Shotgun Wedding
TEL AVIV (JTA)—It was
just before cease fire when
a tank platoon commander,
whose unit was engaged in
a battle received the radio
message from headquarters:
"Are you the one that was
scheduled to marry on Thurs-
day?" He replied yes.
"Do you still want to
marry your fiance?" came
the next question.
Between one salvo and an-

other, he replied yes again.
On Friday, the wedding
was held on the east bank
of the Suez Canal, opposite
Ismailia. Families of the
bride and g r o o m were
brought to the place while
the army chief chaplain, Gen.
Mordechai Piron, officiated.
The wedding cake was in
the shape of a tank.
NEW YORK — India's
avowal of support for the
Arab cause in the Mideast
crisis has sparked much
criticism from her critics
and the India press.
Critics affirm that India's
neutralism and nonalignment
have withered and that India
acted hastily in announcing
its position at the United Na-
tions.

Prime Minister Indira

Gandhi said the predomin-
antly Hindu state followed a
"consistent and firm" policy
in the Middle East. She
denied that "public opinion"
was against India's unwav-
ering support of the Arabs.
However, politicians, edi-
torials and letters to news-
papers have attacked the
government position, calling
its intervention "very child-
ish." One political leader
said, "By rushing to hold
Israel responsible for the
present war our government
has destroyed what little
possibility there was for tM
play of constructive diplo-
macy."
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia
reduced by 10 per cent sup-
plies of crude oil to India's
state-owned oil corporation.
She is also angered as a re-
sult of being dropped from
the Saudis' list of favored
nations, despite her recent
avowal of the Arab cause.
