members attended. "We'll
go ahead with the rest of our
convention, with or without
the county's money," Mr.
Keller told county commis-
sioners. "But the extra fund-
ing would have helped defray
some of our costs. We bring a
lot of money into the area
during a three-day conven-
tion."
Carl A. Pardon, manager
of veterans services for Oak-
land County, said he urged
county commissioners to
regard the grant as "seed
money."
"I suggested they look at it
as a form of economic devel-
opment," Mr. Pardon said.
"When people attend con-
ventions, they tend to spend
a lot of money in that city."
Commissioner John G.
Pappageorge, (R-Troy), who
voted last year for the Pur-
ple Heart grant, this year
voted against funding the
Jewish War Veterans.
"I voted for the request
from the Purple Heart group
because the qualification for
membership is so unique,"
Mr. Pappageorge said.
The Purple Heart is a
medal awarded to soldiers
wounded in action.
However, as Mr. Keller
pointed out, the Jewish War
Veterans has many mem-
bers who were awarded the
purple heart.
"Not only that, we also
have members who've been
awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor," he said.
The Congressional Medal
of Honor is awarded, often
posthumously, to soldiers
who demonstrated extraor-
dinary courage in battle.
Mr. Pappageorge, a West
Point graduate and retired
Army colonel, said this was
the first time he denied a
military-related request.
"What we do for
one group, we
should do for
others — across
the board."

"Our budget and other fi-
nancial commitments just
don't allow it," he said.
Commissioner John E.
Olsen, (R-Huntington
Woods), who voted against
both the Purple Heart and
Jewish War Veterans
grants, said this was not the
time to start giving out
money when the state was in
such fiscal trouble.
"We're in the middle of
some very difficult economic
times," Mr. Olsen said. "The
state's deficit is going to im-
pact on Oakland County's
budget, and we have other
crying needs."
But according to Mr. Per-
nick, Oakland County fin-
ished 1990 with a surplus of
$7 million.
"We're the richest county
in all of Michigan," he said.
"I think we could have
spared the money, especially
in light of last year's
grant." 0
German-Israel Ties

and Israel had even begun
before 1965.
As early as the 1952 Lux-
embourg Agreement, he
said, the Federal Republic
(West Germany) delivered
merchandise worth 3.4
billion marks to Israel. After
the 1956 war between Israel
and Egypt, then German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
continued to send aid to Israel
despite objections from the
United States.
"The existence of Israel in
secure borders is a high
priority in Germany," said
Dr. Hansen, who also speaks
fluent Hebrew. "As a conse-
quence," he said, "10 Arab
countries, including Iraq,
severed ties with Germany.
They rescinded in 1973.
However, Iraq was the last
to do so."
According to Dr. Detlof
von Berg, the German con-
sul general, a dozen West
German companies are now
under indictment for supply-
ing chemical weapons to
Saddam Hussein's arsenal.
If found guilty, he said, the
people responsible could
serve up to 10 years in
prison.
As a child, Dr. von Berg,
51, was a refugee in war-torn
"Relations with
Israel didn't
develop despite
the past. They
developed because
of the past."

Germany. His family fled
from East Prussia after his
grandfather was killed by
the Nazis, and his mother
was captured and implicated
in the July 20, 1944
assassination attempt on
Hitler's life.
