TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Israeli Consulate in Jo-
hannesburg continued to
employ David Protter, 24, as
a security guard even after
it learned that he had been
discharged from the Israeli
army for psychiatric rea-
sons, a fact he concealed
when first employed.
That disclosure was made
last week by Gen. (Res.)
Rehavam Zeevi, special ad-
viser to Premier Yitzhak
Rabin, who was sent to Jo-
hannesburg to investigate
the circumstances of Prot-
ter's seizure of the consulate
offices April 28 which re-
sulted in the death of four
persons and the wounding
of 32.
Zeevi said Protter's per-
sonnel file contained high
recommendations from his
superiors including the for-
mer security officer and his
successor, Giora Raviv, who
Protter felled with a karate
chop and then riddled with
machine gun bullets. The
consulate apparently felt
that Protter was suitable
for his job which involved
screening and searching vis-
itors to the offices, despite
his questionable back-
ground.
Zeevi also disclosed that
Protter had an unwitting
accomplice in his younger
brother, Charles, who
helped him take the consu-
late employes hostage as
they reported for work on
the morning of April 28 in
the belief that he was as-
sisting in a counter-espio-
nage operation at the con-
sulate.
A casualty of a terrorist bomb that was planted in a
Jerusalem apartment building May 4 is shown being
treated at Shaare Zedek Hospital. Two residents of the
building were severely burned in the incident, while a
woman and her daughter were treated for cuts and re-
leased.
The Detroit Friends of
Shaare Zedek Hospital have
raised more than $100,000
in five years for a kidney di-
alysis unit at the new hospi-
tal and medical center in Je-
rusalem which is nearing
completion.
The old hospital began us-
ing kidney machines pro-
vided by the Detroit friends
in 1970, and now more than
120 new patients per year
are found in Israel who need
these machines to stay alive.
The machines cleanse the
blood of the human body's
impurities, a function nor-
mally performed by healthy
kidneys.
The patients must use the
machines twice each week,
for seven hours at a time.
The dialysis unit is just
one part of new $18 million
health complex being con-
structed between Beit
Hakerem and Mount Herzl
in Jerusalem. It will have
500 beds, teaching facili-
ties for medical students,
and special units for coro-
nary care, nephrology,
geriatrics, rehabilitation,
and facilities for research,
outpatient care, and the
hospital's school of nurs-
ing.
The new facility will re-
.
place the hospital's 70-year
old stone structure which
has been operating at 120
percent capacity.
The dialysis unit which
the Detroit Friends of
Shaare Zedek Hospital are
helping to provide will in-
clude eight bed-units and
kidney machines, a nurses'
control station, special
treatment room, examina-
tion room, laboratory, spe-
cial dining room, and ad-
ministrative areas.
The Detroit Friends of
Shaare Zedek Hospital are
sponsoring a dedication din-
ner, 6:30 p.m. May 26 at
Young Israel of Oak-Woods.

Zeevi described Charles
Protter as a naive young
man who believed every-
thing he was told by his
older brother, including the
story that he had been made
a military attache at the
consulate and was engaged
in rooting out spies.

viewed in jail during his
48-hour investigation in Jo-
hannesburg„was that he is a
schizophrenic personality
with delusions of grandeur
who wanted revenge against
the consulate for not being
given a position of greater
authority.
He described Protter as a
self-trained soldier, karate
expert and sharpshooter
with an obsession for secu-
rity and of the belief that Is-
raeli security measures
were faulty and too lax. He
seized the consulate em-
ployes and members of their
families partly for revenge
and partly to expose the al-
leged laxity of security ar-
rangements at the consu-
late, Zeevi reported.
