The legislation also pro- vides $300,000,000 in military credits to Israel for the pur- chase of arms and $50,000,000 in economic aid. The Senate added $36,500,000 to assist Soviet Jews emigrating to Israel although the State de- partment testified that the funds were not needed. At hearings before the For- eign Relations Committee, administration spokesmen clashed with witnesses op- posed to the measure and dis- puted committee chairman Fulbright's contention that there was no urgency to act on the President's request and that its passage at this time might have adverse ef- fects on the Arab-Israeli peace conference. Deputy Secretary of State Kenneth Rush, one of the ad- ministration witnesses, ar- gued that on the contrary, the $2,200,000,000 was essen- tial now "to give assurances to Israel" and a "warning to the Arabs" not to start the war again. Rush said the administra- tion wanted the measure passed by both houses before Congress adjourned for its five-week Christmas recess. The measure was vigorous- ly opposed by Rep. James A. McClure (R. Idaho), who said the U.S. was obliged to help Israel defend her pre- June 1967 borders against aggression "but we should not do more. We cannot have one set of standards for the Arabs and another for Israel; our policy should be based on our own self-interest," Mc- Clure said. He decried use of the term "oil blackmail" to charac- terize the current Arab oil embargo of the West. McClure recently returned from a visit to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan and Kuwait. He admitted to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency later that the Kuwaiti gov- ernment had paid the air fare for himself and an aide on the trip but said he paid his own hotel bills and other expenses. Sen. James Abourezk (D. S.D.) denounced the ad- ministration's "bankrupt pol- icy in the Middle East." He argued that it was "ludi- crous" for Congress to ap- propriate huge amounts for military assistance to Israel when refusing social pro- grams for U.S. citizens. Meanwhile, the House Ap- propriations Committee ap- proved a measure calling for $1,700,000,000 in grants to Israel with the balance of $500,000,000 to be spent by the President if needed but subect to Congress' approval. The House Foreign Affairs Committee Tuesday approved an authorization bill calling Americans Urged to Withstand Arabs' Crude' Oil Diplomacy Noted syndicated columnist William S. White, whose commentary appears in the Detroit News, described as "c rude diplomacy" the Arabs' "turning on or turn- ing off of a crude oil valve" and urged Americans not to allow it to dictate the for- eign policy of the United States. White said in his Dec. 13 WILLIAM S. WHITE article that the U. S. can "either honorably win or meanly lose a confrontation whose symbol is as homely as an oil rig but as important as any crisis since Cuba in the 1960s." The writer blamed the So- viet Union, whose "strategy contemplates eventual Soviet control of the whole of the Mideast — a control neces- sarily involving the prior destruction of Israel as a pro- Western beachhead — and not merely control of the T.

The balance would be provided in the form of grants or loans at the admin- istration's discretion with re- payment over 25 years. Later, the Senate reversed its appropriations committee by a voice vote and without dissent approved an amend- ment by Sen. Edmund S. Muskie (D. Me.) to provide $36,500,000 to help settle Sov- iet Jewish immigrants in Israel. The committee had earlier voted down the assistance measure on the basis that the administration did not want to appropriate the funds.

"This strategy, moreover, involves outflanking the Western alliance over the whole basin of the Mediter- ranean and domination of the Indian Ocean as well." If these intentions can be impressed on the American people, said White, they can put up with the inconveni- ence of an oil shortage. But, he adds, can the fear of for- eign involvement be over- come and the American people be made to realize the realities? And to realize that "when the Arabs say they will loosen the screw on the oil pipe if only Israel will first withdraw from the pro- tective buffer areas she won in the 1967 war, this is no reasonable compromise but rather a demand that Israel begin a process of slow mili- tary suicide? "That to support Israel here is no more to be senti- mentally 'pro-Israel,' or 'pro- Jewish,' than our support of Russia against Hitler was for the love of Josef Stalin? That not some 'Jewish lobby' but rather the gut, vital interests of the United States of Amer- ica is the point here?" White said he has seen sharply divided Jewish opinion in this country. "Most of my own liberal Jewish friends and acquaintances indeed are not coming to Israel's defense." Studies Tailor-Made for Students at Front REHOVOT — Special pro- grams tailored to the needs of individual students of the Weizmann Institute's Fein- berg Graduate School — who are now in active service — were announced by Graduate School Dean Haim Harari. In a letter to students at the front, Prof. Harari in- formed them that the aca- demic year would begin Sunday. He asked each of them to come to the grad- uate school, when next on leave, to work out a studies program with their academic advisers. Some courses will be given in the form of tutor- ing, others will be repeated more than once (if necessary during the summer as well), and, in some instances, written summaries and bibli- ographies will be supplied to students who wish to keep up with a particular subject while they are still in uni- form. In the event of mass de- mobilization, Prof. Harari added, efforts will be made to begin new courses in the middle of the academic year.
