Eshkol Asks Germans
Halt Scientists Working
on Weapons for Egypt
BONN (JTA) — Israeli Pre-
mier Levi Eshkol expressed the
hope that West Germany would
put a stop to the activities of
ex-Nazi scientists working on
non-conventional weapons for
the United Arab Republic. Ap-
pearing over a West German
television network, in an inter-
view broadcast __throu-g,hout —the
Federal Republic, Eshkol ex-
pressed satisfaction over a reso-
lution submitted recently to the
West German parliament, call-
ing for legislative action to get
the scientists out of Egypt.
"We expect the resolution to
be followed by action as fast
as possible, and we are sure that
our expectations are shared by
others too," the Premier said.
He declared that anyone who
helps Israel's enemies prepare-
her destruction is "an accessory
to crime," concluding: • "When
this is being done by sons of
the German people, on whom
rests the responsibility for the
murder of 6,000,000 Jews, the
crime is infinitely bigger, and
weighs infinitely more."

Israel to Turn Down China's
Bid on Nuclear Free Zone
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
Israel government was expected
to turn down a request by Com-
munist China's Prime Minister
Chou en-Lai to join a world
move to set up nuclear-free
zones and for dismantling of all
military bases on foreign soil.
The request was received here a
week ago, discussed by Israel's
Cabinet, and was the subject of
a conference between Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol and -For-
eign Minister Golda Meir.
While the contents of the
planned reply were not dis-
closed, it was understood that
Israel will tell the Chinese lead-
er that the danger of peace in
the Middle East region stems
not from nuclear weapons but
from the continuous flow of
conventional arms to Egypt.
China will be told, it is under-
stood, that Israel favors com-
plete disarmament on a global
scale, as well as disarmament
for the Middle East, with ade-
quate means of inspection for
the attainment of peace.
Arab Bishop of Anglican
Church Sees Possibility
of War Against Israel
TORONTO, (JTA) — The An-
glican bishop of Jordan, Leba-
non and Syria asserted here
that, if the Arabs cannot get a
solution to the Palestine prob-
lem by peaceful means, "they
may be driven to war."
The Rt. Rev. Najib Cuba'in,
here to attend the Third World
Congress o f t h e Anglican
Church, of which he is the only
Arab bishop, said Israel's
transigence" is pushing the
Middle East toward a ner - con-
filet.
He said war is the last thing
any Arab, including Egtian
President Gamal Abdel Nasser,
wants. However, he contended,
all Arabs are united in desiring
"repatriation" of the Palestine
refugees and Israel's withdrawal
to the boundaries set by the
United Nations in 1947.
