Seriousness of Russian Presence
in Egypt Illustrated on NBC Show
NEW YORK (JTA)—Israel Pre-
mier Golda Meir, asked in a
filmed interview Tuesday night if
the U.S. Middle East policy has
encouraged Soviet penetration
there, replied: "Let me put it
more kindly—it hasn't discouraged
them."
The Soviets are cautious expan-
sionists. She said: They look over
an area carefully, consider the
risks of world opinion and "if it's
quiet, they take another step."
She added: "We have yet to see
a country where the Russians
came in and left. When they come
in, they usually stay.'
The interview was part of a
program on the Russians in the
Middle East, broadcast on the
monthly "First Tuesday" televi-
sion show over NBC.
The program also included jet-
eye footage of combat over the
Suez Canal, with NBC news pro-
ducer Robert Rogers reporting.
Aboard a jet that was attacking
Egyptian sites along the Suez
Canal, Rogers noted that "Soviet
pilots are scrambling to their
MIGs."
As the Egyptian army is "in-
capable" of stopping Israeli strikes.
Rogers said, the result is a "dan-
gerous standoff.' Regarding Israeli-
Russian combat, he observed.
"Some experts believe a clash is
inevitable. If it comes, it will prob-
ably be right here over the Suez
Canal."
On the ground, displaying cap-
tured Soviet planes, he said: "One
thing is certain—the Israeli pilots
will know almost as much about
the MIGs as the Russians do them-
selves."
In a filmed interview, the Is-
raeli chief of staff, Gen. Haim
Bar Lev, said Soviet military per-
sonnel were "at the battalion lev-
