Office, and expressed concern over
the possibility of a • visit by von
Thadden to this country.
The delegation pointed out the
"extreme right-wing policies of the
NPD" and requested that the gov-
ernment give due consideration to
the implications of permitting von
Thadden to enter Britain to act as
spokesman for the NPD's program.
Ennals assured the delegation
that "fullest consideration has been
given and will continue to be
given" to any proposed von Thad-

would conside rcarefully von Thad-

the source of any invitation extend-

and the country's possible reaction
to such a visit.
Although the invitations for lec-
tures by von Thadden in England
had thus far been issued only by
student groups at Oxford — albeit
the bids had to be canceled—there
was no certainly that some other
British group might not seek to
have him appear on some platform
or other.

First Oxford., Now New York'

NEW YORK (JTA)—A leader of
Germany's major neo-Nazi party,
who was slated to hold a press
conference here Tuesday, was de-
nied the use of a hall in the Hotel
Commodore here because the
management feared the effect of a
possible picket line.
Adolph von Thadden. _ deputy
chairman of the West German Na-
tional Democratic Party. was also
unable to reserve the Overseas
Press Club for a news conference
"because of prior bookings."
Both the hotel and the club said
Monday that efforts to set up a
news conference for von Thadden
had been made by Kurt Ehm, of
Hopatcong. N.J.; who had termed
himself as "a correspondent for
West German newspapers."
"Elm is not known to any of
the West German information
centers in New York or at the
United Nations. A United Na-
tions accreditation officer said
Monday the man does not hold
full-time UN press accredita-
tion, "although he may have
been here on a temporary basis."
Several of the sources checked
said they had information to the
effect that he was a correspond-
ent for or contributor to the Deut-
sche National and Soldatenzeitung,
a West German newspaper fre-
quently labeled by Bonn officials
as pro-Nazi, and to the official or-
gan of the NPD, published at Han-
over, West Germany.
Dr. Max Nussbaum, chairman of
the American section of the World
Jewish Congress, who recently re-
turned from a 10 day visit to West
Germany, said von Thadden had
attended a conference of Fascist
leaders in Venice in 1962, and had
signed a "proctor to create "a na-
tional European party."
Commenting on von Thadden's
political affiliation, Dr. Nussbaum
said the party shuns outright at-
tacks on German Jews because to-
day this would not give the party
"a nice image," but it calls for
attacks on Israel, instead. The
party also urges, Dr. Nussbaum
said, an end to the war crimes
trials and an end to compensation
and reparation payments to Hitler's
victims.
The NPD, Dr. Nussbaum add-
ed,- had evoked "deep concern
but not undue worry" by its re-
cent electoral successes. He ex-
pressed "astonishment," how-
ever, over the views of Cardinal
Frings of Cologne, who attributed
the rise of Hitlerism to a dispro-
portionate number of Jews in
business, education, the arts and
"every area of German life."

Plans for a Rainy Day

JERUSALEM (ZINS) — Agricul-
tural Minister Chaim Gavati, an-
nounced the approval by the gov-
ernment of a plan for the forma-
tion and seething of synthetic rain
clouds. The amount of 800,000 Is-
raeli pounds was set aside for this
purpose. Special technicians have
been trained for this type of work
and in the opinion of the Ministry
of Agriculture this will be an ap-

preciable contribution to the de-
velopment of the economy.

Bonn Says Budget Cut
Won't Void Payments
to Victims of Nazism

BONN, (JTA) — A West German
Finance Ministry spokesman told
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Sunday that a stabilization pro-
gram adopted to deal with a bud-
getary deficit would not affect
schedUled payments to victims of
Nazism.
The -stabilization program is
aimed at elimination of a deficit of
about 4,000,000,000 marks ($1,000,-
000,000). It required many cuts in
the West German federal budget.
However, the spokesman said, no
cuts were made in budgetary allo-
cations for scheduled indemnifica-
tion payments, and that all such
payments would be made as
planned.
Meanwhile, it was reported in
Geneva that payments totaling
17,500,000 marks ($4,400,000)
have been made by West Ger-
many to 552 victims of Nazi
"medical. experiments" in occu-
pied Poland and Hungary. Many
of the victims were Jewish con-
centration camp inmates.
Payments are made through the
International Committee of the Red
CrO8s, which set up in 1961 a com-
mission of neutral experts to ex-
amine claims of such victims. The
figures were disclosed at the latest
meeting of the commission here.
