7 41111.11111111590•011111•••• Arabs Got More Aid From the U. S. Than From Soviets, Rep. Long Reveals By JOSEPH POLAKOFF (Copyright 1974, JTA, Inc.) WASHINGTON — In the six years preceding the Yom Kippur War, the United States provided the 11 Arab countries that joined in that conflict against Israel almost 214 times the amount of assistance that the Soviet Union had supplied them, according to Rep. Clarence D. -Long (D.Md.). In statements and statis- tical data that he prepared for formal presentation to Congress, Rep. Long made public that U.S. direct as- sistance to the Arabs and "invisible foreign aid" in the form of tax credits to Ameri- can oil companies for the U.S. fiscal years 1968-73 totaled $8,950,000,000. Total Soviet assistance over the same period that ended last June 30, he esti- mated, was $3,700,000,000 — of which $2,600,000,000 was in military assistance and $1,- 100,000,000 in economic sup- port. His statistics, he said, do not include Soviet support to the Arab states during and after the Yom Kippur War nor U.S. assistance in that time, including the $2,200,- 000,000 program legislated in December to help Israel off- set her war costs. The "invisible" aid in tax credits, he said, tot ale d $7,025,000,000 which was "claimed by American oil companies on Arab oil royal- ties." This figure, he said, "may well be low." The royalties paid to Arab gov- ernments "divert d o 11 a r from the U.S. Treasury" under the U.S. system of "dollar-for-dollar tax credits for royalties paid to Arab governments" that he said "has enabled American oil companies to continue high levels of investment in the Arab oil states." "In fact," he chhrged, is probable that the United States encouraged these mas. sive investments in Arab oil countries by helping the Arabs write appropriate tax laws." An increase in royal- ties under the skyrocketing prices being paid for Arab oil, he added, "may help shield from U.S. taxes other foreign operations of the companies such as refining and shipping, for years to come." Long provided tables of United States arms supplies and economic aid and U.S. assistance to the Arab coun- tries through the financing by the U.S. to multilateral agencies such as the World Bank. The total American gov- ernment assistance in those channels was as follows in millions of dollars: Jordan, $456; Saudi Arabia, $329; Libya, $70; Morocco, $425; -411111r: • * * 4 • 4 •• • le ID • • , a • • • ' , • •01. • Israel Labor Sees Austomation Rise for School in Iran JERUSALEM—Labor scar- city caused by the mobiliza- tion of reservists has given a boost to automation in Is- rael.

Soviet Union "until the Soviets are Willing to help us calm ten- sions in the world, especially in the Middle East" and also "change our tax policies in regard to oil to stop en- couraging U.S. investment capital to go abroad;" and induce the oil companies to invest in American explora- tions.

"The figure of total U.S. assistance to the Arabs of $7,950,000,000, he empha- sized in his statement, "does not even include $1,100,000,- 000 in various forms of eco- nomic aid which the U.S. has provided the Soviet Union over the last two years."
