Dutch police officials left today for Israel where they will take testimony from seven witnesses on the alleged war crimes of a former Nazi concentration camp guard arrested last week. Hans J. Loyen, 58, was arrested in the southeastern village of Horn, where he had lived for several years with his family, following evidence given by three fellow former guards during their trial in Hamburg, West Germany, earlier this year. Loyen admitted to being a camp guard in 1942-43 at the forced labor camp for Polish Jews in Bobruisk in the Soviet Union.
