Egyptian Rearmament Alarms Israel

(Continued from Page 1)
sis on a current review by the
Administration of American aid
to Egypt and reported that the
Administration feels some as-
pects of the Nasser regime were
"not all unfavorable."
The Post said the wisdom of
the U.S. aid program benefiting
Nasser was being questioned be-
cause of Nasser's "open partici-
pation in the revolt in Yemen."
According to the Post, "the
Israelis fear the success of the
Nasser-assisted Yemeni military
group in pushing out Yemen's
antiquated Imamate may encour-
age Nasser in other foreign ad-
ventures in the Middle East."
To justify its faith in Nasser,
the Post said, the Administra-
tion has cited Nasser's "strict
silence" when the United States
announced , sale of Hawk missiles
to Israel; re-establishment of
links with the West through af-
filiation with the General Agree-
ment of Tariffs and Trade; Nas-
ser's Congo policy; the placement
by Nasser of the Israel issue in
the "ice box"; his role on Soviet
nuclear policy, and his "mod-
erate" stand in the Cuban con-
troversy last fall.
"All of these factors are said
to convince Administration offi-
cials that Nasser, despite his
penchant for interfering in the
internal affairs of his Arab
neighbors, still comes out on the
plus side in permitting room for
reasonably friendly relations
with the free world," the Post
reported.

on the Arab refugee question
would have several advantages,"
he asserted. "There would be
some technical cooperation be-

rael would obtain a sort of de
facto recognition by the Arabs;
and a category of refugees would
be created who have chosen not
to return to Israel and therefore
would be eligible for resettle-
ment in the Arab countries."

radio reports, an attempted coup
against King Hussein has been
suppressed.
Unrest erupted in the old city
of Jerusalem, on the Jordanian
side of the border, • Jan. 13, the
Lebanese radio reported. The
trouble developed after Jordan's
Palestine District Commissioner,
Nuseibeh, resigned. Pro-Nasser-
ist demonstrations followed his
resignation, according to the
Beirut radio.
Israeli leaders have noted in
connection with previous erup-
tions of political troubles in
Jordan that they would not sit
idly by if a Nasserist coup
should take place in Jordan.
Israel's Deputy Defense Min-
ister Shimon Peres warned that
Israel would not be surprised if
Egypt demonstrates a public
launching of missiles:
Peres said that • although "we
don't yet know whether Egypt
already has operational missiles"
it is known that she has been
very busy in this field for sev-
eral years. It made no difference
whether it was Egyptian or for-
eign experts and scientists who
developed the missiles, he
stressed.
At the same time, he noted
that Egypt, Syria and Iraq con-
tinue getting an inflow of large
quantities of the best quality
weapons and it was, therefore,
up to Israel to equip its Army
with the best known planes and
tanks that could meet the Egyp-
tian challenge.

Religious Identification Growing
Among Jewish Students; Abandon
of Negativism Seen in Hillel Report

NEW YORK, (JTA)—One of
the factors that has stimulated
increased Jewish student in-
terest in religious worship on
the campuses of American col-
leges and universities is that
"the academic climate today
favors religious identification
on the part of students," the
Bnai Brith Hillel Foundations
reported.
The report said that a study
of attendance at services on
campuses during the past High
Holy Days revealed a larger at-
tendance than ever before. It
cited an attendance at the Penn-
sylvania State University Hillel
Foundation of 1,500 Jewish stu-
dents who filled the auditorium
synagogue and overflowed to
the outside halls and sidewalks.
"At Ohio State University,
concurrent services were con-
ducted, one liberal and the
other traditional, not only to
meet the specific needs of
students of different denomi-
national backgrounds b u t
also to provide additional
seating space for the large
number of students joining
in worship," the report added.
"Three concurrent services
were conducted at Harvard-
Radcliffe in the Orthodox,
Conservative and Reform tra-
ditions, with more than 1,400
students in attendance."
Conceding that attendance at
such services was "no indication
of the real intensity of Jewish
identification," the report con-
tended that increased student
attendance was nevertheless
significant "because it runs
counter to our experience on
the campus a decade ago, cer-
tainly 20 years ago. Then large
numbers of Jewish students re-
fused to identify themselves in
any way with Jewish life and
religion."
The report added that the
spirit of the university "is
highlighted further by the
