WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The Defense Department an- nounced that negotiations have been completed to transfer to Israel enough Hawk. supersonic anti-aircraft missiles to equip one battalion at a cost of $25,000,000.. U. S. military authorities de- clined to say exactly how many missiles and launchers were in- volved, but pointed out that an American battalion is equipped with 24 launchers. A missile battalion is made up of four firing batteries, six launchers each, and one non- firing headquarters battery. It is presumed that Israel is es- tablishing a similar unit. The Hawk is designed for use against attacking planes .flying at low and medium altitudes. American units in the NATO structure are equipped with Hawks for use against aerial attackers at moderate range and with Nike missiles for high flying targets. The Hawk missile is mobile and may be moved rapidly. It is fired by launchers which may be discharged individu- ally or by coordinated bat- teries. The Defense Department said it could not publish the exact number of missiles or launchers on grounds of military security. A final exchange of letters has taken place to verify the sale. Some Israeli military person- nel have already been trained at the U. S. Air Defense School, Fort Bliss, Tex., and others are scheduled for train- ing at Huntsville, Ala., and else- where, for training in mainten- ance of the sensitive equipment. The State Department an- nounced that a,U. S. fighter jet squadron and supporting units arrived in Saudi Arabia last weekend - for air defense training exercises to be 'con- ducted jointly with Saudi Arabian forces and that the United States made it clear that Jews would not be elim- inated from among American personnel assigned. Saudi Arabian policy, under the goading of the Arab League, has sought to screen out Americans of Jewish faith from among U. S. military men assigned to Saudi Arabia. How- ever, the State Department stressed that the United States would not comply with an anti- Jewish ban. State Department spokesman James L. Greenfield said Saudi Arabia had not altered its visa policy against admitting Jews as individuals, but, he added, "our own policy of non-discrim- Our efforts have been directed ination among American citi to obtaining at home and zens on grounds of race, creed abroad recognition and accept- or color is firmly established. ance of this principle." - MER SAL This Week Only to July 10th!
