BITTERNESS SHOWN
GERMAN DEPORTEES SEARCH FOR ESCAPEES (11.45 a.m.) SYDNEY, Nov. 25. Commonwealth security officers and State police are now searching for another German national who has broken his parole. Alfred Stoffer, aged 48, indent agent, is wanted for deportation at the end of the month and is described by the police as an active Nazi agent. He was ordered to catch a train at Melbourne on Friday night but did not leave. Dr. Joahnnes Heinrich Becker is also still at large and is now reported to be in Melbourne. The waterfront police there will carry out an intensive search of two ships scheduled to leave Melbourne today for Liverpool and Haifa. The police believe that Becker is afraid to return to Germany because he may be tried by a denazification tribunal.
Violent scenes and displays of bitterness between Australians and deportees occurred in Melbourne when 450 aliens were embarked aboard the Kanimbla for transport to Fremantle, where they will be placed aboard the American ship General Heintzelmann.
