London police today arrested Erwin Scholz, pro-Nezi German citizen and organizer of an anti-Jewish spiritualist organization, and are holding him pending his deportation from this country.

Following a recent order by Home Secretary James Chuter Ede expelling Scholz from Britain, the former prisoner of war who created a furor several months ago at the international spiritualist conference here by denouncing Jews, went into hiding. The press reported that he had established secret headquarters for his “Ostara” movement. Scholz was also active in the Mosleyite British Union Movement.
