BARON VON KRAMM PUT UNDER ARREST

No. 1 German Tennis Player Arrested on Suspicion of Nazi Violation

Berlin, March 7--(UP)--An official statement said today that police had arrested Baron Gottfried Von Cramm, German tennis player "on suspicion of violation of paragraph 175 of the criminal code," which covers sexual irregularities.

Von Cramm arrived in Germany with his Davis Cup partner, Henner Henkel, last week. Upon his arrival in Munich he told nnewsmen that he intended to remain several days enjoying winter sports in Bavaria.

The arrest was believed to have occurred on last Saturday.

Von Cramm and Henkel had made a signally successful tennis tour of Australia. Playing against Don Budge and Gene Mako of the United States, and against Jack Bromwich, Adrian Quist, Vivian McGrath and Jack Crawford, the German duo enjoyed a full share of victories.

Von Cramm is rated No. 2 in world rankings of amateur tennis players. His only peer is Budge.
