Deutschland sender, the East German Communist radio, today broadcast a lengthy attack on Israel Premier David Ben Gurion’s government by S, Mikunis, general secretary of the Communist Party in Israel.

Mr. Mikun is accused Mr. Ben Gurion of “plotting with Bonn militarists who murdered Jews” and alleged “this plan is linked with the transformation of Israel into a base for rocket and atomic weapons in the Middle East.” He claimed that behind the recent reports of a projected Israeli mission to Bonn was “Ben Gurion’s attempt to establish a political and military link with West German militarism.” The Mikunis views were broadcast by the Communists throughout Germany.
