BONN — Asher Ben - Nathan,
Israel's first ambassador to West
Germany, said Tuesday in an inter-
view with the German press agency
that he favored a youth exchange
between Israel and West Germany,
adding that he felt the present
generation of German youth was
not responsible for the crimes of
their fathers during Hitler's Third
Reich.
He also referred to West Ger-
man pledges to provide economic
aid to Israel which were incorpor-
ated in the talks leading to the
Exchange of diplomatic relations
and said he hoped negotiations
would be satisfactory to both sides.

He said he had come to West
Germany to facilitate mutual

open language" and to attain
good political and economic con-
tacts. He said he favored part-
icularly West German-Israeli
cooperation in the cultural
sphere.

The envoy declared that there
were possibilities of improving rela-
tions between the two countries
in the cultural area step by step.
Discussing his impressions of
his month in Bonn as envoy, he
said "I have found a friendly wel-
come and I have been treated very
well. Everywhere I have had the
possibility of free and open talks
about our problemS."

1. "I'll always remember the day I was practicing on my
violin in front of a roaring fire when my father walked in and
was furious. We didn't have a fireplace . .."
2. "When I was an infant, I cried incessantly, but my mother
insisted she wouldn't change me for a million. Papa said 'Maybe
if you'd change him, he'd stop crying.' "

consider electric heat

Give your new room its own heating system—a modern flameless.
electric heating system. Electric heat is clean, comfortable, per-
fectly controllable. Simply dial the warmth you want and you get
it exactly—without stealing heat from the rest of the house. How
much will electric heat cost to install and operate? That depends
on your particular home. One thing sure, it won't cost you a cent
to find out. An Edison Heating Specialist will gladly come out to
discuss equipment and cost of operation with you. No obligation
