MUNICH, (JTA) — The, Mu-
nich public prosecutor's office
issued a warrant for the arrest
of Karl Oberg, former SS com-
mander in occupied France who
was recently released ,by that
country after 18 years in prison
and turned over to West German
authorities.
Oberg was charged in the war-
rant with murder in connection
with the liquidation on June 30,
1934, of elements in the SS which
Hitler believed were forming an
opposition to his authority. It
• was indicated that it was doubt-
ful whether the warrant would
be carried out because of Oberg's
reported poor health. As SS com-
mander in France, Oberg was
largely responsible for the de-
portation of Jews to Eastern
Europe.
