Sen. Griffin's Position on Fortas Brings Attacks; Nazi Party Swipes at Jurist
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Sen.
Robert P. Griffin, Michigan Re-
publican, who spearheading the
fight against confirmation of the
appointment • of Associate Justice
Abe Fortas as chief justice of the
United States, complained that he
was being subjected to heavy pres-
sure which, he hinted, had been
generated by the White House,
and was being accused of anti-
Semitism.
The Senator was quoted as hav-
ing told a meeting of the Republi-
can policy committee that there
were reports his opposition to the
Fortas appointment was due to
anti-Semitism. He denied it, and
all charges of anti-Semitism have
been refuted.

his appointment as chief justice
of the United States, Peter Lis-
agor, Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Daily News, reported.
Lisagor described the stand
taken by Bnai Brith International
President William Wexler support-
ing the Fortas appointment and
opposing the filibuster threatened
by Sen. Griffin. He quoted a Bnai
Brith official as stating that a
campaign like the one against
Justice Fortas, even under res-
pectable auspices, "brings the
bigots, out of the woodwork."

BONN (JTA)—The deputy chair-
man of the extreme right-wing
National Democratic Party,' who
has a Nazi record dating back to
the pre-World. War II era, resigned
from that post but not as a mem-
ber of the NPD's parliamentary
faction in the Baden-Wurttemburg
state legislature.
Wilhelm Gutmann, 67, gave ill
health as the grounds for his re-
signation, but it came just after
a clash with Erich Ganzenmueller,
head of the Christian Democratic
Party in Baden-Wurtemburg, who
refused to cooperate with the NPD
and denounced Gutmann for mis-
treatment of Jews 30 years ago,
for which he served a prison term
in 1947.
The clash occurred in the Baden-

In the recording, Matthias Koehl,
party commander, refers to For-
tas as a "despicable Jew" whose
past record "smells to high heav-
en." Koehl further accuses Fortas
of voting as a justice to bus mil-
lions of white school children to
Negro "blackboard jungles."
