As a result, it is believed a move undertaken months ago to lift Dr. Oberlaender's parlia- mentary immunity so that he may be prosecuted for atrocities will very likely be quashed when Parliament reconvenes. Dr. Oberlaender resigned from the Adenauer Cabinet last spring under fire of charges that he had been a member of the Nazi "Nightingale Battal- ion" held responsible for mass murder at Lwow in 1941. How- ever, he is still a member of the Bundestag, the lower house of the West German Parlia- ment. According to the CDU prob- ers, the murders at Lwow were committed in part by the re- treating Soviet Army and in part by Ukrainians who were then under the direction of Russia's present Premier, Nikita Khrushchev. After the Russian army re- treated under battering by Hit- ler's forces, murders were corn- mited in Lwow, the investigators report, by Nazi Secret Service- men whose "responsible leaders were found guilty by the Nur- emberg Military Tribunal and put to death."

The Jewish community on whole, stated the report, taken no collective attitud politically controversial "Jews exercising their rights as individual citize cording to their personal ions." One controversial issue which the committee has taken a stand concerns the educational field. Recently, the so - called "conscience clause" has been eliminated from application to the new university for non-whites. The clause protects the religious freedom 'of teachers and students in schools and universities. According to the committee, elimination of this clause "must occasion concern, because re- ligious freedom is indivisible."
