WORLD NEWS BRIEFS By United Press International No Atonement For Eichmann JERUSALEM Chief Israeli prosecutor Gideon Hausner told an impassive Adolf Eichmann Wednesday there can be no atonement, no forgiveness and no forgetting the man who tried to exterminate the Jewish people. Hausner, in a nine-hour speech, rejected a plea by Eich mann's German lawyer Robert Servatius that Israel has no right to try the one-time SS colonel because the court is biased and its operations illegal. The trial is both moral and legal, Hausner said, adding that if Israel did not try Eichmann the greatest mass murderer in history might go scot free. "I request that this court decide its authority to sit in judgment for these crimes," he said. Eichmann peered owlishly through his heavy horn-rimmed glasses from the bullet-proof glass prisoner's dock as Hausner unleashed his legal arguments designed to prove the Israeli court's right to hear the case against a man accused of mur dering six million Jews. The court does not sit Thursday. Thursday is the day when Israel commemorates the slaughter of those six million Jews by the Nazis. It is "Holocaust Day," inaugurated by a two minute silence at 8 a.m. Welch Denounced In Senate WASHINGTON Robert Welch, head of the controversial John Birch Society, was denounced on the Senate floor Wed nesday fo rsuggesting the Protestant clergy has been infil trated by Communists. Sen. Hale McGee, D-Wyo., told the Senate that Welch's latest charge was a "slurring" attack which was both "ridicu lous" and an. aid to Communist propaganda. McGee termed members of the conservative society "twisted, distorted, sick people" who he said are "afraid of new ideas, afraid of free dom." ".

Yrui Gagarin, 27-year-old father of two children; had orbited the c earth in a five-ton space ship on a flight that took an hour and 48 minutes. In that brief span, hardly more than the time of a train trip from New York to Philadelphia, man broke the barrier to space travel and raced closer to the eventual goal of flights to other planets. ' - A noted1 British scientist called the flight the "greatest scientific achievement in the history of man." Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev messaged Gagarin: "The entire world admires your deed, which will be remembered down the centuries as an ex ample of courage, gallantry, and heroism " in the name of service to mankind.": i ; - President Kennedy in Wash ington said: "The achievement by the U.S.S.R. in orbiting a man and returning him safely to the ground is an outstanding technical accomplishment. We congratulate the Soviet scien tists and engineers-who made this feat possible." A leading Soviet scientist likened the space feat to the accomplishment : of the Wright brothers, in flying the first air plane. The first space man himself was quoted , by Moscow radio as saying "The realization of flight into space opens up grandiose prospects in the conquest of space by mankind." The epi c flight was made while the United States appar ently was still weeks away from putting its first man into space and months from shooting him into orbit around! the earth. .

The Film Society had ori ginally requested Mr. Card to bring down prints of "The Pil grim" and "The Idle Class," both written, produced and di rected by Chaplin during the Twenties. A spokesman for the Society, however, said that some members-had asked that the first Chaplin-directed feature, "The Kid," co-starring childt s ar Jackie Coogan. be substituted for one of the shorter films. This may replace . "The Idle Class." Two Released Only two Chaplin films are currently in release in this country.

Yuri began his education in the district school in 1941 at the age of seven. But then the Nazis came and the boy's schooling was interrupted until after the war. Yuri was a good student, ac cording to the records, and in 1951- finished secondary high school, graduating "with dis tinction." The spaccman-to-be then at tended a vocational school where he qualified as a moulder and foundryman. He was ambi tious and hard-working, as evi denced by the fact that he si multaneously attended an eve ning school, then enrolled as a student at a technical school at Saratov. Flying Lessons While still attending the Saratov school, Gagarin joined the Saratov aeroclub and began taking flying lessons. With his technical degree in his pocket, he headed for Orenburg in the Ural Mountains and entered a Soviet Air Force school. In" Orenburg he met a young woman medical student, Valen- tina, now 26, whom he later married. The second of their two daughters was born only a month ago, while he was in the midst of the final stages of his astronaut training. The baby was named Galya. Their other child, Yelena, is aged two. Spaceman's Name NEW YORK (UPI) Soviet spaceman Yuri Gagarin's name is pronounced "u-rce gaa-garr- in" with an even accent on each syllable of the last name. The New York office of T;.-. official Soviet news agency, gave the pronunciation of the name a relatively simple name for a Russian. ers ing many films which would have disintegrated or been de stroyed. By purchases, trades, loan-, and gifts he has built one of the world's largest collect inn; of motion pictures at Eastman House. Mr. Card is a member of the International Association of Film Archivists and other trade societies. CHARLES CHAFLIN . . . In Films Here a ft 1
