The restriction was lifted however for laat Sunday's rally. When the police had, on pre¬ vious weeks, temporarily withheld loudspeaker permission, the ral¬ lies were smaller and more order¬ ly because he did not attract crowds from blocks around. A number of tourist attractions are within range of the loudspeaker hi-fi system which Rockwell transports to the rallies on a trailer truck.
SIX MEN were arrested during the weekend in Nazi disturbances here. Included were two Jews who voiced disagreement with nazlsm at the rally. Arthur Meyerhoff, a Hyattsville, Md. engineer, was ar¬ rested for shouting at Rockwell. But Rockwell, who taunted and baited Jews, was not arrested, police said, because they had orders to preserve his "free speech."

PLEDGES TO ISRAEL GALLED 'NOT WORTH PAPER WRITTEN ON'
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Three Democratic members took the Senate floor to condemn the Elsenhower Administration poli¬ cies on Israel and the Middle East and to charge that there waa a wide gap between the Administra¬ tion's policy declarations and its practice.
SENATOR Ernest Gruening of Alaska told the Senate that the Administration's pledges to Israel "are not worth the paper on which thoy are written." He charged that the Administration's ap¬ peasement of the United Arab Republic's blockade and boycott tactics revealed "a discrepancy between words and deeds." This "disparity," he said, was seen in a recent statement on Near Eastern issues by Vice President Nixon contained in a letter to B'nai B'rith.'
Senator G r u e n i n g said the "Eisenhower - Nixon Administra¬ tion" was aware of transgressions by Nasser against Israel includ¬ ing Suez Canal restrictions but nevertheless loaned the UAR $50,- 000,000 for canal improvements
Senator Stuart Symington, Mis¬ souri Democrat, deplored the "am¬ biguous policy" of "the present administration toward freedom of the seas." He said that while the Administration avowedly supports [Continued   on   peqe   4)

Adolf Eichmann Case Becomes Legally Entangled
UNITE DNATIONS, N.Y. (JTA) —A number of delegations here, including leading representatives of the Western Powers, continued to exert pressures against having the United Nations Security Coun¬ cil debate the Argentine com¬ plaint against Israel in connec¬ tion with the capture of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi leader wh<» directed the killing of ,8,000,000 Jews.
The Seturity Council meeting on this issue was scheduled to take place last Wednesday. How¬ ever, hopes were expressed here that, prior to Wednesday, some eoraprom.lse might be reached be¬ tween Israel and Argentina, per. haps through a meeting between Israel's Prime Minister David Ben-Gurlon and Argentine Presi¬ dent Frondizi, both of whom are now In Europe.
THE ISEAEL delegation here continued to maintain close con¬ tact with members of the Secur ity Council on the issue. Over the weekend, Israel's Foreign Minister Golda Meir interrupted a previously scheduled lecture tour of the United States to come
here for a conference on the Ar¬ gentine grievance with Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. Is¬ rael's permanent representative, Michael S. Comay, also discussed the Issaie with the Secretary Gen¬ eral as well as with Dr. Tlngfu F. Tslang, of China, president of the Security Council, and all other memibera of the Council, Including Arkady A, Sobolev, of the Soviet Union.
(Moscow dispatches Indicated tliat the Soviet delegation at the UN may take a double stand on the Argentine grievance when it comes to the Security Counoil. On the one hand, Rusisia may support Argentina on its insistence that the anti-Israel grievance should l>e inscribed on the Council's agenda, thus making possible full debate on the isBUe. On the other hand, Russia might side at the (Council with Israel on its method of caipturing Eichmann, t>otnting out that the arch-criminal was able to hide In the Western world for IS years.)
THE CONSENSUS of many ex¬ perienced observers here was that, If  the  Argentine  Issue  does   re¬
ceive public airing before the Security Council, that body might adopt a resolution only "recom¬ mending" that Israel return Eich¬ mann to Argentina, as the Buenos Aires Government insists. Such a recommendation, however, would not be legally binding upon Israel. In Jerusalem, a "declaratory" resolution was filed in the Knes¬ set (Parliament) by the right- wing, nationalist Herut Party, as¬ serting that Adolf Bichminn, Nazi "specialist" in the extermina¬ tion of 8,000,000 Jews, must be tried in Israel.
ALTHOUGH THE Herut Party is in the opposition, and not a member of the Israeli coalition government, it is expected that the motion will be adopted by the Knesset this week. In presenting its motion, Herut called for unanimous approval by Parlia¬ ment "as a demonstration of the nation's solidarity on tjiis issue."
In Tel Aviv, Adolf Eichmann, Nazi SS colonel and Hitler's apcciallst in the extermination of 6,000,000 European Jews, was re¬ manded for a third time after a brief   hearing   before  Magistrate
Alfred Bach, of Haifa. The deten¬ tion, for 15 days, Is the third for the Nazi killer—the utmost per¬ mitted under Israeli law.
THIS APPLICATION for fur¬ ther detention, to permit further Interrogation, was made by Police Commander Ephralm Hofstatter, deputy head of the Police Depart¬ ment's Sixth Bureau. He was act¬ ing on behalf of Minister Of Jus¬ tice Plnhas Rosen who is also acting Attorney General. Under Israeli law, only the attorney gen¬ eral or his representative is en¬ titled to an order for a third de¬ tention.
No preliminary hearing has as yet been held for Eichmann. Such a hearing can be conducted only after a charge sheet had been dravm up. The formal charge sheet will be presented after the
current detention period is over.
INTEBBOGATION of Eich¬ mann continued, meanwhile, by officers of the Sixth Bureau of the Israel police. Study also was continued in the documents and material which continue to pour In. One of the more unusual docu¬ ments received recently was a letter from a Russian Jew, listing the names of several Jews In Russia who had survived Nazi death camps and could give evi¬ dence In the case.
Israeli authorities made public the latest letter, received here from President Arturo Frondizi of Argentina to Prime Minister David Ben-Gurlon, dealing with the Eichmann case. In his note, Frondizi agreed with Israel's stand about the need for bringing (Conllntiad  on   paga   4)
