Fulbright's Defeat Viewed as Israel's Gain

(Continued from Page 1)
for Israel in the Senate.
(Another gain was the vic-
tory of former Senator
Wayne Morse of Oregon, one
of 'Israel's strongest support-
ers in the Senate, who won
the Democratic nomination
for the Senate in Oregon
Tuesday).
The U. S. position toward
Israel was not a factor in the
primary campaign, in which
victory is tantamount to elec-
tion in November, but Bump-
ers and Fulbright were in al-
most direct opposition in
their views toward Israel.
Fulbright's antipathy toward
U. S. aid to Israel has long
been established, although he
seemed to indicate a sudden,
if almost imperceptible,
change of heart in the final
stages of his fight for re-elec-
tion.
Bumpers, however, indi-
cated backing for a strong
and secure Israel as a means
of assuring against U. S. mili-
tary participation in the Mid-
dle East "after we just got
out of that entanglement in
Vietnam."
Bumpers took that stand in
a debate with Fulbright on
ABC's "Issues and Answers"
on May 26, the only face-to-
face meeting between the
two. Bumpers said he felt it
would be "much better" to
send arms to Israel than it
would be "to send them
men."
Asked by correspondent
Frank Reynolds if there was
any issue of sending Ameri-

can troops to Israel, Bump-
ers said "No" but added that
Israel's withdrawal from all
occupied areas, with a United
Nations guarantee, "which
would really be a United
States guarantee of sorts,"
would have left Israel de-
fenseless and would have
"required" the U. S. to go to
Israel's defense with men
and arms "sometime" in the
future.
Fulbright's defeat almost
certainly means a new chair-
man for the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee in the
new Congress convening in

January. On the likely as-
sumption that the Democrats
will continue to control the
Senate, either Sen. John
Sparkman of Alabama or Sen.
Frank Church of Idaho will
replace Fulbright as chair-
man, a post he has held for
more than 15 years.
Sparkman, now chairman
of the Senate Banking and
Curency Committee, was be-
lieved ready to quit that post
to head the Foreign Relations
Committee, a position which
is his for the asking on the
basis of seniority.
Sparkman has been consist-
ently sympathetic to Israel
since its rebirth in 1949.
. As a member of the U. S.
delegation to the United Na-
tions, he evinced sympathy
for the young Jewish state
and two years later, he was
one. of 36 senators to co-spon-

sor aid to Israel. Church, a
recent visitor to Israel, has
been emphatically pro-Israel
as senator. Both Sparkman
and Ohurch voted the admin-
istration's emergency $2,200,-
000,000 aid program for Israel
after the Yom Kippur War,
and both sponsored the Jack-
son Amendment which links
trade concessions to Russia
with amelioration of its emi-
gration policies for Soviet
Jews.
In a notable turnabout, Ful-
bright became one of the 43
senatorial sponsors of a testi-
monial for Sen. Henry M.
Jackson here on May 14.
Since the function was spon-
sored by the American Trade
Union and Public Service
Councils for Histadrut, Ful-
bright's suport was seen as
hinting at softening of his
stand against Israel, organ-
ized labor and Sen. Jackson.
In September 1970, when
the first Jackson Amendment
calling for a U. S. credit of
$500,000,000 to Israel was be-
ing debated, Fulbright was
asked by the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency about his op-
position to such a credit. He
replied angrily that _the over-
whelming support here for
the amendment demonstrated
"the power of Zionism" in
the Congress. In May 1973,
he charged that the United
States would lose its • oil
sources in the Middle East
because of what he called
U. S. "subservience" to
Israel.

Norwegians Appeal
for 4 Jailed Jews

OLSO (JTA) — Israeli-
Norwegian friendship groups
in three Norwegian cities
have called on Prime Minis-
ter Trygve Brateli to pardon
four Jews jailed here in con-
nection with last summer's
counter-terror slaying at Lil-
lehammer in eastern Norway.
The four, serving jail terms
ranging from 2 1/2 to 5 1/2
years, should be released be-
cause they sought to defend
themselves against Arab ter-
rorists, a letter to the prime
minister said.

That this nation, under
God, shall have a new birth
of freedom; and that govern-
ment of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall
not perish from the earth.—
Abraham Lincoln.
