Swastika-marked threats that Jews would be murdered if Adolf Eichmann were to be executed were received by Jews here today. The threats came by mail, addressed to two prominent storekeepers and to the head of one of the prominent Guatemalan Jewish families here. All were in envelopes marked by a swastika.
