One youth was held in custody today for further examination and two released after interrogation following police investigation of an alleged plot to attack Dr. Laura Schaeffer, German physician here on a special mission. The three youths were all former members of the Irgun Zvai Leumi.
Dr. Schaeffer has been in Israel for the past 18 days to examine victims of Nazi scientific experiments who are now claiming indemnification from the West German Government. The offices assigned to her use at the Government Hospital at Sara-fand have been kept under heavy police guard as is her residence which has been changed several times since her arrival.
