Israel police meanwhile set up a 24-hour watch on the Sheraton Hotel in Tel Aviv, where three West German officials, the van- guard of the West German em- bassy staff are now staying. The officials entered the hotel Wednes- day. Dr. Toeroek, who was due to arrive Wednesday, put off his arrival for a few days and is now expected to arrive today. In Bonn, the West German foreign ministry denied Wednesday that Dr. Toeroek had been con- cerned with the Nazi plans for the deportation of Hungarian Jews to the death camps. The ministry confirmed the Jerusalem reports that the form- er Hungarian diplomat, now a naturalized German citizen, had served in Hungary's Berlin em- bassy between December 1944 and May 1945. That was precisely the period during which the Nazis were deporting Jews from Hun- gary. The Ministry said, however, he had no relationships "formally or intellectually" with the Nazi party or with the Hungarian Fascist Party. Die Welt, influential Hamburg daily newspaper, said Wednesday that although it was wrong to con- nect with the Nazi plans for depor- tation of Jews every diplomat who had served in Berlin during the regime of Admiral Horthy, leader of the Hungarian government, "it is not surprising that many Israelis, particularly those from Hungary have the greatest mistrust for a man who was occupied with state business at a time when Jews were fighting for their lives. ("Emotions," stated the news- paper, "are also a factor. Perhaps Bonn could have paid more atten- tion to this in choosing the staff for the Tel Aviv embassy.") Formal acceptance of his ap- pointment now awaits approval by Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's foreign minister. The foreign ministry has decided that the Israel embassy in West Germany will be set up in Bonn. Consular commercial departments will be set in Cologne. Meanwhile, another demonstra- tion was staged here, demanding that the Israel government recon- sider its acceptance of Dr. Rolf Pauls as Germany's ambassador designate. Participating in the demonstration were members of organizations composed of former partisans, ghetto fighters, concen- tration camp inmates and survivors injured by the Nazis. Dr. Pauls is scheduled to arrive next Wednes- day. "We who defended the honor of our people," the organizers of the joint demonstration told the Israel government, "speaking in the name of 6,000,000 who died in the holocaust, will never accept this desecration of Israel's honor." The principal objection to Dr. Pauls is due to the fact that he 4 Israelis Hurt as Jeep Hits Mine in Corridor TEL AVIV — Four members of the Israel border police were in- jured, one seriously, when the jeep in which they were making a rou- tine border patrol Tuesday night in the Jerusalem Corridor stuck a mine which exploded. The mine was believed to have been planted by members of the El Fatah terrorist organization, cur- rently believed to be operating from Jordnian territory. The mine had been placed about a half mile from the Jordanian border.

Rev. Gruber's appeals against t h e demonstrations illustrated growing West German concern about the kind of reception Dr. Pauls may receive in Tel Aviv when he arrives there to take up his post. The Rev. Heinrich Grueber, the Lutheran clergyman noted for his anti-Nazi activities dur- ing the war, and the only Ger- man called by the Israeli prose- cution to testify at the trial of the late Adolf Eichmann, ap- pealed for a cessation of the demonstrations that have been staged in Israel against the ac- ceptance of Dr. Pauls. In Berlin, Dr. Pauls paid a visit to leaders of the Jewish community, which is the largest in any of the West German cities. He also attended services in the synagogue there. In a letter to, Israel's foreign minister, Golda Meir, Rev. Grueber appealed to her to try to - see to it that "the demonstrations cease, since they are prejudicing Israel's own interests and the work of Israel's friends in Germany." At the same time, the 73-year- old clergyman, whom the Nazis de- ported to a concentration camp for having rescued Jewish children, sent a similar appeal to the Asso- ciation of Former Concentration Camp Inmates in Israel. He of- fered to come to Israel "to discuss ii During the services, Rabbi Dr. Lehrman, spiritual leader of the congregation, praised Dr. Pauls as "the spokesman for a new genera- tion of Germans, who wishes to establish a better and more pro- gressive era." The congregation included Dr. Pauls in a special prayer, lauding him as "a true ambassador of good will and atonement." „ I Raz of Safed.
