one characteristic of the C5

its ability to airlift critically

which are too large or too
heavy for any other plane in

The world's largest air-

Yariv Removed
From Duties to
Run in Election
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Re-
serves Gen. Aharon Yariv
was removed from the ac-
tive duty list Tuesday so that
he can run for the Knesset
in the Dec. 31 elections. His
demobilization was in com-
pliance with a law prohibit-
ing men in uniform from
running for public office.
Gen. Yariv was called to
active duty when the Yom
Kippur War broke out and
served after the cease fire
as Israel's chief negotiator
with Egypt in the Kilometer
101 talks.
He signed a six-point agree-
ment with Egypt that among
other things arranged a
mutual exchange of prison-
ers of war which was carried
out smoothly last month. But
an impasse developed on the
issue of disengagement for
forces and the talks were
suspended, freeing Gen.
Yariv from the need to re-
main in uniform.
The disengagement issue
will be on the agenda of the
Geneva Conference opening
today.
Gen. Arik Sharon, whose
situation was similar to that
of Gen. Yariv, has elected
to remain on active duty
even if that invalidates his
candidacy for the Knesset on
the Likud opposition ticket.
Gen. Yariv is running on the
Labor Alignment list.

Much of the moral support
they receive is from others
who have gone through the
same grisly experience:
widows of the Six-Day War.
They helped to inform the
younger women of the news,
lending their strength by
saying "I know what you're
suffering. I am still going
through it."
The war widows will re-
ceive pensions, but not
enough to stay at home with
their children without work-
ing. The ministry of defense
and other organizations, par-
ticularly the Habad hasidic
movement, do their best for
such bereaved families, who
are invited to services, par-
ades and military cere
monies.
Boys are given Bar Mitzva
ceremonies with all the trap-
pings the mother cannot af-
ford: a hall, banquet and
expensive gifts. Habad also
sends gifts during the festi-
vals to show the widows and
orphans that they are not
forgotten when other fami-
lies are together.

From Fahrni,
and Gromyko
GENEVA (JTA) — Egypt-
ian Foreign Minister Ismail
Fahmi said Wednesday that
he is attending the Arab-
Israeli Geneva conference in
order to secure "a total Is-
raeli withdrawal from the
occupied Arab territories and
the respect of the national
rights of the Palestinian
people."
The Egyptian minister said
that the Middle East situa-
tion is "still highly explo-
sive" and the cease fire
fragile." He expressed his
delegation would seek to have
the conference implement
the United Nations resolution
dealing with the Middle East
and said they would expect
"tangible results."
Gromyko, who arrived
from Moscow with a large
party of diplomatic and Mid-
east experts, said the Soviet
Union "will firmly support
the just struggle of the Arab
people and will seek a settle-
ment of the Middle East
problem on the basis of the
implementation of "the rele-
vant United Nations decis-
ion." He said that the Soviet
delegation to the conference
will "do everything possible
to facilitate the successful
work of the peace confer-
ence" and appeals to all the
participants "to show good
will and a sense of realism."
Fahmi and Gromyko met
to iron out a joint strategy
for the conference. Gromyko
also met with U.S. Secretary
of State Henry A. Kissinger.
The Israeli delegation led
by Foreign Minister Abba
Eban arrived in Geneva
Thursday evening.
