`France Should Free Jets
Before U.S. Sends Aid'
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Sen.
Vance Hartke, Indiana Democrat,
a member of the Senate Finance
Committee, said Sunday that if the
United States is to help France out
of her fiscal difficulties and re-
store her NATO benefits, President
de Gaulle should first release the
50 Mirage jet fighter-bombers built
for Israel. The jets were impound-
ed by de Gaulle as a result of the
Six-Day War.
Sen. Hartke charged the de
Gaulle government with a breach
of contract and took notice of the
Israeli payment already made on
the purchase of the jets. The Sen-
ator indicated that he is consider-
' ing offering legislation to imple-
ment his position when the new
Congress meets in January.
