But the West German leader also made it clear that he regards the “special relationship" which once characterized Bonn Israel relations to be superceded by "nor mal relations" of a “special character" stemming from what Brandt described as "the sombre background of the National Socialist reign of terror." Brandi stressed repeatedly al a State dinner in his honor Thursday night, al a press conference Triday, at a banquet he gave for Premier Meir and on other public occasions that the past can be neither undone JERUSALEM — Chancellor Willy Brandt escaped possible in jury atop Masada this week when heavy wind buffeted a helicopter in which he was sitting and swept it to within a hundred feet of the mountain's difT.

But he stressed equally IVest Germany's intention to maintain strict "even- handedness" in the Middle Last dispute, and that while his country was prepared to help bring the two sides together it offered neither mediation nor advice. At the State dinner, however, Brandi appeared to be asking both Israel and the Arab states to lake example from his "Ostpolitik I rapprochement with the Com munist bloc I which he said "has been no easy path" and has "re quired us to give up illusions and indeed to abandon hopes which had been right on their side because "without a secure peace, all hope would be in vain" Brandt assured his Israeli audience that "Ost politik" was not intended to pul anyone al a disadvantage Mrs. Meir responded by saying that Israel's neighbors must learn the lesson of ' * 1 Ostpolitik.'' At his press conference, Brandt again expressed the hope that West Germany's success at detent "can be infectious." He said the stabilization of peaceful conditions in Europe “is an element of securi ty for the Mediterranean region, too." He stated that his policy since taking office has been to maintain normal diplomatic relations with all countries that want such relations with all countries that want such relations with West Ger many. He added that improving relations with one country did not mean deterioration of relations with another "To be more specific, improving relations with another country will not be at the expense of the State of Israel," Brandt said. He noted that the Israeli Government shared this view. Brandt said in reply to questions that at their recent meeting in Bonn, Soviet Com munist Party Secretary Leonid I Brezhnev had not asked him to carry any messages to Israel. But, he said, he did convey to Premier Meir some of hs impressions of his talks with Brezhnev and other world leaders. However, Brandt added, “It would be very unwise were 1 to report on details of these talks other than to give my impres sion that, despite all differences between leaders of the world powers, all of them are interested in a political solution in the Middle East” Brandt said West Germany would try, in talks with both par ties in the Middle East, to be as objective as possible. “That does not mean only to try to be aware of the positions but we want to in troduce elements which we con sider to be on the line of reason." Brandt stressed that Israel and West Germany have had normal relations since they exchanged am bassadors eight years ago but these have always been in the context of the historical background of the past. "Without the acceptance of our share of responsibility for the crimes which Nazism committed abusing the name of Germany, ex ternal freedom would not be credi ble nor reliable," he said "The three decades that separate us from the days of horror made us forget nothing of what must not be forgotten," he said. The German leader said his talks with Premier Meir included cooperation between their two countries, international relations in general, the Middle East con flict and the problems confronting that region. The Chancellor said another topic of discussion was the relations between the European Economic Community and the Middle East region. He said on that subject he was in a dilemma because he strongly favored political cooperation between the nine Common Market countries, yet there are substantive differences among them on such subjects as the Middle East. He said, however, that Israel's economic and politcal interests in the EEC were consonant with West Germany’s views. "We shall bear them in mind when the enlarged community goes about the task of working out a com prehensive and balanced policy lor the Mediterranean," he said.
