S. L. A. Marshall Voices Concern
.1Iii1'cia Smith
for Morale of Israel Home-Front Ire(/ Bruce Osher
Brig. Gen. S. L. A. Mar-
shall, military historian and
author just returned from the
Middle East, said last week
that he is concerned about
Israel's future, partly be-
cause Israeli civilians are de-
moralized in the aftermath of
the Yom Kippur War.
"The troops in the field are
still cheerful," he said, "but
the people on the home-front
cannot get over their losses—
the fact that 2,500 of their
people were killed in 18 days.
"Everywhere I went, the
people talked of their casual-
ties, and they all said it
would be like the United
States losing 180,000 in 18
days. The Israeli people are
among the most stout-hearted
people I have ever met.
Something must be done to
hearten that community.
When I was there, the Israeli
leaders seemed incapable of
giving one inspirational word
to their people."
Marshall, speaking before
the Flint Industrial Execu-
tive Club at the IMA Audi-
torium, said the Israeli com-
mand miscalculated Egyptian
maneuvers and let the Egyp-
tians get the jump on them
in the latest war.
He added, however, that
the Israelis probably would
have wiped out the Egyptian
forces in four more days,
had the war not been stopped.
"But the Israelis knew
they didn't have much time
for a conclusive victory," he
said. "It was inevitable that
with the Egyptians facing de-
feat, the great powers would
blow the whistle."
Marshall, who also spoke
at a press conference at the
Sheraton Motor Inn, noted
that the Soviet Union was
behind the Egyptians and
Syrians and said that the
word "detente" means noth-
ing more than a continuation
of the cold war.

the Diaspora) in Tel Aviv,

ish religious life in Romania.

Jews to Israel since the Hobo-
caust, and directs and super-
vises human needs programs -

Joint Distribution Committee,
an agency funded by the

that the Romanian govern-
ment had curtailed emigra-
tion by Romanian Jews to
Israel.
"There. was. no change
whatsoever in the policy of
the Romanian government
regarding emigration to Is-
rael. Those who want to go
to Israel are at liberty to do
so. I left Romania only on
Sunday afternoon, which
means after the Observer
story had been published,
and I know of no change."
Rabbi Rosen is en route to
the United States for a speak-
ing tour on behalf of the
United Jewish Appeal.
Last month, President Nic-
olae Ceausescu of Romania,
meeting with a Jewish dele-
gation in New York, said the
Jews in his country who wish
to emigrate would continue to
have their applications for
exit visas granted, though he
expressed hope that the 50-
to 60,000 Jews in Romania
would elect to remain.
