Eichmann Helps In Own Defense
JERUSALEM — (UPI) — Adolf Eichmann is entirely sane and has been making valuable contributions to his own defense, his lawyer said today.
Defense counsel Robert Servatius revealed in an exclusive interview with United Press International that two psychiatrists have examined Eichmann in the last month.
Eichmann works late at night in his cell preparing suggestions for the next day's court session, Servatius said, and the notes he makes are clear and to the point.
"Eichmann is my best assistant," Servatius said. "He has been throwing light on all dark points and has been working continuously.
"His morale is as good as it can be under the circumstances. He makes the point that he has been telling the truth (in the statement he dictated into a tape recorder), sometimes to his own disadvantage."
More Cuban Revolts Seen
The prosecution said, outside the courtroom, that it would bring to the stand two witnesses who would prove Eichmann lied when he said in his statement that he never personally killed a Jew.
WASHINGTON — (UPI)) — A Kennedy administration official said today that the Cuban struggle against Fidel Castro will continue "until Cuba is once more free."
Adolph A. Berle, the state department's top adviser on Latin America, told an audience here that "the struggle in Cuba is only part of the cold war for all Latin America. Freedom will win."
He in effect echoed President Kennedy's pledge last week that the United States will not abandon Cuba to the Communists.
The White House announced today that Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, the President's brother, will help in a top-level study of the nation's intelligence structure and capacity for limited warfare operations.
BERLE'S SPEECH to the women's National Democratic Club here came amidst these other developments on Cuba:
Kennedy, he said, has "made clear that foreign intervention does not cease to be foreign intervention because it flies a foreign flag and claims to be a social revolution."
French Mobilize to Combat Threatened Rebel Invasion
PARIS — (UPI) — President Charles de Gaulle began bolstering the defense of France with special army reserves today in the face of the spreading military revolt in Algeria.
De Gaulle, invested with dictatorial powers, started mobilizing the reserves after the country had gone through a six-hour invasion alert. The alarm was canceled early this morning but France remained tense though outwardly normal.
Special police and gendarmes patrolled Paris's streets, and the city's buses were parked in side streets ready to be used as makeshift barricades in emergency. In many suburbs, citizens assembled to form vigilante defense groups for local defense.
DESPITE STRONG warnings from
the government, however, most residents in warm, sunny Paris did not appear alarmed at the situation. Informed sources said the government was concerned about public apathy.
An unidentified speaker over the rebel-controlled Algiers radio denied that insurgent French military forces in Algiers had ordered an invasion of France. Earlier, Gen. Maurice Challe, one of the rebel leaders, said on the radio that none of the insurgents had any political or personal ambitions. He said their sole purpose was to save Algeria from the Moslem rebellion that has raged for more than seven years.
ALL PUBLIC DEMONSTRActions were forbidden, and the government took precautions against any seizure by illegal elements of

British Say Cease Fire In Laos Expected Today
LONDON — (UPI)— Britain and Russia have reached an agreement on a three-phase Laos Peace settlement and will call for a cease fire today, authoritative sources reported.
An official announcement is expected to be made in the House of Commons this afternoon.
A dispatch from New Delhi said Britain and Russia had asked Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India to reconvene the three-power International Supervisory Commission for Laos at once The three nations—Poland, India and Canada—would police the cease fire.
THREE AND POSSIBLY four American military advisers are believed caught up in an 11th-hour offensive by Pathet Lao rebels apparently aimed at extending Communist control over as much territory as possible before a cease fire.
The American advisers have been missing since the pro-Communist rebels routed government forces at Vang Vieng Saturday, and officials here feared for their safety.

There was no immediate word about the fourth adviser.

GOVERNMENT REINFORCEMENTs headed northward to blunt the rebel offensive. Loyal forces were reported dug in at Ban Hip Heup, 50 miles north of Vientiane. The new defense perimeter marked the end of a 40-mile retreat over the weekend. Confused reports from the front did not indicate whether the loyalist troops managed to save their precious 105-mm cannon normally kept in the Vang Vieng area or the ammunition air-dropped just before the rebel attack.

In announcing the call-up of the army reserves, the cabinet appealed for support from the French people and warned "a grave threat weighs upon France and the Republic."
De Gaulle summoned a cabinet meeting on the crisis for tomorrow. Parliament was due to reconvene tomorrow afternoon for the first time since December. It will be the start of the spring session.
A message from President Kennedy lauded De Gaulle for "the line you have chosen to solve the tragic problem of Algeria." The message was presented to the General by U.S. Ambassador James K. Gavin.
Kennedy told De Gaulle that "in this grave hour for France, I assure you of my constant friendship and solidarity, as well as that of the American people."
De Gaulle replied with a brief message of thanks.
In Algeria, the rebel generals who proclaimed their revolt last Saturday, appeared to be extending their power without bloodshed.
they claimed complete control of Algiers, Constantine and Oran—the three key military centers in Algeria.
The insurgent broadcasting station in Algiers, calling itself "Radio France" branded De Gaulle a "traitor" for planning to negotiate a peace in the seven-year war with Algerian Moslem rebels.

Baur Says Students Understand World Problems
The KU student has become more aware of the problems of the world and his interest in them has awakened, said E. Jackson Baur, professor of sociology and anthropology, and John H. Biele, instructor of sociology.
Prof. Baur and Mr. Giele were speaking on the apathy of college students at the Current Events Forum Friday.
"STUDENTS HERE ARE becoming more interested in politics, civil rights and scholastic standing." Prof. Baur said. "My heart is warmed by activities such as the recent Model United Nations."
Prof. Baur said he was also encouraged by the interest shown in the Civil Rights Council.
"It may or may not have accomplished a great deal," he said, "but it is obtaining more power and a bigger voice in the college community."
He said he was glad to see the Greek organizations stressing scholarship. Not only will the students benefit from their interest in education, but so will their living group and the college community, he continued.
Mr. Giele said the increased interest in the world situation and the college education was caused from influence off the campus.
"COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE under pressure to distinguish themselves from high school students," he said. "To be different, they must innovate. College students must find ways to be different and one way is to be interested in current happenings."
"For some college athletes, life is just one long game from fourth grade until graduation," he said. "College football players don't need to innovate until after graduation."
He said one way of being different was the trend by students away from the importance of college athletics.
COLLEGES ARE TRYING to combat this stereotype by innovating, Mr. Giele said. He cited the University of Illinois following a trend to give the player blazer jackets instead of letter jackets.
"Gangs, industrial teams and high school teams wear the same type of jacket," he said. "Any more, you can't tell who is who."
"KU's K-Club has a plaque lettermen can buy at graduation," he said. "Few students wear their letter jackets after they graduate, but the plaque can be put on the wall. At least it is a topic for conversation."
Prof. Baur agreed with the decreased interest shown in college athletics.
"FOR SOME STUDENTS, it is a point of pride to be indifferent about football and basketball team standing," he said. "But this disinterest is being counterbalanced by an increased interest in scholarship."
Prof. Baur said when he arrived at KU 14 years ago, he believed that the student was withdrawn and more concerned with ritual than with work.
"It didn't really matter whether the ritual was in church or in the stadium," he said. "But now I feel students want to leave the ritual. They're now more interested in active work. There is an awakening, a ferment on the campus and it is a national trend. There is hope for the future."
