THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS German Police Cancel Neo-Nazi Rally BONN (JTA) — Frankfurt police cancelled the permit granted earlier to the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party (NPD) to hold its convention that was scheduled to open there on June 16. A police spokes- man said the permit was re- voked for security reasons. The NPD planned to bring some 6,000 delegates to the convention but counter-demonstrations were announced by several anti-Nazi groups. Although not mentioned in the official announce- ment, the cancellation order followed a clash last week between a gang of 15-20 NPD youths and a Czechos- lovakian television team that had been given official permission to shoot a film at the NPD's youth training camp in Kamen. Czech TV correspondent Cyril Smolik, his wife and cameraman were beaten by the NPD gang and their cameras and film were de- stroyed. Police are inves- tigating but no arrests have been made. Iii a related develop- ment, a West German government agency banned from public dis- play eight books and re- cords on the grounds that they glorified the Nazi regime. West German law bans the display of Nazi symbols. Meanwhile, the West German Justice Ministry rejected charges that it was too easy on neo-Nazis and right-wing extremists who Labor Leader Koenig Dies Louis Koenig, a labor union leader who acted on behalf of waiters and wait- resses, died May 18 at age 91. Born in Austria, Mr. Koenig lived most of his life in Detroit. Previously, he worked in New York where he was a member of the New York Waiters Union, Local 1. He came to Detroit in 1916 and was a waiter at the Detroit Athletic Club. In 1921 he started his 40-year career as secretary- treasurer of Local 705 of the Detroit Hotel and Restau- rant Employees Union. Knesset Nixes Move to Debate Broadcast Issue JERUSALEM (JTA) — The coalition exercised its majority in the Knesset to defeat a Labor Alignment motion to debate the politicization of the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA). The vote was 45-35. The immediate issue is the IBA Board's decision not to reappoint Mordechai Kirschenbaum, director of Hebrew programming. A petition signed by more than 100 television and production staff members, circulated before today's Knesset session, called the decision a "witch-hunt" di- rected against Kirschen- baum because of his alleged "leftist" views. Kirschenbaum had been the producer of a popular satirical program that Likud politicians and reli- gious elements frequently found offensive. Reuvan Yaron, chair- man of the IBA's man- agement committee, de- fended the dismissal. He said that the replace- ment of Kirschenbaum had been under discussion dur- ing the tenure of the prev- ious director general and claimed it was untenable that employees who had Known political views should enjoy professional immunity. But many IBA staffers charge that the new administration is penaliz- ing employees for their ideas. glorify the Third Reich, spread anti-Jewish prop- aganda and claim the Holocaust never took place. The ministry said that a study of 20 recent cases showed that there were more convictions than commonly assumed and that sentences ranged from a 300 mark fine to two years in jail. At the same time, the Justice Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia an- nounced a full pardon for anti-Nazi fighter Beate Klarsfeld. She received a two-month jail sentence in Cologne in 1974 for inflicting bodily harm and duress on former SS security officer Kurt Lischka who was the Ges- tapo chief in Paris during World War II. Lischka has been accused of responsibility for the murder of at least 22,000 French Jews. Mrs. Klarsfeld, 40, and several French friends, attempted to drag him into a car in 1971 to bring him to France for trial. The kidnapping failed and Mrs. Klarsfeld, who returned to France, was tried and sentenced by a Cologne court in absentia. M.
