The West German Interior Ministry said today in its annual report that the number of Nazi and anti-Semitic incidents in West Germany dropped in 1967 compared with 1966. The report said that in 1966 there were 449 such incidents while last year there were 387 such activities. The report said that 70 persons were sentenced during 1967 by West German courts for such actions. The report also asserted that there was no evidence of a Nazi underground movement in the nation.
Conceding that the extremist National Democratic Party had managed to rally all nationalistic rightist groups in West Germany, the report insisted there was no tendency toward radicalism in the country, either right or left.
