BONN (JTA) — Israel's former Prime - Minister David Ben-Gurion who, over many years, had many dealings with the late Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, attended Dr. Adenauer's state funeral Tuesday. With him was Felix Shinnar. Foreign Minister Abba Eban ar- rived a • few hours before Ben- Gurion came in, and both were temporary guests at the home of ISraers Ambassador ,Asher Ben- Nathan at the Bonn suburb of Bad Godesburg. Although the funeral participants included President Johnson and President de Gaulle, the German press focused much attention on the fact that Ben-Gurion had come here for the funeral. Among the first orficial mourners to arrive was Dr. Nahum Goldmann, presi- dent of the World Jewish Congress. He laid a wreath of white lillies and red carnations at the foot of the catafalque in the cabinet room of the federal chancellor's office here which had been occupied for so many years by Dr. Adenauer. Dr. II. G. Van Dam, general • secretary of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, issued a statement on behalf of organ- ized German Jewry, mourning the passing of Dr. Adenauer. On behalf of the council, Dr. Van Dam stated: "Dr. Adenauer had in his time helped the es- tablishment of this central and unified representative body of German Jews, and had taken a personal interest" in it." you want proof?
