The reputedly neo-Nazi National Democratic Party (NPD) boasted today that its support is increasing. According to a party spokesman, the new strength stems from the failure of Minister of Interior Ernst Benda to get the cabinet to agree to steps to ban the NPD as anti-democratic and unconstitutional. It is also attributed to the distribution of three million NPD pamphlets to West German households. The party claims that attendance at meetings has gone up.
