BONN, (JTA) — The West
German Minister of Justice, Dr.
Wolfgang Stammberger, has sub-
mitted his resignation to Chan-
cellor Konrad Adenauer because
of the former's responsibility in
the appointment of Wolfgang
Fraenkel. Dr. Stammberger's
resignation, however, was not
accepted by the Cabinet.
A special Cabinet committee,
meanwhile, has been established
by the West German Government
to investigate East German
charges about the alleged past of
judges, prosecutors and police
officials now serving in the Fed-
eral Republic. The formation of
the committee was the result of
repercussions following the "corn-

by the East German authorities
to send officials to East Berlin
to check on documents that the
Communists said prove the Nazi
past of West German officials.
The committee is expected to
submit its first report in the near

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Israel High Court of Justice re-
jected a request for an order nisi
calling on Moshe Haim Shapiro,
the Minister of the Interior, to
show cause why he should not
rescind an order, expelling from
Israel, Berl Farkas, a Jew wanted
by Interpol, the international
police organization.
Farkas, who is sought by
Interpol and police forces of half
a dozen countries around the
world Or theft and swin dles,
stowed away on an Israeli liner
in Marseilles, France, and ar-
rived in Haifa on July 15. He
immediately claimed immigrant
status under the Law of Return.
He will presumably he deported
on the first ship leaving for
France.

BONN, (JTA) — Disciplinary
proceedings were started yester-
day by the West German Justice
Ministry against Wolfgang Fraen-
kel, who was retired as Federal
Chief Prosecutor after disclosure
of participation in Nazi court
judgments. He will stand admin-
istrative trial for hiding his past
Nazi activities.
A Justice Ministry spokesman
said the proceedings could cause ,
Fraenkel the loss of his pension
rights. He is drawing the equiva-
lent of about $450 a month. His
"compulsory retirement" fol-
lowed presentation by East Ger-
man Communist officials of docu-
mentary evidence against him.
The Chief Public Prosecutor of
East Germany sent additional
material this weekend on other
former Nazi judges and prosecu-
tors now holding posts in the
West German judiciary. He also
implied that Fraenkel's Nazi rec-

countries which, to this very day,
have to grapple with the prob-
lem of neo-Nazism, racial hatred
and anti-Semitism."
"From our experience," they
stated, "we know that the acti-

Party in Britain come as a shock
to people abroad, not only dam-
aging the reputation of this
country but, first and foremost,
giving aid to Nazi groups in
countries where they represent
a mere 'lunatic fringe' or a negli-

An effort to enact legislation
curbing fascist activities here,
the WJC leaders declare d,
"would pay substantial dividends
to Britain's reputation abroad."

"The refusal of the Ben-

Rabbi Hill suggested "that

rutherless outrages which are
