Professor Georges Wellers, a lecturer at the Sorbonne in Saris, recalled the pathetic sight of .the i-agged children being assembled at Draney camp in France to await trams-ponUiUon to tine Auschwitz gas

Many were itwo, three ar four years old, he said, an �'didn't even know their o\v names." At nig>bt, it'hey wok up crying for their mothers � They 'Were brought to tH camp "in" torn clothes, r'ag sihoes missing, bodies covere with sores," Wellers testifiet SOUGHT  PARENTS

NEW YORK (AP) � Former president Eisenhower says thai as a private citizen1 he will "discuss a n d argue" public questions as long avs he has the strength and opportunity.
in Mie first article ho has writiten since leaving the White House Jan. 20, he also disclosed ithat he was n o t sure lie would not have sought, a third term � if the constitution had permii-ited and if he could 'h a v e foreseen the Republican defeat in the presidential election.
tie said 'he believed the long-term health and vigor of free government depended on the levt'l of each citizen's interest in basic problems "and his readiness to discuss and argue with his fellows."
Now Hear This...
Doe Bill Saunders, being the dominion government veterinarian, here, is a guy who knows all about horses. Which makes it surprising that he took his race horse down to the Lower Mainland to get :ier 'bred, because when she arrived there Bill was told she was seven months pregnant ...
An error in The Citizen classified page yesterday proved one thing � Citizen classifieds get results. It also proved embarrassing to Mrs. Carl Strom, The ad was for lopsoil from Ernie's Excavating but the phone num-iber printed was Mrs. .Strom's. Sl;e said the phone almost jumped off the wall . . . Joe Huska was given a noisy demonstration t'other night of just what ignorance can spawn, particularly when it's swimming in alcohol.. Half a dozen rowdies caused such a ruckus in the concession at his Moonlite Theatre that he almost had to call police. Seems they, in their drunken bravado, were proclaiming to all the world that
Eichmann wasn't such a bad fellow after all and that the film showing, Operation Eich-nia'nn, wasn't fair to the former keeper of the gas chambers . . . Call went out today for more vests (weskits) for the Barber Shop singers who want to decorate and wear them at their concert May 27. The .boys say they appreciate those which have come in so far, but there aren't enough of them. Any further donations may be sent in to Ted Miller at.The Citizen . . . Perhaps Ian Evans could donate that grey cape he's wearing about town, or is he practicing to be The Shadow in the PG Players' next performance?
City council held its shortest meeting of the year last night. It got all its piiiblic business done in 13 minutes, then went into closed meeting. Which prompted'former mayor Carrie Jane Gray to remark: This is the most ineffective city- council we've ever had since the city .vas incorporated in ;191G . . .
said, he told the fo'oy: "Do mot worry, in two or three days you will find your mother."
Then the ijoy pulled from the .pocket of his 'tattered jacket a half-eaten army ration biscuit.
"This 'half of the biscuit 1 shall keep for mother," the boy said.
A shout time later the boy was among 1,000 children deported to Auschwitz.
Wellers testified after the prosecution ..stated that Pierre Laval, head of the collaborationist Vichy government, proposed 'to 'the Germans in 19-12 that children should be included in the German roundup of French Jews.
The prosecution turned to the fate of French Jewry as it built up its file of evidence on the German, program to ex-term inaite the Jewish race, which Eichmann is accused of heading. UXDKK  tfi
Assistant Prosecutor Gabriel Bach submitted documents describing preparations for a roundup of 40,000 French Jews in the summer of 1942 under pressure from Eichmann's representative In Paris, SS Lieut. Pheodor Dannecker.

HIGHER
THAN APRIL LAST YEAR
Construction valued at 130   was   started   here � during April, according to figures re-
I leased today .by the city's build-
i ing inspector, Ed M?Ff.
I This is slightly higher than the $409,650 worth of. construction started during April in 1960.     �
Last month's figure 'brought to $1,025,953 the amount oi construction started in the city up toi the end of last .month.
�During   the   same   four-month
�period last year the amount was
only ?514,346.
During 1959 a total of $1,805,-00o ?f 'building was started during the first four months of the year but this included $1,115,113 started .during April when the Hotel Simon Fraser and two-school additions were begun.
Big reason for the upsurge of (,'ailding so far this year compared with 1960 is a ibig in-creas in house construction, said Mr. Neff.
A total of 26 single family dwellings    were   started   last
month, bringing the year's total to 49,. During the same.month last year only nine single family dwellings were started to bring the total for the year to 12.
Lack of available mortgage money was given as the reason for last year's low number of housing starts.
Also started during April this year were one duplex, a new commercial building, seven additions and alterations to couir rnorcial 'buildings, .'10 additions and   alterations   to   residential
bujldiugs, .,e.ight carports -(,or garages and two baseriicrils. , Construction of duplexes, has fallen off this year compared to last >car. Only two duplexes have been started during the year, compared with six during April alone in I960.
So  far buildings
this year  five  large have   been   started.
This includes the new municipal library, Speedee Printers Ltd. building, CKPG's television-studio, and � the new Chinese Free Masons' 'building.           ,   ...
