Terrific research, Mr. Scully. This quote seems to be like you're having found the needle in the haystack. I don't have a subscription to the New York Times, so I couldn't read the article mentioned where Adenauer discussed the Nazi Trials.
But I personally don't think that it is expected that JFK would just keep his mouth closed on the Eichmann issue. If JFK were in favor of life imprisonment of Eichmann and not execution, then why wouldn't some reporter, especially an Israeli or Jewish reporter quiz him on this?
It still looks like JFK was "gun-shy" about this whole situation. Keep in mind that Wernher Von Braun was prosecuted in absentia for war crimes by the East German Government in about 1967 and had to face legal questioning in the US regarding his WWII activities as part of this trial.
It's not that the deportation, kidnapping or other actions against ex-Nazis was irrelevant to JFK's role as POTUS. And as most people who read my posts are aware, I feel that in my book The Three Barons, I have proven that it was WWII left-over Nazis who murdered JFK (with help from certain American and world leaders). So JFK's hesitancy (which you have brilliantly documented) fits into that picture IMHO.
