Linking Gas Shortage With Blackmail Hit by Dinitz
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (JTA)
— Simha Dinitz, Israel's
ambassador to the United
States, said Monday night
that any attempt to connect
the present gasoline shortage
with the demands to satisfy
Arab political blackmail "is
economically faulty, politi-
cally misleading and morally
wrong."
Dinitz, addressing the 78th
annual convention of the
Jewish War Veterans, noted
that "Some circles claim
that because of the oil short-
age, the United States must
adopt a policy of promoting
peace in the Middle East."
If peace can be achieved in
the Middle East, "then this
most noble goal must be pro-
moted and advanced whether
there is an oil shortage or
not."
Although Dinitz did not
mention anyone by name,
this statement was an ap-
parent reference to the letter
sent out by Otto N. Miller,
the board chairman of Stan-
dard Oil of California, to its
employes and stockholders
urging them to pressure the
U. S. government for greater
understanding of the Arabs.
Miller's subsequent reply to
widespread protests that
peace and security in the
Middle East had to take into
account "the legitimate in-
terests of all the peoples"
was seen as a rationaliza-
tion under pressure.
Dinitz stated that there is
no way to justify the present
view of' the shortage with
what some Arabs might or
might not do in the future.
"So far no curtailment of
production has taken place
anywhere, and not a single
oil well was closed in the
Arab world," he said. "The
reason for the shortage,
therefore, must be looked for
somewhere else."
The main guarantee for
the continuing flow of oil
from the Mideast, Dinitz
said, is to insure stability
in the area. "A United States
policy which is friendly to
all countries in the area and
preserves the balance of
arms and the balance of
power is the best guarantee
of stability," he declared.
Surrender to Arab black-
mail, Dinitz stated. "will not
only produce disastrous re-
sults in their immediate ef-
fects, but will pave the way
for every escalating demand
which is economically un-
necessary and politically dis-
astrous."
On NBC-TV's "Meet the
Press" Sunday, John Love,
director of President Nixon's
Office of Energy Policy, said
the United States will have
to give Arab countries
greater incentive to increase
oil production. He added,
however, that the U.S. would
not change its policy toward
Israel.
Love contended that the
U.S. will require more in
the way of oil imports "or
of major increases, at least
into the mid-80s. As far as
we know, the only countries
that can produce that kind
of increase are the countries
around the Persian Gulf."
He focused on Iran, Saudi
Arabia and Kuwait as the
countries that have to be in-
duced to increase oil pro-
duction.
Love said that the U.S.
must find ways to help these
countries, especially Saudi
Arabia, to find "beneficial
ways to invest the tremen-
dous_ number of dollars gen-
erated by their export of
petroleum."
He noted that the U.S.
cannot simply rely on pump-
ing more dollars into these
countries since they already
have too many dollars;
Mpanwhile. the letter sent
out by Miller, urging the
U.S. to show greater under-
standing of the Arabs, has
prompted Arab pressure on
foreign oil companies oper-
ating in the Arab world.
CAL's position "raises the
specter of an American eco-
nomic giant tailoring its cor-
porate policy and exercising
its domestic influence to
achieve selfish advantage in
the complex • Middle East
situation."
LOD (JTA)—Two young
Black Hebrew women who
arrived in Lod Airport on a
TWA flight from the U.S.
were turned back a few
hours later.
Police at the airport were
under instructions from the
interior ministry not to allow
member of the sect into Is-
rael unless they have special
permission.
Twenty-nine Black Hebrews
living in Dimona will ask for
an order nisi against the gov-
ernment to show cause they
should not be allowed to stay
in Israel.

Joseph B. Glaser, executive
vice president of the CCAR,
informed the company that
he was cancelling his per-
sonal "active" account and
informing his colleague to
join him in a boycott against
their products and services.
Rabbi Glaser sharply con-
demned SOCAL's "ill dis-
guised call for one-sided
support for the Arabs, in
their intransigent struggle
against the State of Israel."
He further charged SOCAL
with "blatantly financially
motivated intrusion into the
delicate area of Middle East
politics."
The letter to Miller in-
cluded Rabbi Glaser's de-
stroyed credit card with the
company.
California Secretary of
The (London) Financial
Times reported from Beirut State Edmund G. Brown Jr.,
that the Federation of Arab urged SOCAL to reverse its

In a letter to Miller, Brown

that of the Pope, all her
descriptive accounts offer an
excellent view from the
"Window on Mount Zion."
She has developed a splendid
story about Israel in all per-
spectives.
Israeli Settler's Inspired Diary
"Window on Mount Zion"
is an appropriate title for a
book in which the author,
Pauline Rose, describes her
life in Israel and the fas-
cinating experiences of a
settler from England who
became rooted in the ancient
homeland.
Pianist, paint e r, able
writer, Mrs. Rose describes
in this book, published by A.
S. Barnes Co., her experi-
ences during the Israel War
of Independence, and what
she encountered during the
siege in 1948.
With her husband, she
settled in Israel in 1959, and
her encounters with all ele-
ments, the years of tensions,
including the Six-Day War,
the reactions from Arabs
and Christians—all combine
to make her story a valuable
addition to the scores of
books relating to the
struggles from which Is-
rael's statehood emerged
into a glorious reality.
Her descriptions are paeans
of faith and of joy in the
experiences that relate to
settlers who survived the
Holocaust to those who pio;
neered in the making of the
state.
Whether it is the descrip-
letters to the presidents of
foreign oil companies noting
that the energy crisis is di-
rectly linked with the Middle
East crisis.
The letter, according to the
Financial Times, also urged
the oil company presidents
to point out to their govern-
ments that the Arabs "will
not permit the United States
to continue to benefit from
Arab oil wealth while it
backed their enemy," pre-
sumably Israel.
The federation also praised
SOCAL for its action.
Fuad Mattar, a prominent
columnist for the Lebanese
daily, Al Nahar, suggested
sever@ days ago that
SOCAL's advice to its em-
ployes and stockholders was
more effective than all the
calls for the use of Arab oil
as a political action.

Egypt's Air Force
TEL AVIV (JTA)—An Is-
raeli army spokesman Wed-
nesday confirmed reports
from the United States
sources that North Korean
pilots are flying in the Egyp-
tian air force.
He said Israel's informa-
tion was that between 10 and
20 North Korean pilots were
already in the service of the
air force.
An Egyptian foreign minis-
ter visited North Korea sev-
eral months ago, and it is be-
lieved here that Cairo may
have sought assistance from
North Korea because of dif-
ficulty in procuring aid from
the Soviet Union whose mili-
tary advisers were expelled
from Egypt last year.
