Israeli Survivors. Protest Against Bonn Envoys
(Continued from Page 1)
tors. In Ramat Gan, police arrested
and later released on bail, 15 mem-
bers of Hashomer Hatzair on sus-
picion of defacing public property.
Six others were arrested in Haifa
for demonstrations and distributing
leaflets against Dr. Pauls.
The yellow Star of David with
the letter "J" in the center,
replicas of the emblem the Nazis
forced their Jewish captives to
wear, was painted on streets and
highways in Ramat Gan, Beer-
sheba, Tiberias, Acre and West-
ern Galilee. Slogans 'protesting
against the envoy were found in
Tiberias.
Dr. Toeroek arrived at Lydda
Airport Saturday night. With him
were three secretaries for the em-
assy.
To protect the German embassy,
the special security unit has mount-
ed machine guns on the roof of the
Sheraton Hotel, and policemen
equipped with telescopes will keep
day-and-night watch. Detectives
carrying submachine guns and
walkie-talkie radios, accompanied
by police dogs, are on watch on
the hotel grounds. One yeshiva
student caught with a telescope
through which he was watching the
diplomatic suite at the hotel was
arrested today.
The Sheraton Hotel suite where
Dr. Toeroek opened -the embassy
will be a temporary facility. The
embassy's permanent quarters will
be on the 27th floor of a 32-story
building being completed here, Is-
rael's tallest skyscraper.
Police began an investigation
into a fire which destroyed all
musical instruments of the Israel
Police Band which had been
chosen to play the West German
national anthem when Dr. Pauls
presents his credentials as West
Germany's first ambassador to
Israel.
A police spokesman said that
musical notes for the anthem also
were destroyed in the blaze Aug.
4, in the band building. Police are
seeking to determine whether the
fire was accidental or deliberate.
Black smoke poured from a
memorial in the form of a Nazi
crematorium during a protest
meeting held in a cemetery here
against the establishment of Is-
raeli diplomatic relations.
The meeting, held at the Tre-
blinka Memorial in the N a h l a t
Yitzhak Cemetery also was in pro-
test against the appointment of
Dr. Pauls.
Pessah Bernstein, leader- of the
Committee of Association of Holo-
caust Victims, told the gathering
that "Germany has not changed.
The Bonn government could not
find anyone bearing less of the Hit-
leri an strain than Pauls who
served in the Wehrmacht and
Toeroek who was in the Hungarian
embassy in Berlin."
A silent protest was held to-
night at Kfar Dizengoff against Dr.
Pauls' arrival. Yellow Stars of
David were distributed to the par-
ticipants.
Meanwhile, Dr. Toeroek made
an unpublicized protocol visit
onday to the foreign ministry
office in Jerusalem where he
sivir
met Y. Gaulan, Israel's chief of
protocol. After the meeting, he
made a brief tour of Jerusalem
and then returned to Tel Aviv.
The precise date of Dr. Paul's
arrival remained unknown but it
was assumed he would arrive
this week.
It was disclosed that the Israel
Police Band will be able to per-
form the German national anthem
When Dr. Pauls presents his cre-
dentials to President Shazar. At
the request of the foreign office,
the army band has loaned the
Police Band enough instruments
for it to carry out the assignment.
The mass circulation newspaper
'Bild" which has the largest circu-
Iation in West Germany, declared
editorially that although the two
diplomats appeared to have had
no connection with Nazism or any
other political party "the choice ,
.
in itself was most unwise." The
"Bild" contended that the Bonn
foreign ministry should have con-
sidered the special sensitivity of
Israel toward all matters related
to Nazism and the Hitler period
and should have selected more ap-
propriate persons.
The newspaper added "Did we
not have young efficient diplomats
who were not born or who were
children in Hitler's time? Do we
not have politicians or diplomats
who took an active stand against
Hitler? Why don't we send these
people to Israel?" The respected
"Suddeutsche Zeitung" declared
that the foreign ministry had
lacked a sense of proportion in the
two appointments. •
Meanwhile the West German
press and broadcasting services
widely publicized an Israel govern-
ment announcement that "nothing
wrong had been found in Dr. Toe-
roek's past." It was understood
here that the Israeli announce-
ment was based on a full report
sent to Jerusalem by the Israeli
Mission in Cologne which investi-
gated in depth Dr. Toeroeks' past.
According to the foreign minis-
try sources, Dr. Toeroek was never
a member of the Nazi party or of
its counterpart in Hungary, when
he served as a Hungarian diplomat
in Berlin during World War II.
He became a naturalized German
citizen in 1950. The clarification,
the sources said, also showed that
the diplomat had never been in-
volved in any actions against Jews.

Smearer of Anti-Jewish
Slogans in Bamberg. May
Get 5 Years in Prison
BAMBERG (JTA) — A prison
sentence of up to five years was
predicted by Chief Prosecutor
Josef Ostheimer for 20-year-old
Reinhard Woitzik, -who confessed
that he had smeared the anti- Semi-
tic slogans and swastikas on
dozens of tombstones in the Barn-
berg Jewish cemetery and on a
monument to the synagogue razed
by the Nazis. The youth, whose
father had been a member of Hit-
ler's SS elite guard, will receive a
psychiatric examination.
Police said the youth, who was
fired as a dental technician when
he f ailed in an examination,
thought his employer was a Jew,
and blamed him for his dismissal.
The employer, whose office is • in
a synagogue building, is not Jew-
ish.
The youth's room was found to
be a shrine to the memory of Hit-
ler and the headquarters of Woit-
ziks' one-man neo-Nazi movement.
The room was filled with pictures
of Hitler, records of Hitler's
speeches, recordings of Nazi
speeches Woitzik had hoped to de-
liver, and a diary modeled on Hit-
ler's "Mein Kampf." In his confes-
sion, Woitzik said he hated Jews.

BONN—Trial will begin in Bonn
criminal court Sept. 21 of 10 for-
mer members of one of the Ein-
satz Commando units which exe-
cuted thousands of civilians and
suspected partisans in the wake of
Hitler's conquering legions in
World War II.
The former members: of Einsatz
squad four are charged with the
murder of 10 slave laborers and
six Jews in December 1944 and
February 1945. They include sev-
eral Germans now holding civil
service posts in West Germany,
as well as a police major in Mann-
heim, Arthur Hennecke. A charge
of premeditated murder has been
filed against Hennecke.
Among the other nine defen-
dants charged with having aided
Hennecke in the 16 murders are
a number of other police officers.
To help insure sentencing the
prosecution has decided to try the
defendants for specific crimes.

Farbstein Hits State Dept.;
Williams Replies, "Nonsense"
WASHINGTON (JTA) — R e p.
Leonard Farbstein, a member of
the House Foreign Affairs Com-
mittee, criticized the State Depart-
ment for finding it necessary to
make "demeaning apologies" to
Arab states regarding the appoint-
ment of Arthur J. Goldberg as
ambassador to the United Nations.
Meanwhile, G. Mennen Williams,
assistant secretary of state for
African affairs, issued a statement
taking issue with charges by the
Republican Congressional Commit-
tee that he apologized, in effect,
to North African diplomats.
Williams said that any charac-
terization of his consultations with
envoys on the appointment of
Arthur J. Goldberg as "appeasing
the Arabs" was "nonsense." He
pointed out that it has been his
practice to call on African am-
bassadors to discuss all important
matters, including the United Na-
tions."
"Among other things, the fact
that our new ambassador to the
UN had visited Africa and had an
understanding of the problem of
Africa's underdeveloped countries
was a matter of considerable in-
terest to them that was not very
readily available to them in other
ways," said Williams. He added
that "this was an action I would
have taken under similar circum-
stances with a new ambassador,
whether his name was Goldberg or
Smith."
"Anyone who tries to character-
ize this as apologizing either is
unaware of the usual courtesies
extended to African ambassadors
or is trying to make something
out of nothing," he declared in his
statement.
