raud Inquiry
n Demjanjuk Case

Cincinnati (JTA) — A fed-
ral appeals court here has
aken the unusual step of
'pointing a special in-
estigator to determine
hether the Justice
"misled" the
ourt
ourt during hearings that
ed to the extradition in 1986
f John Demjanjuk to stand
al in Israel as "Ivan the
errible."
The court's order followed
fact-finding hearing in
ich government counsel
dmitted that "mistakes
ere made" when the
ice Department failed to
sclose evidence suggesting
hat a man identified as Ivan
archenko was in fact the
el Nazi guard referred to
y Jewish prisoners at the
eblinka death camp as
`Ivan the Terrible."
In its three-page order, the
ourt of Appeals for the 6th
ircuit rejected the Justice
partment contention that
he court does not have the
ower to review its decision.
The "bedrock question" for
he court, according to Chief
ustice Gilbert Merritt, is
ether failure by govern-
_ ent attorneys to disclose
xculpatory information
ituted fraud.
To make its determina-
ion, the court has appointed
omas Wiseman Jr., a fed-
ral district judge in
ashville, Tenn., as a spe-
ial master and instructed
m to prepare a report after
uestioning four govern-
ent lawyers who previous-
y worked on the Demjanjuk
se.
The four are Allan Ryan
r., a former director of the
ustice Department's Office
1' Special Investigations,
hich prosecuted the case;
orman Moscovitz and
eorge Parker, attorneys
ho worked at OSI; and
ohn Horrigan, a former
ssistant U.S. attorney for
e Northern District of
hio.
Patty Merkamp Stemler,
hief of the appellate section
f the Justice Department's
riminal division, argued in
last week's hearing that the
osecution is not required
o prove guilt or innocence
ut only to show probable
cause that the defendant
committed the offense.
She maintained that dur-
ing extradition proceedings
be department was not
obligated to disclose certain
documents — including ex-
cerpts from statements of
other prison guards it had

obtained from Soviet au-
thorities — because they did
not contain references to
"Ivan the Terrible,"
although they did mention a
"Marchenko."
She also said the federal
court does not have jurisdic-
tion to review its 1985 judg-
ment, since the case is now
in the hands of an Israeli
court. Mr. Demjanjuk, a 72-
year-old former Cleveland
area autoworker, claims
that he is innocent and that
this is a case of mistaken
identity. He is appealing the
decision of an Israeli lower
court which convicted him of
war crimes and sentenced
him to death as "Ivan the
Terrible" in 1988.
A response by Israel's
High Court of Justice is re-
ported to be imminent.

Reunification
Is Celebrated

New York (JTA) — Plans
have been unveiled for a
yearlong celebration of the
25th anniversary of the
reunification of Jerusalem
in the United States and
Israel.
The project, designed to
underscore Jerusalem's cen-
trality to Israel and the Jew-
ish people, is being organiz-
ed by the Coordinating
Committee for Jerusalem
25, under the aegis of the
Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations.
A series of celebratory
events will culminate in
Jerusalem on Yom
Yerushalayim next year,
May 19, 1993. This past Yom
Yerushalayim, on May 31,
1992, marked the 25th an-
niversary of the reunifica-
tion of Jerusalem during the
1967 Six-Day War.
Next year, thousands of
copies of a Covenant of
Jerusalem, bearing the
signatures of Jews all over
the world, will be presented
to the president of Israel.
