resolution condemning both West
Germany and East Germany for
"failure to root out the rem-
nants of Naziism," was adopted
at the concluding session of the
62nd anual convention of the
Workmen's Circle.
While condemning both na-

pointed out that. in Communist
East Germany. there has been no
denazification program. and that
"former Hitler lieutenants" hold
high office in East Germany
where "Communist authorities
have no trouble in reaching ac-

The Workmen's Circle was
lauded at the final session by
Benjamin Sti•kney. an official
