Raps Eic JERUSALEM ~-- Joseph P. Kennedy, father of President Kennedy, reported in 1938 that the outlook for the Jews in Ger- many was "very bad," evidence introduced today in the trial of Adolf Eichmann showed, Kennedy was the American ambassador to Britain at the time. The court trying Eichmann received a photostatic copy of a report Kennedy cabled to the state department Dec. 8, 1938. Assistant Attorney-General Ya"- akov Bar'or told the judges it was obtained from the National Archives in Alexandria, Va. Kennedy relayed a report, received from the French for- eign office, of a conversation between Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim - von Ribbentrop and French Ambassador Henri Bon- net. "The results were very bad," Kennedy cabled Washington. Kennedy's message also 're- ferred to "financial arrange- ments" and '"'our plans with the British." WANTED TO HELP Bar'or said Kennedy's : cable was about "the refugees from Germany, ways of helping them and easing their situation." Kennedy's message said in party a - "ON Senior Kennedy hmann "Ribbentrop, when pressed, Germany, without exception, were pickpockets, murderers and thieves. The property they possess had been acquired il- legally. The German govern- ment therefore decided to as- similate them with criminal ele- ments. The Kennedy report was one of several dozen entered in the record today by Bar'or. Eichmann himself came to the prisoner's dock carrying an armload of files and documents. As the prosecution went on re- ferring, in documents, to events and dates, Eichmann quickly opened his folders. MARKS PASSAGES He made copious notes and marked certain passages. Letters written by Eichmann, then climbing to power on the Gestapo ladder, were put in evidence. Eichmann was quoted as say- ing in a letter he wrote in -1938 that he had the leaders of the Jewish community in Viénna "on the run . . . they are work- ing diligently. . . .

Many of the prisoners said they had expected the Cuban people to rise up and join the invading rebels. PARIS (Reuters) -- The French government cracked down on right-wing extremists today and cut off recruiting for the Foreign Legion in the wake of a four-day Algerian uprising against President de Gaulle. Hundreds of known die-hard rightists were being held in custody amid warnings of pos- sible new flareups by extrem- ists trying to overthrow de Gaulle's policy of negotiating with Moslem rebels in 'Algeria. A government order closed all recruiting offices in France for the Foreign Legion, which played a key role in the abor- tive revolt in Algeria. One Paris newspaper, the mass-circulation France Soir, said the move indicated that the Legion, "or at least some of its units, might be dissolved." The strength of the Foreign Legion is a government secret, but unofficial reports have placed the number of legion- A government spokesman said (official reports placing the num- that "all those who followed the rebel chiefs must face the rigors of the law." 4 French Pressure Hits Rightists naires at about 30,000, many of them German.

'Meanwhile, three generals who sided with the rebels dur- ing their uprising were flown back here and de Gaulle made it known that the government planned to stamp out right. wing supporters of the rebellion in France. The president retained dicta- torial powers despite the crush- ing of the revolt and Premier Michel Debre warned in a tele- vision broadcast Wednesday night that "flareups or new de- velopments are still possible." Informed sources disclosed that several hundred suspects have been detained in the last few days in a country - wide roundup of right-wing extrem- ists.
