The Bavarian Ministry of the Interior has started action against the anti-Semitic Arrow Cross publishers, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned today.
Officials of the group, which maintains a research center and a library of fascist and anti-Semitic literature in upper Bavaria, are expected soon to receive a request to leave the West German Republic voluntarily and to “seek political asylum elsewhere. Upper Bavarian authorities have received orders from the Ministry of the Interior to so inform the Fascist leaders.
The Arrow Cross has been publishing two periodicals, “Cel” and “Hidverok,” which have been distributed to Hungarian refugee groups in Europe, the United States and Australia. One of the Arrow Cross leaders is Geza Alfoldi, former Propaganda Secretary in the World War II pro-Nazi Szelasi Government in Hungary.
