Tunisian Praises U.S. Anti-Colonialism Policy
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba praised the United States today for "returning to its traditional policy of anti-colonialism."
Bourguiba addressed a joint session of Congress after he and President Kennedy had begun private talks at the White House on North African problems, particularly the explosive situation in Algeria.
His praise was welcome in Washington, where Bourguiba is considered a friend who can be frank in his criticism.
"What your country needs are not satellites who vote with you automatically on all issues because they want your money, but friends who support you from conviction, and who may also oppose you from conviction." Bourguiba said.
"WHAT YOUR country gains in affection and prestige from the recently-emancipated and still colonized peoples is greater than the anger or irritation of guilty governments, however powerful these governments may be." Bourguiba said.
JERUSALEM — (UPI) — A witness at the Adolf Eichmann trial told today how the Nazis offered a Jewish woman the life of one of her three children who were being taken to extermination.
"She could not choose," said Dr. Aharon Feretz, "and all three were taken."
THE PHYSICIAN was testifying about events in the Kovno Ghetto after Adolf Hitler's armies had swept across Lithuania. He said Nazi police burst into the Ghetto one day, rounded up all the children and at gun point pushed them into cars to be taken to the place of extermination. A woman, he said, came running down the street crying "give me back my children."
More Ghetto Horrors Told
"A policeman asked: 'How many do you have?' She replied: 'three.' The policeman said: 'You can take one.'"
There was a pause, and then Peretz said slowly: "She could not choose and all three were taken."
THE NAZIS not only were out to destroy children, Peretz said, but they tried to prevent any more being born. In July, 1942, an order was issued forbidding Jewish women to conceive or give birth.
Another witness quoted a sergeant in the German Army as having said that "a dog called Eichmann" was organizing the murder of the Jews in Lithuania.
"I had to perform abortions," the witness said, "because it meant saving a woman's life. I remember one woman came to me, she was a lawyer's wife, and had waited many years to conceive. Now she was pregnant and told me she did not want an abortion. She said the Casablanca Conference was on and perhaps the war would soon be over."
Illegitimate Births Reach State Peak
TOPEKA — (UPI) — The State Board of Health said today that illegitimate births in Kansas reached a peak of 1,540 or 3.1 per cent of the total 49.175 live births last year.
The Health Board has not yet determined the ileitigmity rate for white and non-white babies last year. But in 1959, the board reported 1.6 per cent of the white babies were born out of wedlock, while 16.6 per cent of the non-white babies were born ileitigmately.
But Irvin Franzen, director of the board's vital statistics division, said the Kansas rate is still only approximately half the average rate for the nation as a whole.
THE TUNISIAN President said his government has been careful not to endanger its relations with France because "We believe firmly that a national movement based on hatred or revenge would be unfitted to shoulder the responsibilities of power."

He said his nation has a firm intention to "liberate our country from the last vestiges of an unhappy occupation," referring to Bizerta which still is occupied by the French.
