But no incidents of violence
were reported.
In Duesseldorf and
Siegen, Jewish groups can-
celled outdoor Indepen-
dence Day celebrations for
fear of possible attacks. The
head of the German-Israel
Friendship Association
warned of a wave of anti-
Israel sentiment in the Fed-
eral Republic, sparked by
Premier Menahem Begin's
sharp verbal attack on
Chancellor Helmut
Schmidt for his pro-Arab
policies.
In Cologne, neo-Nazis
and members of a group
calling for the release of
war criminal Rudolph
Hess hurled epithets at
Jewish students marking
Israel's independence. In
Aachen, a small group of
Arab students paraded
under anti-Jewish and
anti-Zionist slogans. But
a reception organized in
Bonn to mark the publi-
cation of a book on
Jerusalem written by
President Yitzhak Navon
of Israel generated con-
siderable interest and
good will. About 200 per-
sons attended.
The Jewish community in
Duesseldorf organized a
major Independence Day
celebration attended by the
Israeli Ambassador,
Yochanan Meroz. Earlier,
the envoy appeared on na-
tional television to explain
the situation. He said Is-
raeli public opinion shared
a profound concern over
Bonn's further shift toward
the Arab camp.
He noted that Schmidt,
during his recent visit to
Saudi Arabia and upon his
return, angered Israelis by
speaking of the need to
create a Palestinian state
and his reference to the
Palestine • Liberation
Organization as a liberation
movement.
Schmidt offered addi-
tional offense when, in a
remark about the victims of
Auschwitz, he failed to
mention the Jewish victims
on the very day that Israel
was observing its annual
memorial for those who
perished in the Holocaust,
the Ambassador said'.
Nevertheless, both Bonn
and Jerusalem appear to be
trying to calm tempers and

end the confrontation.
Israeli Foreign Minis-
ter Yitzhak Shamir said
on a radio interview that
"we should consider the
incident closed. I see no
point in carrying on the
discussion without end."
He said' he hoped the
sharp exchange between
Israel and West Germany
"will result in benefits to
both sides — that after
the storm passes there
will be greater under-
standing, both in West
Germany and in other
parts of Europe to the
dangers inherent in the
arms race to supply
weapons to the Middle
East." He said he saw
signs in fact that Europe
was beginning to recon-
sider its arms supply pol-
icy.
In London, Anglo-Jewish
leaders, assembled to mark
Israel's Independence Day,
deliberately withheld com-
ment on Begin's attacks on
Schmidt, even though many
of them were privately ap-
palled by the damage this
has done to Israel's already
tattered image in the
British press.
Instead, the Board of De-
puties of British Jews, at a
special Independence Day
session, warmly applauded
a defiant speech by Israeli
Ambassador Shlomo Argov
who said that Begin was
entitled to "express dismay"
at Schmidt's attempt to put
his country's debt to the
Palestinian Arabs on the
same level as its debt to the
Jewish people.
Simon Wiesenthal, the
Nazi-hunter, in an earlier
speech to the Board, refused
to be drawn into the
Israeli-German con-
troversy. He claimed that
except for the Israeli Pre-
mier's personal attack on
Schmidt, there was no dif-
ference between Begin and
Labor Party leader Shimon
Peres in their statements
about West Germany's
Middle East policy.
Begin this week scored'
Austria, and its Chancellor
Bruno Kreisky, for selling
tanks to the Saudis.
"Eichmann's country sells
tanks to the Saudis," Begin
told reporters, adding, "Au-
stria, headed by that proud
Jew, Mr. Kreisky."

The Jewish community in
BurMa, which numbered
some 3,000 in 1942 but has
declined to only abcoit a
dozen today, still maintains
a synagogue in the city of
Rangoon.
The synagogue is kept
open by Jacob Samuels, a
37-year-old Jewish
businessman. It is Samuels
who is responsible for the

new, white paint covering
the outside of the stucco
building.
