German Nationalism Again
On March With Nazi Revival
Raising Bar To Communism
..' BERLIN, (JP)-lt the old spirit of German nationalism on the
march again?
'"VVMtern allied officials in. B""ta have tciiiIUr-S tj '"a ''2s 'el
evidence that points that way.
"The buagboo of communism may toon have to take a back seat.
There's competition aumnd," an American political authority com
mented. . r
All four occupation powers
Britain, France, Russia and the
U. S. appear to be sensitive to
the rebirth of the old Bismark
creed of "Germany for the Ger
: mans. , ,
Recent examples of this are:
In London, member of parlia
ment Brigadier Frank Medlicott
said "signs of the return of Naz
ism In Germany are increasing."
In Washington, chief war
crimes counsel Telford Taylor
asserted the Germans are trying
' to "soft pedal" the war crimes
trials behind a' rising national
ism. In Paris, the French have con
sistently resisted ' proposals to
halt dismantling of German in
dustry which they call war po
tential. '
In Ottawa,' Canada, Field Mar
shal Lord Wavell forecast that
Germany would eventually be
come a greater problem for the
west than the Soviet Union. He
called the Germans the "most
dangerous people in Europe."

nuzia to win political strength,
ran into old German stubborn
ness only this month. They gave
civil rights back to former nazis,
then ordered the Communist pup
pet government they set up In
the eastern zone to install Com
munist ideas. Immediately the
former nazis, banded together
within the national democratic
fiarty, lashed out against tuni
ng private enterprise into so
called peoples-owned industries.
On top of that, the Socialist
Unity (Communist) party ac
knowledged the existence of the
"nationalist" spirit within its own
ranks and ordered a widespread
Eurge. They called it "Titoism,"
ut most observers calculate that
the "ism" was around long be
fore Yugoslavia's Marshall Tito
broke with the Kremlin.
How much of the growing Ger
man spirit of independence is
"nationalist" and how much Is
pure Nazi is a matter of debate.
However, almost any major
Nazi is a matter of debate. How
ever, almost any major Nazi
who has escaped .trial for war
crimes up to now can face most
German courts without too much
fear, unless he is personally link
ed with an individual war crime.
The relaxed attitude toward ex
nazis is shown by the recent con
viction of Gertrud Scholz Klink,
head of Adolf Hitler's League for
German Women.
A French zone German court
found her a "major nazl" hut
said that the 18 months she had
already spent in jail awaiting
the trial was enough punish
ment. Her opposite number, Baldur
von Schirach, is serving 20 years
in Spandau prison. The sentence
was imposed by the international
war crimes court at Nuernberg
in 1946 for his activities as head
of ' the Hitler Jugend (Hitler
youth.)
U. $. Flag Tern Down
Last week two German men In
vaded, a Jewish synagogue near
Bayreuth and ripped the Ameri
can flag off the wall.
Only last night a group calling
itself "friends of Otto Straeser'
tried to hold a political rally in
Duesseldorf on the Rhine. The
British occupation authorities for'
bade the meeting; Strasser was
one of the seven men with Hit
ler who founded the Nazi party.
He has been a refugee in Cana
da since he broke with Hitler
but has tried repeatedly to "re
turn to Germany.

OUT OUR WAY
By J. R. Williams
No Damagts probable For Vanport Flood Sufferers
PORTLAND VP) Federal I Judge Fee ruled the government
judge - James Alger f ee nas
dampened the hopes of claimants
for damages resulting irom last
year's flood destruction of Van-
port. ' : .
He told lawyers representing
478 clients that he does not be
lieve the government is liable for
the damage claims of more than
$4,000,000. He reserved formal
decision on the issue, however,
and instructed the 44 lawyers to
prepare for pre-trial conferences.
These will start Friday. ,
The lawyers appeared to oppose
a motion by the u. is. attorney
general's office to dismiss the
suits. Judge Fee said he would
not rule on the motion until the
suits come up for trial.
Several- attorneys inaicatea u
are preventing his return "know
ing lull well that in a few years
time we would be the strongest
party in Germany."
Stasser and his brother, Gre-
for, who was liquidated by the
S, represented the extreme na
tionalist right wing in German
political thinking.
Nazis Revive -in Austria
The Bonn legislative halls have
been ringing with more and more
speeches on behalf of German
ism. One delegate proposed "re
cently to restore the Hitler-engineered
"anschluss" with Aus
tria (Hitler's bloodless coup
which brought Austria into the
nazi camp in 1938).
In Austria, too. a swing to
nazi rightist thinking was re
corded in its national elections a
month ago. The people's party
retained dominance over the So
cialists, but the neo-Nazi league
of independents appeared out of
nowhere to gam a surprisingly
strong third.
One of the most persistent agi
tations within Germany is car
ried on by the socalled "Nau
heim circle," headed by Profes
sor Ulrich Noack, which tries
constantly to hold meetings ot
Germans from both the west
and Soviet zones of occupation.
The theme of the Noack follow
ers is that everyone except Ger
mans should get out of Germany
and allow the country to be
come neutral ground in the east
west political dispute.
Noack's last attempted meeting
over the past weekend was
banned by German police as "sub
versive and threatening."
Leads Reoovery
Political advisers to the occur
patlon authorities point out here
that the "German thinking" is
being revealed more and more
as their shops fill up and their
pay envelopes grow into some
thing like a peacetime normal
living wage, after 10 years of
war and despair.
West Germany leads all Eu
rope recovery nations in increas
ing its industrial production and
Austria is running second.
Obedience to the "conqueror"
Is no longer commanded by a
snap of an occupation soldier's
finger as it was during the per
iod immediately after the war
except in the Soviet zone where
military rule is much more strict

areas are about 250,000 sheep,"
he said.
The speaker said the number '
ol sheep is a reduction Irom pre

obtaining labor lor care of the
animals has been a big lactor In
the reduction.
