Holland Attitude to Israel Unchancred% Statement Was in Error AMSTERDAM (JTA) — Foreign Minister Max van der Stoel has relieve d Charles Thurkow of his duties as foreign office spokesman. In an official communique, the foreign minister stated that recent events made it very difficult, if not impos- sible for Thurkow to con- tinue his duties as spokes- man. Last week, in a weekly talk with journalists, Thur- kow said that the Dutch Mideast policy had changed and now demands Israel's withdrawal from all the areas it has occupied since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Van der Stoel strongly de- nied Thurkow's statement upon his return from the Euromarket ministers' meet- ing in Brussels. Earlier, a government spokesman said the Nether- lands' Mideast policy re- mained "unchanged." He de- nied that Holland had revised this policy in favor of pre- 1967 borders for Israel. He added that Thurkow did so entirely on his own author- ity and in the absence of van der Stoel. Van der Stoel said later that it was very probably the Soviet Union, despite its stat- ed policy of detente, which greatly encouraged the out- break of Mideast hostilities in October. Speaking at the NATO meeting in Brussels, van der Stoel accused the USSR of instigating the Arab oil coun- tries to put long-existing plans for using oil as a weap- on into operation. He said the Soviet Union purposely wanted to put pressure on Western Europe and sow discord. Meanwhile, observers say the defeat of Premier Anker Joergensen and his Social Democratic Party in the na- tional elections may weaken Denmark's long-tiMe pro- Israel policies in the Middle East. Joergensen personally was staunchly pro-Israel. In addi- tion, the appearance of six Communist deputies in the Danish Parliament after an absence of 17 years could bode ill for Danish-Israeli re- lations, they said. In another development, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) announced that it will cut back its flights to Tel Aviv in the coming weeks. A spokesman for the air- line said the move was "strictly commercial" and in no way directed against Is- rael or a surrender to Arab pressure. He said the cut- back would affect most Mid- dle Eastern countries. In Bonn, Chancellor Willy Brandt warned West Ger- mans that the oil crisis would increase inflation, now about 6.6 per cent, create unem- ployment and cause the gov- ernment to make changes in its economic planning. He said West Germany would not take retaliatory measures against the Arab states because of the oil em- bargo. The energy crisis was not identical with the Middle East crisis, he observed. The former would last long after the latter had been resolved.

Russian-made weapons and equipment — and some made in Czechoslovakia — includ- ing hundreds of tanks and artillery pieces, millions of rounds of ammunition, anti- tank missiles, amphibious vehicles and bridge-building equipment were captured from Egypt and Syria during the Yom Kippur War and assimilated into Israel's ar- senal. Some of the weapons, taken intact, were used immediate ly against the enemy. Other items in need of repair saw action against their former owners in later stages .of the fighting. Israel's Corps of Engineers has been enriched with ad- vanced types of bridge- building equipment. This in eludes a Russian tank ferry and mechanized bridges which consist of bridge com- ponents mounted on trucks The Russian artillery seized from Egypt and Syria in- cludes 122 mm. long- and short-barreled guns with ranges from 11,800 meters to over 20 kilometers; 85 mm. and 100 mm. anti-tank guns with 1,000-1,500 meter ranges; and a 3,000-meter- range anti-aircraft gun. Israel also captured guns of various caliber with ranges of 6,000-13,700 meters equipped with computerized radar controlled sighting and firing devices. There are large quantities of Czech-made "Topaz" ar- mored personnel carriers iam Perl described an attack on the French Cultural Mis- sion in New York Tuesday, as "an apparent demonstra- tion against the perfidious policy of the -Pompidou gov- ernment" toward Israel. ' Objects thrown at the mis- sion by persons as yet un- identified shattered several of its windows and damaged its interior. No one was re- ported hurt. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger declared Wed- nesday night that the energy crisis was not simply a prod- uct of the Arab-Israeli war but the inevitable conse- quence of the explosive growth of worldwide demand outrunning the incentives for supply. He called for collective ef- forts to solve it. The Middle East merely made a chronic crisis acute. But the crisis had been corn- ing in any event, he said, ad- dressing the Pilgrim Dinner in his honor at the Europa Hotel. "The United States pro- poses," Kissinger said, "that the nations of Europe, North America and Japan establish an energy action group with a mandate to establish within three months an initial ac- tion program for collabora- tion in all areas of the energy problem." He said the ener- gy-producing nations "should be invited to join it from the very beginning in matters common to both sides." 8—Friday, Dec. 14, 1973 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS THE BIRMINGHAM HOUSE MOTEL has a corner on comfort and convenience 145 S.
