Israel Acquires New Defensive
Weapons; Arab Protest Ignored

Series of Anti-Semitic Protocols"
Protested in Argentina, Greece

ATHENS (JTA)—Two Jewish leaders met here Friday with a member of
the Greek cabinet to voice concern over a stepped-up series of anti-Semitic state-
ments by senior prelates of the Greek Orthodox Church.
Joseph Lovinger and Daniel Alhantis, president and vice-president of the
Central Council of Greek Jewish Communities, told Gerassimos Frangatos, minis-
ter for education and religious affairs, that the Jewish community feels insuf-
ficiently protected against such statements.
They referred especially to a remark made early in March by the Bishop
of Chios in the presence of prominent government leaders. The bishop referred
to the discredited "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" in describing Judaism and
Zionism as "dangers to Greek youth and civilization."
In an official reply, Frangatos said such remarks come from "irrespon-
sible people who represent neither the state nor the church." He stressed that
"the Greek state dos not differentiate among Greek citizens" and considers
Greek Jews "beloved and honored citizens."
Jewish circles here noted, however, that Frangatos did not indicate what
measures—if any—the military government planned to take against the Bishop
of Chios and other bishops who have made similar statements, or how—if at
all—it would act to prevent such declarations in the future. The Greek Orthodox
Church is the "state religion," and the government has ample means to control
remarks by its leaders.

BUENOS AIRES (JTA)—The author of allegations that there is a Zionist-
Jewish plot to destroy Argentina claimed that he is not an anti-Semite, just
"anti-Zionist" Dr. Walter Beveraggi Allende, a right-wing political figure who
is a professor at the Buenos Aires law school, made that statement in a letter
intended to answer protests against his activities which Jewish leaders lodged
last week with Interior Minister Arturo Mor Roig.
According to Allende, he is supported in his "struggle against Zionism"
by a "national anti-Zionism command representing all economic and social
sectors of our fatherland and all its geographic components." Although he
did not identify the group, it is believed that it is inspired and organized by
the Arab League here. Allende defined Zionism as a "powerful, aggressive inter-
national, imperialistic organization based on the monopoly of monetary instru-
ments on a world scale."
Allende's charges, reminiscent of the Protocals of the Elders of Zion, first

TEL AVIV (JTA)—Israel's defense forces announced the incorporation
of the American Lockheed Hercules CC-103 into its ranks, The giant military
transport plane can carry 92 soldiers or 64 paratroopers or 74 stretchers, can
launch pilotless planes, and can be used as a midair fueling station and as
an aerial command post.
But its most important characteristic is its ability to take off from and
land on short strips, even improvised ones. The Hercules transports saw action
in Israel's recent exercises in the Sinai. Each costs $4,000,000. At the same
time, a contract for construction of three submarines for Israel's Navy by the
British Vickers firm was understood to have been signed April 6.
The submarines will be small, conventional ones of the 'coastal" variety
in the 500-ton range. Egypt mounted a diplomatic offensive to block the
contract. According to Arab diplomats in London, Vickers also'offered—with
British government approval—to build submarines for Egypt. Neither the de-
fense ministry nor the Israel Embassy would comment on these reports.
Arms supplies are traditionally never revealed by official sources.
An Arab League delegation visited Vickers last week and threatened
it with a total boycott unless it canceled the Israeli contract. The delegation
was told that Vickers would go through with the contract no matter what the
league might do. Several Arab countries are negotiating with Vickers for
various purchases despite the Arab League threat.
Also being incorporated into the Israel army is an improved American
Patton tank—the 1A60-MM—in addition to the Patton 3A60-MM already in
the ranks. The improved tank is equipped with an infra-red device that allows
for waging nighttime battles. It is also better-protected and can cross water
obstacles to a depth of 4.11 meters (13.5 feet). Last week the army announced
its incorporation of another American weapon. the 175-mm cannon. The back-
bone of the Israeli army is now American-made.
An additional novelty is the fourth new weapon announced last week—
a Czech-built Katyusha-rocket launcher. These units contain 32 rockets of
130-mm. caliber, all of which can be fired in a single salvo. The launchers are
mounted on Czech-made vans called Praeas. Both launchers and vans were
captured by Israel during the Six-Day War and used by its artillery units.
The chief of staff of Israel's armed forces put to rest speculation that
the new long-range artillery received from the U.S.—the MMV-107—indicated
that Israel may pull back from the Suez Canal banks.- Maj. Gen. David Elazar
told artillery cadet graduates that "the new long-range pieces have strength-

Report Increased
USSR Emigration

Community to Join Israel
on 24th Year of Statehood

TEL AVIV (JTA)—A slight in-
crease in the number of Jewish
immigrants ariving from the So-
viet Union was noticed in March
and the trend continued during
the first 10 days of April.
Avrabam Agmon, director gen-
eral of the finance ministry, who
served two tours of duty at the
Israeli Embassy in Moscow—a
total of six years—claimed that
unless the Soviet authorities halt
emigration, the number of Jews,
departing will reach hundreds of
thousands, perhaps millions.
Premier Golda Meir, who made
a guest appearance on the pro-
gram, said she hoped Soviet emi-
gres would settle in development
areas of their own, just as there
are North African and Anglo-
Saxon development areas in Israel.
