Srebnik said he was only 13 when he worked in chains at Chelmno hacking gold teeth from the mouths of Jews killed by the Nazis. LINKED BY INNUENDO His testimony was linked to the prosecution of Adolf Eich- mann as director of the Nazi extermination of 6,000,000 Jews only by innuendo. But Attorney-General Gideon Hausner, completing the state's case, said Eichmann was re- sponsible for the Jews being sent to such death camps and "therefore is responsible for what happened to them there." Three months before the lib- eration the Germans started to disband the camp and Srebnik was among the last 20 prisoners kept behind in January, 1945, to dismantle the camp huts, Then fhese survivors were taken out in groups of five and shot in the back of the neck.

The * presidential jet plane landed at Andrews air force base, Md. at 9:33 am. EDT after a flight of three hours and 13 minutes from Goose Bay, Members of Congress -- di- vided between hope and skepti- cism -- eagerly awaited Ken- nedy's report. Speaking on radio and televi- sion at 7 p.m. EDT, Kennedy planned to summarize his meet- ings with Soviet Premier Khru- shchev, President de Gaulle of France and British Prime Min- ister Macmillan. The expectation was that the president would deal largely in generalities in describing She u he seemed certain to reaffirm vigorously the West's determi- new Com t encr ts in Berlin and other world dan- ger spots. Kennedy, flying from London where he and Macmillan an- nounced they see eye-to-eye in President Will Speak Tonight cies, faced a busy day in his office before the speech. DEMOCRATS OPTIMISTIC Congressional Democrats gen- erally were optimistic that some improvement in East - West re- lations might grow out of the Kennedy - Khrushchev meeting in Vienna, even though no con- crete results had been antici- pated. Republicans were more skeptical. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said he believes the conversations were "well worth while" and may have contributed to lay- ing the groundwork for lower. level negotiations on East-West differences. "If some reasonable agree- ments can now be reached at the: ambassadorial level, the talks with Khrushchev may have enhanced, indirectly at least, the prospects for a real summit meeting in the future," Mansfield said. Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen of Illinois de- scribed the Khrushchev session as "a sparring match that solved nothing." Senator Bourke Hickenlooper (Rep. Iowa) said the conference may furnish Khrushchev "with a lot of grist pursuing common world poli for his propaganda mill." (A PWirephoto) JACKSON, Miss. (AP) Stiffer punishment was threat- ened today for "Freedom Rid- ers" planning attacks by land and air to test Mississippi's seg- regation laws. The first freedom "fly-in" to check on segregation at Jack- son Airport was expected to ar- rive from St. Louis, Mo., Wed- nesday. Plans were announced for stu- dents from a half-dozen cities to leave Louisville, Ky., early next week for freedom rides to several southern cities. The cit- ies were not identified but Jack- son has been the most, popular target. Thirteen more freedom riders were convicted in Jackson Mon- day, raising the total to 65 since the first wave arrived May 24. SUSPENDED SENTENCES None has been charged with violating segregation laws. in- stead they were fined $200 and Air Plane Riders' Head For South charges. The maximum penalty on that charge is a $200 fine and four months in jail City attorney Jack Travis said he would demand penalties for future freedom riders and added that other charges might be filed against them. The city court can assess a maximum fine of $500 and six months in jail, Most riders have elected to stay in jail to work out their fines at $3 a day. Some have started hunger strikes to empha- size their protests over segrega- tion. One of the 13 convicted Mon- day was Rev. Richard Gleason, a white 24-year-old Baptist min- ister from the Bible Witness Mission in. Chicago. The minis- ter announced he had broken connections with the freedom riders - because they included atheists, persons with police rec- ords and some who talked of communism. LONDON (Reuters) -- The echoes of Britain's tumultuous reception for President Kennedy died. away today and the Brit- ish press took a sober second look at the outcome of the presi- dent's weekend summit talks with Premier Khrushchev. Many expressed the view that no single positive achievement ad emerged from Kennedy's talks with Khrushchv. "President Kennedy's tour, however spectacular, has achieved few positive results," said the Daily Express. *'The general impression in London is that Mr. Kennedy's talks with Mr. Khrushchev have not so far resulted in one single positive gain on any point of substance," wrote the diplo- matic correspondent for The Daily Telegraph. "It (the summit) has not and could not have led to any de- cisions or -even to any obvious changes of mood," said The Guardian of Manchester. "What t has done is to enable Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Khrushchev to weigh one another up against a possible future meeting of a more substantial kind." Stacked up against the sober Poor Press View Of Summit Meet | however, was the big personal hit made by the president and his wife. Hundreds of thousands of Brit- ons turned out to see and cheer them in London. The president and Jacqueline were nearly mobbed by well-wishers outside Buckingham Palace Monday night when they went to have dinner with the Queen. The crowds broke through police cordons and surged around the president's car, shouting "We want Kennedy" and "We want Jackie." Cost Of Living Down In April OTTAWA (CP)--Lower prices for Some foods and housing items edged Canada's cost of living downward during April despite increases in transporta- tion and clothing, the bureau of statistics reported today. The consumer price index eased one-tenth of a point by May 1 to an even 129 compared with 120.1 in the two previous months and 128.2 a year earlier. The index of living costs is doubts about the summit talks, based on 1949 equalling 100. given 60-day pended sen- tences on breach of peace White Man Whipped By Negroes TRINITY, N.C. (AP)--A 20- year-old white cafe operator, who had been missing since a fight between white and Negro youths Monday night, walked into his home here today safc except for welts on his back and arms. Robert Parris said he had been involved in the fight, but finally fled from the group, hid- ing under a house some 200 yards away. He told authorities that while he was under the building he became unconscious and when he came to, dawn was breaking. The husky, 190-pound Parris said he was on the bottom of the pile in the fight and they couldn't hit him very well. "I didn't see anything but Ne- groes," he said. "I took off." He told police during the fight a bunch of Negroes got him on the ground and beat him with leather belts, making the welts on his arms and back. When he regained conscious- ness, he walked home. Parris had been missing since about a dozen white youths and some 40 Negroes fought in front of the cafe. An intensive search was conducted in the Trinity area for the youth through the night.
