The local police today recommended that a Frankfurt restaurant have its operating licerse revoked following an investigation into an anti-Semitic incident at the cafe.

During a dispute with a customer, the head waiter declared that Jews were undesirable guests and added that he would be happy to pay 100 marks a month to the local Jewish community to keep Jews out of the place. A report of the incident has been handed over to the local district attorney and denazification court. The police have confirmed the report.

Former Gestapo Lieutenant Rudolph Beer and one-time commander of the Ravensbrueck concentration camp for women is currently on trial before a Stuttgart court on charges of crimes against humanity and mass murder. The indictment cites 33 specific incidents. A verdict is expected some time next week.
