BONN (JTA)-West German authorities, thoroughly alarmed by the prospects of escalating rightwing violence, have begun to take sterner measures against neo-Nazi groups and activists, some of whom have been linked to the Palestine Liberation Organization. The latest manifestation of the tougher attitude was the announcement last week that four neo-Nazis • have been accused by the federal prosecutor in Stuttgart of organizing a terrorist group active against Jews and foreigners. v At the same time, the ruling Social Democratic Party (SPD) has moved to tighten legislation barring neo-Nazi propaganda. Meanwhile, further details' of the long-known link between the outlawed Wehrs- portsgruppe Hoffmann and the PLO were published last week in the Bonner Rundschau. The neo-Nazi organization, headed by Karl Heinz Hoffman, was banned last year after its masquerade as a sports club was exposed: According to the newspaper, Hoffman and his female friend, Franziska Brinkman, led a group of 16 persons who spent time at a PLO installation south of Beirut last year to receive training in ter- Is .For Tbha isA¥ Appeal- Seyman L. Stern, president of the Temple Israel Congregation, would like to extend a special invitation to the entire community to attend services on Friday, The Jewish National Fund is calling the attention of the community to a special Tisha B'Av appeal, the anniversary of the destruction of the Temples. This year, the JNF is once again thrust into a role of urgent responsibility. This high priority appeal for funds is to replant and restore more than 200 acres of Galilee destroyed in. recent days by forest fires resulting from PLO shell- ings. Dr. Samuel I. Cohen, Executive Vice-President of the Jewish National Fund, issued the appeal following reports from Jsrael that estimate damage to woodlands and. orchards in northern Galilee at several million • dollars. Numerous export 1 fruit crops have been consumed by the fires. "In recent days," Dr.' Cohen said, "forest '< fires have been breaking out along Israel's northern Galilee border causing- widespread damage and forcing JNF fire-fighting brigades and spotter planes to operate around the clock under barrages of deadly shelling from terrorist organizations across the Lebanese border." Dr. Cohen said the JNF would undertake re-afforestation activity as soon as practicable. "Naturally," he said, "this will add an unforeseen burden to the JNF budget, and extra funds are sorely needed to complete this vital work of rebuilding, replanting and. restoring the ravaged land." Of the more than 100,000 trees destroyed in the forest fires, many thousands were planted by kibbutz settlers 30 years ago as living memorials to victims of the Nazi Holocaust. The trees have preserved the soil of northern Galilee by preventing erosion and creating- the necessary ecological systems for wildlife habitation.
