South Africa Premier's Visit to Israel Seen as Successful
JERUSALEM — South
African Premier John Vors-
ter flew back home shortly
before midnight Monday
after a four-day visit here
which both Israeli and
South African officials re-
gard as highly successful.
Before departure he told a
news conference in Jerusa-
lem that he and Israel
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin had agreed to set up a
joint ministerial committee
to promote trade and eco-
nomic cooperation between
their two countries.
Vorster denied reports
t an arms supply rela-
ti—..hip was evolving be-
tween the two countries.
At his news conference,
Vorster said the joint minis-
terial committee would in-
volve itself in the following
areas:
• Encouragement of in-
__
vestments,
• Development of trade,
• Scientific and technical
cooperation,
• Joint utilization of
South African raw materi-
als and Israeli knowhow and
manpower.
The South African leader
said it would be "wrong" for
him to offer an opinion on
whether Israel should with-
draw to the pre-1967 lines.
His visit to Sharm El-
Sheikh Saturday, he said,
had given him "a better in-
sight" into the strategic is-

Vorster spoke at some
length of his policy of de-
tente with Black Africa,
which, he said, had already
"succeeded to a great ex-
tent."
It "stood to reason," he
added, that this issue
would be a topic of discus-
sion between South Africa
and Israel. He seemed to
discourage speculation,
though, regarding a possi-
ble "joint strategy.by the
two countries to reach out
to Black Africa.

BONN (JTA) — Six -Israe-
lis, an American and a Ger-
man were sentenced to
prison terms of up to 91/2
years at the end of a four-
month drug trial here, said
to have been the biggest
drug trial ever held in West
Germany.
The accused were charged
with forming a criminal
ring that sold $1.2 million
worth of heroin. A battery
of 32 lawyers was employed
by the defense.
According to testimony
during the trial, the ring
was formed in January 1974
by Joseph (Bie Joe) Amiel,
33, a Frankfurt restaurant
owner originally from Tel
Aviv. His clsoest associate
was identified as Jeshaja
Feinsilber, 30, also from Tel
Aviv, who was accused of

dealers in Amsterdam. An-
other Israeli, 28-year-old
Baruch Bar-Ziv, described
as an impresario, allegedly
carried the drugs into West
Germany by raid, car and
air.
Amy Devore, 18, from
New York, aided the ring,
according to testimony, by
concealing the heroin in
her pantyhose during cus-
toms inspection at the
Dutch border. Shimon Ri-
mon, a farmer from Israel,
was accused of mixing the
heroin with vinegar and
powered milk in which
form it was wrapped for
selling. The other defend-
ants were accused of act-
ing as "pushers."
The long trial produced -
its share of sensations.
Amiel escaped from custody
before the hearings started.
Another defendant, Josef
Hozmi, attempted suicide
while in prison, and co-de-
fendant Josef Jakob had to
be placed in an isolation
ward after appearing in
court under the influence of
drugs he obtained from
other prisoners.
Prophetic Role
Israel has a devine and
prophetic role to play in the
concert of nations and in the
progress of united human-
ity toward an era of univer-
sal justice and peace. The
millennial vision abides
eternally in the Torah and
illumines the hope of all its
children.
—Abraham A. Neuman
Christian shrines in Jerusa-
lem and Bethlehem. He also
visited the Israel Aircraft
Industries plant and toured
Galilee, the Golan Heights
and Sinai since his arrival.
He was honored at a ban-
quet given by Rabin and re-
ciprocated with one for the
Israeli Premier.
The Jerusalem Post in
an editorial said the visit
"puts an end to the long
dilemma posed by the need
to respond to South Afri-
ca's outstretched hand of
friendship and support."
The newspaper noted that
Israel is opposed to
apartheid, but said there
was no reason to "make
common cause with the
hypocrites of the world
who have sought to turn
South Africa into a pariah
state."
Meanwhile, in New York,
the American board of Gi-
vat Haviva Educational
Foundation, an organization
supporting the Givat Haviva
Institute in Israel which is
affiliated with Kibutz
Haartzi,-denounced Vors-
ter's visit.
In a telegram to Rabin, 17
members and friends of the
foundation expressed shock
and dismay at Vorster's
visit "for the reported pur-
pose of arranging a major
sale of Israeli arms to the
South African government.
Nothing would contribute
more to heightening the
damage done by the repre-
hensible UN resolution on
Zionism than for Israel to
emerge in open alliance
with the racist South Afri-
can regime. As Zionists, we
strongly urge you to recon-
sider."
