Bundestag Extends "Limitations" Law
BONN. (JTA) - The Bundestag, lower house of West Germany's Parliament, voted to extend the period for the prosecution of Nazi war criminals for four and a half years.
The present cut-off date for such prosecutions under the West Ger¬ man statute of limitation for pro¬ secution of murder is May 8 of this year. The Bundestag would extend the date to December 31. 1969. The vote was 344 to 96, with four ab¬ stentions.
The formula used in the measure was to provide that the staute base should be December 31, 1949, in¬ stead of May 8. 1945, the date of the

I    Under that formula, the limitation I remains at 20 years, but the 20-year period is moved forward.
The measure approved by the Bundestag, which must now be ap¬ proved also by the Senate and the President, differed substantially from earlier proposals.
Chancellor Ludwig Erhard's Christian Democrats joined with the opposition Social Democrats at the first reading in the Bundestag on March 10, to abolish all termination dates for prosecution of Nazi war criminals.
Another proposal was for the Bundestag Legal Committee to ex¬ tend the cut-off date for 10 years. Both proposals were withdrawn be¬ fore the vote.
Immediately after the Bundestag vote. Minister of Justice Ewald Bucher submitted his resignation from the Cabinet. Mr. Bucher had insisted that the Cabinet reject ex¬ tension when the subject came up several months ago, and afterward said he would resign if his otand were to be reversed by Parliament.
He opposed prolongation of the cut-off date beyond May 8 of this year on "constitutional grounds."

Dore Schary, writer, director and producer of films and Broadway plays, was in ColumBus last week¬ end to speak at the Golden Gifts Ball at the Columbus Plaza in be half of the United Jewish Fund and CouncU.
Mr. Schary, chairman of the Na tional Commission of thfeiAnti De¬ famation League of B'nai B'rith. held a news conference in his suite at the Columbus Plaza on the morning of the BaU.
In reference to his speech at the BaU. he said that he was going to speak on the retention of the identity of people of the Jewish community as Jews. He stated th;i( the tendency of Jews today is to be¬ come homogenized With the risl of the community, thus losing sorm of their identity as Jews.
There need be nq fear of 'Ik "hyphenated American." he saiil for it is and has been these peopl' who made America strong.
Anti-semitism is still an issue. .Sn cial and poUtical anti-semitism ha\'e diminished, and, with the recent Ecumenical CouncUs, reUgious anti semitism wiU also decline.
Regarding civil rights Sehiir\ said that the Jew is used to llie kind of abuse that the negroes ;iic now receiving.
The Jews are not a race, he said, for they do not look alike, but tlie>' do have a religious and cultunil heritage. The Jew, he feels, will never disappear or vanish. If he were to, mankind would ha\e In "invent him all over again."
Schary is currently working on a Broadway play entitled "The Zulu and the Zayda." which he hopes wiU open in November. It involves an African and a Jew and their problems in communication.
Schary feels that communication
is of the utmost importance in over
coming ignorance. We are too quick
to give titles to too many people.
