The bombing last week of the Nuremberg office of the Bavarian Commission for Racial and Political Persecutees will probably remain an unsolved mystery, according to American military authorities here. There are no cluss to the perpetrators of the blast, except for the testimony of a German who said he saw a youth running away from the building after the explosion.

A protest meeting at the University of Munich yesterday, called by Dr. Philip Auerbach, Commissioner for Racial and Political Persecutees, adopted a resolution addressed to the Military Government asking severe punishment for persons responsible for bombings of government buildings. Dr. Auerbach voiced regret that two years after the destruction of the Nazi war machine, the spirit of National Socialism is still alive. Alfred Loritz, Bavarian De-Nazification Minister, who also spoke, was criticized by members of the audience for his failure to weed out former Nazis.
