BONN, Oct. 4 — West Germany announced today that it had banned two Palestinian organizations because they had threatened violence here. The prohibition on the General Union of Palestinian Students, with 800 listed members, and the General Union of Palestinian Workers, with 1,000 members, was disclosed by Interior Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher.

It was one of a series of increasingly severe measures taken to control Arabs residing here since the raid in Munich by eight Arab terrorists on Sept. 5 that led to the killing of 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team.

The Interior Minister disclosed that “well under 100 Arabs” had been expelled from West Germany since then on suspicion of links with Palestinian terrorists, and that 1,990 Arab travelers had been turned back at border-crossing points for lack of proper papers or on suspicion of unacceptable connections.

There are 50,000 legally registered Arabs living and working in West Germany. It is believed that 10,000 more live in the country without having registered. Among those expelled in the last four weeks was Abdullah Hassan Yums el-Frangi, the 30-year-old chief of the Palestinian Student Union, who was one of eight Arabs taken into custody and deported Sept. 27.

How this transcription was made

Transcribed from a scan of the printed page. The page carries no masthead and no folio; the date is fixed from the page's own standing box, 'The Proceedings In the U.N. Today', headed 'Oct. 5, 1972', against a lede datelined 'BONN, Oct. 4'. The newspaper is identified from three printed credit lines reading 'Special to The New York Times', not from a masthead. The scan carries two separate articles side by side; the recorded headline and excerpt are the dominant left-hand one, and the right-hand column holds a second, separately headlined piece on a bombing in Paris that is not transcribed here. Read from crops magnified to between four and five times page scale.
