STOCKHOLM—An armed Nazi
anti-Semitic sabotage and spy
group was uncovered Tuesday by
Stockholm police, who arrested
five leaders, including Bjoern Lun-
dahl, Sweden's top Nazi. Two arms
caches also were found.
Police said that Lundahl alleg-
edly spied for the Egyptian em-
bassy here, submitting information
on the Israel embassy and data
on staff lectures at the embassy,
as well as information on Zionist
activities, Jewish fund-raising,
migration and emigration. The
Nazi also allegedly provided bi-
ographies of Jewish and non-
Jewish Zionists in Sweden.
The police said they had found
a list of 100 members of the Nazi
group and said they anticipated
further arrests. The leaders face
six to ten years' imprisonment if
they are convicted.
The Swedish cabinet discussed
the matter Tuesday. The gang
operated under cover of the notor-
ious Nazi Foundation Central Li-

recorder. But he put it back to-

Zvi, 16, was Israel's representa-
tive to the International Science
Fair in St. Louis May 5-8. He was
in Detroit to visit his aunts and
uncles, the Abraham- Metzgers and
the Max Kleins.
The mechanism of a tape record-
er could not long remain a mystery
to Zvi. For his entry in the fair,
he designed and built a digital
electronic computer, an electronic
adding and subtracting machine
with a capacity of two digits.
What that means is, the machine
does the thinking for'you if you
must add 15 oranges and 15 pine-
apples. If that sounds like fruit
salad„ it is a very expensive dish:
Zvi spent 1,200 hours to build it
and $167 (500 Israeli pounds) for
the materials.
Zvi was admittedly envious of
the many science materials avail-
able to students in the United
States. "Here," he said "you have
everything cheaper than we do,
and schools provide the students
with what they need for proj-
ects." Although Zvi studies Eng-

He pressed his demand that Nazi
victims who could not escape from
Iron Curtain countries prior to
October 1953, be given restitution
equal to the compensation paid to
all other Nazi victims.
An amendment to the restitu-

cants, but Dr. Goldmann is in-

Dr. Goldmann said Wednesday
that improvements in West Ger-
man indemnification laws were
an urgent matter which should
be approved at the current ses-
sion of the West German parli-
nient.
To achieve this, he told the Jew-
ish Tel e gr ahpic Agency, the
amendment would have to be ap-
proved this month by the govern-
ment, in the Bundestag, the lower
house, and at the beginning of
June by the Bundesrat, the upper
chamber.
He said he had not been able
to persuade West German officials
to remove the deadline for filing
of individual claims.
It was indicated that Finance
Minister Rolf Dahlgruen is re-
luctant to increase the amount. Dr.
Goldmann said a decision would be
made by the government and that
he believed Chancellor Ludwig .
Erhard was a man of good will and
that an agreement would be
reached.
Press Chief Gunther von Rase
had announced after Dr. Gold-
mann's talks with the chancellor,
that the chancellor had made no
promises to Dr. Goldmann about
indemnification. Dr. Goldmann
confirmed that statement, but he
added that this did not mean that
the government would do nothing.
Dr. Goldmann said the necessary
proposals would have to be put to
the government and that the latter
would then have to approve.
Meanwhile, in Montreal, Bonn's
ambassador Dr. Kurt Oppler was
presented with an appeal by the
Canadian Jewish Congress to urge
amendment of the restitution laws.
It was pointed out that in Canada
there are many potential compen-
sation applicants who could not
escape from Iron Curtain countries
prior to Oct. 1, 1953.
