Russ Resupply of Arms to Arabs 'Awesome' (Continued from Page 1) "Awesome evidence of So- viet resupply of materiel to the Egyptians was every- where, the congressmen re- ported. "From Cairo to the Suez Canal the subcommittee saw endless emplacements of missiles and columns of tanks, trucks and other mili- tary equipment. There was not a kilometer between Cairo and the Canal that had not been fortified." The Egyptians had placed great stress on deception in the initial movements, and to a great extent it worked. "Israeli sources indicate they were aware of Egyptian troop movements on the west side of the canal, but assumed these were regular army training maneuvers. Yet the Egyptians were able to move substantial numbers of troops, perhaps 70,000 or 80,000, plus substantial tanks and trucks, into the canal area undetected," the report said. Some cover was pro- vided by construction of large earthenworks, concealing ve- hicles and personnel. Details of the crossing, said the congressmen, were provided by their Egyptian hosts in a booklet filled with color photographs. Every member of the subcommittee received a copy. The Israelis admitted to the delegation that "they were aware of the Arab ac- tions of moving troons but misread Arab intentions. When the Arabs moved air- craft forward, they assumed it was to be in the defensive cover of the SAM missiles. When the Russians evacuated Damascus and other areas, they thought it was because the Soviets desired to have no part in the Arab action. Actually, they now conclude it was just the opposite—the Russians had prepared every- thing and were leaving as ac- tion commenced." Gen. David Elazer, chief of staff of the Israeli armed forces, said they had seen the Arab preparation for war but did not believe they would attack. At 4 a.m. on Oct. 6, he was warned that the first strike would come at 6 p.m. The Israelis started to mobilize at 10 a.m.; the Syrians and Egyptians at- tacked simultaneously at 2 p.m. The fact that the attack came on Yom Kippur held an unexpected advantage, the delegation was told. Because all Israelis were either at home or at the synagogue, "it was easier to contact tact them than would other- wise have been the case. Many rabbis announced in synagogue that men would report to their units follow- ing services." "Historically," the con- gressmen's report said, "there have been three bases of Is- raeli military strength: a good air force, good armor and rapid mobilization cap- ability. "This time the Arabs had SAMs to counterattack the good air force, incredible quantities of antitank missiles to counteract the good armor, and a surprise attack that took effect before the Israelis could mobilize." The delegation, who sub- mitted their report to the House Armed Services Com- mittee, noted there were , many lessons for the U.S. `Russian Jew Cooks in Peru' Authored by Woman Architect Violeta Autumn is a de- tions with charming line scendant of one of the Jew- drawings which are not only ish families who came to decorative but helpful in pre- from the Yom Kippur War.
