TV's 'Holocaust' under fire
Neo-Nazis threaten bombs
United Press International
BONN, West Germany — Extra
police guards were stationed at
West German television facilities to
prevent neo-Nazi groups from carry
ing out their threat to disrupt
Monday’s nationwide broadcast of
“Holocaust,” the American televi
sion series on Nazi extermination of
Jews.
West German authorities took
special precautions at television
transmitting towers, which were a
target of bomb attacks Thursday
during the showing of a 90-minute
German documentary on the mass
murders.
Heinz Werner Huebner, TV pro
gram director in Cologne, said
German television bought the
American series for $543,000 “to
show people at home and abroad
that we are not afraid to deal with
such a shocking theme.”
The first segment of the four part
series was shown throughout West
Germany at 9 p.m.(3 p.m. EST).
The other portions will be shown
at the same time today, Thursday
and Friday nights. It was the first
time in the history of German tele
vision that its Third Channel, which
normally shows regional programs,
presented the same program na
tionwide.
A network spokesman said secu
rity measures would be tightened
throughout the week. He said police
would guard not only the stations,
but the transmitting towers, many
of which are in isolated areas.
“We are taking the threats se
riously even though they are not
concrete,” he said. “This is sensible

Thursday, a bomb attack on a
television transmitting tower near
Koblenz blacked out screens in the
southwestern part of the country
during the showing of the German
program.
“There will be more bombings,”
anonymous calls to stations have
warned. “Halt the series,’ other
telephone callers demanded.
Some Germans opposed the se
ries on the grounds it has inac
curacies that would be meaningless
in the United States but would de
tract from the series’ message in
Germany.
But Hans Koschnick, the Social
Democratic mayor of Bremen, said,
“This series will shake awake those
people who do not want to look at
the past and accept the truth.”

ST. LOUIS — Peace is more than
the absence of war.
Peace is justice, harmony, a lack
of tension, a creative atmosphere
and a positive force, says James H.
Laue. It doesn’t just happen. It can
be waged as methodically and effi
ciently as war.
Moving from this belief, Laue and
others are working to create the
United States Academy of Peace
and Conflict Resolution, an institu
tion to be organized like the service
academies at West Point and An
napolis.
But the peace academy, Laue
said, would help antagonists learn to
solve their disputes without raising
voices, firing guns or taking lives.
“Once disputes escalate to vio
lence, the most powerful parties
exercise their power, said Laue,
bringing his fist crashing down into
his palm. "It becomes a win-lose
situation.

“With accepted techniques of
conflict resolution, we try to meet
some of everyone s needs. It be
comes a real win-win situation.
As a co-chairman of the National
Peace Academy Campaign, Laue
has helped steer through Congress
legislation signed in November by
President Carter creating a nine-
person commission to study creation
of the academy. The commission is
