Bundestag Extends War Crimes Date
BONN, (JTA)—The Bundestag, West Germany's lower house of Parliament, endorsed by a substantial majority the principle of extending the effective date of statute of limitations on prosecution of murder beyond next May 8.
The Bundestag did so by referring to It-s Legal Committee the problem of working out a specific procedure. Among the proposals considered in the day-long debate prior to the vole was one to extend the cutoff date
by ten years, another to extend it indefinitely and still another to pass a constitutional amendment. The amendment proposal was offered by deputies who expressed fear over the possibility tJiat a simple change of law might be ruled un¬ constitutional.
The Legal Committee was given 15 to 20 days to work out a specific proposal and report it back to the Bundestag.
The only votes cast against the measure came from the Indepen¬ dent Democrats, the party of Justice Minister Ewald Bucher. the most adamant foe of extension of the statute. Dr. Bucher submitted a re¬ port, requested by the Bundestag, which he said indicated fhat if the May 8 cut off date was applied, some Nazi murderers might escape prosecution.
The debate took place before packed galleries and with reporters pi-esent from many parts of the world, indicating the worldwide in¬ terest on the issue. The debate was also nationally televised.
It was learned that all members of the Bundestag who have indi¬ cated that they want extension of the staute received threats of death by ¦ mail. The swastika decorated leaflets said that those "who are submissive to Tel Aviv and New York and who work against the May 8 expiration of the statute of limitations for so-called Nazi crimes wiil be sentenced to death on the date of the vote. The fuehrer of Brigade district 3 will be responsi¬ ble for carrying out the sentences."
Police arrested two men on sus¬ picion they had prepared the leaf¬ lets.
