Government sources ex- pressed surprise at the inci- dent, coming after months of efforts to improve rela- tions between Bonn and Jerusalem which were seri- ously strained when Begin attacked Schmidt as a Nazi last June. According to radio and television commentators, the latest blast by the Is- raeli premier only served to arouse public support for Schmidt, who has been under attack by opposition spokesmen in the Bundes- tag recently for his alleged pro-Nazi activities during World War II. Begin assailed Schmidt on the basis of an Israeli newspaper report which quoted the German chancellor as saying he would not make his long postponed trip_ to Israel until he received an apol- ogy for Begin's remarks last year. Government spokesman Kurt Becker officially de- nied that Schmidt had set such a condition for his visit. Begin seized on the report to exhort Schmidt to "go down on his knees and ask forgiveness of the Jewish people . . . for what his countrymen perpetrated under the National Socialist regime against my people." He said he would never apologize to Schmidt "pri- vately or publicly." Last June, during Be- gin's re-election cam- paign, he accused of Schmidt of remaining loyal to Hitler and of serving in the German army that helped wipe out . European Jewry. That attack was promp- ted by remarks Schmidt made in support of the creation of a Palestinian state, while visiting Saudi Arabia last spring. Schmidt was attacked in the Bundestag last Jan. 14 by Helmut Kohl, leader of the Bavarian-based Chris- tian Socialist Union, for having attended the show trial of a group of senior German army officers in- volved in an unsuccessful attempt to kill Hitler in 1944. According to Kohl, his presence at the trial was a clue to his political attitude at the time. But Begin's remarks went far beyond the accusa- tions which have become commonplace in West Ger- man politics. Most obser- vers believe Begin has suc- ceeded in promoting sol- idarity with the chancellor among West Germans. . ......... THURSDAY thru SUNDAY ONLY! U HAVE 4 DAYS TO BUY THE FUR OF YOUR DREAMS!
