Jews Urge Special Bonn Police Force;
Adenouer Asks Stiff Law on Race Hate

@ANANs NAOAAAAoAAJg SoAAs
(AP).-The World Jewish Con-
gresS today called for a special
police force to deal with anti
Semitism and resurgent naziSm
in West Germany.
The congress also urged the
banning of all organizations
even suspected of Nazi ten
denotes and the roofing out Of
ex-NaZis from all sections of
German public life.
These were among the writ
ten proposals submitted to
Foreign Minister Heinrich Won
Brentano by Alexander Easter
man, political director Of the
World Jewish Congress in an
hour-long interview.
Mr.. FISHERMAN after ward
told a news conference he re-
ceived a very sympathetic re-
ception from Mr.. Won Brentano
and gained the impression the
Bonn government would act on
some of the congress proposals.
Mr.. FISHERMAN said Mr.. Won
Brentano agreed with him it
would be "the greatest folly"
to treat the present worldwide
wave of anti-Sem.tic incidents
as merely the work of a few ir-
responsible persons.
AdenaGer Asks Tough Law
Chancellor Adenauer's re-
gime. dominated by his Chris
tan Democrats, launched a
double. .barreled campaign last
night to stamp out anti-Se-
mitic demonstrations by swift
court action and sitter sem
tenceS against hatemongerS.
Mr.. Adenauer and his cabi-
net called for speedy en-
actment of a law to increase
the penalties for stirring up
hatred against groups because
of their natural origin" The
maximum sentence now is three
months in Jail; the bill to be
submitted to the BundeStag
would set that as the minimum,
Mr.. Adenauer and his cab
met at a special meeting also
agreed unanimously that cases
under investigation should be
brought to court as quickly as
possible and that the penalties
should correspond to the Sc
verify Of the misdeedS," COM
munique said. /
Two Germans Convicted
Two Germans already have
been convicted of anti-Semtic
acts. Police say two others
being held have admitted
daubing swastikas and anti
Jewish slogans on the new
gogue in Cologne on
Christmas eve, the incident
which launched the present
wave of anti-Semitic acts.
Four men we're arrested yes
terday in West Berlin on
suspicion of anti-Semitic ac-
tivities. Seventeen others are
being held there after a neo-
Nazi youth demonstration.
A 35-year-old German was
arrested and questioned today
in GiesSen after four large
swastikas and symbols of Hit
ler's SIS elite corps were found
painted outside a United States
Army barracks there. A United
States ofilcer said the Swastikas
looked pretty amateurish but
the SIS symbols looked as
though they we're painted by

18th Day Of Campaign
The smear campaign-swas-
tikaS and slogans abusing Jews
kept up sporadically in scat
tered sections of the world for
the 18th day. Police in all
countries affected kept UP their
hunt for the paintbrush
wielders and also sought to
determine whether there was
any undercover world organiza-
ton linking them.
Britain's acting Prime Minis
ter, Richard A. Butler, last
night dismissed the anti
Semitic outbreaks in England
and Scotland as the work OF
"a few irresponsible persons"
The russians agreed. A top
commentator on Moscow radio
said the anti-Semitic outbursts
in the United States and Britain
are about as dangerous as a
slight cold to a healthy per-
son."
Cancer to West Germany"
But what is just a slight cold
to Britain and the U. S. A. is a
bad case of cancer to West Ger
many" declared Nikolai An
dreyev in an English-language
broadcast.
Some Jewish leaders have de-
clared that the outbreak
smacked of a revival of naZism
