TEL AVIV (JTA) — No
new chief of staff will be
named for Israel's armed
forces until a new defense
minister is selected, informed
sources indicated. Defense
Minister Moshe Dayan has
refrained from appointing a
successor to Lt. Gen. David
Elazar, who resigned last
week, because his own future
position in the cabinet re-
mains uncertain.
A new chief of staff is to
be selected from among
several high-ranking officers
who recently retired from
active duty. These include
Maj. Gen. Israel Tal, the
former deputy chief of staff;
Gen. Yeshayahu Gavish; and
Gen. Ariel (Arik) Sharon, the
Likud leader.
Sharon said he would be
'prepared to quit politics and
return to the army if he is
asked to be chief of staff. He
was strongly supported for
that position by his fellow
Likud leader, Menahem Be-
gin, who acknowledged that
Sharon's return to uniform
would weaken Likud. "But
the needs of the state come
first," Begin told a Likud
forum.
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Israel has been receiving a
"continuous flow" of weapons
from the United States dur-
ing the fighting on the Golan
Heights, Jerry Friedheim,
Defense Department spokes-
man, said Tuesday, in re-
sponse to a newsman's ques-
tion.
He refused to indicate the
nature of weapons but he did
say that the Israelis had in-
dicated they wanted Shrik
air-to-ground missiles to
knock out anti-aircraft sites
/
and also said that while there
have been steady arms ship-
ments to Israel since the end
of the Yom Kippur War, de-
liveries had not been in-
creased since the Syrians be-
gan their daily shooting along
the Israeli-Syrian cease-fire
line a month ago.
It was reported from Ri-
yadh that the United States
has agreed to re-equip and
to start training Saudi Ara-
bia's fastest growing military
force, its national guard. The
national guard is comprised
of 50,000 Bedouin troops who
are garrisoned in Saudia
Arabia's main cities, while
the 40,000-man regular army
is stationed away from the
population centers.
Meanwhile, it was reported
the inflationary process in
the United States apparently
will result in a $158,800,000
less for Israel than it had an-
ticipated it would receive
from the $2,20'0,000,000 in
emergency aid Congress ap-
proved last December at the
request of President Nixon.
This emerged April 4 after
the Senate Armed Services
Committee informed the De-
fense Department that $115,-
800,000 of the $458,500,000 in
procurement authoriza-
tion that the Pentagon was
provided should be financed
by the transfer of the $115,-
800,000 from the emergency
aid earmarked for Israel.
The $155,800,000, a com-
mittee source told the JTA,
represents the difference in
cost between what was ori-
ginally- spent to buy the ma-
terial sent to Israel and the
amount it will now cost for
the Pentagon to replace them
in its stock. The committee
decided that this difference
should be paid out of the
emergency aid $2,200,000,000
fund.
Israel actually was never
given the $2,200,000,000 be-
, cause the Congress directed
that the U.S. share of the
cost of maintaining the Unit-
ed Nations Emergency Force
in the Middle East for one
Oyear should come out of that
--- fund. This amounts to slight-
ly less than $18,000,000.
Informed U.S. and Israel
sources both have indicated
to the JTA that Israel will
receive as a gift a total of
$1,500,000,000 of the emer-
gency fund and that this al-
ready has been virtually used
up by the cost of the arms
and their shipment to Israel.
The formalities, however,
on this division of the $2,200,-
000,000 fund have not yet
been determined.

have fallen in all the wars

He warned Israel's troops
and officers that "you must
remain on a 'constant alert
while strengthening and
building our forces of tomor-
row."
It was learned that Gen.
Eliahu Zeira, who resigned
as chief of the army's intel-

FBI Once Sought
Wiretap on Eban
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
During one of Israeli Foreign
Minister Abba Eban's visits
to the United States several
years ago, the FBI wanted to
put a wiretap on him, former
Attorney General Ramsey
Clark disclosed. But Clark
told Senate investigators that
he denied the request be-
cause Eban's activities did
not threaten the country's
military - activities.
Clark, who was attorney
general in the Johnson ad-
ministration, made this dis-
closure before a joint hearing
of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions subcommitte on surveil-
lance and the Senate Judici-
ary-subcommittee on admin-
istrative practice and pro-
cedure.

to remain in army service,
assuring him that Maj. Gen.
Yitzhak Hofi, the acting chief
of staff, would find him a
post "appropriate to his rank
and ability." The Agranat
report did not ask Zeira to
retire from the army but
only that he was not to han-
dle intelligence work.

Elazar continued to insist
that he- was done a serious
injustice by the Agranat
Commission which, in its
partial report, placed the
burden of responsibility on
him for Israel's lack of mili-

Elazar said in a series of
