Chancellor Konrad Adenauer has decided to send an observer to the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem, it was reported here today. The Bonn Government is believed to anticipate that the Soviet Union may use statements at the trial as material for an attack against West Germany.

Eichmann, meanwhile, was reported here to have made a statement to the Israeli authorities accusing 387 “more or less prominent personalities” in West Germany, of having aided and abetted him in the extermination of millions of Jews. The accusations, according to the report, were contained in the 1,300-page confession which Eichmann made to Israeli authorities.
