'Put Out Still More Flags Unnofficial Cypriot Motto By PETER BUCKLEY NICOSIA (CP) -- Any Cana- dian who hopes to escape the great flag controversy at home would be well advised to avoid Cyprus. Flags in Cyprus approach the level of a national mania, sec- perhaps only to a day two of shooting in the moun- tains. In the Turkish sectors of the divided island, the question is straightforward. The only {lag to be flown is the flag of Tur- key--white crescent and on a red background. Well, almost straightforward. It's in the Greek areas, however, that the confu- sion hits a fine peak. There is the Greek - flag, the Greek-Cypriot and the flag of Cyprus. The flag flown outside Greek Embassy here, for ex Greek flag, blue field.

What they finally settled on was a plain white background, with an outline of the island of Cyprus in the centre, above two crossed olive branches. Tlic color of the central figure is a pale gold, and the leaves are dark green, It is not the type of flag that sets designers and heraldic ex- perts to rejoicing. DEFIANT SIGNPOSTS While the flag of Cyprus is relatively rare, the Greek naval flag and the Turkish star and crescent are everywhere In heavily populated areas, the usual procedure is for each side to clear a building of its occupants, pack the windows with sandbags, build a_ sand- bagged gun post on the roof, and then float a flag in nuse- whole fortification, Smaller villages usually have at least one flag high enough and central enough to identify the loyalties of the occupants. and the village cafe wil often have a smaller banner stand- ing in the corner, n the mountain battle- grounds, however, a Greek or Turkish flag is nearly indispen-| sable. Since the peaks so often look out of hand any possibility of; office build-| are scarcely distinguishable one ing to provincial g from the other -- a partisan climbing the hills for a day of rifle practice could become one of the rare battle casualties if there weren't a flag to guide him to the right camp The entire situation has been even further confused course, by the arrival of United Nations. Since the national. contin- gents in the UN force--Canada, Britain, Denmark, Finland, Ire- land and Sweden--usually fly their own national flags over their main camps, in addition to the blue and white UN ban- the lner, the sky above Cyprus is alive with flags of every de- scription. The arrival of a new flag to replace the Red Ensign over the Canadian camps, if it ever occurs, will only add a small ripple to the sea of confusion here.

The young prosecutor takes a flat, unsensational approach to his job--"sensation is a_ by- product'--but he spoke with grim finality when he gave this analysis to a Canadian re- porter: "History has many examples of slaughters and atrocities, but for me two things emerge about Auschwitz. "Auschwitz was a death fac- tory with at the same time a successful attempt to make use of the victims' belongings rings, watches, silk and wool- ilen- underwear, gold teeth, wom- en's hair, anything. This was new "The second thing that from studying the persona! files of the men who worked at Auschwitz their religious family and persona! back- ground -- I'm convinced they represented a cross-section of the German population at the time. And. not one of them re- belled." CAN'T EXPLAIN Why did they do it? "IT don't, know," said Kuegler with a helpless gesture. 'I'm only a lawyer." The case, which began last Dec. 20 and is expected to run until early next year, is the biggest in a new wave of war- érime trials now being heard in West Germany. Its significance is great. Unlike the post-war Nuern- berg trials, where Allied judges tried Germans for war crimes under international law, the German. posecutors accuse the defendants of violations of Ger- man criminal law ranging from murder to assault and battery. Wide newspaper coverage has caused spasms of shock among Germans, and some of the older generation are said to be- lieve the exercise is pointless nearly 20 years after the war. But. Kuegler draws satisfaction from the impact on young peo- ple, "They are asking a lot of questions--questions that have no. answers," he said. The hearing before' three and a jury. has- been the Frank furt is whose gallery is Teach- and youth club leaders bring young folk to listen. public hall, is usually expressed by dead jsilence,' Kuegler said. Hear-| lings are held three days a week and it was an off day) when a group of Commonwealth} reporters visited the court. "A separate case, involving two henchmen of Adolf Eichmann, | was being tried. | The Auschwitz accused, a routine - looking group, range from Boger,the dreaded head of the camp's political section to former guards, Each could pass for an ordinary burgher, or citizen--did just that,.in fact, for many years. Many sought to put blame on the dead Eichmann, who tried to imple- ment the "final solution" of the Jewish problem. Apart from one defendant who killed a pedestrian while drunk-driving, the accused ap- parently have lived within the law since the war, sometimes under assumed names, Kuegler estimates about 20 Auschwitz "hig fish'? are still free, Why has retribution, waited so \long? Kuegler indicated the West German authorities haye been slow--"this sounds like an ac- cusation and in a way it is' but there were difficulties. For one thing, Auschwitz was in Poland, behind the Iron Cur- tain. Several wanted men took refuge on the South American "chessboard." Eichmann was grabbed by Israeli agents but Dr. Joseph Mengele, Ausch- witz doctor, is. still there, An- other doctor, Schumann, is safely ensconced in Ghana as President Nkrumah's personal | physician.

Some 800 cases now are pend- ing, and Kuegler said this rep- resents a determination among responsible Germans to face up to and root out the evils of the past. sands of German prisoners, in- eluding war criminals and wit- nesses, were released by the Soviet Union. New trials brought out horrors similar to those now being recounted at Frankfurt. Ordinary Germans had sus- pected that Alliedtribunals were tinged with vengeance but now their own courts were prov- ing that, for instance, the 88 \Elite Guard was a sort of Mur- der Incorporated. Another significant event came in 1958 when legal au- thorities of West Germany's 11 states formed at Ludwigsburg a central agency to deal with for- eign countries and clear away tangles among themselves. The agency has opened nearly 700 preliminary inquiries and handed over 480 cases to prose- cutors. It was in this way that \Kuegler and his co-prosecutor, Fritz Vogel, also 38, came into the picture at Frankfurt once the home of Germany's biggest Jewish community.
