Here briefly are the facts about a city 100 miles within the territory of the German Democratic Republic, where East and West directly face each other: POLICE: About one-third were members of the nazi par- ty or S.S. This week the force broke up demonstrations of anti-fascists. ADMINISTRATION: Over 25,000 officials, removed from abor’s responsibility in the Utampaign for disarmament Will be discussed by William Kashtan at a public meeting in Pender Auditorium this soming Sunday, January 17, it 8 p.m. Anti-Semites hold power in West Berlin ; By PHYLLIS ROSNER BERLIN—The nazi poison is as strong in West Berlin as in West Germany and just as dangerous. This is con- firmed by investigations I have just made. their positions after the war because of their nazi affilia- tions, are again working: in all branches of the administra- tion. EDUCATION: Hundreds of teachers were members of the nazi party. History books used |. in schools scarcely refer to the crimes of the Hitler per- iod, including the extermina- tion of six million Jews. Books and magazines glorifying war can be had in unlimited quan- tities from shops and stalls. JUSTICE: Dozens of judges and prosecutors from the nazi special military and peoples’ courts work in the judicial ap- paratus. These are the men. responsible for having sent anti-fascists from Germany and many other countries to their deaths. And these are some of the men giving short shrift to anti-fascists appearing before West Berlin courts. ESPIONAGE: There is a jungle of organizations all with the job of maintaining West Berlin as a front-line city in the cold war. Estimates of the exact number vary be- tween.50 and 80. To end this scandal it will need more than protestations of disgust by the authorities. It needs a change in West Ber- interested in the size of the payload it could carry to an- other planet. This in turn depends upon the capacity of its power units, said Academician Anatoly Dor- odnitsyn. The developments of the new super-rocket will also make it possible to increase the size of future Soviet sput- niks — already many times larger than the largest Ameri- can satelites — and thus broad- en the field for space research near the earth, he said. The academician was com- menting on the announcement that the first series of test launchings of the new rock- ets are to be carried out be- tween January 15 and Feb- tuary 15. ; The rockets are to be launch- ed minus their final, load-car- rying stages. Their next-to-last stages will fall into the sea in an area in the central Pacific midway between Hawaii and the Fiji Islands, more than 4,000 miles from the nearest Soviet territory. ~ . Soviet vessels are to be sent into the area, which is off the main sea and air routes and away from fishing grounds, to take the necessary measure- ments. The Soviet government has requested other governments to instruct shipping and _ air- craft to keep clear of the area specified during the trials. This week’s announcement is seen here as heralding a ma- jor new advance in Soviet space research. The possibil- ity of rockets reaching Mars and Venus has been a fre- quent topic for discussion in articles by leading Soviet scientisis recently. Stevens, Lacusta speak in Langley Homer Stevens and George Lacusta, Communist Party candidates in the coming pro- vincial elections, will speak at a public meeting in Willough- by Community Hall on Alex- ander Road, Langley, on Fri- day, January 22 at 8 p.m. They will discuss the problems of school financing, Harold Winch and the wage question, and issues before the next ses- lin’s abnormal situation. sion of the legislature. against nazi this week. “We must insist that the Canadian government do much more than simply criti- cize this shocking revival of Nazi chauvinism. because anti- Semitism is the natural out- growth of the NATO foreign policy of encouraging German revanchism and rebuilding the West German war machine to press the cold war against East Germany and the Social- ist countries,” he said. “Under Dulles ‘brink-of-war’ policies West Germany became a jungle of refuge for war criminals, racists and provoe- ateurs of the Hitler war ma- chine, who have moved back into positions of influence un- FOR REPORTS ON THE POISON OF ANTI-SEMITISM — SEE PAGES 2, 3 must all speak out ET ROCKET TRIALS— IARS, VENUS MOSCOW - The new Soviet rocket system to be tested during the next six weeks will be of special importance in inter flight, said a Soviet scientist here this week.

We must make sure we don’t make the mistake again that we made in the thirties when fas- cism first reared its ugly head. It is no accident that this anti- Semitic outbreak follows on the outlawing of the Commun- ist Party and the peace move- ment in Western Germany. It should be taken as a serious warning and we _ should all speak out.” TORONTO — ‘Announce- ment by Ottawa that Canadian aircraft in Western Europe, the new Starfighter, will be equipped with nuclear arms, is another step in the equip- ment of .Canadian armed forc- es with U.S. nuclear weapons.” says a disarmament campaign bulletin issued this week by the Communist Party of Can- ada. “At the moment,” continues the CPC statement, “construc- tion is proceeding at two Bo- Laurier, Quebec, and another in North Bay, Ontario.
