KAISERSLAUTERN, Palatinate (via Strasbourg, Alsace), March 29. —(UP)—An immense crowd gathered to witness the burning on a pyre of all seven local copies of Erich Maria Remarque's novel, "All Quiet on the Western Front," it reported today.

A socialist newspaper, describing the demonstration in its issue Monday, reported:

"While the crowd sang 'Deutschland Ueber Alles' the pyre burned the symbolic product of the Jewish spirit and foreign civilization, mounting to the heavens in nauseating smoke."
