In a letter to the director of the Feyenoord stadium, STIBA mentions various examples which all take their origin in the natural rivalry of Feyenoord for their main competitor, the "Ajax" soccer club of Amsterdam. The chairman of the Ajax is Jewish and so are several of its main supporters. Both Ajax and Feyenoord have been national soccer champions many times. Feyenoord fans now have a song, "Ajax to the Gas Chambers" and similar slogans. The Feyenoord fans are notorious for their unruly behavior. Meanwhile, the occupation by squatters of temporarily un- occupied buildings which is now extremely widespread in Hol- land has now also become the fate of the former club house of Bnei Akiva in Amsterdam. Bnei Akiva recently moved to another part of Amsterdam, a neighborhood that is in walking distance of the homes of most of its Orthodox members. The club house was to be taken over by Habonim, which had not yet moved in. The house was unoccupied. According to present Dutchlegislation it is almost impossible to evict squatters once they have been in a building more than a few hours and have managed to bring in a bed and a table. Meanwhile, in Paris, the left-wing organization "Movement Against Racism, Anti-Semitism and for Peace" ( MRAP) is about to expel one of its members who has agreed to act as defense attorney for Robert Flaurisson, a French historian who has writ- ten a book in which he contends that the Nazi gas chambers never existed and that the Holocaust victims have been "grossly exag- gerated." The former professor who was dismissed from his post at Lyons University in the wake of a scandal caused by one of his previous books on the same theme, is being sued by eight civic (Continued on Page 5) JERUSALEM (JTA) — More Egyptian ministers will visit Israel shortly following the successful visit last week of Prof. Mohammad Mahmoud Daoud, Egypt's agriculture minister. Political circles in Jerusalem described Daoud's visit and particularly his meetings in Jerusalem as a breakthrough in the relations between the two countries. Thus they expected further steps promoting the normalization process. Israel Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon will leave for Egypt shortly and Egypt's minister of industry will visit Israel. The most significant change in Daoud's visit was the end to the boycott on Jerusalem, political observers noted, although the Egyptians made a point of stressing that the visit by no means meant recognition of Israeli sovereignty over both parts of Jerusalem. Daoud met with President Yitzhak Navan and Premier Menahem Begin. He is the first Egyptian of cabinet rank to Jerusalem since the peace treaty negotiations ran into a snag nearly three years ago and he made it clear that this was a courtesy call on the president and should not be construed as recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the city. Daoud said the purpose of his visit to Israel was professional to deal with such matters as the exchange of specialists, re- search and new technology in the field of JERUSALEM (JTA) — A proposal to recognize non- agriculture.

Juden Raus (Jews Out), a Nazi game for children in which the winner is the first player to expel six Jews, is displayed at the Wiener Library. By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV (JTA) — The Wiener Library, described as the world's largest, most important and most comprehensive source of information on anti-Semitism, the Holocaust and fascism, has been moved from London to Tel Aviv University. The collection, which has been referred to as a chamber of horrors, was established in Amsterdam in 1933 by Dr. Alfred Wiener, a G4-rman Jewish scholar who recognized the dangers of the rising Nazi Party and began to devote himself to documenting its practices. Wiener moved it in 1939 to London, where it opened on the very day World War II broke out. During the war the library, which he continued to head, was extensively used by the British intelligence services as a major source fOr information about German affairs and by the British Broadcasting Corp. for its counter- propaganda services. After the war, the library was expanded by the addition of eye-witness accounts of Nazi atrocities, transcripts of the Nuremburg and Eichmann war crimes trials, and documents from the Gestapo and Nazi Party archives. Wiener died in 1964. Since then the library has been headed by Prof. Walter Laqueur, who divides his time between London and Tel Aviv, where he is on the faculty of the Tel Aviv University. The library contains 60,000 books, reference works, pamphlets and periodicals, one million newspaper clippings, 1,500 eye-witness accounts of Nazi persecution from diaries, unpublished memoirs and interviews, 40,000 documents relating to the Nuremberg trials and the Eichmann trial, literature on the various publications and editions of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion," dossiers on war criminals, and some 5,000 documents relating to the Jewish question (Continued on Page 5) -
