Bundestag Aide and Envoy to Britain
Are Linked to Nazi Operations in War
BONN (JTA)—Dr. Eugen Ger-
stenmaier, president of the Bunde-
stag, the lower House of Parlia-
ment, Monday rejected charges of
the Organization of Persecuted
Nazi Victims, an alleged Com-
munist group, that Bundestag
Director Hans Trossman ever
worked with the Nazi authorities
as an administrator in the Lodz
ghetto.
"The Bundestag will not permit
certain political circles to main-
tain a defamation campaign
against personalities with the sole
purpose of undermining the free
part of Germany and to smear it
before the world," Dr. Gersten-
said.
Trossman confirmed the fact
(---\---rnat he worked as a government
Counselor from the end of 1940
until 1943, and later as top gov-
ernment counselor for the admin-
istration d e p a r t m e n t, which
checked prices in Lodz. In that
connection, he said, he also had
Something to do with administra-
tion of the ghetto, but "never put
a foot inside the ghetto."
In London, Herbert Blanken-
horn, newly appointed West
German ambassador to Britain,
arrived here Monday to take up
his post and refused to discuss
an allegation that he had been
a "nominal" member of the Nazi
Party during the Hitler regime.
"There is no need," he said, "for
me to give any explanation about
my background. Anyone who has
lived in Germany during the last
20 years knows exactly what I had
been and what I had done."
Tom Driberg, a Labor member
of Parliament, made the Nazi mem-
bership charge against Blanken-
horn last week, stating that the
German was "persona non grata
because of his Nazi past."
A member of the German diplo-
matic corps during the Hitler era,
Blankenhorn had been screened
after the war by the British occu-
pation authorities in Germany. He
was said to have been one of the
nominally pro-Hitler Germans who
had plotted the unsuccessful at-
tempt to assassinate Hitler.

Last year this man had very little hope—and even
less comfort. Today he is a happy man—living with
350 "friends" at the Givat Hashlosha Home in Israel.
His time and happiness are his own, thanks to the
Allied Jewish Campaign, Often a pledge card means
very little—it's only paper. An old man living in
dignity and a happy child mean a great deal more.
