The thrust of the Middle East out, because of the secondary con-

"One of the lessons of 1967 was
that local events and forces have
a momentum of their own, and
that conscious and serious effort is
required for the major powers to
resist being caught up in them."
The report deplored the Soviet
Union's lack of "practical and con-
structive flexibility" in Four-Power
and Two-Power talks on the Mid-
dle East. "Each nation concerned
(in developing peace) must be pre-
pared to subordinate its special in-
terests to the general interest in
peace," the report said.

Israel Museum
Gets Giant Menora
JERUSALEM — A Hanuka me-
nora, six feet and eight inches
high, has reached the Israel Mu-
seum from Germany. The menora
apparently was made for a syna-
gogue in the area of Lvov (Lem-
berg) late in the 17th Century or
early in the 18th Century.
The top of the menora has a bird
with spread wings, and the candles
are placed in shell shaped bowls.
It was repaired at a later date.
The menora, which has not been
lit for at least 100 years, was in
the Vienna collection of Dr. Franz
Lumpe von Mallewitz.
Around Hanuka 1968 it went on
-sale and was bought by Willy
Kaus, owner of the German Metz-
ler tire corporation, who donated it
to the Israel Museum in Jerusa-
lem. At the museum it towers over
all, the other 578 menoras, the
largest and most representative
menora collection in the world.

Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir
to discuss the rights of Reform
A top administration source
said Wednesday that President
Nixon's announcement that he
will make a decision on whether
to sell arms to Israel "within 30
days" had "no profound diplo-
matic significance."
The official explained that under
the National Security Agency sys-
tem, consideration of the issue
would reach the President's desk in
a month, and he was using the
system's time table to alert the
country on his forthcoming deci-
sion.
Some question had been raised
about Nixon's timetable in light
of French Premier Pompidou's
visit to Washington next week.

Restraint is also the keyword in
the look at the United States fu-
ture relationship with the Middle
East at the end of the section: "A
new problem faces us . . . while the
United States will continue to help
where it can, the need will decline
for capital assistance and for the
type of economic assistance which
A.I.D. and its forerunners have
provided."
The administration feels that now
the Middle East—and especially
Israel—is meeting its own needs
from its own resources, traditional
foreign aid is neither necessary
nor desirable. The U. S. must come
up with new ways to help Israel
and other friendly Middle Eastern
countries.
