File Charges Against German Paper for Blood Libel Fraud
DUSSELDORF (JTA) — The
Central Council of Jews in
Germany, acting in behalf of
the Jewish community as a
whole, has filed libel charges
against a German scandal sheet
known as "8-Uhr Blatt," for
publication of a blood libel
fraud.
Last December, the sheet
published an account of a sup-
posed ritual murder which it
alleged had been committed by
Jews in 1929. One passage of
the account read: "According
to an old Jewish tradition,
Passover matzohs are only re-
ligiously effective if drenched
in Christian blood."
Helmut Klier, 25-year-old car-
penter, was arrested here on
suspicion he was the individual
who painted swastikas on the
portals of the Dusseldorf syna-
gogue last week, police an-
nounced. It was disclosed that
police action had been taken
against Klier several times on
charges of illegal Communist
activities.

measure will affect chiefly 850
Germans now living in Ger-
