A bill to dismantle what little remains of the denazification apparatus in the State of Hesse was approved here today by the Hesse Cabinet for submission to the legislature.
The measure cancels almost all professional restrictions and other penalties imposed by denazification courts to date, provides that no further denazification trials be held, and that such trials as have already been started should be quashed. There are eight denazification cases pending in this state of 4,500, 000 population.
