BONN, (JTA)—The bill initi-
ated by the West German Cabi-
net to make anti-Semitism a
criminal offense passed its first
reading in the West German
lower house, the Bundestag, af-
ter a brief debate.
All parties, with the excep-
tion of the right-wing Deutches
Partie, announced their support
of the measure, in view of the
resurgence of anti-Semitic inci-
dents in West Germany in re-
cent months. The Deutches Par-
tie argued that special legisla-
tion might have consequences
which later might not be con-
trollable.
The bill, a revision of the
West German penal code, sets
a maximum punishment of three
months' imprisonment, but no
maximum, for persons convicted
of stirring up hate against
groups because of their national,
racial ethnic origin. The bill also
provides fines in addition.
The measure will go to the
legal committee, then back to
the Bundestag for a second
reading. The measure was pass-
ed by the upper house, the Bun-
desrat, in February.
Charge Hess Officials
Blocking Payments;
Claim. Only Half Paid
WIESBADEN, (JTA) — High
officials of the Hess State
Indemnification Office, and of
the local office in this German
city, have been charged with
obstructing payments to victims
of Nazism by "super-bureau-
cratic" practices operated along
lines of "Prussian exactness."
Figures revealed here by the
Hessian Ministry of the Interior
show that the • Wiesbaden in-
demnification office paid in the
last year less than half of the
sums appropriated for indemni-
fication.
Of $93,000,000 marks allo-
cated, only 45,000,000 have been
paid. The figures also show
legal costs for indemnification
in the last year amounted to
350,000 marks-50,000 marks
above the legal costs antici-
pated.
Federal government officials
in Bonn have criticized the in-
demnification officials. They de-
clared that the figures prove
"the animosity against indemni-
fication supported by certain
influential officials in the Wies-
baden office, under the cloak
of formal legalism."
Israel Exports Increase
in First Quarter of '59
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Israeli
exports are reported increasing
in dollar volume. Figures an-
nounced show that, during the
first quarter of 1959, January-
March inclusive, exports totaled
a value of $62,000,000, compared
with $59,300,000 for the same
period a year ago.
The oil refineries here, taken
over by Israel from British
owners Feb. 1, have increased
production by ten percent in
the last year, the figures dis-
closed. Of a total of 860 em-
ployes at the refineries, 100 are
Arabs.
