A request by the Bavarian Council of Jews for confiscation of anti-Semitic literature being printed here and distributed from a Munich office has been turned down by the Prosecutor pending further inquiries.
The Council had complained against the periodicals “Cel” and “Hidverok,” published here by a Hungarian refugee group whose members formerly belonged to the anti-Semitic “Arrow Cross.” The Jewish group also demanded confiscation of a book by Lajos Marschalko, called “The World Conquerors,” which is written in the style of the notorious anti-Semitic forgery, “The Protocols of Zion.”
According to the Prosecutor’s office, Marschalko and his printer, H. Ledermueller, have admitted that they have printed some of the offensive material, but claimed that it was distributed only out of this country, particularly in England. The Prosecutor ruled that confiscation would be possible only if a copy of the English text is furnished to him.
