STUTTGART, West Germany (UPI)
- Organizers said about 52,000 people
in more than 120 German towns yester-
day protested U.S. nuclear missiles, but
a West German official dismissed them
as communist-inspired demon-
strations.
It was the second of four straight
days of traditional Easter protests ex-
pected to culminate with* huge peace
rallies outside U.S. bases today and
tomorrow.
IN AN interview with South German
radio, Interior Minister Friedrich
Zimmerman said communists were
playing a major role in the ,demon-
strations.
"Never before were the themes, the
leadership and the organization of the
Easter marches so clearly communist
as this year," he said.
Typical of the demonstrations was a
protest attended by about 200 people in
the Stuttgart satellite town of Kor-
nwestheim.
