Fighting Breaks Out Within
NRP Over Successor
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Infighting
among leaders of the National
Religious Party over a successor
to Haim Moshe Shapiro as minis-
ter of the interior get under way
even as Mr. Shapiro was buried
Sunday on Mount Scopus, overlook-
ing the Old City.
Thousands of mourners filed
past the bier as it lay in state out-
side the convention center, and
It has been proposed that Mr.
Shapiro s post — by far the most
irrip-,mant of the NRP's three por-
fol.cs—be given to Dr. Raphael's
opponent. Dr. Burg. But Dr. Israel
Ben-heir, deputy minister of the
interior and the head of the anti-
Raphael forces within the party.
is opposed to such a Plan.
The NRP is in a difficult posi-
tion now, because it was Mr.
Shapiro'', personal prestige that
held the various factions together.
and without his conciliating influ-
ence. latent rivalries are rising to
the surface unchecked.
Mr. Shapiro's conciliatory skills
also made possible the longtime
cooperation bet- seen the ideologic-
ally opposed Labor Party of Golda
Mtir and the NI:P.
Considered a foreign
policy
"dove." Mr. Shapiro was instru-
mental in persuading Premier
Levi Eshkol to take a political
enemy, Gen. Moshe Dayan, and
the rightist Gahal faction into
the government as part of the
broad coalition. As for Mr. Sha-
piro's world presidency of Miz-
rachi, party circles are suggest-
ing that it be left vacant for now-
The world executive of Mizrachi-
Hapoel Harnizrachi held a memo-
rial meeting here last Friday which
was addressed by Deputy Execu-
tive Chairman Bezalel Bazah.
The speaker said the late leader
had "from the earliest time of his
youth devoted himself to the land
of Israel, the Torah of Israel, the
people of Israel and the state of
Israel. He represented our move-

Poll Shous 38 Pet. of West Germans
Support Israel; 6 Pct. Back Arabs
BONN (JTA) — Thirty-eight per
cent of the West German popula-
tion supports the Israeli position
in the Middle East- conflict, with
only 6 per cent supporting the
Arab position, but 48 per cent con-
sider themselves neutral and 6
per cent have no opinion.
These are the results of a poll
of a representative cross-section of
the 50.000,000 West Germans, as
reported in Deutschland•Berichte,
a German news review here. The
publication did not indicate who
took the poll.
Among West Germans age 16-18,
more than half-54 per cent—sided
with Israel, only 5 per cent for
the Arabs, with 34 per cent neutral
and 7 per cent undecided. Among
those age 1821 and 21-30, the pro-
Israelis accounted for 43 per cent'
and the pro-Arabs for 4-5 per cent.
Among 50- to 65-year-olds, 34 per
cent favored Israel and 8 per cent
the Arabs.
The figures showed the heavi-
est pro-Israeli feelings among
those furthest removed from the
Nazi era and the Second World
War. In addition, the higher a
West German's educational level,
the greater his sympathy for
Israel, according to the poll.
Fifty-five per cent of those at
the collegiate level sympathized
with Israel, with only 5 per cent
favorable to the Arabs. At the ele-
mentary school level, it was 35
per cent pro-Israel, 6 per cent pro-
Ara b.
Men (41 per cent) were more
sympathetic to Israel than women
(36 per cent).
Those affiliated with the Chris-
tian Democratic Union of former I
Chancellor
urt Georg Kiesinger
and with its
varian affiliate, the
Christian Soda t Union, regis-
tered 44 per cen pro-Israel and
7 per cent pro-Arab.
Those supporting 'the Social ,
Democratic Party of Chancellor
Willy Brandt were 42 per cent pro-
Israel and 4 per cent pro-Arab.
Those aligned with the Free Demo-
cratic (Liberal) Party of Foreign
Minister Walter Scheel were 40
per cent pro-Israel and 7 per cent
pro-Arab.
A full 25 per cent of the support-
ers of Adolf von Thadden's right-
wing, allegedly neo-Nazi National
Democratic Party termed them-
selves sympathetic to Israel, with
45 per cent pro-Arab.
Regarding attacks on Israeli-
bound planes, 89 per cent of those
questioned said they were aware
of them, 9 per cent said they
were not interested, and 2 per
cent refused comment.
As to punishment for airline
saboteurs, 46 recommended punish-
ment and expulsion; 10 per cent
favored punishment according to
German law; and 10 per cent fa-
vored severe condemnation. Eleven
per cent declined answer to this
question, with the remainder offer-
ing miscellaneous suggestions.
