IN FRANKFORT, the biggest postwar trial of Nazis accused of mass murder of Jews, Involving 22 former offi¬ cials and a former Inmate who was a trusty in the Ausch¬ witz extermination camp, will open here today. The presen¬ tation of evidence against the defendants will probably not begin until February or early March, it was indicated by the chief prosecutor. Dr. Hans Grossman. The trial has been in preparation since 1959.
The 23 defendants were chosen from about 1,000 sus¬ pects on the basis of evidence supplied by 1,300 survivors of the murder camp. In which an estimated 4,000,000 men, women and children, mostly Jews, were put to death dur¬ ing the war.

Johnson has asked Myer Feldman, White House deputy special counsel to continue serving in the same capacity and also to advise him on Jewish and Israeli matters as Mr. Feldman did for. President John F. Kennedy. President Johnson made known that he would, follow the practice of President Kennedy In placing reliance on Mr. Feldman as his personal consultant on Jewish issues.
IN BOJVN, Israel's protests to the West German govern-,, ment against the work being done by German scientists In Egypt on the production of weapons of mass destruction, finally bore fruit here this week when Chancellor Ludwig Erhard ordered the Ministry of Interior to prevent such work by Gerfnan scientists in "troubled areas."
The complaints by Israel were voiced more than a year ago, when it was divulged that scientists and technicians from this country were playing a leading role in the making of nonconventional armaments in Egypt, intended for use against Israel.
IN TEL AVIV, Weizmann Institute officials announced this week the development of a magnetic device the size of a pencil point and encased In plastic which may yield signifi- carit advances in diagnosis, therapy and surgery in presently difficult areas of illness treatment.

British Reaction To Lord Mancroft Issue
LOIVIDON. (JTA) - The Arab League was soundly chastised this week by the British Government for anti-Israel boycott activities against British firms.
The rebuke developed from the public outcry against the forced resignation of Lord Mancroft, a leading Jewish businessman, from the London advisory board of the Norwich Union Insurance Societies, a major insurance firm, under Arab boycott pressure. Lord Man¬ croft is a business associate of Sir

Mr. Evans stated recently: "I think it is fitting that C!olumbus hold a Civil Rights Rally. A gath¬ ering like this will be worthwhile where people of good will meet in a friendly and purposeful way to dis¬ cuss the problems presented by the present civil rights situation in Columbus. Some cid'es have i-efused to face this problem and much bad feeling and violence have en¬ sued. My understanding of the pur¬ pose of the (Dolumbus meeting is to discover just what is being done in this area and to think in terms of the future.
I am especially pleased at the resolution of thp Columbus Cham¬ ber of Commeifce supporting this meeting as any example of good sense and forward thinking on the 'Rrt of the Chamber of Commerce of Columbus.
The problems we face in connec¬ tion with our civil rights problems are complex and cannot be solved merely by becoming excited and noisy. These problems can be faced by responsible citizens through the use of the mind and the heart."
Among the many civic, religious and cCmmunity organizations in Columbus, sponsoring the Civil Rights Rally are: B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation, Brandeis Univer¬
sity Women's Committee, (immun¬ ity Relations Committee of UJFC, Jewish War Veterans, Capitol Post No. 122, National Council of Jew¬ ish Women, Temple Tifereth Is¬ rael, Zionist Organization of Amer¬ ica and Zion Chapter of B'nai B'rith.
The Rally committee stated that the two objectives of the gather¬ ing are: one, to show that there is wide support for the principle of equality of opportunity; and, two, to serve as a means of help¬ ing the people of Columbus and surrounding communities to fact present issues of civil rights so as to bring about the orderly but rapid integration of Negroes into all aspects of life in this commun¬ ity.

The insurance company, stagger¬ ed by the wave of criticism, offer¬ ed Lord Mancroft back Ws board position but the Jewish peer po¬ litely declined. He was reported to have remarked to friends that he did not want to be in the public limelight for the next 20 years. He was also given about $55,000 in compensation by the firm which he planned to contribute to a charity.
The rebuffed Arabs were quick with counter-statements. The Arab League's economic council said in Cairo that any interference by the British govemmnet or any other country with its boycott activities would cause the Arab countries to reconsider their economic relations with such countries. The council condemned the British government for its public stand of disapproval of efforts by Arab embassies in London tn prevent British firms from trading with Israel. Support of "Zionist political endeavors" by any country, the Cairo statement added, would be considered sup¬ port ot "Israeli aggressive act¬ ions."      '
