tion to agree to the exchange of
ambassadors with West Germany
He said that normalization of re-
lations between the two nations
was one of the "major tasks" of
current West German foreign pol-
icy. Karl-Guenther von Hase, the
West German press spokesman,
expressed regret over the Jeru-
salem protests, and added that his
government hoped that relations
with Israel would now settle down
to normal conditions. West Ger-
man correspondents in Israel sent
back heavy coverage of Thurs-
day's clash, with photographs.
West German television stations
also gave wide coverage to the
event.
Only Three Are Held
for Trial After Riot
JERUSALEM (JTA) — All but
three of the 15 demonstrators ar-
rested during Thursday's riots,
when the new West German am-
bassador presented his credentials
to President Zalman Shazar, were
released. Police will probably
charge the remaining three with
unlawful assembly and interfering
with a police officer in the carry-
ing out of his duties.
The Israel government request-
ed its mission in Cologne to send
to it the complete text of the state-
ment attributed to Eric Mende,
the West German vice-chancellor,
calling the Jerusalem demonstra-
tions against the German envoy a
resort to "noxious Communist-
Fascist methods."
More than 1,000 demonstrators
clashed with police in Jerusalem
and turned the presentation of
credentials by Dr. Pauls as West
Germany's first ambassador to
Israel into a bloody riot.
The clash occurred when a
group of the demonstrators broke
through a police cordon at almost
the exact moment that Dr. Pauls
alighted from the limousine which
President Shazar had sent for him.
The shouting crowd surged toward
the car, and the first police road-
block was tumbled. Mounted po-
lice held in reserve on nearby

streets then moved into the crowd
with swinging clubs.
At that point, some of the
demonstrators had almost
reached Pauls, who was inspect-
ing an Israeli Army guard of
honor. Blocked by the mounted
police, the demonstrators began --
throwing stones at the police.
The rain of missiles and police
clubs resulted in the injuries.
A pale Dr. Pauls, and his
staff, started to enter the presi-
dent's home. The Germany envoy
was met on the steps by the Presi-
dent's aide-de-camp, Col. Raz. Dr.
Pauls inspected the Israeli Guard
of Honor quickly, then entered the
house, followed by his aides. One
of them was Dr. Alexander Toe-
roek, a Hungarian who became a
German citizen. His appointment
as counsellor to the West German
embassy in Israel touched off a
storm because he had been a Hun-
garian diplomat in Berlin when
the Nazis were deporting Jews to
death camps.
Inside the President's home, the
ceremony of the presentation of
the German's formal letters of
credence proceeded. Among the
participants were Mrs. Golda
Israel's foreign minister.
Dr. Pauls, speaking in German,
told President Shazar: "The Ger-
man. people attach great impor-
tance to the establishment of dip-
loniatic relations between our two
countries. The new Germany looks
back in sadness and abhorrence
on the hideous crimes of the Na-
tional Socialist regime which
caused so much suffering, mainly
to the Jewish people." The en-
voy's speech was translated into
Hebrew by Israel's protocol chief,
Yehuda Gaulan. Dr. Pauls handed
the president a large envelope,
containing his credentials. Then
President Shazar replied, in He-
brew.
Israel's president declared in
his address, which Gaulan later
translated into English, that he
was "greatly gratified to have
received from you the letter of
credence by which the President
of the Federal Republic of Ger-
many accredits you as your
country's first ambassador to
Israel."
"All of us are profoundly aware
of the special significance of this
political act," the president con-
tinued. "In the proposal made by
the Federal Republic for estab-
lishing full diplomatic relations,
and in Israel's acceptance of this
proposal, there is striking testi-
mony to the vastness of changes
that have taken place since the
time of what Your Excellency has
so justly described as hideous
crimes.
"It is only 20 years since the
surviving remnant of my people
was rescued from the concentra-
tion camps and the fiery furnaces
which the Nazi regime devised to

exterminate all Jews in all lands it
subjugated. The memory of those
horrors and their victims is alive
in the minds of our generation,
and will never be forgotten by us
nor obliterated from the con-
science of decent men everywhere
as long as sanctity of life and prin-
ciples of justice are revered by
humanity.
"Even in the most evil days of
the holocaust, tortured and •af-
flicted, my people never lost their
sense of human dignity nor their
unshakeable belief in the future.
From this root stemmed the hero-
ism which surged up in the death
camps, in the ghetto revolts and
in the struggle for Jewish inde-
pendence in our ancient father-
land."
Shazar told Dr. Pauls that the
submission of his letter of cre-
dence "in Jerusalem, .capital of
the State of Israel, is proof that
chaos does not last forever, and
that even the darkest of nights
must end with the coming of the
dawn. Precisely because of the
lesson of the bitter past, it is
incumbent upon us to concen-
trate our energies upon the fu-
ture, so that the disseminators
of hatred may be cut off and
the spirit of that evil period may
never come to life again."
After the translation of the
speech, the president shook hands
with Dr. Pauls. The envoy kissed
the hand of Mrs. Meir, and shook
hands with the other Israeli offi-
cials present. He then introduced
his aides. Finally, the President,
the envoy and the others present
sat down to drink the traditional
Jewish toast, "l'hayim," and to
chat briefly.
It was noticed that the presi-
dent was visibly agitated during
the ceremony. Mrs. Meir kept
her gaze on the floor throughout
the speeches.
Meanwhile, a ceremony of a dif-
ferent kind was held outside the
president's home. A survivor of
the holocaust, whose entire family
was murdered by the Nazis, blew
a shofar. An elderly rabbi read
aloud from the Book of Psalms.
Others yelled slogans.
When Dr. Pauls emerged from
the ceremony, which lasted 40
minutes, the area had been almost
cleared. But shouting was still
audible. It rose to high pitch when
Dr. Pauls paused to listen to the
playing of Hatikvah by the Israel
Police Band. Dr. Pauls shook
