GERMAN CROSS-The swastika was the emblem of Nazi anti-
Semites who terrorized German Jews in the '34's and '40's. New
appearances of the emblem seem .t presage a strengthened neo-
Nazism in Germany.

LEADERS - German Foreign
Minister von Brentano and West
Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt both
talked about the problem of a
resurgent anti-Semitism in the
Bonn Republic.

Anti-Jewish
Acts Spread
Over World
Synagogue Swastikas
Cause Much Protest
BONN (iP) - Jewish leaders
joined forces with a Church of
England group and the Mayor of
West Berlin yesterday in demand-
ing that all persons tainted with
Nazism be thrown out of high
places in West Germany.
The swastika swabbing that be-
gan at a Cologne synagogue on
Christmas Eve continued unabat-
ed over much of the world.
More and more voices were be-
ing heard in West Germany for
an end to the ugly incidents which
have given the government of
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer a
black eye.
The World Jewish Congress sub-
mitted to the foreign office here a
12-point memorandum containing
these principal demands:
Lists Program
1) The government should in-
vestigate itself, -the civil service,
the judiciary, the teaching profes-
sion and the press and get rid of
anyone tainted with Nazism.
2) New legislation should be
drafted so that organizations even
suspected of Nazism could be
banned.
3) A special police force should
be set up to investigate anti-
Semitic acts.
Sees Brentano
4) The nation's system of edu-
cation should be overhauled and
courses introduced pointing up
the evils of the Nazi system and
encouraging respect for human
rights.
The program was presented by
Alexander Easterman, political di-
rector of the Congress. He came
here from London to lay the or-
ganization's demands before For-
eign Minister Heinrich von Bren-
tano.
The foreign office said von
Brentano pledged a careful study
of the plan and promised Easter-
man no stone would be left un-
turned to smash anti-Seiitic and
Nazi tendencies in the Bonn re-
public.
Newspaper Supports
The Church of England news-
paper, which is unofficial but rep-
resents the views of many Angli-
can clergymen, wrote that no ef-
forts by Bonn to stamp out anti-
Semitism would reassure the
world unless the government "is
prepared to dismiss from its own
ranks those who are known to
have been active supporters of the
Hitler regime."
Mayor Willy Brandt of West
Berlin, a Socialist, told the city
parliament there are many former
followers of Hitler "in the high
levels of the administration, jus-
tice, education and among the so-
called voices of public opinion" in
West Germany.
The Socialists, in opposition to
Adenauer's government, are
against a government-sponsored
bill to stiffen penalties for inciting
racialism. Adolf Arndt, a Socialist
leader, said it was more import-
ant for the government to guard
against right radicals in the same
spirit it opposes Communists.
West Berlin police announced
meanwhile that 26 Communist
were being held for distributing a
newspaper blaming Adenauer and
the West Berlin government for
the anti-Jewish incidents.
Twenty-two others .have been
arrested so far on charges of neo-
Nazi activities in West Berlin. One
is an official of West Berlin's Zeh-
lendorf Borough. He was arrest-
ed for giving the Nazi salute. Last
night the government announced
he is being suspended from his
job.
Many persons in high places
here and abroad were urging the
Adenauer government to do some-
thing about the nation's school
system. Few youngsters under the
high school age are taught any
20th century history.

WASHINGTON ()--Rep. Rich-
ard M. Simpson of Pennsylvania,
a hard battler for old time Repub-
licanism, died yesterday at the age
of 59.
His death, which followed brain
surgery Dec. 14, brought expres-
sions of deep regret from party
leaders.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
in a formal statement called Simp-
son "a veteran and distinguished
legislator who for many years
has courageously and conscien-
tiously served his district, the
nation and the Republican Party.'
Vice-President Richard M. Nix-
on, whom Simpson supported vig-
orously against attempts of Harold
E. Stassen to dump him from the
national ticket in 1956, said Simp-
son was a man who "earned the
deep respect of all those who
worked with him."
Sen. Thruston B. Morton of
Kentucky, the Republican national
chairman, spoke of Simpson as "a
dedicated American patriot as well
as a truly great Republican."
Simpson, who first was elected
to Congress 23 years ago, was
chairman of the Republican con-
gressional committee, which
worked toward the election of Re-
publicans to the House.
One of Simpson's latest legis-
lative proposals was to reduce in-
come taxes for everyone. He was
a steady fighter against the lower-
ing of tariffs under the reciprocal
trade program.
By Senators
WASHINGTON (JP)-Two Senate
Democrats who soon may be vying
for his job bristled yesterday at
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
appeal for an end to wrangling
between the White House and the
Democratic-run Congress.
Republicans generally applaud-
ed the President's message as
"forceful . . . bold, and imagina-
tive . . . a historic document."
Senate Democratic Leader Lyn-
don B. Johnson of Texas said the
administration should "review the
past and recognize that coopera-
tion is a two-way street."
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-
Minn.) said Eisenhower had made
an unwarranted attack on Con-
gress. If the President does not
offer legislatioi to -meet the
peoples' needs, Humphrey said,
"he may expect something far
more serious than wrangling."
These comments by Johnson
and Humphrey were among the
sharpest reaction to Eisenhower's
State of the Union speech.
Leading the Republican cheering
section was Senate GOP Leader
Everett M. Dirksen (Ill.). He
hailed the Eisenhower report as "a
great message from a big man
with a big heart."
House Republican Leader Charles
A. Halleck (Ind.)-a GOP vice-
presidential possibility - said
Eisenhower had "demonstrated the
high quality of his leadership."
Sen. Thruston B. Morton of
Kentucky, who doubles as Re-
publican national chairman, said
Eisenhower had outlined "a pro-
gressive program for Congress to
implement in the fields of educa-
tion, foreign policy, civil rights,
expansion of the domestic econ-
t omy, space exploration and mili-
Stary' development."-
