known as
the "butcher of Lyon" will
not be charged with the
murder of French resistance
leader Jean Moulin. That
constitutes a "war crime"
which cannot be prosecuted
after a time lapse of 20
years.
Barbie, who found
haven in Bolivia shortly
after World War II, was
expelled from that coun-
try earlier last month and
turned over to French
authorities who brought
him to-Lyon to stand trial.
His court-appointed
lawyer, Etienne de la Ser-
vette, who was present
when the charges were
read, said Barbie seemed
"surprised" by the accusa-
tion that he ordered the ar-
rest and deportation of 52
Jewish children. But the
prisoner was acquainted
with the seven other
charges, his attorney said.
The Dutch government,
meanwhile, has announced
that it is sending legal
material to Lyon related to

Barbie's activities as head
of the gestapo's Jewish Desk
in The Hague before he was
transferred to France. He is
charged by the Dutch
authorities with the depor-
tation of 400 Jews from
Amsterdam to their deaths
in Nazi concentration
camps.
In Toronto, Michel Cojot,
a former executive in one of
France's most prestigious
banking establishments,
has revealed that in 1975 he
had the opportunity to kill
Klaus Barbie during a
meeting in La Paz, Bolivia.
Cojot, born Goldberg,
says in his book,
war criminal had visited
several American cities.
According to the New
York Times, Robert G. Wil-
son, who described himself
as a former jewel thief and
safecracker, said that when
he went to steal gems in
Bolivia in 1971, he became
"an intimate" of Bolivian of-
ficials and Barbie.
Wilson said Barbie told
of trips he made to the
U.S. in connection with a
Bolivian shipping con-
cern.
In Bonn, meanwhile,
German newspapers re-
ported that Chancellor
Helmut Kohl and his chal-
lenger in next week's elec-
tion, Hans-Jochen Vogel,
had both belonged to the
Hitler Youth.
"Namesake," recently
published by Yale, that
he resolved to track
down Barbie because
during his days as the
gestapo chief, Barbie had
been responsible for the
death of Goldberg's fa-
ther and many other
French resistance fight-
ers.
In 1975, disguised as a
French journalist, Goldberg
arrived in La Paz and pro-
ceded to interview Barbie.
In a related development,
a Canadian convict who
said he became a confidant
and biographer of Barbie
reported that the accused
Israeli Arab 'Extremists'
Accused of Causing Discord
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Premier Menahem Begin's
adviser on Arab affairs ac-
cused "extremist elements"
among Israel's Arab popu-
lation of using a controversy
over Arab lands in Galilee
to foment discord.
The adviser, Binyamin
Gur-Arye, spoke in re-
sponse to a protest demon-
stration in the Arab town of
Shfaram Saturday. The
Arabs asked the Interior
Ministry to rescind the
transfer of some 40,000
acres of Arab-owned land to
the jurisdiction of Misgav, a
new regional council.
In an Army Radio inter-
view, Gur-Arye claimed
that the measure was taken
for planning purposes and
did not involve a change of
ownership. "There is no in-
tention to confiscate any
land," he said.
He promised the krab
villages in Galilee suffi-
cient land to develop for
the next 25 years and
suggested that those who
felt they were wronged
should take their case to
the appeals committee of
the Interior Ministry.
"We know that there are
certain political elements

pretext to heat up the at-
mosphere by artificial
means," Gur-Arye charged.
"They are trying to or-
ganize a day of protests
against the state rather
than any specific issue," he
said. He also referred to the
strong Communist repre-
sentation at the rally in
Shfaram.
