Swastikas were painted on the walls of the Frankfurt cathedral and four flags with swastikas were placed on the cathedral’s tower yesterday. Police reported finding leaflets on the cathedral’s porch which claimed that a branch of the Nazi Party based in New Jersey (U.S.) was responsible for the acts. The party, officially called here the National Socialist Workers Party of Germany, is illegal here. Police believe that the flags were hoisted up the tower on scaffolding erected for repair work.
