Suggestions have been made that the United States urge Is¬ rael to eirtradlte Eichmann to West Germany for trial or to re¬ lease him to some International tribunal.

He stated that the UJFC represents a community Pay Your UJFC Pledge Today activity which Includes the widest spread of Interest and viewpoints. THE CAMPAIGN represents multiplicity of interests by a large number of people and organiza¬ tions. Every Jewish person has a stake In the outcome ot the cam¬ paign directly or Indirectly. It is through a federated drive such as this, which helps to bring to¬ gether the many diversified in¬ terests In the community to achieve together maximum re¬ sults for all these causes. "When we have a good cam¬ paign," he said, "we build a good Jewish life for ourselves and our people wherever tihey may be. The success of the UJFC cam¬ paign was due In a large measure to organization in depth and breadth along with an under¬ standing of the needs. The cam¬ paign was not aided by the usual national newspaper headlines and emotional overtones of the refu¬ gee needs of prior years." He also pointed out that year- round planning wais evident. "Suc¬ cess of the campaign," he said, "Is measured by the degree and numbers of participation in the project. In tills respect, more Uian 1000 persona worked to obtain over 4000 contributors." RAUPH ROSENFELD, chair¬ man of the Advance Gifts, thank¬ ed those who did so much to raise the tremendous sums In the Ad¬ vance Gifts Division. He paid tribute to his leaders and worlisrs. Mrs. Zacks reported on the many campaign facets of the women. She gave a great deal of credit for the fine results to good organization, education, leadership and dedicated workers.

The trial will be heid in Jerusalem. Elclunann, seized by Israel agents In one of the true cloak-and- dagger operations of the postwar era, was closely guarded in a wlndowless cell. Extra precautions were being taken to make sure he did rtot cheat a long-awaited justice by lulling himself. FORMAL WORK on prepara¬ tion of the indictment was started by the special Investigating group named for that task. Members visited the Yad Vashem, the cen¬ tral agency for documentation of the extermination of European Jewry, to collect basic Informa¬ tion. More material has been sent to the group by the Haifa Docu¬ mentation CJenter, which is head¬ ed by Tuviah Friedman, who de¬ voted many years to the task of tracing Eichmann. The Israel Government Press Office published an official ac¬ count of the statements made by Elclunann on his activities be¬ tween the collapse of tlie Nazi regime In 1945 and his capture by Israel Intelligence Agents in re¬ cent weelta. Bllchraarm, the report said, expressed his readiness to colialKjrate with his Captors to clarify, from the historical view¬ point, those events of World War n In wUch he played a part. Eichmann told Ws Interrogators that he was twice a prisoner of the United States Army after World War H, and made good ills escape on both occasions. When Israeli Views Are Stated In Survey Dr. Judah PUoh DR. J. PILOH WILL REPORT ON HEOREW SCHOOL STUDY SOON Dr. Judah Pilch, surveyor of the Columbus Hebrew School, has completed the study of the (3o- lumlms Hebrew School, and will report on it Monday, June 6, 8:30 p.m., at the Jewish Center. Louis M. Levin and BVed Yen¬ kin, co-chairmen of the survey committee, were informed by Dr. Pilch, that be lias completed the survey, and he was accordingly Invited to report on the study In person. PR. PILCH began the study in the middle of NovemlJer, when he appeared before the entire survey committee. He also visited C!o- iumibus the latter part of Jani3tey.

In the process of making the survey, five sub-oommltees were (Contlnutd on paga 4) TEL AVIV (WUP)—The Israeli weekly pictorial news magazine Ha'OIam Hazeh, this week pub¬ lished a cross-section of Israeli opinions as to what punishment should be meted out to the Nazi murderer Eichmann captured by the Israel intelligence service and currently awaiting trial here. Some of these opinions—based upon a survey In which Israelis were asked: "What would you do with Blciimarm?"—follow: Mordecal Blron, 50, bom in Llthufliniai, an actor: It would be a pity for the time being to put him to death. Death would be an easy exit for him. I would like to give some satisfaction to those who suffered and to the Jewish people as a whole by prolonging his punishment before meting out the death penalty. It is difficult to say what would be a fitting punishment for him . . . FIshel Rosenblum, 56, bora In Poland: I would put him In a cage and present him to people like in a circus where wild ani¬ mals are shown. After a period of five years, I would take him and out him up In small pieces. I vvouid be willing to do this impor¬ tant act myself. Joseph lyon, 49, bom in Russia, gardener: One must not contam¬ inate the Holy Lemd with the corpse of this beast. I shuddered when I heard that he liad been brought here. I would i>e willing to kill him, but not here In Israel. In any other place but here, yes. Where shall they bury this un¬ clean thing? In Israel? In Jeru¬ salem? the city of the prophets? Let them bury him in Auschwitz; bl Trcfbllnka or Maidanek. Not here. EUyabu Gllckman, 49, bom In Russia: I am for life Imprison¬ ment; not the death penalty. He should be confined In solitary cells and given each day and each night to read the full accounts of the be£istly deeds of which he was responsible. This will be a greater punishment to him than death. What is death to him? He de¬ serves everlasting torment. Ruth Wittenberg, 22, Sabra. stu¬ dent: Only a sentence of death. If possible, also with some punish¬ ment But a legal death. It is a pity that the law cannot mete out the death penalty With some pun¬ ishment In advance. Let him hang . . . Shoshanah Meir, bom tn Pol¬ and, housewife: The death penalty Is not enough. He should be cut up Into pieces. He should be put under all sorts of punishments and tortures before the hanging. I myself would be willing to help meting out the punishment . . . Zeidel Cohen, 43, bom In Poland: He should be placed before a mass of Jews, all of whom should spit on him until he drown In a sea of saliva so that tbe whole world may hear and fear. Afterwards he should be cut Into pieces and thrown to the dogs. This Is due a murderer ot which history has no parallel. he was first captured by tl^e Americans, he managed to con¬ ceal his true identity by disguis¬ ing himself as a private in the (Jerman Luftwaffe, he revealed. Later, when he was transferred to another prisoners' camp, he posed as a lieutenant in the Waffen SS. EICHMANN, then a colonel In the Elite Guard, was captured by the Americans about May 8, 1946. Just before his capture, he said, he managed to get rid of his SS uniform and personal documents and dressed himself in the iml- form of a Luftwaffe private. He gave his American captors a false name and said he had destroyed his documents in keeping with Instructions from the German Army. For some reason, the tattoo mark on Us left hand, Indicating his blood group, was not noticed. Eichmann assumed the role of a private, although he knew that officers received better treatment as prisoners because he thought less Interest would be paid to a private than to an officer. When he was being transferred to another American prison camp, Eichmann disclosed, he again changed his Identity, this time as¬ suming the rank of a Waffen SS lieutenant since that rank would explain the SS tattoo on his hand. ISRAEL authorities continued to maintain the strictest secrecy as to where Eiclimann had been captured. However, they disclosed that the Israeli security forces had not Ireen aided by the Intelil- gence forces of any other country In locating the fugitive. In the face of the government's tight-llpped silence on the place and circumstances of Eichmann's capture, considerable circulation was given to reports that the Nazi liad been found In Latin America. British newspapers said Eloh¬ mann had been living in Argen¬ tina. Eichmann pleaded not guilty in (Contlnutd on paga 4) Israel Bond Dinner To Feature Golden On a quiet street in CSiarlotte, N.C, stands a sizeable Vlotorlj^ house which Is the fountainhead of "The CaroUna Israelite," and the stronghold of Its famous writer, editor and publisher, Harry Golden, who wIU appear here on Tuesday, June 28 at a kosher dinner at tho Deshler HUton Hotel, on behalf of the Columbus larael Honda Committee.
