Trouble Looms in Bundestag for Supporters of Limitations Abolishment BONN (JTA) — The prospect arose that the West German gov- ernment may not get the required majority vote in the Bundestag (lower house) to abolish the statute of limitations on prosecution of Nazi war criminals and other mur- derers. The measure has many oppon- ents, including the Christian So- cialist Union (CSU), the Bavarian sister party of Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger's Christian Demo- cratic Union (CDU). The CSU's leader Franz Josef Strauss said he would vote against abolition. Wolfgang Mischnick, vice chair- man of the liberal Free Democra- tic Party, and its parliamentary leader, declared that his party also will oppose abolition and try to bring the statute into effect on Dec. 31 as scheduled. The chancel- lor hopes to work within his party for support for the government's THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, May 2, 1969-13 maw Ali OPEN ALL YEAR I 14 . W I I SO. Fellsbure.

Observers here said it seemed doutbful that he could rally the necessary backing. The cabinet's decision to drop the statute of limitations that deals with murder and genocide was taken last week when Chan- cellor Kiesinger's conservative forces capitulated to the demand of Social Democratic Justice Minister Horst Ehmke that there be no modification of the bill to codify certain circumstances under which an accused Nazi could be excused for having been forced or ordered to commit his punishable acts. Guenter Diel, the chief govern- ment spokesman, said that the cabinet had decided that "codifica- tion would have resulted in serious legal problems . . . important groups of criminals would escape." The Christian Democrats and Christian Social Union had pressed hard for the "codification" guide- lines, presumably to establish a standard distinguishing between deliberate Nazi criminals and those who were "victims" of the system and were acting under orders. Ehmke declared that 10,000 cases of Nazi criminals were currently under investigation and that there are 16,000 to 18,000 accused who would face trial. It would be un- just, he said, for those caught be- fore the end of 1969 to be punished while those caught afterward would not stand trial. He noted that the Bonn government could not subscribe to a United Nations con- vention on the non-applicability of statutory limitations on war crimes and crimes against humanity which would punish those whose crimes had already been deemed by law not punishable. Adherence to the convention would be contrary to the constitution, he said. `Education Palace' Built by Buenos Aires Jews R ESERVATIONS DIAL DIRECT FREE FROM ANYWHERE 800-431-9030 Mom ems BUENOS AIRES (JTA) — The Jewish community of Buenos Aires has dedicated a million-dollar, 10- story "Education Palace" which will house all Jewish educational facilities from high school to teachers' seminaries.

(Until the nature of the bill is known, the decision must be treat- ed as no more than an expression of Germany's realization that those crimes cannot at any time remain unpunished, Dr. Goldmann said. Dr. Goldmann, as president of the World Jewish Congress, was in- strumental in negotiating with West German leaders on the ques- tion of the statute.) In a related development, the German trade union movement ex- pressed "great concern and disap- pointment" that the government had "not found it necessary to request a ban on the National Democratic Party" despite Interior Minister Ernst Benda's assertion that he had adequate evidence to justify a ban. Benda contends that he can prove the right-wing NPD, seen by many as neo-Nazi, is anti- democratic and unconstitutional. The movement said the German worker would not understand how a party which pursued non- democratic policies and a num- ber of whose members had sup- ported the Nazi regime could be permitted to function. The union- ists saw the decision as having possible worldwide repercussions. A West German government spokesman said the cabinet's de- cision not to take measures to out- law the NPD was motivated by the proximity of the national election. Election to the Bundestag, West Germany's lower house, will take place Sept. 28. Conrad Ahlers said that the government had ma- terial evidence to prove the NPD anti-democratic under German law but preferred to wait until after the elections at which time it may reconsider and take action. The government said previously it wanted to leave the future of the party to the nation's voters. Meanwhile, the NPD has made "victory" statements and has at- tacked Benda and West Berlin Mayor Klaus Schutz, who has re- newed his demand that the three Allied powers in West Berlin out- law the NPD chapter there because of the sensitive position of the city, which is deep in East Ger- many.
