Super-Seats Are Now Proposed for Super-Pilots SEATTLE -(P)- Cramped quarters for crew membersstandard equipment in many former commercial planes have been eliminated in the new Boeing Stratocruiser. Boeing engineers report that pilots who have tried it are enthusiastic about a control cabin providing room for comfort. Boeing claims added safety is involved design which not only gives crew members room to sit and move about comfortably, but offers wide visibility, ease of handling controls and reduced vibration in the cockpit. To indicate previous conditions, F. A.

Spencer, a pilot writing in American Aviation is quoted: "One very gingerly lift one foot like a baseball pitcher, place it outside the control column and carefully slide the other foot in place. Failure to perform this maneuver gracefully results in bruised legs, accompanied by a foolish feeling of awkwardness as one catches one's clothes" on various pieces of equipment. The Stratocruiser cockpit, in contrast, will hold 13 persons without crowding. Normally, it will hold only the two pilots, I Nazi War Leaders Face Charges Of 'Genocide' in Indictments By BRONISLAW MATECKI (Polish Economics Professor and Government Official) LONDON -(P) "Crime with- LEG ROOM--Boeing's Strotocruiser offers a roomy cockpit.

out name." That is how Winston ChurchIll, in a broadcast made' in 1941, described the terrifying accumulation of well-planned barbarities committed by the Nazis on the living bodies of many a European nation and race. Britain's war leader, whose unique eloquence failed him when he searched for a word to convey the suffering of peoples tortured by the German oppressor, finds now the name of this nameless crime in the indictment of the Nazi war leadersgenocide. Count Three of the indictment reads in part: They (the defendants) conducted deliberate and systematic genocide in order to destroy particular races Genocide, and classes the of word people. to fit the crime, seems likely not only to play its part in the Nuernberg trials, but may change the aspects of international law in war and in peace. The creator of the word, Prof.

Raphael Lemkin, a noted scholar of international law, formerly a public prosecutor in Poland and now a faculty member. at Duke University in North Carolina, says he had no "linguistio ambitions" in writing the name, that he aimed at a legal and humanitarian concept which, if generally accepted. would mittgate mankind's misery, Why Genocide has two roots--the Greek "genos," nation or race; the Latin "cide," a suffix made from "caedere," killing. Put them together and there is a nation" or "murderer of a nation." In his book, Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Washington, D. Dr.

Lemkin writes hithertoused terms for attacks upon nations as a whole are inadequate. "Denationalization," he declares, does not convey biological destruction and, in sometimes is used in the sense of deprivation of citizenship. This author finds terms like "Germanization," Italianization" or "Magyarization" fail to vey physical annihilation and are to be applied only in such special cases where one nation attacks the national pattern of the other. Genocide. on the other hand, means what it says: A murderous attack, upon a nation or group than the oppressor.

It does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation--except when accomplishthe mass killing of all its members. It is intended rather to imply a coordinated campaign for the destruction of the essential foundations of the life of national, religious and ethic groups with the purpose of annihilating the groups themselves. Thus genocide was practiced by the Germans upon Jews, Gypsies, Poles, Russians, and other Slavs and, to a lesser extent, upon Frenchmen, Belgians, and Luxembourgers. How It Works Genocide is directed against a groups as an entity, and the actions involved are directed against individuals, not in their individual capacity, but as members of such groups. Lemkin finds in the Hague Conventions a legal basis for the punishment of genocide More important than punishment, however, he declares, prevention-effective only when impartial investigators are allowed to study the victims' cases.

Further, he advocates prosecution for genocide in peacetime. World War II, writes the professor, taught that not only minorities but whole nations and races, if weak, may be attacked with a view toward annihilation.
