Ex-Nazi Collaborator Kleiman's Book
Turns Up as Witness
to Have Excerpts
in Iraq Courtroom
LONDON, WJA — Among
principal witnesses in the trial
of Muhammad Rafiq . Arif, for-
mer Iraqi Chief of Staff, is
Yunis al-Bahri, radio commen-
tator and Arabic broadcaster
from Berlin radio during the
Nazi regime, reports the World
Jewish Congress information
department.
"
•
According to Baghdad • radio,
Arif is accused by the Baghdad
Supreme Military Court of at-
tempting to influence the at-
titude of Jordan "by trying to
exploit Israel's threat to Jor-
dan in order to impose a mili-
tary pact on Jordan in the form
of a joint Iraqi-Jordanian com-
mand under an Iraqi officer."
The witness, Yunis al-Bahri,
a former Nazi broadcaster, was
the first to go on the air with a
"Hail the Arabs" when a new
`Broadcasting Station of the
Arabs' was inaugurated from
Amman in Jordan in Jan. 1956.
He declared that he had re-
turned to Amman "after ten
years of silence since the days
of Berlin" to tell his listeners:
"Hail the Arabs, hail, on to
vengeance. And hail, on to
unity."
The new broadcasting station
was dedicated "to the service •of
the Arab causes and to the re-
covery of the pulsating heart
of Arabdom, occupied Pales-
tine, from the criminal Jews."
It would fight white as well as
red imperialism. "It also fights
the imperialism of Arab rulers
and tyrants."
In later broadcasts from Am-
man, al-Bahri said the mere
mention of the word Israel was
"an insult to the dignity of
Palestine and the Arabs." The
"criminal Jews have devilish
ways and practice premeditated
treachery. How long will the
Arabs remain so disunited and
dejected?"

sisting of German and Western
judges under the chairmanship
'of a Swedish judge, ruled that
pensions seized by the Nazi
regime from Jewish executives
in private industry must be
returned by the West German
government.

by Mrs. Clara Birnholz of Put-
nam Valley, New York, who
claimed pension benefits due
her late husband, Dr. James
Birnholz who retired in 1932
as an executive of Allgemeine
Elektricitaets Gesellschaft, a
leading German electrical
equipment firm.
His pension was halted when
he fled Germany in 1939 and in
1942 the firm was ordered ' to
pay the Nazi government the
capitalized value of his pen-
sion.
The Supreme Restitution
Court ruled that Mrs. Birn-
holz was entitled to pension
payments worth approximately
$4,900 plus 25 per cent in-
terest on claims for five and
one-quarter • years from 1940
on. The private firm had re-
sumed payments in 1950 until
Dr. Birnholz' death in 1956.
The widow made no claim on
the company.
The ruling said that the corn-
pany was obligated to continue pressing the claim for 18 years.

she and her husband had been court's decision.
