Germany Refuses to Waive Visa
Requirements by Israel Citizens

Although
BONN (JTA)
West Germany now admits visi-
tors from many countries with-
out prior-issuance of a visa, she
is not willing to relax visa re-
quirements for Israeli nationals,
Federal Minister of the Interior
Dr. Gerhard Schroeder has in-
formed the Social Democratic
Opposition.
Ii sponsoring a Social Demo-
cratic motion to abolish the need
for entry visas in the - case of
I s r a e l i visitors, • Bundestag
deputy Dr. Karl Mommer ar-
gued that "we have moral ob-
ligations toward the citizens of
Israel that should prompt us to
handle this matter as liberally
as possible." He pointed out that
the moral benefit gained by
unilateral abrogation of the
mandatory visa requirements
would outweigh any disadvan-
tage through the possible influx
of undesirable elements.

Exploit Loopholes
in German Laws

BONN (JTA) — The presi-
dent of the Bundestag, the lower
house of the West German legis-
lature, has charged that neo-
Nazis and former Nazi leaders
are exploiting loopholes in Ger-
man laws to sue for "damages"
resulting from denazification
proceedings and were attempt-
ing to revive Nazi ways.
The denunciation of neo-Nazis
and former big-shots by Dr.
Eugen. Gerstenmaier, a promi-
nent Protestant layman and
leading figure in the Adenauer
Christian Democratic U n i o n,
was first carried in a radio
broadcast. He . had his speech
published in the Government
Information Bulletin Feb. 28.
Earlier; he conferred with lead-
ers of all parties on means of
preventing "professional Nazis"
from infiltrating the govern-
ment apparatus and from tying
up the government with suits
for "damages."
Dr. Gerstenmaier, however,
said he saw no reason to fear
a significant neo-Nazi revival
in the near future. He de-
nounced such evidences of neo-
Nazism .as the singing of Nazi
marching songs at a recent get-
together of Wehrmacht vet-
erans, the acquittal of Nazi war
criminals in several recent
trials and an upswing in
threatening letters by former
Nazi and Gestapo members.

In his reply, the Minister of
the Interior recalled that a con-
siderable number, of "illegal
returnees" from Israel had cbme
to Germany, mainly in 1953,
with 800 of them falling back
upon German public welfare as-
sistance in Foehrenwald Camp
al'bne.
Although Israel had declared
its willingness in principle to
take back any of its citizens
expelled from Germany, tech-
nical transportation difficulties
had made it impossible, with
one single exception, to deport
to Israel the "illegals" against
who expulsion orders had been
issued and who were not pre-
pared to leave Germany volun-
tarily.
Therefore, the Minister ar-
gued, the unilateral abrogation
of visa requirements would
saddle German public welfare
agencies with heavy costs "and
probably would not correspond
to the interests of the State of
Israel."
Minister S c h r o e d e r, who
stressed repeatedly that these
"illegals" had not "formerly
lived in Germany," failed to
mention that almost all of them
had been in German concentra-
tion or DP camps. At the same
time, however, he made it clear
that Israeli nationals who had
been residents of V Germany
prior to the Nazi era would en-
counter no difficulty in securing
tourist or transit visas.

Protest Changes Hiring .
Policy of Toronto Police

TORONTO, (JTA) — When
the Central Region of the Ca-
nadian Jewish Congress learned
that the police department here
required new recruits to be "of
British parentage," they filed a
complaint with the Fair. Em-
ployment Practices Branch of
the Ontario government.
After investigating and dis-
cussing the matter with the po-
lice, the FEPC unit informed
the Canadian Jewish Congress
that the requirement had been
withdrawn and the only quali-
fication for police recruits now
was that they be "British sub-
jects," as required by law.
