"Do you confess to being an accomplice in (he murder of millions of Jews?" Hausner demanded in one of his first questions.

cannot admit," Eichmann replied. "So far as personal' guilt is concerned, so far as my participation is concerned, I must point out that 1 do not consider myself guilty from the legal point of view. I was only receiving and carrying out orders. If the Jews who were deported by me found their death, then the legal aspect has to be examined." "Will the accused please refrain from speeches and answer my question yes or no," Hausner declared. "My question is not a legal question.

You, in your own heart, do you find ourself guilty as an accomplice to the murder of millions of Jews? Yes or no." "Yes, from the human point of view because I wag guilty in carrying out the Implementation," Eichmann said, Hausner asked Eichmann what he meant by saying once he would gladly jump into the grave knowing that "five million enemies of the Reich" had died. Eiehmann insisted that he did not refer to Jews but to "the foe which was storming the gates of the capital of the Reich." Hausner.asked Eiehmann if he considered just the death sentences handed down at Nuernburg to Marshal Hermann Goering and Karl Frank, Nazi overlord in Czechoslovakia, for their tole in the killing of Jews. "Yes, since they were people who gave orders they had to bear responsibility," Eichmann said. "They had to take the conse quences." When the prosecutor told Eieh- mann, "You were always strictly anti-Semite" Eichmann replied: "I was never an anti-Semite. I was a very tough nationalist.

I have confessed to that. I have never disputed that." In direct testimony, Eichmann stid he hid out after the war and then fled to Argentina because he felt his trial would be "political" rather than legal. by The Telegram Three Teleg.ram-area students have won honorable mention on the spring semester honor roll at Southwestern College at Winfield.

Warden, L. Brown. Band Was Formed Here Before City Organized Citv Friday, July 7. 1961 2 (This was itten for a band program published here in 1955, and was revised slightly to to date.) By ALFRED J. KEFFER Garden City had a band even before it was incorporated" as a city.

In 1879, five years before the city was given its charter, the community had its first Fourth of July celeibration. Pediaps the most'-outstanding feature of the day's program was the music furnished by the first band. Ait 10 a.m. on that memorable day, the band led a military parade up the main street and furnished appropriate music throughout the. day.

According to the record in "Conquest of Southwest Kansas," published in 1930 by Leola Howard Blanchard, the personnel of that first band was: Levi Wilkinson, flat cornet; Frank Wood, 1st; N.F. Weeks, 2nd; AmosT Bain, tenor; R.N. Hall, baritone; L.C. Peed, tuba; Collins, tenor drum; and Charles Weeks, bass. From this small beginning the band grew as more people settled in the community.

Quite a few of the early citizens had played in bands during the Civil War, and while indulging in a fovorite pastime, added strength arid vigor to the local organization, A man named Evans directed the band for a time; and during the "boom days" of the early 80s, when the town had a newspaper called "The Daily this newspaper bought, instruments and 'uniforms for the members, and the band was called. "The Sentinel Band" until the paper failed financially. In 1887, the band wr e- ganized as the "Gairden ty 4 Satanta Class of 1941 After 20 yeari Satanta High School's 1941 graduation class Keld a reunion with a public reception followed by a class banquet in Satanta recently with four of their teachers and all but four of the original class members attending.

It was given to him by Lou C. Reed, wtoo gave him lessons on the tuba when he first became a member. In 1897, the band was under the direction of Mr. Reed.

About that same time, Clarence Foulk, a the band, organized a "Boys Band," and with the aid of Lou C. Reed, G.W. Warden and Jesse Bigley, had an enthusiastic organization as some of the boys were sons of members of the original band, and the gradually replaced the older men as they retired from service. Members of the (i Boys Band" were Dave Morgan, Rolley Hartley, Lee C. Diesem, William Collins, Robert Craig, Richard Perry, Fred Dunn, 'Roy DeWaters, Irving Carter, Charles Weeks, Alfred J.

Keffer, Glenn Stevens and William Hopkins. Alfred Schneider was the next director, and under bis leadership the band played at the Dodge City Fair three years, from 1899 to 1901. It played with a stock company there. While in Dodge City, the boys roomed at the old "Dodge House" on Front St. At that time they enjoyed meeting Mr.

Chalk Beeson, who in early days led the Dodge City Cowboy Band, and other members, who, like toe older men of the Garden City organization, had retired from service in the band. In 1901, playing with the same stock company, the band played for one week in Hutchinson, at the opening of the "Home Theater" there. It also furnished an orchestra for the evening show during the week. At Hutchinson, the boys had their first sight of horse-drawn street cars. Jesse Bigley became director in 1907, and the same group played for one week in Topeka for an old soldier's reunion.

In later years, otner directors were Dr. J.W. Butt' Dr. W.D. Howard, W.A Gleason and Ottis B.

Allen. In 1918, while O.B. Allen was director, the citizens of Garden City were asked to vote to levy a tax for the purpose of providing free municipal concerts. Mr. Allen and the ottoer members of the band put on a vigorous campaign to bring the proposition before the public in the spring election, and on April 2, 1918, A by a vote'of 907 to 271, the city authorized to make such a levy.

Thereafter the ward "Municipal" was added to the name of the organization, and it has since been called "The Garden City Municipal Band." In 1925, Alfred J. Keffer became director. In August of 1926, under his direction, the band played one week in Sedalia, Mo. The oc- was the uniform rank encampment of the "Woodmen of the World," which included members from Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. In reporting the event, the "Sedalia Democrat" of August 6, 1926, states that the band from Garden City "has done much to keep the boys in, good spirits, and has helped considerably in making the instructions of the officers in charge in complete form." While in Sedalia, the band was camped on the Missouri State Fairgrounds.

In 1927, the same group played for the organization at its encampment in lola, Kansas, and was camped on the Allen County Fairgrounds. In 1928, the encampment of the "Woodmen of the World" was at Joplin, and this same band played on that occasion, and was camped in Schifferdeckei: Park. The band played one week at each encampment. On August 13, 1930, the band played at Hutchinson at the the "All Kansas Wheat Pageant." In the fall of 1930, the band, under the leadership of Mr. Keffer, assisted materially in introducing band music and band organization into our city schols.

Subsequent the band have been E. Thayer Gaston, C. Burdette Wolfe, Ashley Kauffman, Arthur Williams, Basil Roark and Robert C. Dae- nes. Many of these directors are now in university music departments.

Don Threlkeld is the present band director. This year, 1961, the 82nd anniversary of the beginning of the Garden City Municipal Band. Great credit is due the various directors who have given of their time, talent and effort to guide the many groups that have made up the bands through the years, Mrs. Mellie M. May, 89, 317 N.

It It for a pert on, toy SO of age, to learn a foreign language? A. It a said that, by the 50's, the learning of foreign languages is rare.

During middle-age and beyond it is difficult for the memory to absorb and retain strange words.

Last year in America, the money spent for medical research on all diseases just equaled the sum spent yearly for dog food.
