high side but agreed with his re-
port of 600 Soviet supersonic jets
in Egypt and Syria. They said
there was nothing new in those
figures. The officials maintained
that the Soviet pilots were in Egypt
for training purposes but have
been known to fly actual combat
missions before the Suez cease-
fire went into effect last Aug. 8.
Witnesses before the subcom-
mittee on the Near East of the
House Foreign Affairs Commit-
tee did not favor the creation
of an independent Palestinian
state.
Testifying in hearings on the
Palestinian movement in 1971,
Paul A. Jureidini of the American
Institutes for Research in Ken-
sington, Md., said he favored some
kind of plebiscite in the West Bank
area to "start a debate among the
Palestinians as to what kind of
country they want."
Dr. Amos Perlmutter of the
Center for International Affairs
of Harvard said there was "no
room for a third state." He added
that "the creation of an entity
whose chief spokesmen are the
guerrillas would be a source of
instability." Though he could not
see a state with the present guer-
rilla leadership at its head, Perl-
mutter said that the conservative
political leadership could vindicate
itself and become viable spokes-
men for Palestinian nationalism.
The guerrilla movement, he said,
"has made a tremendous impact
on Palestinian consciousness, but
it is a long road yet to structure
and sovereignty."
Jureidini told the committee
members in attendance, including
chairman Lee Hamilton (D., 'Ind.)
that the Jordanians coexisted with
the Palestinian guerrilla movement

said that the guerrillas served a

cease-fire lines from becoming

The Suez Canal probably will
not be open for 10 or 15 years
because "Egypt is not strong
enough in the world of Arab em-
otionalism to make a separate
settlement with Israel." Rep. Ed-
ward J. Derwinski, (R., Ill.) told
the Near East subcommittee hear-
ing on the implications of the re-
opening of the Suez Canal. He said
that the Arabs cannot agree on a
total package and no one leader
is strong enough to take inde-
pendent action.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Sen.
Henry M. Jackson (D., Wash.)
told the Senate that "the overeager,
sometimes-frantic maneuvering of
the secretary of state has helped
make the Soviet Union a major
Middle Eastern power." He said
that "American policy in the Mid
East imperils not only the security
of Israel, but the peace of the
world."
Referring to the recent massive
delivery of supersonic Soviet air-
craft to Egypt and Syria and the
continued delay in answering the
Israeli request for additional Phan-
toms, Jackson said: "We have
been practicing in the Middle East
a carrot-and-stick diplomacy in
which the Soviet Union and the
Arab states are offered the carrot
while Israel gets the stick."
Jackson detailed present Rus-
sian assistance to the Arabs: 100
Russian officers of general or ad-
miral rank in Egypt, 600 super-
sonic military aircraft based in
Syria, Iraq and Egypt, and 200
fully trained combat pilots per-
manently based in Egypt.
State Department officials con-
ceded that Sen. Jackson was cor-
rect when he said the Arab
states outnumbered Israel six
to one in jet aircraft but main-
tained that the -pilot-to-aircraft
ratio "sharply favors" the Is-
raelis. They suggested that the
Egyptians had the preponder-
ance of planes but not enough
pilots trained to fly them. They
refused to speculate whether the
large number of Russian pilots
in Egypt changed the ratio sub-
stantially.
The officials said that his figures
for high-ranking Soviet officers
and combat pilots were on the

The JTA had received reports
that requests for licenses for all
types of military equipment were
being held up in the Defense De-
partment by an allegedly pro-Arab
aide to the secretary of defense.
The State Department spokes-
man said there was no interruption
of the "continuing military supply
relationship with Israel."

ZOA President Urges
Congressmen Drop Bills to
Bring Soviet Jews Here
NEW YORK (JTA)—Herman L.
Weisman, president of the Zionist
Organization of America, urged
Congress to drop proposed legisla-
tion that would open U.S. immi-
gration to Soviet Jews on grounds
that such legislation "can only di-
vert attention from their primary
demand to be permitted to go to
Israel."
In a statement, Weisman said
that congressmen who have recom-
mended a special adjustment of
American immigration quotas are
"sincere, well intentioned and sen-
sitive to the Kremlin's repressive
policies toward its Jewish citizens."
But, he continued, their efforts
"ignore the fact that every state-
ment, appeal and petition by Soviet
Jews seeking to emigrate cites
their right, and their need, to live
full Jewish lives in Israel."
A bill to authorize 30,000 U.S.
immigration visas for Soviet
Jews has been introduced in the
House by Rep. Edward Koch,
New York Democrat. A similar
bill was introduced in the Senate
by Sen. Clifford Case, Republi-
can of New Jersey, and is co-
sponsored by Sen. Jacob K.
Javits, New York Republican.
Both bills are presently in com-
mittee.
Weisman announced the designa-
tion of Sept. 12-18 as American
Zionist-Soviet Jewry Solidarity
Week. He said the event would
stress "the resurgence of Zionism
among Jews in the Soviet Union,
historically a fertile breeding
ground for Zionist feeling and ex-
pression."
