Israel Again Condemned by UN Anti-Israel Bloc UNITED NATIONS (JTA)—The United Nations Commission on Human Rights adopted a resolution condemning Israel for alleged human rights violations in the occupied territories, although less than 40 per cent of the 32-nation membership voted for it. The resolution was backed by 12 nations, including the Arab and Communist countries, India, Iran, Turkey and Mauritania. Israel and two African members— Tanzania and Senegal—refused to vote. The members representing Western (including the United States), Latin Ameri- can and African countries—abstained. The United States came strongly to , the support of Israel in the United Nations Human Rights Commission last Friday when Mrs. Rita Hauser, the American delegate, sharply criticized the limited scope of the special working group of experts investi- Misrepresentations vis-a-vis Refugees and Treatment of Israeli Arabs gating alleged violations of human rights in territories occupied by Israel in the Six-Day War. The corn mission is currently debating a draft report of the working group which, condemns Israeli treatment of the civilian population in the occupied areas. Mrs. Hauser said the United States had abstained from voting for the special working group "because we did not believe the resolution was balanced in approach and in substance. This resolution was limited to human rights problems in the terri- tories occupied by Israel, ignoring similar problems in other places in the area of conflict in the Middle East. This limited approach "was not consistent with the broader scope of the investi- gation undertaken in 1967 by the representative of the secretary general, Mr. Gussing.'

Rogers in Washington, not to provide Israel with the additional Phantom and Skyhawk jets it requested last September. Israel's official reply to Secretary Rogers' announcement was made public by Foreign Minister Abba Eban in a television and radio appearance shortly after it was conveyed to the U. S. State Department by Israel's ambassador in Washington, Gen. Itzhak Rabin. Eban said that "Israel's ability to withstand and repel attack is the only concrete factor capable of deterring the Arab states and especially the United Arab Republic, from renewing the war in full scale and fury. If these governments imagine that our air strength will lag behind the re-enforcement of the Arab states in aircraft, the chance of avoiding an expanding conflict will seriously diminish." 'Inc Israeli foreign minister stated that "In recent days it has become established beyond all doubt that something of serious consequence has taken place. The Soviet Union has introduced into . Egypt a missile system of the SAM-3 category, accompanied by a substantial number of Soviet personnel designed for its activation. The purpose of this missile system is to serve the Egyptians as an umbrella, under whose shelter they plan to intensify their continued attacks across the cease-fire lines. This weapons system represents a new political and military dimen- sion which all those concerned for the balance of forces and the promotion of stability in our region must take into serious account." He said Israel has taken note of President Nixon's March 21 statement, repeated by Secretary Rogers, that the decision on Israel's request for more aircraft was an "interim deci- sion." He said, "We also note their remarks about the evidence of new SAM-3 missiles and Soviet military personnel which the Soviet Union introduced into Egypt. We also note the as- surance by the President and the secretary of state that this situation bears and will receive close and careful scrutiny by the U.S. government as well as continuous review and evalua- tion." Continuing, Eban stated. "In this context, we attach importance to the fact that the U. S. government has no intention of jeopardizing Israel's security." Deputy Premier Yigal Alton Is reported to have outlined some of the military and politi- cal implications of the Russian deliveries to Egypt at Sunday's cabinet meeting. On Friday night, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan referred to the missiles on a television interview. He said Israel's concern stemmed less from the physical presence of the SAM-3s on Egyptian soil than from the fact that the Russiang are creating the foundations for a Soviet mili- tary, establishment in the Mid. East. He indicated that the presence of Soviet personnel would not deter Israeli efforts to neutralize the missiles. He warned that if Israel receives the "French treat- ment" from the U. S., the quantitative superiority of the Arab air forces next summer would be in the neighborhood of four to one. (The London Sunday Observer placed the number of Russian "advisers" in Egypt at 6,000, the highest estimate ever published in the local press. The Daily Telegraph reported that the Soviets have sent 1,500 "instructors" to install and man the SAM-3 ground-to-air missiles just delivered to Egypt. According to the Telegraph, Israeli reconnaissance has pinpointed SAM-3 missile sites outside of Cairo and Alexandria and in the Nile delta. The Observer's corre- spondent, Robert Stephens, reported from Cairo that the number of Soviet personnel rose from 3,500 to 6,000. He said Russian moves were by no means simply military but reflected the Soviet's heavy economic and political investment in Cairo.)

At the opening campaign dinner on Wednesday evening, at the Jewish Center, William Avrunin, executive vice president of the Jewish Welfare Federation, announced that the drive mill start with gifts totaling $9.041,000—a sum never before equaled in local Jewish philanthropic efforts. Summarizing campaign experiences, Avrunin made a sig- nificant comparison. He pointed out that in 1969 a total of $10.- 350,000 was raised from 24,500 contributors and at the opening campaign meeting a year ago initial gifts of $7,900,040 were re- ported from 12,400 contributors. At this opening meeting of the 1970 campaign he was in pos
