    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.

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.

PROTECT YOUR HERITAGE
"We hold these truths to be
self-evident ..."
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.

their Rocket Flight Develop

Saenger spent the last years
of the Third Reich develop
ing the world's first jet fight

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

ets on a skip-flight into orbit

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."

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.
Israel, perhaps the most
delicate point in West Ger-
m a n y's international rela
tions, began protesting against

military rocketry. 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.

25-year-old daughter of rock-1 missiles for Egypt.
ctman Paul Goercke had a
visitor at Freiburg, Germany,
where she practices law. 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."
