Germans Arrest Former Bavarian Chief Rabbi; To Parole Murderer BONN, (JTA) — The sum of $60,000,000 is allocated for Israel reparations in the Federal budget for 1956-57 submitted by Finance Minister Fritz Schaeffer to the West German Parliament for ap- proval. The same amount was in- cluded in' the budget for the cur- rent year, but nearly three times as much as this year is asked for indemnification and restitution payments in the new budget, which would enter into effect next April. In spite of her unprecidented economic boom, West Germany is for the third time in succession taking advantage of an escape clause in the reparations pact permitting her, as a last resort, to hold payments for reparations deliveries to a rock-bottom mini- mum of $60,000,000 per year. The reparations agreement sets. $74,- 000,000 as the "normal" rate. With respect to indemnification and restitution, allocations have been substantially increased. Specifically, $95,200,000 is set aside for disbursements under the Federal Indemnification Law for individual victims of Nazism,. compared to $38,000,000 in this year and $16,000,000 in 1954-55. Since the law dealing with the restitution of identifiable Jewish property confiscated by the for- Mer German Reich is now about to be introduced in Parliament, after many years of procrastina- tion, $35,700,000 have been ear- marked for this purpose, as against only $7,000,000 in the current year. Pensions for nearly 2,200 for- mer German rabbis of communal officials are expected to cost $3,- 900,000, an increase of $1,000,000, For crippled victims of Nazi experiments, $50,000 will again be made available. A new item is the $400,000 provided for opera- tion of the International Tracing Service, which maintains the Arolsen concentration camp ar- chives. Ohrenstein Protests Arrest On Charge of Attempted Flight MUNICH, (PTA) — F or m e r Chief Rabbi of Bavaria, Dr. Aron Ohrenstein, was arrested here on charges of attempting to flee the country while under a one-year sentence for fraud. Rabbi Ohrenstein, who has been abroad any number of times since his original conviction in 1952 and two subsequent appeals to the German Supreme Court, had purchased a one-day round trip ticket to Zurich, where he was going on business. When seized by German c us toms Dr. v Rs • . n IF YOU TURN THE . UP SIDE DOWN YOU WON'T FIND A FINER WINE THAN agents, he protested that he car- ried nothing but a brief case with papers and about $50 in cash and that the German authorities ap- parently had no fears of his be- coming a fugitive since they had never revoked his passport. His imprisonment, in effect, means that he has begun to serve his one-year sentence despite new legal moves he initiated to upset the court ruling handed down at KarlSruhe. Nazi Who Killed 25,000 Jews Gets Mild Sentence BOCHUM, Germany, (JTA)- After finding the former com- mander of the Stutthof concen- tration camp, SS Lt. Col. Paul Werner Hoppe, guilty of having been "an accessory to murder in hundreds of cases," a German Court of Assizes here sentenced him to five years and three months at hard labor, with time spent in pre-trial custody to be deducted. An SS guard who served as "camp medical orderly" and was in charge of regulating the poi- son-gas flow to the Stutthof gas chamber, Otto Karl Knott, was sent to jail for three years and three months for having contrib- uted to the murder of "at least 50" inmates. In his case, too, the court ordered time spent in pre- trial custody to be deducted. He was pelinitted to return home after the verdict. Pending a de- cision on the appeal both are ex- pected to file. A third defendant, camp phy- sician Dr. Otto E. Heidi, commit- ted suicide the night after the first of the prosecution witnesses began to testify.

PARIS, (JTA)—Vandals broke into the offices of the Jewish Documentation Center here and destroyed important files and re- cords. They also smashed a type- writer with Hebrew characters —leaving untouched three type- writers with Roman characters— evidently to point up their anti- Semitic intent. The Center is sponsoring the erection here of the Tomb of the Unknown Jewish Martyr, com- memorating the memory of the 6,000,000 Jews annihilated by the Nazis. Recently, the organization also published a book exposing anti-Semitism rampant in France under the Vichy regime during World War II. The book had aroused considerable displeasure among French fascist elements.
