BRIEF SUMS UP Evidence against the Res, father and son, was summed up in a 98 - page brief filed with the five members of the SEC.| The Res, exchange specialists) who conducted the daily aue-| tions in about 20 stocks, were accused of illegally peddling nearly $10,000,000 in stocks, gen- erally at high prices in rigged markets. The investigators noted that the alleged chicanery was un- covered following 30 years in which "the confidence of the public in the operation of the exchange markets has been slowly rebuilt" following the scandals of the early depression days. In a brief of their own, the Res conceded that punishment is warranted on the facts of the case. However, they contended that Gerard Re's violations were unwitting and asked that he be dealth with lightly. A number of unsuspecting celebrities were indirectly in- Peace No Pipedream Douglas Tells Union manager of Minnesota Twins; Toots Shor, Manhattan restaur- ateur; Vincent F. Albano Jr., a Republican leader on New York's east side, and Abraham Gellinoff, chairman of the law committee of New York's Tam" many Hall, the Manhattan De- mocratic Orgnization. The SEC brief said these peo- ple and others were persuaded by the Res to open brokerage accounts through which they in- vested in stocks favored, for one reason or another, by the Res. According to the brief, the Res had illegal authority to buy or sell for these accounts at their own discretion. Eichmann Trial Pace Irks Judges JERUSALEM (AP) Is- rael"s evidence against Adolf Eichmann is so massive that in- dications today point to July or later as the earliest possible date for the end of the hear- ings.

Canada and New Zealand in the past have voiced apprehen- sion lest closer British eco- nomic links with the Western uropean continent would be at the expense of their traditional trade with Britain.

There have been reports that Truce Effort By Emissary Surrender ALGIERS (Reuters)--French authorities today announced the surrender of all officers of two paratroop regiments and three parachutist commando units who were involved in the abor- tive Algerian revolt. The announcement was made by Algerian Affairs Minister Louis Joxe and Armed Forces Minister Pierre Messmer as Joxe opened an on-the-spot in- vestigation of rebel activities in Algiers. Joxe said the units already are being dissolved under the disbandment order announced Friday by government spokes- man Jacques Coup de Frejac. The order also applies to the 1st Paratroop Regiment of the French Foreign Legion which led the revolt against President Charles de Gaulle in Algiers a week ago. Altogether about 4,000 to 5,000 men are affected. START PROBE Meanwhile, Joxe, working with Delegate - General Jean Morin and Chief of Staff Gen.

The warning was issued as the conference went into a four- day recess during which chief American delegate Arthur Dean will go to Washington to discuss the conference future with Pres- ident Kennedy. Dean said after the meeting he believed Russia still wanted to negotiate a treaty despite So- viet refusal to consider fresh Western proposals and a Rus- sian demand for a three - man executive to administer a nu- iclear test ban treaty.

Kennedy Security WASHINGTON (AP) -- Presi- dent Kennedy summoned the National Security Council into extraordinary Saturday session today amid a deepening anxiety here over Soviet-backed rebel military successes in Laos. There was speculation the ad- ministration might be close to a decision for allied military in- tervention' on the side of the pro - Western Laotian govern- ment, but officials declined to indicate what if any new steps the president might order. Kennedy flew back to Wash- ington early today following a speech in Chicago Friday night, where he said: "We are the chief defender of freedom in a time of maxi- mum danger.
