Bi-lkil Admits Order To Kill Finsk Je^rs Frankfurt (JTA) — Colonel Ffanz Magill, a cavalry officer in Hitler's Elite Guard during the war, admitted in a court at Brunswick ' today that, in the summer of 1941, he had passed on mass murder orders from Heinrich Himmler, commander of the Nazi SS, resulting in the death of Jews in Pinsk, Byelorussia. Magill, now 63, is one of five former c a v a l r y officers who went on trial at Brunswick on charges of murdering a total of 5,200 Jews during the Nazi occupation of Pinsk. Admitting that lie had passed on the Hirnmler order, which called for the shooting of all male Jews and the driving of all Jewish women into the marshes, Magill, however, insisted he had i s s u e d such orders "only once." Magill was adjutant to Hans Walter Nenntwich, another SS cavalry officer, who is the principal defendant in the Brunswick trial. The three others involved in that proceeding are Walter B o n s h e u e r , 'Walter Dunsch and Kurt Wegener.

(Continued from Page 1) er Auschwitz-Birkenau administrators, guards and medical personnel was resumed today after a 10-duy recess. On the stand today was Prof. Hclmuth Krausnick, an anti-Nazi historian, of Munich, who outlined Hitler's plans for the annihilation of all of Europe's Jews. He said Hitler had estimated there were 11,000.000 Jews in Europe, and had aimed at their total liquidation through "a methodical program." He said the Nazis chose Auschwitz as a major death camp because of its good railway connections and the possibility of sealing off the entire area. The Frankfurth trial, which adjourned until T h u r s d a y, is scheduled to hear testimony that day from an Auschwitz survivor, Hermann Langbein, now living in Vienna and head of an international resistance organization with headquarters in Brussels. Pending his appearance on the witness stand, Mr. Langbein has issued a demand that the German Medical Association order the disqualification of 24 physicians in this country who, he charges, participated in the Hitler '•euthanasia" program. Under the program, about 200,000 persons, most of them Jews, and about 70,000 of them children, were administered "mercy d e a t h" injections by German doctors. Dr. Ernest-Frotnm, president of the German Medical Association, said today that he has ordered local and regional medical societies to probe the charges against the 21 d o c t o r s . Dr. Fromm said that some of them are dead, others have already been barred from medical practice, and a few have retired. However, he pledged that full investigations will made of the Langbein charges and declared: "I feel certain that the profession will be cleared following this investigation." Tbmorrow, at L i m b u r g , a third trial of ex-Nazis will be o p e n e d . This proceeding involved originally four doctors charged with heading the "euthanasia" program. However, of the four, Dr. Werner Heyde, the principal w o u 1 d-be defendant, hanged himself; a second died after plunging from a n i n t h s t o r y window in Cologne last week; and a third has fled the country. Nevertheless, the trial will go on, with only one of the s c h e d u l e d defendants in the dock.

Attack Would Wot Jrapsril Israel London UTA)—Shimon Peres, Israel's Deputy Defense Minister, declared here last night that "an Arab aattack would not endanger the existence of Israel but could e n d a i i g e r world peace." He spoke at a dinner of the Joint Palestine Appeal, at which IK)0,000 pounds sterling ($1,680,000) was raised. He declared that Jews, as Jews, were opposed to war because war was against everything for which Jews stood by their ethics in Israel and elsewhere. He denied assertions that Israel needed more space and might be tempted to expand at the expense of its Arab neighbors. He cited the high living standards of heavily populated Belgium and said that by those standards, there was room in Israel for some 9,000,000 people. He-said .it'all depended on what use a nation made of its territory. He insisted that the- supply of water was not an insoluble problem and that apart from pipeline distribution, desalination of sea water might be a final solution eventually and.there was plenty of water in the sea. The sacredness of human life to Jews and the preciousness of Jewish lives after the Hitler holocaust made Israel abhor war, he said. However, he added, as long as Israel's neighbors remained hostile, Israel had no choice but to maintain a high degree of preparedness, Our gratitude to all thosewho remembered 1 our son Dale. It was indeed, a heartwarming experience. Thank you. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Diamond

Anthony Greenwood, chairman of the Labor Party, told the dinner that he hoped "the lesson) of thi." Mancroft affair has been learned.
