BERLIN — (UPI)— The West Berlin city government today arrested 13 suspected neo-Nazis and decided to outlaw extreme nationalist groups in a move to wipe out an anti-Semitic underground.
The Berlin police action, toughest crackdown yet against a wave of anti-Semitic outbreaks in West Germany and other sections of Western Europe, came even as new incidents were reported.
Police in Berlin raided the homes of suspected Nazis and confiscated photographs of Adolf Hitler, copies of his "Mein Kampf," anti-Jewish and pro-Nazi propaganda and military equipment of the type worn by the Hitler youth.
A PRECIOUS CARGO—KU geologists pack specimens of frozen rock to ship to Lawrence. The rock, packed with dry ice in metal cylinders, must stay frozen until processed to determine its age. Preparing this cylinder for air lift to Lawrence is Ernest Angino, graduate student working on his Ph.D. in geochemistry, Ens. Steve Schmidt of the USN and a 1958 graduate of the University and Edward Zeller, associate professor of geology.
The outbreaks marred West Germany's celebration of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's 84th birthday, the nearest thing West Germany has to a national day.
West Berlin Police Nab 13 Anti-Semitic Leaders
The West Berlin senate said these organizations would be outlawed. The Senate also moved to ban the extreme right wing "German Reichs Party" whose members desecrated a synagogue in Cologne.
The arrested persons ranged in age from 18 to 26. They were members of two extreme right wing nationalist youth organizations.
West Berlin's campaign was announced at a press conference by Joachim Lipschitz, head of the city interior department.
The Senate recommended expulsion from schools and universities of students who engage in Nazi or anti-Jewish activity.
Heinz Galinski, leader of West Berlin's Jewish community, appeared with Lipschitz and praised the city's swift action to counter the anti-Jewish incidents. Eut he criticized the slowness of the West German federal government in Bonn,
As the West Berlin arrests were made, three more incidents were reported in the city. A swastika and a "Jews Get Out" sign were painted on a wall. A swastika flag was found in a playground. A five-mark coin was defaced with swastikas.

Lipschitz said the Senate at a meeting today decided to ban the "National Youth of Germany" and the "Federation of National Students." All the suspects belonged to either of the two groups.
He said the city government would ask the western allies for permission to ban the German Reichs Party as hostile to democratic order.
West Berlin citizens formed their own protest against the anti-Jewish incidents. Young socialist torchbearers mounted guard last night over
In Rome, Italian police cracked down on a neo-Fascist organization they said was responsible for a mounting wave of anti-Semitic threats in Italy. They arrested an undisclosed number of persons in a pre-dawn raid, one while he was painting a swastika on the door of a textile shop.
the city's memorial for victims of Nazi tyranny and will maintain it through Friday.
In Austria, officials of the Vienna Jewish community said they had received a letter threatening the only synagogue would be blown up this afternoon.
Other anti-semitic incidents were reported in Finland, England and Holland.

Antarctic Rocks Shipped to KU
Frozen rocks—40 pounds of them—will be shipped to KU by two KU geologists of Antarctica.
Edward J. Zeller, associate professor of geology, and Ernest E. Angino, who is working on his Ph.D. in geochemistry, are gathering rock samples on the iceberg continent to be dated by a process using thermoluminescence. This is quality possessed by rocks which causes them to give off light when heated.
By measuring the amount of light produced Prof. Zeller hopes to determine the age of the rock samples. This in turn will provide information about past climatic and geological developments in Antarctica.
Since the equipment for measuring the light is not available in Antarctica, the specimens must be returned to KU without becoming heated. How will Prof. Zeller and Angino keep the rock samples frozen? Packing them in dry ice and shipping them back by plane will be the answer for the KU geologists.
Prof. Zeller spent the last summer (U.S. winter of 1958-59) season in Antarctica, and discovered that rocks taken from the surface have been heated by the sun and have lost some of their light giving qualities. This year he and Angino are gathering samples from depths of one foot to six feet.
Their research in Antarctica is supported by the U. S. Navy through Operation Deep Freeze.
Other findings on the frozen continent included a mummified seal. Prof. Zeller found it on a rock-collecting trip near McMurdo Sound and believes it to be about 500 years old. Climatic conditions of the Antarctic kept the seal preserved.
Prof. Zeller and Angino plan to return to relative warmth at Lawrence next semester.
