They said the speech Monday night contained an amplification of his previous stands on Germany and Berlin that might open the way to fruitful negotiations.
Khrushchev referred in the of
possibility thai lived communication for ;i tree city of W'csi Berlin could be written into a German peace treaty, Observers said Khrushchev's latest offer of negotiations, coupled with the threal to move uooiis to Russia's West-

DENVER (AP) � A 58-ton steel and concrete door atop a l'iian missile launching silo slammed shut with an earth shaking crash, killing five work men and injuring eight others Monday.
Three bodies were recovered. Two others were otill pinned between the door and the edge of the huge silo.
A spokesman at Buckley Field, scene of the accident said "it may be as long as 72 hours before the door can be raised." BIG  JOB
"II   presents   a   considerable engineering   problem,"   said spokesman for one of the civilian contractors on the $165,000,
000   construction job. Buckley  Field  identified  two
of the dead as Jerry E. Brancio of Denver and George Graham of  nearby  Aurora.
Witnesses said some of those
who  were  injured   leaped  into
safety nets placed at intervals
n the  165-foot silo.
The massive door was one of
1   pair that are raised hydraul-cally as a missile rides to the urface. The cause of the crash
las not been  determined.
GREAT   ROAR
A  spokesman   at  the  missile omplex said either a hydraulic ailure or the failure  of  a   re-raining cable caused the door crash.
It  cracked   and   split  with remendous roar.
The accident happened at the rst of a Titan three-site corn-ex to be turned over to mil-ary control. Each site on the olorado plains will have a ca icily of six missiles.

JERUSALEM (Reuters)� Attorney - Genera] Gideon Haus-ner of Israel pictured Adolf Eichmann today as a coldblooded executioner who willingly took part in crimes "unprecedented in the history of mankind."
BcKinninp his closing address in the marathon trial of the man accused of complicity in the murder of millions of Jews, llausner likened Eichmann to Hitler himself.
"lie spoke like him  and acted   like   him,"   the   prosecutor I told the packed courtroom in a IvoicO  loaded  with  emotion.
"The shadows of Hitler and Ins accomplices are hOVOfing around us � those ghoulish persons whom humanity will lores er remember," llausner said. Eichmann looked calm and rested as he returned to his glass cage In the courtroom after a IS day recess in the trial lint his lace soon began twitching nervously and he pursed   his   ||pi    as    llausner
launched Into 1 recital of Nazi
atrocities.
Not once,   llausner said,  had the court heard "a single word
oi  regret or repentance from
I him   .      .   not   a  s\ liable of  re-
regret it was because the loathsome work was not completed," said Hausner,
"If there was sorrow, it was because the means chosen were not effective enough to complete the task."
Court officials expected llaus-ner's summing up to last about three days. The court is then expected to adjourn for another day or two before Dr. Robert Servatius, Eichmann'a West German defence counsel, delivers his address.
The three judges are not expected lo hand down their verdict  until  October.

U.S., RED MOON SHOT PROPOSED
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) �
A Soviet .scientist Monday urged i�>int efforts bj Russia and the i ,S, to place observation  stations  on  the   moon.
Professor A, A. Mikhailov,
president  ol  Hie  astronomical
council <� in dnn;:er, a B.C. Forest Service  spokesman  warned.
"If this  fire ever gets  com-ilctely out of control  again,  it could   take   both   communities. There's a lot of good, dry timber between them and the fire." The fire was still out of control on its eastern, leading edge today  but crews had   managed to slow it dosvn with  a  series if fire-guards. MOVING SLOWLY
The fire is moving slowly in that spot," the forestry spokesman said. "But sparks keep jumping it ahead of its guards. It's a never-ending battle."
About 190 men are battling to control the blaze as it advances towards Giscome and Willow River. Remaining members of the crew of 300 working on the fire have managed to partially control the blaze on the west side. Twenty-five bulldozers are being used lo battle the blaze. Size of the blaze, known as the Grove Fire for lack of a better name, was revamped in a new forest service estimate today. Its size was placed at about 25,000 acres, down from previous estimates.
It is one of two major fires in the area which are still burning out of control. The other is the Tsus Fire, 40 miles southeast of here, which covers 30,-000 acres. WEATHER   HELPS
The 300-acre eastern front was hit hard by water-bombers Monday when it burst fire guards on one side.
"The weather helped us a little Monday," the forest service spokesman said, "but today's sveather isn't going to. And, if we get wind, all hell will break loose."
(Forecast today was for warmer, dryer weather for the next several days. Chances of rain  were  nil.)
The Grove Fire completely destroyed Tabor Creek Sasv-mill Monday. The mill was partially burned out Sunday but the actual sawmill was left standing.
Mill osvner Alf Strom said today a bulldozer coming into the mill to protect it was delayed "and arrived 15 minutes too late. We had nothing else to fight  the  fire  with."
Loss  has   been   estimated   at $10,000.  It was partially  covered by  insurance. 22 MILLION  FEET
The fire- is said to have destroyed almost all the timber contained in Unit Four of the Willow Itiwr Working Circle. Conservative estimates place the lo.ss at L'ii million board feet.
Vic Ihmter sslio, with his wile lieriuce, escaped Saturday morning from the forest .service

VOLUNTEER FIRE-FIGHTEKS have been provided by the Unemployment Insurance Commission since early Saturday morning. About .300 of the volunteers have been rushed to the two major fires in the Prince George Forest District. Above are some of the men being signed up in the UIC office.
