Prosperity, Not Past, Concerns Germans, Prinz Complains NEW YORK (JTA)—Dr. Joachim Prinz, chairman of the Conference of Major American Jewish Organi- zations and president of the Ameri- can Jewish Congress, said that West Germany possessed the basic institutions of democracy but that too few Germans were concerned with making democracy work. Dr. Prinz, who just returned from a visit to West Germany, told a news conference: "There are hopeful signs of prog- ress in West Germany—a free and liberal press, TV and radio, courageous and determined gov- ernment officials and young peo- ple with a deep commitment to freedom. "At the same time, the typical German appears more interested in enjoying prosperity than in seeking his country's moral re- birth; more concerned with sweeping the Nazi era under the rug than with confronting the meaning of Ilitlerisra, more eager to forget the past than to make sure it will not happen again." He expressed "satisfaction" at the decision of Chancellor Ludwig Erhard to seek full diplomatic re- •lotions with Israel. However, he voiced - "sharp disappointment" with the action of the West Ger- man Parliament last month in ex- tending the effective date of the statute of limitations on Nazi mur- ders for only 4 1/2 years. "Even this brief extension was grudgingly granted," Dr. Prinz said, "more because of pressure from abroad than from any deep- seated desire among the German people to mete out full justice to Nazi criminals." DT. Prinz was critical of the policy of the U.S. Document Cen- ter in Alexandria, Va., in refusing access to its files on Nazi criminals to sch•olarly and civic organiza- tions. He said such groups had had key roles in ferreting out Nazi criminals in hiding, and that it was •"inexpl•cable" that an official U.S. agency should hamper rather than assist the task of bringing Nazi criminals to justice. Dr. Prinz reiterated these charges Monday. He • cited as evi- dence of the authenticity of his • allegation the fact that representa- tives of the World Jewish Con- gress, AJC and students at the Free University of West Berlin were denied the opportunity to search those archives. Recently, he said, a number of American civic groups were rebuffed when they sought to verify through the ar- chives - information about a German cultural attache, stationed in this who was supected of hay- , country, • . mg been a Hitler Storm trooper during the Nazi period.
