Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chairman of the Jewish Agency executive, returned here last night from Europe following his talks with Chancellor Konrad Adenauer regarding the expected ratification by the West German Parliament of the German-Israel reparations pact. Berl Locker, chairman of the Jewish Agency executive in Jerusalem, also arrived here last night.
(From Cairo it was reported that Dr. Ludger Westrick, head of a German delegation to Cairo, told a press conference that he and his associates had not come to Egypt to discuss the German-Israel pact, but to discuss economic matters. Another report from the Egyptian capital said that the Egyptians were asking Germany to supply them with ships, oil pipeline and rainmaking equipment on longterm credits.)
