,____Asrael Accuses Jordan in Planting

of Explosives Under Railroad Tracks

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

TEL AVIV — Israel lodged a
complaint against Jordan Tuesday
before the Jordanian-Israeli Mixed
Armistice Commission, accusing,
the Amman government of respon-
sibility for the near-fatal planting
of explosives discovered Monday
under the tracks of the Haifa-
Jerusalem Railroad, a few minutes
before a Jerusalem-bound train
was to pass over the spot.
Large loss of life could have re-
sulted if the discovery had not
been made in time.
Israel told the Mixed Armistice
Commission that the explosives,
weighing about nine pounds, were
found at a spot only about 67
feet from the Jordanian border.
The Israeli border patrol unit
which found the explosives traced
an electric wire leading from the
potential site of the blast extend-
ing about 35 feet into the Jordan-
ian side of the border.
In its complaint, Israel blamed
El Fatah Terrorists for the at-
tempted attack but held Jordan
responsible for harboring the El
Fatah sabotage gang.
The night before, El Fatah Arab
infiltrators set off a charge of ex-
plosives in a house occupied by a
new immigrant family in Givat
Yeshayahu in the Adulam area,
some five miles from the Jordanian
frontier.
The house was badly damaged,
but the 52-year-old owner and his
wife, who were asleep at the time
of the explosion, were not injured.
Earlier, a foreign ministry
spokesman criticized the U.S.
Department of State for "unjust.

Germany 'Defers'
Indemnification

(Continued from Page 1)
The negotiations for payment to
the group of victims of Nazism
known as "post-1953 claimants"
began four years ago. The Confer-
ence on Jewish Material Claims
Against Germany urged that West
Germany compensate those vic-
tims of Nazism who could not es-
cape from Eastern countries to
file claims before the cut-off date
of Oct. 1, 1953, putting them on an
equal footing with other victims
of Nazism already provided for.
After intensive talks, West Ger-
many's government finally agreed
last spring to set up a special
"hardship fund" of 600,000,000
marks ($150,000,000) to take care
of compensating this group.
The Conference continued to
negotiate and finally succeeded in
doubling the amount to the equiva-
lent of $300,000,000. World organi-
zations of victims of Nazism ap-
plauded that arrangement. That
was the sum put into the amend-
ment to Germany's Federal In-
demnification law passed in June
by Germany's parliament.
In order to make sure that the
amounts paid would be equit-
ably distributed among the
claimants, it was provided that
the "hardship fund" would be
paid in installments. The first
installment, amounting to 550,-
000,000, was due to be paid otit
of Bonn's 1966 budget.
It is that first installment that
is likely to be deferred under the
finance minister's proposal. The
"post-1953" claimants are esti-
mated to include 150,000 Jewish
victims of Nazism.
The Central Council of Jews in
Germany sent a telegram Tuesday
to Chancellor Ludwig Erhard re-
questing that there be no delay in
the payment of indemnification to
victims of Nazism.

his past membership in the Arrow
Cross made in the Communist
press in Budapest. Although Dr.
Toerock is now a naturalized Ger-
man citizen, he was a Hungarian
during the war and represented
Hungary in the Berlin Foreign
Office during the Nazi regime.
However, he has consistently
denied any membership in any
Nazi organization, pointing out that
a diplomat representing a country
in a totalitarian state is not respon-
sible for the politics of the country
to which he is accredited.
