He went on to give his account of
why the flag was rated - once in
the world."
Here are the exact excerpts of
his letter that Brendel Walters per-
mitted us exclusively to view:
In 1952 during pull down of a
house in the world known town
of Bad Kissingen in Germany the
flag was found immured in a
wall, put in a iron-box .
suppose this flag is originated
with embroidery by hand in the
early beginning of the year 1923.
Later on, toward the end of 1923
the nazi party were prohibited in
Germany. Flags had to be se-
questrated by police and de-
stroyed by burn. In the reign of
Hitler this flag was made a sym-
bol."
The writer went on to state that
in the trade such original flags,
belonging to the first days of the
Nazi party, are seldom obtainable.
Thus, his minimum offer of $ 9 ,000.
A spokesman for the Bnai Brith
told this writer that the price was
way out of line.
Many an American G.T. turned
up Nazi Flags all over Germany.
Who can tell if it is really an orig-
inal? Even so, to whom indeed
would a Nazi Flag be worth that
amount?
To Joseph Rosensaft, president
of the Survivors of Bergen Belsen,
who resides in New York. no Nazi
Flag can be viewed in terms of
dollars and cents. To our question:
"What is its worth?" he answered
after a long silent pause:
"It claimed the highest stake
humanity could pay: In the mil-
lions . . . It's worth nothing in the
market today we fervently hope."
Brendel Walters states that he
does not intend to bid for the flag.
But, he intimated, "At this point I
am more interested in who the
buyer will be rather than its sell-
ing price. And why the interest in
this antique of dubious value? -
An air of mystery was contained
in the "P.S." of the original letter
to Walters: "For Your Informa-
tion: Your letter were opened be-
fore I received it

Jews in S. Africa Assured
of Official's Good Will

JOHANNESBURG (JTA) -Jews
could be very proud of the role
they had played in the upbuilding
of South Africa, Blaar Coetzee,
deputy minister of Bantu affairs
and education, told a large gath-
ering of Bnai Brith members here.
"In commerce, industry and the
professions, in the sciences, the
arts and in public life, they have
made a contribution which is wide-
ly appreciated," he declared.
As an Afrikaner, said Coetzee.
he had always had a deep respect
for the Jewish community.
"I grew up in a very religious
home, and my father taught us
that the Jews were God's chosen
people. I have fought anti-Semit-
ism when it reared its ugly head
here. If ever anti-Semitism should
stick its head out in the National
Party, I would fight it there. too.
In the 12 years that I have been
a member of the National Party,
I've certainly seen no evidence of
anti-Semitism there."
It was a matter for gratifica-
tion, said Coetzee, that South
Africa was in general free from
the poison of anti-Semitism. "Of
course," he added, "we have our
lunatic fringe-but which country
hasn't?"
South Africa, he continued. is
going through difficult days, when
its name was "unfairly blackened
abroad, and power groups com-
bined against it at the United Na-
tions. Even Israel votes against
us at the UN. I'm not blaming
them. I know their difficulties
and can understand their vote."
The South African Jewish com-
munity, however, has always dem-
onstrated its loyalty to South Af-
rica, he added. As citizens of the
country, they were in the best
position to appreciate policies
which were traditional in South
Africa" and which were directed
at the "advancement of all sections
of the population-black as well as
white," he said.
