A recommendation that Israel be dropped from United States foreign aid because it sold arms to West Germany was made today in a foreign aid debate in the House of Representatives.
Rep. H. R. Gross, Iowa Republican, said that if Israel now had a capacity to manufacture munitions and sell them to industrially-advanced countries and extend foreign aid in Africa and Asia, the United States should terminate aid to Israel. He added that the Israel-West German arms transaction demonstrated that Israel had no real need for development loans and other aid funds.
