Catholic and Protestant leaders have written to President Nixon, Secretary of State William P. Rogers and United States Senators and Congressmen to urge that Washington permit the sale of the U.S. jet aircraft sought by Israel. The messages were coordinated by the Institute of Judaeo-Christian Studies at Seton Hall University, South Orange, N.J. Thirteen of the Christian leaders signed a letter stating that they "feel morally impelled to urge you to make unmistakably clear to the Soviet Union that America will not sit by feebly while Russia unilater- ally alters the regional balance of power, thereby encouraging Arab military advancement, threatening the security of Israel and risking great power confrontations." They said that "A firm stand at this critical moment will be the strongest assurance against a further slide into a more dangerous global conflict." The 13 included Msgr. John M. Osterreicher, Fr. Edward A. Flan- nery and Sister Rose Thering of Seton Hall; Prof. A. Roy Eckardt of Lehigh University; and representatives of the National Council of Churches, Temple University and the Catholic Theological Union. Msgr. Osterreicber, director of the Institute of Judaeo-Christian Studies, said in a separate telegram to Secretary Rogers that "Our continued inactivity would have disastrous consequences for Israel and, indeed, the entire Middle East." He said he had been "disappointed and disturbed" at the U.S. "failure" to vote against the Security Council resolution condemning Israel's raid into Lebanon but not mentioning Arab terrorism. (U.S. Ambassador Charles W. Yost abstained on that vote). "After the murderous ambush of an Israeli school bus by Arab terrorists," Msgr. Osterreicher continued, "I am indignant and deeply hurt because U.S. seeming indifference encouraged murderers . . . I implore you ... to move the President to act and act now." Similar pleas were sent by seven members of the Georgia Council of Churches and five ministers of the United Church of Christ in Georgia. The Rev. William H. Harter of the Middle East Committee of the National Council of Churches, one of the signers of the 13-signature letter, sent a separate letter to President Nixon stating: "I see no hope for concord unless Israel is given the weapons and material needed to counter aggression and unless we, as the most powerful nation in the world, plant ourselves firmly in Russia's path. It is a Christian moral reponsibility of the highest and most pressing order to ensure the safe existence of Israel and of the Jewish people, and to foil Soviet chicanery which is victimizing both Jews and Arabs in the region." $400,000 Gift Aids Technion Computer Plan in Haifa - A major advance in the com- puter science program at the Technion—Israel Institute of Tech- nology will be made possible by a gift of $400,000 from Henry and Joseph Taub of New Jersey to the American Tecbnion Society. Jacob Walter Ullmann, national president of the society, said the gift will enable the construction of an enlarged computer facility at Technion City, in Haifa, Israel. The new facility will be named "The Taub Computer Center." Joseph and Henry Taub, brothers, founded 'Automatic Data Processing, of Clifton, N.J. They helped build it into a leading firm in the computer software field. Henry is the firm's board chairman, and Joseph is vice chairman. Computer science has developed rapidly at the Technion in the past few years. A course in the subject is required of all students. The Technion now offers students open access to its small computer units, and it is in the process of acquir- ing a new unit. The Technion has a student enrollment of 6,350, and a faculty of more than 1,000 mem- bers. Its 17 academic faculties and departments cover a broad range of engineering and scientific fields.
