West German Ambassador Heinrich Knappstein is scheduled to meet tomorrow with Secretary of State Dean Rusk and is expected to protest against “Jewish” boycott threats against his country as well as the general attitude of the American Jewish community in connection with German cancelation of its arms sales agreement with Israel.

The Ambassador was depicted by informed sources as prepared to make a case against what German authorities regard as improper and excessive American Jewish “agitation” against West Germany on the arms cancelation, the Bonn statute of limitations pertaining to trial of Nazi criminals, the German role in Egyptian military industries, and related issues.
