Swedish Nazi Ringleader Is Charged by Prosecutor With High Treason STOCKHOLM (JTA) — Bjorn Lundahl, leader of the Swedish Nazis arrested last week after po- lice discovered a cache of weapons at their headquarters and a list of Swedish Jewish leaders marked for assassination, was charged by Sweden's chief prosecutor Monday with high treason. The prosecutor requested that Lundahl and six other alleged Nazis arrested with him be held without bail pending a police search for further evidence against the men. A Stockholm policeman was sus- pended Tuesday on charges he was connected with the organization. All have denied they had had any contacts with the Egyptian embassy here. They had allegedly planned for anti-Israeli espionage and for help to be given by Swedish Nazis to an Egyptian attack against Israel. The prosecution also announced it had uncovered a possible link be- tween Swedish Nazis and a plot to have a newspaper in Oslo, Nor- way, print pro-Nazi material. A statement expressing the governments' reaction to the Nazi group, "deploring". its ex- istence and terming the exist- ence of a Nazi ring as "Muniliat- ing to all Swedes" was issued bT Prime Minister Tage Erlander. Target of the death sentence was Bernard Tarschys, chairman of the European 'Parliament' Calls on Moscow to End Discrimination STRASBOURG (JTA) — The Council of Europe, which serves as an unofficial European parlia- ment of 21 countries, called during its regular session here on the Soviet government to accord equal religious, cultural and communal rights to the 3,000,000 Jews in Russia. The Council said in a resolution that "there is a European respon- sibility towards the Jewish peo- ple." The resolution was approved unanimously after having been proposed by the Council's political committee. It urged the. Soviet Union to "accord to the Jewish community the religious and cul- tural rights guaranteed to all reli- gious and ethnic groups by articles 123 and 124 of the constitution of the USSR." The 200 members of the Coun- cil, representing all the political parties in the 21 member nations, expressly mentioned the need "to permit Jews to open or reopen synagogues, publish and study Hebrew texts, distribute freely religious articles, organize as a religious community and main- tain contacts with Jewish com- munities abroad." The resolution also urged the Soviet authorities to permit the reestablishment of Jewish cultural institutions and appealed to them to "prevent anti - Semitic propa- ganda, whether in the form of books or pamphlets, and eliminate all judicial discrimination against Jews concerned in alleged eco- nomic crimes." The Council's Political Commit- tee stressed a paragraph in the resolution which calls for reunifi- cation of families. Canadian Budgets Set MONTREAL (JTA) — The 1965 budgets for the Canadian Jewish Congress and the United Jewish Relief Agencies were approved here Tuesday by the CJC national executive committee, providing $412,778.25 for the Congress and $2,250,000 for the UJRA. Stockholm Board of Jewish Depu- ties, who was "convicted" of "Zion- ism, treacherous double loyalty, subversive propaganda and anti- Swedish activities," police said. They found two caches of arms in the raid. The plans for murdering all Swedish Jews provided for injec- tions and burning of corpses on Stockholm refuse dumps. Other documents, including films and tape recordings indicated many years of systematic efforts at anti- Semitic indoctrination of Swedes, especially of youth. It appeared that a Hitler Jugen group directed by the Swedish Nazis operated as a sports club and thus received municipal subsidies. The Israel embassy has received anonymous anti-Semitic letters in recent years, apparently from the Swedish Nazis. The Svenska Dag- bladet meanwhile reported that there had been systematic persecu- tion and physical maltreatment of Jewish students from 1960 to 1962. The Central Council of Swed- ish Jewish Communities express- ed its alarm over the discovery of the ring. The Council appeal- ed to the government to increase its vigilance against Nazism. Swedish newspapers published documents captured at the Nazi headquarters and transcripts of tape recordings showing that Lun- dahl had held at least 30 meetings with Kamel Hamed, former first secretary of the Egyptian embassy here. • During one of those meetings, it was disclosed, Hamed had re- quested that the Swedish Nazis send an anti-Zionist, Swedish stu- dent to Israel, where the student would join a kibbutz as a cover for espionage operations through which he would spy on Israel's defense forces. The tape recordings also indi- cated that, at one meeting with Hamed, Lundahl told the Egyptian that 200 armed men could seize Stockholm. Another document was a signed pledge by Lundahl, appar- ently in reply to a question from the Egyptians, in which the Nazi promised to "help Egypt with a Swedish army of 5,000 infantry, c o m p l e t e l y equipped, against Israel." $600 Million in Bonds Sold in Past 10 Years NEW YORK (JTA)—Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, reporting on the pro- gram of the Israel Bond Organiza- tion during the 10 years he has been executive vice-president, said that in that 10-year period be- tween May 16, 1955, through May 15, 1965, a total of some $600,000,- 000 in Israel Bonds was sold in the United States and other parts of the free world. He told a press conference also that during 1955, a total of $43,- 507,150 was sold in Israel Bonds. Last year, proceeds from the Israel Bond campaign amounted to $85,- 280,350 or almost twice the figure of 10 years ago, he said. He also reported that total sales since the inception of the program in May, 1951, was $775,000,000. He - emphasized that in recent years the Israel Bond campaign had broken new ground in tapping sources outside the framework of t h e J e wish community. Labor unions, almost all of them with largely non - Jewish membership, have been buying Israel Bonds in substantial amounts, he reported. "Hundreds of banks have also bought millions of dollars worth of Israel Bonds. In 1964, alone, more than $12,000,000 in Israel Bonds were sold to banks." 40th Jubilee Concert "After seizing power in Sweden," Lundahl had said, "we will confis- cate Jewish property, arrest all enemies of the Egyptians, prohibit Jewish emigration to Israel and solve the Jewish problem with Egyptian assistance." A number of members of parlia- ment asked the minister of the in- terior last weekend whether the government would act with dis- patch to trace and halt further anti-democratic activities in this country. The Swedish press, as a whole, pointed out that Swedish young people were shockingly lacking in knowledge and understanding of the meaning of Nazism as a threat not only to Jews but to democracy in general.

The experts said that such funds were impossible to raise from members and were obtained from anonymous industrialists. Chief Rabbi Kurt Wilhelm suf- fered a heart attack, reportedly caused by the disclosure of the Nazi gang's operations, but his condition was reported as not serious. The Nazis have repeated- ly accused Rabbi Wilhelm of anti- Christian activities. In another development, the Nordic National Party and some anonymous extremist groups sent threatening letters to inhabitants of Goteburg. One target of the let- ters was Dr. Elmar Herterich, who recently fled from Germany after waging a one-man campaign to ex- pose former Nazis now holding political and judicial office in West Germany. It was reported here also that Finnish security police were in- vestigating reports of Nazi propa- ganda circulating in Finland. They reportedly did not find any evi- dence of organized Nazi activities, but did find foreign Nazi propa- ganda_ The Helsinki newspaper Ilta Sanomat interviewed an al- leged leader of Finnish Nazis, a 22-year-old student who said he had done his best to form a Nazi group but that Finland was "back- ward." Another Finnish newspa- per demanded an investigation of possible links between the Swedish Nazi League and Finland. * * * filo yollf Travellget DELTAS FLORIDA newl9 65 Dream Vacation Planner DREAM VACATIONS DELTA 1965 THE BAHAMAS & CARIBBEAN Nazi Songs May Mean Expulsion for Students at Stockholm U.
