Yugoslav newspapers have begun a new campaign demanding the extradition from the United States of Andrija Artukovich, called “the Eichmann of Yugoslavia,” who lives now in Los Angeles, according to a report from Belgrade received here today.

Borba and other leading Belgrade newspapers are also demanding that other “murders of Jews” now residing freely in various Western countries, including the United States, be sent back for trial. Artukovich, who was Minister for Internal Affairs in Croatia during the reign of the pro-Nazi Government there, is held by the Yugoslavs to be “personally responsible” for the murder and deportation to death camps of about 35,000 Croatian Jews.
