Menahem Beigin, leader of the Herut Party, today met with the French Minister here in connection with the expulsion from France last week of four members of the Herut Party, all of them Israeli citizens.
Mr. Beigin explained that the Herut Party has no connection whatsoever with the mail bombs sent to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany and to the German delegation at The Hague reparations talks with Israeli representatives. The French Minister promised to transmit Mr. Beigin’s statement to his government.
It was learned today that in addition to expelling the four Herut members, the French authorities in Paris also conducted a thorough search of Herut headquarters there and confiscated some records. The apartments of a number of Herut Party members in Paris were also searched by the police.
