Full Bonn-Israel Ties Seen
(Continued from Page 1)
ists remained opposed.
Dr. Birrenbach spent most of
last week in Washington, where
he discussed the current Bonn-
Jerusalem crisis with highest
American administration officials,
including Secretary of State Dean
Rusk; McGeorge Bundy, adviser to
President Johnson; William Foster,
chief of United States disarma-
ment, and others.
His American mission was
reportedly concerned primarily
with Bonn's decision to halt
further arms deliveries to Isra-
el. He was recalled from Wash-
ington suddenly, leaving for Is-
rael Sunday when Erhard made
the announcement offering full
diplomatic relations to Israel
`\ and castigating Egypt's Presi-
,___!" dent Nasser but affirming con-
tinuance of Bonn's diplomatic
relations with Cairo.
(On Wednesday, Nasser threat-
ened to seize West German assets
in Egypt if West Germany goes
through with its plans.)
Chancellor Erhard said that the
Bonn government will stop all
economic aid and further credits
to Egypt.
The statement emphasized that
the West German government re-
jects any kind of intervention in
her affairs and particularly in her
relationship with Israel. At the
same time it pointed out that the
granting of diplomatic recognition
to Israel is not directed against
any of the Arab states.
The chancellor's statement
stressed that President Nasser of
) Egypt has jeopardized the tradi-
tional German-Arab friendship and
that the state visit made by Pre-
mier Ulbricht of Communist East
Germany to Egypt, at Nasser's in-
vitation, is bound to influence this
friendship.
The chancellor's statement was
read at an extraordinary press
conference by State Secretary
Karl-Gunther von Hase who de-
clared that the chancellor, empow-
ered by the Federal Republic's
constitution, has spelled out his
government's foreign policy, as
well as his own position.
The statement made it clear
that the policy has been formu-
lated after consultation with Ger- ,
many's pricipal allies — the I
United States, France and Bri-
tain. It noted that all of Ger-
many's political parties repre-
sented in the Bonn Parliament
have been informed of the policy
statement.
(Abba Eban, Israel's deputy
prime minister, said on a televi-
sion interview broadcast from
Washington Sunday night by the
National Broadcasting Company
that it has always been his gov-
ernment's position that establish-
ment of full diplomatic relations
should be considered only after
Germany had taken the initiative
toward such a move. Now that
Bonn has acted, he said, Israel
"should respond."

Arab League Delegates Adopt
Resolutions on Relations With
W. Germany; Nasser Backs Break
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire to
The Jewish News)
LONDON — The conference of
Arab League delegates from 13
states adopted a series of reso-
lutions Tuesday night on relations
with West Germany and its bid to
offer diplomatic recognition to
Israel, it was reported here Wed-
nesday from Cairo.
A communique, which did not
describe the content of the reso-
lutions, said that they were be-
ing referred to the 13 Arab gov-
ernments and that the Arab
foreign ministers would meet in
Cairo Sunday to ratify them.
President Nasser hailed the Ku-
wait National Assembly for pro-
posing an immediate break with
West Germany and establishment
of relations with East Germany
along with a pan-Arab boycott of
West Germany. Nasser told a rally
that the Arabs would win "this
political showdown" with Israel
and West Germany. He added that
"If the Jews win this battle, then
the Arabs' word is valueless and
the Arabs had better go and bury
their faces in the mud." He called
the "showdown" with Bonn the
"first step" toward "the libera-
tion of Palestine."
Jordan recalled its ambassador
from Bonn, as did Saudi Arabia
but the latter country .specified
this was "for consultations."
In Bonn Chancellor Ludwig Er-
hard told his Christian Democra-
tic Party Tuesday that West Ger-
many would not go down on its
knees before Nasser. The chancel-
lor made the statement in com-
menting on the Nasser speech vil-
lifying the West German regime.
British Prime Minister Wilson
Supports Recognition of Israel
BONN (JTA) — British Prime
Minister Harold Wilson told the
press here Tuesday that he sup-
ported fully Chancellor Ludwig,
Erhard's actions in offering diplo-
matic recognition to Israel and
cutting off economic aid to Egypt.
State Secretary Gunther von
Hase, the West German Govern-
ment spokesman, refused at a
press conference to comment on
reports that Chancellor Erhard
would meet with Israel Premier
Levi Eshkol.
He stressed the "positive
echoes" evoked in the world by
the chancellor's action and added
he preferred at the present time
not to give a general appraisal of
the Arab reaction. He revealed
that the West German Cabinet
met Tuesday to hear a report
from Chancellor Erhard on cur-
rent political developments and
the situation in the Middle East.
Hebrew U. Finds
Coronaries Are Rare
Among Bedouins
TEL AVIV—A team from the
Hadassah-Hebrew University Medi-
cal Center recently examined 510
Bedouin men, 30 years and older,
in Israel's Negev Desert, and
found only one case of coronary
thrombosis.
Blood cholesteral was found to
be considerably below that con-
sidered normal in Western popu-
lations and did not increase auto-
matically with aging. In addition,
the Bedouins had no weight prob-
lems.
Most of the 18,000 Bedouins liv-
ing in the Negev rely on periodical
heavy rains to grow wheat and
some barley, which they store for
drought years. Their diet consists
of unleavened bread, milk from
sheep, goats, camels and occasion-
ally donkeys, and butter and
cheese. They never eat fish and
consume few vegetables, fruits or
eggs. Chicken is eaten fairly often,
but sheep or lamb only about once
a month.
Chancellor Erhard's statement
offering diplomatic relations with
Israel was conveyed to the Israeli
mission in Cologne, von Hase said.
He added that the chancellor
views criticisms of his new stand
by the opposition Social Democra-
tic Party as "not very helpful."
The Social Democrats have said
that Dr. Erhard's new policy was
"insufficient" Von Hase re-em-
phasized a point he made in is-
suing the Erhard anouncement to
the effect that the chancellor had
taken the decision on his own re-
sponsibility.
The German Social Democratic
Party. second largest party in
West Germany, declared its oppo-
sition to the West German govern
ment's renunciation of its arms
agreement with Israel and stated
that they favor complete fulfill-
ment of the German government's
arms obligation to Israel.
The Bonn government and West
German industrial circles, mean-
while, started a vigorous cam-
paign to persuade German techni-
cians to quit their jobs in the
Egyptian aircraft and rocket in-
dustry.
In letters and other matter cir-
culated among the hundreds of
West Germans working in Egypt,
the technicians have been warned
against "playing with your life."
The campaign is believed to have
been triggered by the arrest last
week in Cairo of several West
German citizens on espionage
charges.
Earlier, State Secretary Karl
Carstens of the Foreign Office here
told the Parliament that le-
gal proceedings are underway
against agents mobilizing West
German scientists for work in
Egypt. The proceedings are being
prepared by the Nuremberg Cen-
tral Labor Office and are aimed
especially at recruiters who seek
rocket and aircraft experts, he
said. Such recruiting activities
are illegal in West Germany. The
presence of such scientists in
Egypt has been a source of acri-
mony between West Germany and
Israel for several years.
U.S. Did Not Expect Germany
to Give Israel Recognition
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
U.S. Government did not agree
with West Germany's decision to
grant full diplomatic recognition
to Israel because of fear in Wash-
ington of Arab responses, it was
learned from authoritative gov-
ernment sources.
The Bonn announcement came
as a surprise to the State Depart-
ment which had hoped that Bonn
would not make such a move at
this time. The department is cur-
rently seeking to improve relations
with the Arabs, especially with
President Nasser of Egypt.
Asked if the State Department
favored the normalization of dip-
lomatic relations between West
Germany and Israel, State De-
partment spokesman Marshall
Wright declined to comment. He
said "we consider this something
for the government of the Federal
Republic of Germany to decide."
A highly-placed source within
the administration revealed that
the department's main strategy
now is aimed at mending relations
with the Nasser regime and pre-
venting a break between Bonn and
Cairo.
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The re-
mains of a temple dating back to
the sixth century before the open-
ing of the Christian era have been
f ound in archeological diggings
near Arad, in the middle of the
Negev Desert, not far from the
Dead Sea.
The excavations there have been
under way for several years. Also
discovered by this archeological
expedition were messages in He-
brew, most of them dealing with
