The Nazi swastika today flew over King David Hotel, modern Jerusalem hostelry named for the famous Biblical king of the Hebrews. The German national emblem was hoisted over the hotel in honor of Lt. Col. Oscar Von Hindenburg, son of the late German president and army hero, who is stopping there on a tour of the Near East.
