Friday, Nov. 3, 1972—S Dayan Is Most Popular to Succeed Golda JERUSALEM (JTA) —De- fense Minister Moshe Dayan is the choice of a majority of Israelis to succeed Golda Meir. Pollsters asked Israelis to choose between Dayan and Deputy Premier Yigal Allon, and 68.9 per cent said they preferred Dayan, while 20.7 per cent said they supported Allon. The rest had no pref- erence between the two. Asked to choose between Allon and Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir, the Israelis chose Alban, giving him 61.8 per cent and Sapir 18.5 per cent. ?S Xperienced Xcellen(' Xtremely Reasonable tile()66 I LET MY BROTHER FIT ME, YOU SHOULD TOO! TWA, however, has single- plane service for Tel Aviv from New York, Los Ange- les, Chicago, Boston, Wash- ington and Baltimore. In addition, TWA has ser- vice in St. Louis and Detroit with a change of planes en route to Israel. These eight centers form a nucleus em- bracing much of urban America. Despite these obvious ad- vantages to TWA, however, Israel actually is not asking to reduce TWA's operations. El Al feels choked from the expanding pressure from nine third-country flag car- riers, all based in Europe and capable either on their own or through connecting services to transport passen- gers between most major ur- ban centers in the United States and Israel via their own countries. These are Lufthansa, BOAC, Alitalia, KLM, SAS, Britis h-Euro- pean, Air France, Olympic and Swissair. Since the Israelis and the Americans discussed t h e problems in 1968, most of t h e European companies have received additional landing rights in the United States and thereby improved their services for flights to and from Israel. Meanwhile, El At was left standing still.
