Courts to Allow Suit for Slurs on Kinsmen KARLSRUHE (JTA) — The West German constitutional court here has ruled that any German Jew or Jewish or- ganization may bring suit against a person who slanders the Jewish people as a group or uses the word "Jew" in a derogatory fashion. The court ruling came in the case of a German who insulted the Jews as a people in a mes- sage on a postcard. He was prosecuted by the state of Hesse and the Association of Jewish Communities of Hesse and was convicted. On appeal, however, an intermediate court held he had not insulted the Jewish people as a whole, but subsequent legal steps led to the latest ruling. The highest court in Ger- many said that "those human beings who were persecuted by National Socialism and now live in Germany form an un- equivocally determinable group that is susceptible to insults."

Ask Police to Curb British Anti-Semites LONDON—(JTA)—A propo- sal for the widening of a Metro- politan police bill to cover writing of abusive slogans on public walls was made by Bar- nett Janner, M.P. and British Jewish communal leader. The bill would increase the maximum penalties for threat- ening, abusive or insulting words or behavior in public places. Janner, who called such slo- gan-writing "one of the most cowardly and vicious things that can possibly be done," said that recently the walls of Buck- ingham Palace "were actually used for swastikas and anti- Semitic word scribblings." David Benton, Joint Parlia- mentary Under Secretary of State for the Home Office, re- plied that since "slogans are generally either threatening, abusive or insulting," such ac- tivities would be covered in the current bill. Manager WASHINGTON (JTA) — Chairman Theodore F. Green of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee urged that the Ad- ministration adopt a friendlier attitude toward the United Arab Republic and try to "get along" with President Nasser. He suggested that the United States provide economic aid to the UAR to replace assis- tance furnished by the Soviet bloc. Speaking before the .11th an- nual conference of the Associa- tion of International Relations Clubs, Sen. Green said Col. Nasser may be responsive to friendly overtures from America.

JOHANNESBURG, (JTA) — Ten Jews are candidates for Parliament in the national elec- tions to be held Wednesday in the Union of South Africa. Seven are members of the United Party, while one can- didate has been selected by the Liberals, Labor ticket and South African Bond Party, a new Moderate conservative group. Still another Jew, Abe Blum- berg, a former MP from Cape- town, was among the candidates for four seats representing the colored population of the Cape in an election last week. Results are delayed because of Easter. While two Jewish members of the National Party have ap- pealed for votes on the ground that the goernment, headed by Prime Minister Strijdom, has "treated the Jews fairly," there is generally conceded to be no general communal attitude to- ward the election. On the matter of the Apar- theid question (segregation of the colored people), there are many divergent opinions among Jews as there are among the country. Advice reaching here from abroad urges the country's 110,000 Jews to "take a stand against Apartheid." However, this is viewed here as reflecting ignorance regarding basic con- ditions and attitudes in the country. The Union has 3,000,- 000 whites, and 12,000,000 non- whites.
