Bids for Trucking Mail
To Alaska Taken to
D. C. for Consideration
SEATTLE UR — Bids for truck
ing mail to Fairbanks and An
chorage daily over the Alaska
Highway have been taken to
Washington for consideration, a
regional post office official said
yesterday.
Miller M. Bodell, distribution
and traffic manager, said the bids
were collected here by William
Tobin, representing the Postmaster
General. Tobin flew back to the
national capital Wednesday.
Bodell said he did not know
how many bids were received, or
when and by whom they would
be opened.
The Post Office Department’s
proposal to truck mail to all but
Southeast Alaska instead of send
ing the bulk of it twice weekly
by ship drew a strong protest
from the Alaska Steamship Co.
and some members of the Wash
ington congressional delegation.
Alaska Steam said loss of its
mail subsidy would be a crippling
blow. And fears were expressed
in the state’s congressional ranks
that Washington would no longer
be the terminal point for mail
truck shipments.

Eichmann Testifies He
Tried to Create a
Homeland for Jews
JERUSALEM Ufi —Adolf Eich
mann testified yesterday he tried
to save Europe’s Jews by creating
a homeland for them on the
Island of Madagascar.
The former Gestapo Lt. Colonel
said he conceived tihe “Madagas
car plan” that was juggled around
in high Nazi circles in 1940 but
never got past the paper stage.
Eichmann identified principal
portions of the plan as his own,
particularly a study of climate
and living conditions .on the
French island off the East African
Coast.
The defendant, accused of a
major role in the Nazi extermina
tion of six million Jews, did not
explain how or when the Mada
gascar scheme foundered. Israel
has produced evidence that Hitler,
Heinrich Himmler and Gestapo
Chief Reinhard Heydrich decided
on mass extermination “as the
final solution of the Jewish prob
lem” early in 1941.
Hitler, in published accounts of
his informal nightly conversations
over tea, said he rather favored
the Madagascar scheme for a
while because conditions there
would eventually wipe out the
Jews.
On the witness stand for the
third day, Eichmann insisted he
always approached the “solution”
to the Jewish problem by “trying
to put some ground, some soil,
under their feet.”
The Madagascar idea was the
first action Eichmann claimed as
his own. Everything else, he said,
was done under orders from some
body else. He contended he was
in the Berlin headquarters of the
Gestapo “against my will.”
What’s in a name . . . the full
name of the piano is “Gravicem
balo col piane forte.” It’s almost
easier to learn to play than pro
nounce.
