Violence Occurs By RICHARD H. GROWALD It is Feb. 20, 1963. 30 years i Saenger to work building By RICHARD H. GROWALD United Press International Frankfurt, Germany - fUPU -The cloak is lifting and the daggers are showing in the twilight world of Germans making rockets for Egypt. An attractive blonde sec retary in Cairo opens a let ter from Hamburg and loses one of her pretty blue eyes in an explosion. Five persons are killed and six injured when a package from Hamburg blows up in another Cairo office. Dr. Wolfgang Pilz, who j helped Werner Von Braun ! send VI and V2 rockets ex ploding on Britain, picks up a specially equipped camping automobile at Munich and vanishs for six months, turn ing up later in Cairo. Krug Disappears Dr. Heinz Krug. German rocketman, a morning ride in with a "Mr. Saleh another goes for Munich and is never seen again. Dr. Hans Kleinwaechler, who tells news-men lie would rather not say exactly what he is working on, drives his automobile toward his Black Forest villa on a side road where the sentinel trees block out even the moonlight. Three men dance out into his path, their waving arms silhouetted in his headlights. Kleinwaechter jerks his car to a stop. It is carnival time and the scientist smells a joke. He begins to roll down a window to banter with the trio. Then a bullet crashed through the glass. Power Preference Bill Clears Senate Washington-iUPI) - The Sen ate has passed a bill to give the Pacific Northwest first call on federal power produced in the area. The bill, introduced by Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.), was passed by voice vote after perfunctory debate. Jackson's bill would assure industry in the Pacific North west priority to firm power from the Bonneville Power Administration system. Under present law, any public agen cy in California would have preference to federal power over private industry. The power intertic, recom mended by a task force head ed by BPA Administrator Charles F. Luce, was propos ed to carry surplus power to California. In Portland, Luce hailed passage of the bill but said the big battle "still lies ahead in the House of Representa tives." Dunes Hearing Due In Eugene on May 4 Washington - IUPH -Sen. Maurine Neuberger (D- Ore.) said Wednesday a he..-ing would be held in Eugene May 4 on her bill for a Dunes National Seashore. Mrs. Neuberger said the hearing would be conducted by Sen. Lee Metcalf (D Mont.), a member of the Sen ate Interior and Insular Af fairs Committee. I c NOTHING IN THE STORE 2 DAYS ONLY!

These words, familiar to every American, are the basis upon which we fought our War for Independence and up on which our government was founded. The Declaration of Inde pendence, which set forth the abuses which a freedom-loving people could no longer en dure and our Constitution which set forth the basic free doms which our government could not vioatc, have become the symbols of free and lib erty loving people throughout the world. Many today take the free dom and liberty for granted, and are no longer watchful lest they be whittled away by our indifference In periods of great prosper ity, where most of the people have most of the material things they need for comfort. ORKY'S Once-a-Year Get Acquainted ALE! Saenger to work building their Rocket Flight Develop ment institute near Hamburg. Saenger spent the last years of the Third Reich develop ing the world's first jet fight ers. But he had something even bigger on his mind. They called it the Anti poden bomber. It may well have been the grandfather of the Sputniks. Saenger's pet project could - on paper - be shot by rock ets on a skip-flight into orbit around the earth. He put it all down on paper and both the Americans and the Rus memorating 10th revolution. (UPI) LAW Rnptct kf Law Mahn Dtnattsey Live the danger of forgetfulness is greatest. Obligations To Selves Yet we have obligations to ourselves and to our children to examine these basic rights at regular intervals and pro tect them in every possible way from the inroads made possible only by apathy. Let us remember how im portant these basic rights were to the people of the thirteen colonies at the time of the War for Independence; let us remember the wars fought since the twelfth century to establish those rights. The authors of the Constitu tion considered their fight for freedom so basic that it. was unnecessary to forbid a breach of these personal freedoms.. But the people remembered the struggle and abuses of governments through history. They demanded assurance that these wrongs would not reoccur. Many Heritages Stated The authors of the Constiut tion then drafted the first ten amendments, commonly known as the "Bill of Rights."

Our forefathers provided these safeguards, and many others, for us in our Constitu tion. Thus we have a govern ment based upon rights under law, rather than government at the whim of people in power. This is our greatest heritage. We must stand watch lest it be snatched from us, either all at once or little by little because of our own lethargy. OVER FRIDAY & SATURDAY! of whose Germans are the best?) Saenger recently agreed with other German scientists who traced the Antipoden bomber to the first major Soviet rocket sensation - the 1957 firing of the T3 three stage rocket. That unmanned rocket shot 903 miles high and travelled 5.000 miles. Later model T's doubled the range and took the speed up to 22 times the speed of sound. Both the Russian's and the American's Germans were busy. But the Germans who stay ed home kept quietly busy too. And secret agents appar ently watched. Saenger became the chief scientist at the West German Institute for Physics and Jet Propulsion at Stuttgart. Fel low workers included Pilz, who also had done rocket re search and development for the French, and Krug and Paul Goercke. Works for Egypt They went to work for Egypt. Now a professor in Berlin, Saenger told UPI his group worked on weather rockets for Egypt. He said United Arab Republic President Ga mel Abdel Nasser wanted the rockets for prestige since Is rael had developed such rock ets. "I think it very improb able that such rockets can be used for military purposes because quite different con structions arc used for them," Saenger said. Last summer Nasser him self showed up for the maiden flight of Egyptian rockets. It was stressed their range in cluded all Israeli territory. The "Al Kahir" rocket has a 370-mile range and a Ger man V2 type engine.

Bonn al ready had cracked down on Stuttgart. "I stopped working for Egypt in October, 1961, when the Federal government ask ed me to," said Saenger. He said, however, his aides re fused to cut their ties to Egypt. They left the institute but continued their work. Violence Begins Then began intrigue and violence. It was on Sept. 3. 1962 that Dr. Pilz disappeared with his special Volkswagen, equipped with shortwave radio equip ment. Only recently Bonn re vealed Pilz went to Cairo. It was Pilz's secretary who lost an eye in the exploding letter last November. The package from Hamburg which blew up in Cairo's rocket quarters also came last November. A month earlier, on Sept. 11, Krug disappeared after that ride with "Mr, Saleh." Krug, 49, had told his wife that "Mr. Saleh" had asked to talk to him and shown him a letter from an Egyptian rocket official. East German newspapers speculated Krug fell victim to Egyptian kidnapers anxi ous to prevent the sale to Israel. Kleinwaechter, whose Loer rach home adjoins the Swiss border, apparently came next on some secret agent's list. The three men jumped his car Feb. 22. The rocket scientist realized it was no carnival joke when the bullet smashed his car window. He jerked to one side and slugged the hand that held the revolver. The weapon clattered to the road way. The three waylayers fled.

Miss Heidi Goercke told police that Otto Joklik, 42, an Austrian chemical engineer came and said her father might be in danger if he persisted in working for Egypt's rocket program. West German and Swiss po lice helped arrange a Basel hotel meeting between Miss Goercke and Joklik. Thirty Swiss police stationed them selves in the hotel, one as a waiter. Police arrested them March 2 at a masquerade dance at Zurich. West Germany then asked for the pair to be extra dieted to stand trial here. German authorities said the pair was among the men who tried to kill Kleinwaechtter that night in the Black For est. Aid Charged The arrests climaxed the storm Israeli government spokesmen and newspapers charged Germans with aiding Egypt for 11 years. Tye said 30 Germim wartime scien tists are now busy on such projects as nerve gases, atom ic weapons and the electronic guidance and warhead devel opments needed to turn Nas ser's rockets into major mili tary weapons. The Israelis named Goercke as chief of the guidance work and Pilz as boss of rocket en gine development. Another 300 German technicians and scientists are aiding the top 30, the Israelis charged. U.A.R. spokesman called all the charges "slanderous They said the Germans "are carrying out scientific and technical research and not working on the production of atomic bombs."
