U. S. Self-Sufficiency in Energy Vital to Avoid Arab Oil Blackmail Meany
NEW YORK (JTA) —
George Meany, president of
the AFL-CIO, declared at an
Israel Bond dinner before an
audience of 1,200 in the
Americana Hotel that "we
must move now, massively
and dramatically, to make
A m e r i c a self-sufficient in

energy" to prevent Arab oil
blackmail from dictating U.S.
foreign policy.
"What is involved here,"
Meany said, "is more than
the issue of American sup-
port for Israel. If that sup-
port is diminished or de-
stroyed by the oil weapon—
and that is how the Arabs
consider their oil, as a weap-
on — then other American
policies can be determined
the same way."
Abraham D. Bea me and
Mayor John V. Lindsay, in
paying tribute to Louis Stul-
berg, president of the Inter-
national Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, who received
the Israel Prime Minister's
Silver Medal "in recognition
of his leadership in the Israel
Bond program."
More than $5,000,000 in Is-
rael Bonds were sold at the
dinner.
Meany said, "The Ameri-
Meany joined labor and can people need to under-
management representatives, stand that even if the Arab
Israeli leaders, Mayor-elect oil embargo is lifted, the
price of oil will continue to
go up and up and up. It is
the old story — squeeze the
supply to jack up the price.
And other oil companies —
American oil companies —
are going along with the
game. It is very, very profit-
able.
"There is no real way out
of this problem except to
develop self-sufficiency. We
must move with the same de-
termination that put a man
on the moon. We must do
this not just for Isreal's sake
—but for our own."

Always A Step Ahead
Need for Volunteers Is Real
Because They Have Israel's
There is no exaggeration from The Jewish News as were needed to pick fruit
in Israel's appeal for volun-
teer manpower, according to
a spokesman for the Ameri-
can Zionist Youth Founda-
tion, who noted: "An econo-
mic crisis, although much
less exciting, can hurt a na-
tion every bit as much as
can war."

Four Israeli Soldiers Wounded
on Egyptian and Syrian Fronts
TEL, AVIV (JTA) —Four I
Israeli soldiers were wound- 1
ed in heavy exchanges of
fire on the Syrian and Egyp-
tian fronts last weekend.
Both fronts echoed with
artillery, mortar and small
arms fire as Syrian and
Egyptian forces tried to in-
terfere with fortification
work being carried out by
Israeli troops in their sec-
tors and the Egyptians tried,
without success, to establish
new positions outside their
cease fire perimeter.
An Israeli soldier was kill-
ed and two were wounded in
shooting incidents north of
the Kilometer 101 checkpoint
on the Suez-Cairo road.
A military spokesman re-
ported that three Israeli sol-
diers were wounded when
Syrian forces opened fire in
the vicinity of Nafaj village
east of Kuneitra on the Golan
Heights.

volunteers, Sandee Rovner,
assistant to the director of
the AZYF, said:

of war is in a kind of limbo,
is when Israel really needs

One Israeli soldier was

front when Egyptian forces
opened fire south of Ismailia.
The Egyptians also opened
fire several times in the

central section south of Kilo-

BONN (JTA) — The mayor
of Berlin, Klaus Schuetz is to
visit Israel, probably in 1974,
it was disclosed in Berlin.
No firm date has yet been
fixed.
Schuetz was recently under
heavy fire from Arab envoys
in West Germany for attend-
ing a pro-Israeli rally organ-
ized by the Jewish commu=
nity in West Berlin during
the recent war.
and drive tractors and work
in factories. This is not glam-
orous work, and I suppose
that's why many more com-
mitted youths aren't going.
"But there were those who
were willing to do what was
needed — no matter what r-
and perhaps the youths will-
ing to make that kind of com-
mitment have all gone to Is-
rael already. I don't honestly
believe that that's the case,
but I do know that we have
to try much harder today to
make people aware that Is-
rael faces a severe economic
crisis." She added that 20
per cent of the working force
is still in the active reserves.
is a trade union country,"
Meany stated: "To us Israel
represents the kind of social
and economic progress that
can be made by a free peo-
ple, a free working people,
in a free government resting
on free, democratic institu-
tions. Labor's commitment
to that little land will last as
long as our commitment to
the values she upholds, and
which we uphold in our own
land in difficult times."
Critical of the role of the
Soviet Union in the Middle
East, as well as detente,
Meany said of the October
war that Israel was faced
with "the most concentrated
military force ever assem-
bled in the history of war-
fare."
He declared that in the last
six years, the Soviets gave
Egypt and Syria 4,000 tanks,
"more than triple the num-
ber that Adolf Hitler used to
invade Russia in World War
II — and he had a lot of
land to cover as well as mil-
lions of people to conquer."
AIM HIGH
Some young people who
went to Israel independently
of a group found upon ar-
rival that no one had time
to deal with them. Many,
while committed, were un-
prepared for the different
type of living situation. How-
ever, fewer than 10 out of
1,000 youths who went to
Israel in groups through the
AZYF have returned — less
than 1 per cent, the spokes-
man said.
