The Nazi Party was legalized in West Germany this weekend in a technical move which, however, is not expected to result in the rebirth in fact of the Hitler movement. The legalization of the party was included in a bill which repealed a number of Allied occupation statutes, including the one which forbid reorganization of the Nazi Party under a maximum penalty of death.

Dr. Walter Strauss, high Bonn Justice Ministry official, said that the Bonn Constitution provided enough safeguards to take care of Germans who attempt to rebuild the Nazi political instrument.
