Jl'J1! i '>Ai .KM - - Adolf Eichmann pleaded not guilty today to all 15 counts in the Israeli indictment accusing him of directing the extermination of C,000,000 European .lews.
Tiicn Attorney-General Gideon llausner opened hi.s case with the words:
"Six million prosecutors .stand Here with me."
Eichmann entered his plea after the special throe-judge court rejected the defence challenge of Israel's right to try the former Gestapo officer. 10 MINUTES
Standing with Prussian stiffness in the glass-enclosed prisoners dock. Eichmann averted his eyes from the gallery of the crowded court during the It) minutes it took Supreme Court .Justice Moshc Landau to ask him how lie pleaded on each count.
Eichmann's lips twitched occasionally. A tomb-like silence hung over the courtroom, broken only by Landau's voice and Eichmann's replies.
"You hoard the indictment on the first day of this hearing," the president said.
"Jawohl," Eichmann replied. firmly.
"Do you admit if'e first count in ihe indii iment?"
"In the spirit of Ihe indictment, I am not guilty." Eichmann replied, his voice steady and low-pitched.
Then, count after count, the president's question ami Eichmann's answers were  identical:
"l>n   you   plead   guilty   or   not

"In   the   spirit   of ment. 1 am not guilty.

IDENTICAL ANSWERS
Although all the judges speak German, each of Eichmann's identical answers was translated into Hebrew, the official language of the court, and each of Landau's questions was translated into German for 'the prisoner.
The charge contained in each count of Ihc indictment was not read. Landau simply asked "do you plead guilty or not guilty" and then listed the number of the count.
Eichmann's last answer having been inscribed, he sat down, fixed the earphones linking him to the court on his bald head, settled hack in his chair and looked uictly at Attorney-General llausncr.
Earlier the judges ruled igainst arguments by West German defence Lawyer Robert Servatius that they are prejudiced ami the court is not competent t" try Eichmann, They also said the method of Kich-matin's arrest and abduction from Argentina 11 months ago is irrelevant.
The defence had argued that the law under which Eichmann is on trial, the Nazi and Nazi collaborators' law of 1050. is unjust because Eichmann's alleged crimes were committed long before it was passed. The judges also rejected the plea that Eichmann had been acting under orders from the Nazi slate.
VOICE SHAKING
llausner. in a voice shaking with feeling, began his opening statement by saying:
"When I stand before you. judges of Israeli to accuse .Adolf Eichmann, I do not stand here alone.
"Here with me stand six million prosecutors.
"Bill alas they cannot rise and level a finger at the man in the prisoner's dock."

VANCOUVER ICPI — An arms demolition expert who removed a dynamite bomb from an Anglican Church in Wynndel on the weekend .said Sunday he narrowly escaped injury when the detonator exploded  in  his face.
Sst. Ma.j. Ralph Spenser said ihe time fuse on the bomb had expired and the slightest vibra-tio¦ would have set the liO-stick device off.
The detonator was inches from hi.s face when it went off, he said. "II   was one  of the  most  lick-lish jobs I have ever handled." S'-U.   Spenser   said   it   was   fortunate the bomb was discovered before   any   services   were   held in the church.
"Because of the delicate mechanism of the bomb, the slightest movement could have "blown 30 to 4!) people out of the church." The bomb was removed Satur-[ day  after a  terrorist  blast  Friday blew out the wall of a grain j elevator.

Job Discrimination Charged by Peterson
VANCOUVER WV— Labor Minister Peterson told the Labor Institute on Race Relations Sunday some employers in Ihc province, don't follow the principles of the Fair Employment Practices Act when drawing up employment application forms.
The minister was speaking on the employment act and the Public Accommodations Act. bot.h of which are aimed at discrimination.
The minister said his department has received complainls from persons who have filled out application  forms which  a^k:
Place of birth, name anrl address of person to be notified in case of injury, complexion, clubs and organizations, and name and place of schools attended.
An industrial relations officer is sent to rcconciliate in all sucli eases. So far the employers have been found to be wrong and Ihc application forms have been changed.
Mr. Peterson said his department had two complaints from persons fired or not hired because of their race.
An Englishman complained he had been dismissed from a hotel because lie was English, and a Negro said lie bad been refused a job because lie was a negro.
In both eases, it was proved the employers were not discriminating and the complainants were satisfied discrimination did not enter the picture,
Mr. Peterson said il is loo early lo see effects of the month old Public Accommodations Act.
