French President Francois
Mitterrand, who had earlier
been accused of trying to
flinch from trials of alleged
Vichy war criminals, said he
was "glad that the courts
could do their job."
It was soothing news for
those who lived through this
dark period, added the Fren-
ch president.
Two other Frenchmen are
still liable to be tried for
crimes against humanity.

Israel Rebuts Charges
Of Rights Violations
Tel Aviv (JTA) — The Israeli
army has rejected, in a
detailed rebuttal, a recent
Amnesty International
report charging Israel with
serious violations of human
rights in the West Bank and
the Gaza Strip.
The Amnesty report
claimed that more than 100
Palestinians have been shot
dead by Israeli soldiers since
December, more than 30 of
them 16 years old or
younger.
Amnesty said it believes
"many of these killings are
absolutely unjustifiable, and
that some may amount to
extrajudicial killings."
But the Israel Defense
Force rebuttal points out
that since the beginning of
1993, 10 Israeli civilians, six
members of the security
forces and 60 Arabs have
been killed in the territories
by Arab terrorists and
gunmen.
The Palestinian militants
who carried out these at-
tacks were all armed and
dangerous fugitives wanted
by the security forces, the
IDF said.
Armed Palestinians also
killed six Israeli civilians
and four members of the
security forces within Israel
proper, the IDF said. .
The army also responded
to Amnesty allegations that
its soldiers unnecessarily
killed innocent bystanders
or shot wanted fugitives
when they could have been
apprehended instead.
"Members of the security
) forces have often found
themselves in life-
threatening situations, and
have been forced to open fire,
in accordance with the IDF's
rules of engagement," the
army said.
The IDF said there was no
basis whatsoever to
Amnesty's claim that IDF
soldiers opened fire in-
discriminately.
"To the IDF's deep regret,
L
during the course of dispers-
ing violent disturbances and
in clashes between security
forces and rioters, some chil
dren and minors have suf-
fered from measures taken
to deal with rioters," the
army statement added.
The army also responded
to charges that houses of in-
nocent local residents were
being destroyed as a form of
' collective punishment.
"The IDF categorically re-
jects Amnesty Interna-
tional's claim that one of the
objectives of the IDF, if not
its principal one, is to punish
those who have allowed
fugitives to take refuge in
their homes," the military
statement said.
The IDF denied Amnesty's
allegation that the army
then used explosives in order
to cause extensive damage to
these homes.
The army insisted actions
taken by the IDF in pursuit
of armed fugitives were bas-
ed solely on military con-
siderations and were recog-
nized and sanctioned by
international law.
"These actions are carried
out for the sole purpose of
apprehending fugitives.
Under no circumstances are
they designed to punish the
owners of the homes where
the terrorists have taken
refuge," the army said.
The IDF also noted that in
the event of damage to prop-
erty, residents may apply to
the Israeli Civil Administra-
tion for compensation.
The. IDF said it was in-
vestigating cases where
misconduct by soldiers may
have occurred.
"If the investigation
reveals that the personnel
responsible have acted con-
trary to regulations, the
military advocate general
takes appropriate legal ac-
tion against the individuals
concerned," the statement
said.

Chiropractic Health Hints
WITH DR. STANLEY LEVINE, D.C.
BRITISH RESEARCHERS SHOW
CHIROPRACTIC MORE EFFECTIVE
In this study made by the Medical Research Council, chiroprac-
tic treatment was shown to be more effective than hospital outpa-
tient management. The results were especially significant for patients
with chronic or severe back pain. This is one of the only studies that
demonstrates the effectiveness of chiropractic care on a long-term
basis. As the abstract states: "Conclusions — For patients with low
back pain in whom manipulation is not contradicted, chiropractic
almost certainly confers worthwhile, long-term benefit in comparison
with hospital outpatient management. The benefit is seen mainly in
DR. LEVINE
those with chronic or severe pain.
This particular study has made a very strong case for the inclusion
of chiropractic care in the National Health Service of Great Britain. This research illustrates
the cost effectiveness of the inclusion of chiropractic treatment in national health care as
well supporting the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment.
Another point of great interest is the statement that the effects of chiropractic treat-
ment seem to be long-term, as the study showed no return to pre-treatment pain levels
during the two years of follow-up.
