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'.

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.
