BARON VON CRAMM ARRESTED IN BERLIN

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. His arrest was believed to have occurred last Saturday.

Meanwhile, friends of the Rev. Martin Niemoeller, Evangelical church leader, sought the aid of influential persons to attempt to secure the preacher's release from a Nazi concentration camp.
