Washington, (JTA)—On the Washington scene this week, two Congressmen, a Democrat and a Repnblican, voiced demands in the House for closer scrutiny of West Germany's NATO role as a result of German collaboration with the Egyptian Program to develop weapons of mass destruction for use against Israel. The statements followed reports concerning the work of German scientists in Egypt. Rep. Leonard Farbstein, Dem., n member of the House Foreign Affairs, Committee, charged that Bonn was trying to "hide behind a cloak of spurious legalism all too reminiscent of the 'laws' of the Nazi era under which Germans said 1they were 'only doing their duty. " He said that German moral maturity was now in doubt at the very time that the Germans are boldly demanding stronger influence in NATO and nuclear weaponry. According to Rep. Farbstein, "Ronn has as much a governmental responsibility to keep radiological and germ rockets out of Egyptian hands as the United Stales has to prevent iis citizens and industries from daing similar work for Castro Cuba which, Incidentally, is a good friend of Nasscritc Egypt." Hep. Seymour Halpern, New York Republican, said that West Germany had "defaulted on a grave moral responsibility by permitting Germans and German interests to help Nasser e/fectuate his threats to destroy those escapees from German barbarism who now reside in Israel." He said, "Bonn coulil quickly enough find applicable laws and

Yet German technicians and scientists, zealous, unrepentant Nazis among them, are now working with the Soviet-trained and Soviet-equipped Egyptian military forces." In Jerusalem, it was reported, Israel submitted notes to the United States, Britain, France, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland, similar to the ones submitted to the West German government on the activities of German nuclear scientists in Egypt in developing non-conventional weapons.
