NEW YORK (JTA) — Although
Israel should feel more secure
than it has in the immediate past,-
"a potential Middle East balance
of terror" still haunts the capitals
of the countries in that region, the
Atlantic Monthly has declared.
Devoting its monthly report to
an article entitled "Middle East.
Arms Race," the magazine de-
clared that Israel should now feel
more secure because of the ob-
vious breakup of attempts at Arab
unity and the present polarization
of factions. "No one today expects
an Arab drive against Israel," said
the magazine.
The article noted that Israel has
continued insistently to argue for
American defense commitments. It
says Israelis believe that an im-
portant turning point in relations
with Washington was reached with
the agreement for eventual de-
livery of the American A-4 Sky-
hawk bombers.
The significance of this deal,
according to the magazine, is
that, for the , first time, Wash-
ington has been persuaded of
Israel's need of an offensive
American plane. It stated that,
to Tel Aviv, the Skyhawk agree-
ment means that Washington ac-
cepts the idea of independent
deterrent power. It is also sug-
gested that, "in this period of
euphoria, with this deterrent
promised," the decision about
atomic weapons development in
Israel can be postponed.
The article says that Israel may
have reaped another temporary
bonus in defense this summer.
U.S. pilots in Vietnam reportedly,
demonstrated last month a way to
evade the Soviet SAM missiles in
North Vietnam.
"The possibility that the SAM's
may therefore become obsolete is
a potential blow to Cairo. The
search for a new means of protec-
tion could only lead to further
escalation in the region. The les-
son here is that any so-called bal-
ance of forces is transitory. And
the preservation of the long Mid-
dle East truce remains as difficult
as ever."
The magazine notes that "a
higher proportion of resources is
spent for military purposes in the
Middle East than anywhere in the
world." Although it points out that
"in . the arms race, figures are ob-
solete on publication," the maga-
zine lists estimated troop strengths
as follows: Israel's, 250,000 on im-
mediate call; Egypt's, 180,000;
Iraq's, 82,000; Syria's 61,000; Jor-
dan's, 36,000; and Saudi Arabia's,
20,000.
Tank strength is estimated at
1,200 for Egypt from the USSR;
600 for Israel, including British
Centurions and American Pat-
tons; 320 for Iraq, mostly from
the USSR; and 200 for Jordan,
including 150 Pattons acquired
in 1965-66.
Atlantic says that Israel appar-
ently leads in aircraft strength
with about 470 planes, among them
French Mirages, Mysteres and
Super Mysteres as well as Sky-
hawk bombers now promised from
the United States.
Egypt is estimated to have a
force of about 450 planes, of which
Soviet MIG-21s are the most im-
portant component. Iraq accounts
for about 250, including MIG-17s
and MIG-19s; Syria about 150; and
Jordan about 36 Starfighters plus
a small number of British aircraft.
Missiles on each side, according
to Atlantic, remain a secret to non-
professionals. Egypt, it says, peri-
odically announces production of
long-range missiles. Soviet - made
SAMs-2, of the type used in North
Vietnam, protect Cairo, Aswan and
the Suez Canal.
Israel's theoretical possession of
F r e n c h missiles with 500-mile
range is denied in Tel Aviv, ac-
cording to Atlantic. Its possession
of French Matra air-to-air missiles
is public knowledge, however, as
is its acquisition of U.S. Hawks,
says the magazine.
Defense budgets last year ran,
Atlantic says, at $400,000,000. for
Egypt; $271,000,000 for • Israel;
$142,000,000 for Iraq; $108,000,000
for Saudi Arabia.
Commenting on the arms race,
Atlantic says that "the most op-
timistic view is that the Arabs
and Israelis are using atomic
language in a new version of
psychological warfare. Given the
lack of progress toward general
agreement on nonproliferation,
it is not surprising that such
countries as Israel and Egypt
(and India) should weigh the
possibility of joining the atomic
club."
According to Atlantic, Israel
leads from a certain amount of
strength in making its own de-
cision. Its research reactor in the
Negev is reported capable of pro-
ducing plutonium for weapons."
Built with French help, and re-
portedly with the help of other
European scientists, this reactor
has a capacity of 24,000 thermal
watts," says Atlantic.
The Israeli reactor, continues
the magazine,. "is of the heavy-
water-moderated type using nat-
ural uranium. Thus each time
there is mention in the s world
press of an Israeli deal with some
South American country for ura-
nium, the question again arises
whether Dimona is being diverted
to military purposes."
Birchers Confirm
Oliver Resignation
NEW YORK—(JTA)—The John
Birch Society's national director
of public relations, former Rep.
John Rousselot, has confirmed of-
ficially that Dr. Revilo P. Oliver,
University of Illinois professor,
who has delivered anti-Semitic
speeches at right-wing rallies, has
resigned from the national coun-
cil of the Birch group, according
to the New York Times.
Until now, the John Birch Soc-
iety's headquarters at Belmont,
Mass., had refused to comment
on the reports. about Prof. Oliver's
resignation. Now, however, Rous-
selot conceded that not only Dr.
Oliver but also another member
of the Birch Society's national
council, Slobadan M. Draskovich,
had quit.
The Times also revealed Sunday
through a report from Gordon
D. Hall, a Boston authority on
extremism, that Dr. Oliver had
been given a "roaring, standing"
ovation at the conclusion of an
anti-Semitic speech in Boston, last
July, before a rally labeled "For
God, Family and Country."

Eyed for Jewish Agency
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Formation
of a Supreme Immigration Au-
thority which would amalgamate
the functions of all the Jewish
Agency departments dealing with
immigration and absorption was
proposed by Aryeh L. Pincus,
chairman of the agency.
Methods for fusing the immigra-
tion and absorption departments
have been under consideration by
the agency for some time as part
of several moves to streamline the
various departments and saving
expenditures and personnel.
Under the new plan, which Pin-
cus laid before the various politi-
cal parties represented on the
agency executive, the new au-
thority would be headed by three
members of the executive who
would rotate among the various
immigration - absorption of f i c es
now maintained in Jerusalem, Eu-
rope and New York.
The new plan is to be submit-
ted to the meeting to be held here
by the agency executive, Sept. 1-9.

U.S., Israel Sign Pact
for A-Energy in Peace
WASHINGTON ,(JTA) — Ameri-
can and Israeli officials signed an
agreement amending and broad-
ening a previous accord on civil-
ian .use of atomic energy. It pro-
vided for an increase in the
amount and grade of uranium that
may be made available under the
original agreement for Israel's
Nahal Sorek research reactor.
The new agreement, which must
be ratified by Congress within a
specified time, was signed by Dr.
Glen Seaborg, chairman of the
U.S. Atomic Energy Commission;
Raymond Hare, assistant secretary
of state for Near Eastern affairs;
and charge d'affaires Ephraim
Byron, of the Israel Embassy. Op-
eration of the Nahal Sorek reactor
is covered by International Atomic
Energy Agency safeguards.
The new amendment will enable
Israel to achieve more efficient
and economical utilization of the
reactor for research in the peace-
ful uses of atomic energy. The
quantitative ceiling of enriched
uranium was raised from 10 kilo-
grams to 40.
The percentage of enrichment
was increased above 90 per cent.
Another provision permits the
two governments to authorize
scientific and public institutions
to order nuclear material through
commercial channels.
