– However, one-fourth of the re-

Israeli friendship in the hope of
improving chances for a settle-

U. S. should reduce its military
power worldwide and review its
commitments to "lessen chances
of involvement in local con-
flicts."
McGovern sees "an old Czarist
carry-over . • . of wanting to have
access to the Eastern Mediter-

But McGovern does not foresee
a big clash in the Mid East.
Regarding American aid to Is-
rael, McGovern asserts; "as long
as Russia keeps supplying arms to
the Arabs, we have to make sure
that the balance is sufficient for
Israel to defend itself , . . I think
we've been right in seeking to
counteract (the Soviet's) mischief-
making in the Middle East by
selling arms to Israel. And we
must leave no doubt that we are
committing ourselves to Israel's
survival."
Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D-
Wash.) said Wednesday the
Soviet Union has nearly 600
supersonic military planes based
in the Middle East. Some are
so advanced, he said, they "are
not yet widely available even
within the Russian air force."
Sen. Jackson said his figures
meant that the Israeli air force
was outnumbered five or six to
one in supersonic aircraft.

that once peace is achieved with
the Arabs, Israel has to be spe-

know where they have stationed
special guards along the Euro-
pean borders after signing peace
treaties?"
Mrs. ,vleir said it was no secret
that one of Israel's main points
of discussion with Washington
was that "We need more Phan-
