fact, contributes to the danger
of war." He said that "aside from
conservation of our resources
and protection of our economic
interests, it is high time to put a
stop to such an immoral and
blundering policy."
According to Rep. Miller, "the
impending union between Egypt,
Syria and Iraq, under the lead-
ership of President Nasser,
should be the occasion for a
critical new look at the U. S.
foreign aid program in the Near
East." Other Republican leaders
likewise indicated in recent
days, owing to the Egyptian mis-
sile build-up, that they will in-
ject this issue into the debate on
the Foreign Aid Bill now pend-
ing.
Senator Hugh Scott, Pennsyl-
vania Republican, issued a state-
ment criticizing the State De-
partment f o r "doing almost
nothing" to alleviate "the po-
tentially explosive situation" in
the Middle East. Sen. Scott is
one of six Senators who wrote to
President Kennedy urging his
intervention with the West Ger-
man Government against per-
mitting German nuclear scien-
tists to build missiles in Egypt.
Each of • the six anxious Sen-
ators received a reply signed by
W. Averell Harriman, Under
Secretary of State, saying that
Egypt is "seeking to create its
own source of fighter aircraft,
using Western resources, and is
trying to reduce its current, al-
most total reliance on the Soviet
for military . equipment." He
added that the German citizens
working on the Egyptian rocket
program "are few in number"
and that "it is by no means cer-
tain they would all obey a sum-
mons from their government to
return home."
"You can rest assured," Harri-
man wrote, "that we have a deep
and continuing interest in the
security of Israel and other Mid-
dle Eastern states. I can say
without any hesitation or quali-
fication that a constant priority
3 Ex-Nazi Policemen
Will Stand Trial for
Killing 100,000 Jews
FRANKFURT, (JTA) — The
Freiburg public prosecutor's of-
fice announced that three for-
mer Nazi police officers will go
on trial here on charges of com-
plicity in the murder of some
10,000 Jews in Nazi-occupied
Russia during the war.
The defendants are Joseph
Uhl, 54, Gerhard Riebel, 48, and
Heinz Gerd Huelsemann, 44. The
killing took place in Bialystok,
Minsk and Mogilew. The trial is
expected to start in May and
some 80 witnesses will be called
to testify.
The trial of former Nazi
euthanasia specialist Werner
Heyde and two co-defendants,
originally slated to begin in the
Limburg jury court on April 23,
has been postponed until the
late summer or fall, officials
here announced. No reason was
given for the postponement.
Heyde is charged with the
murder of at least 100,000 per-
sons in the Nazi program of dis-
posing of individuals deemed to
be too sick or old.
Shrinks Hemorrhoids
Without Surgery
Stops Itch—Relieves Pain
For the first time science has found
a new healing substance with the as-
tonishing ability to shrink hemor-
rhoids and to relieve pain — without
surgery. In case after case, while
gently relieving pain, actual reduc-
tion (shrinkage) took place. Most
amazing of all — results were so thor-
ough that sufferers made astonishing
statements like "Piles have ceased to
be a problem!" The secret is a new
healing substance (Bio-Dyne®)— dis-
covery of a world-famous research
institute. This substance is now avail-
able in suppository or ointment form
called Preparation H®. At all drug
counters.
emphasis of the Department of
State is on measures to reduce
Middle East tensions. Many of
our efforts are well known, but
many more are necessarily
shielded from public view."
Earlier, Harriman, in a letter
to Rep. Leonard Farbstein,
(N. Y., D.), a member of the
House Foreign Affairs Commit.
tee, responding to a warning
that the Egyptian armament pro-
gram, assisted by the Germans,
could lead to war, stated, in be-
half of the State Department,
that the United States "cannot
consider the United Arab Re-
public alone for Israel, too, has
its own missile program."
Answering Rep. Farbstein's
request for American interces-
sion, Harriman expressed the
opinion that removal of German
rocket scientists from Egypt
might cause their replacement
"by Soviet bloc personnel, equal-
ly qualified in such work, again
forcing the UAR into greater re-
liance on the USSR."
Harriman said: "Frankly, the
matter goes beyond the domes-
tic programs of the UAR and
the role played by German sci-
entists who number perhaps
some 300. Of these, 10 or so are
employed in the rocket program
and the remainder in the jet en-
gine and air frame program. It
is by no means clear that the
development of the supersonic
jet trainer and jet fighter in the
UAR or in Israel would affect
seriously the security situation
in the Near East. The UAR has
been able to • obtain high per-
formance jet fighters from the
USSR and Israel has similarly
supplied itself from Western
sources, notably France."
The Undersecretary pointed
out that "the UAR, in seeking
to create its own source of fight-
er aircraft, using Western re-
sources, is seeking to reduce its
current almost total reliance on
the Soviet for military equip-
ment." He said that "withdrawal
of most of the Germans working
on the jet engines and air
frames would not be likely to
put an end to these UAR proj-
ects."
Harriman said that in the
United States Government's pur-
suit of Near Eastern peace it
was guided by the necessity "for
dealing even-handedly with all
the states concerned and for pro-
tecting and advancing United
States interests."
He said that peace in that
area had a "constant priority
emphasis" in the State Depart-
ment. Some efforts, he said, "are
necessarily shielded from pub-
lic view." Noting that both Is-
rael and the UAR had increased
their armament, he said the
United States was concerned
about this arms spiral and intro-
duction of mass destruction and
sophisticated offensive weapons.
The Washington Post, a news-
paper which generally supports
the State Department's thinking
on the Arab-Israel issue, pub-
lished a leading editorial differ-
ing sharply with the views of
Under Secretary Harriman, who
sought to justify the continued
work in Egypt of German mis-
sile scientists in his reply to six
Senators who expressed anxiety
over the work.
The Post said editorially that
Harriman had said, in effect:
"That alarm over German scien-
tists in the United Arab Repub-
lic was exaggerated—after all,
if the Germans were not there,
Egypt would be more dependent
on the Soviet Union for develop-
ing missiles and jet aircraft."
The Post commented that "this
comes close to arguing that we
should be grateful for the Soviet
forces in Cuba because, other-
wise, there might be a Chinese
army in the Caribbean."
"What is missing in Harri-
man's note—and indeed in most
of the lofty State Department
utterances on the Middle East—
is any real feeling for the plight
of Israel. Here is a tiny country
wholly surrounded by nations
that have ,sworn its elimination.
The UAR, now flushed- with po-
litical success in Iraq and Syria,
is on the verge of developing
ground-to-ground missiles that
could rain terror on Israel. It is
of small comfort to Israel that
these may be good, non-Commu-
nist missiles developed with the
help of Germans so thoroughly
anti-Russian that some of them
worked for Hitler," the Post de-
clared.
The newspaper said the State
Department had responsed "in-
adequately" to American anxiety
about missiles in the Near. East.
"The air surely ought to be
cleared, and quickly, by a reas-
sertion of American interest in
the continued security of Israel,"
it stressed. It charged that "the
United States has leaned over
backwards to encourage cordial
relations with President Nasser
and all other Arab states." Also
that "Washington has crawled
out on a limb to demonstrate
good faith toward Arab national-
ism."
According to the Post,
"ground-to-ground missiles would
place Israel at a perilous disad-
vantage, even if conventional
bombs were lodged in their
nose." If Nasser develops an op-
erational offensive missile, then
there will be no alternative but
to see that Israel has an ade-
quate deterrent capacity too, the
paper pointed out.
The State Department was ac-
cused of mouthing "lifeless
platitudes" about Israel's secu-
rity. The immediate task of
American diplomacy was seen
as exploration of means to cur-
tail arms shipments to the Near
East on a multilateral basis.
This, said the editorial. could
even include i n f or in al ap-
proaches to the Soviet Union.
"The world would breathe
easier if both offensive missiles
and nuclear devices were "ruled
out of the region under an
agreement that provided effec-
tive inspection. This should be
the goal of American policy,"
said the editorial: The newspa-
per held that "it ought to be
made clear that, if all attempts
at regional arms control fail,
Israel will get the help it needs
and not just snappish lectures
about 'worrisome complicated
problems.' "
(The New York Post said in
an editorial: "There is a ten-
dency in some Administration
quarters to dismiss questions
about the German scientists
working on rockets for Egypt
with the warning that, if the
Germans are pushed out, Soviet
experts would move in. This re-
ply will hardly comfort Israel or
reassure anyone concerned
about peace and stability in the
Middle East. What is missing is
any indication that the U. S. has
approached the Soviet Union in
an effort to find out .whether it
might be prepared to join in an
agreement to keep the Middle
East free of weapons of mass
destruction. Such a probe,
backed by the warning that Is-
rael will get the weapons it
needs if Russia and Egypt spurn
an arms control pact, could con-
ceivably bring results.")
German Scientists in
Egypt Willing to Testify
About Their Work
LONDON (JTA) — German
scientists working in Egypt on
that country's program for de-
velopment of nonconventional
weapons intended for use
against Israel have written to
West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer, requesting an op-
portunity to explain their work
in person before the West Ger-
man Parliament, according to a
Cairo dispatch.
The letters had been sent re-
portedly by 93 German scien-
tists, including at least three
whose names had figured in the
recent revelations about Egypt's
weaponry program, being car-
ried on with the help of German
scientists. Among the letter-
writers reported were Dr. Jens
Goerke, whose daughter Heidi
had caused the recent arrest at
Basle, Switzerland, of an Israeli,
Joseph Ben-Gal, and an Aus-
trian, Dr. Otto Jukelik.- She had
charged them with "threaten-
ing" her unless she persuaded
her father to quit the work in
Egypt.
Other reported signers were
Dr. Hans Kleinwaechter, who es-
caped an attempt at his assas-
sination recently in Germany,
near the Austrian border; and
Dr. Wolfgang Pilz. The latter's
secretary was blinded at Cairo
recently when she opened a
package mailed to her employer
from Hamburg. The package had
contained an explosive device.
All of the 93 who sent letters
to Dr. Adenauer requested a
parliamentary probe into their
activities and volunteered to
come to Bonn to testify if they
were guaranteed German gov-
ernmnet protection.
