Israel Cabinet , French May Lift Arms Embargo Imposed on Mideast Countries By EDWIN EYTAN arms sales to any of the Mirages as well as for the truck manufacturing plant OKs Budget Cut PARIS (JTA) — The countries "directly involved manufacture of an Israeli- and a pharmaceutics indus- JERUSALEM (JTA)—The cabinet approved slashes of close to IL 1,000,000,000 in the budgets of ministries and other government depart- ments. The sum breaks down into cuts of IL 340,000,000 in regular budgets and over IL 60,0000,000 in the "develop- ment budgets" of most gov- ernment departments. Most of the money saved would go towards financing additional defense expendi- tures, treasury senior official Arnon Gafni told newsmen. These expenses include con- struction of fortifications on the new front lines, shelters and bunkers in border settle- ments - and security fences in the north. The largest cut is in the budget (regular budget) of the education ministry — IL 88,000,000 from secondary and higher education together. The plan to introduce free 10th grade schooling has been shelved for the time being and government-paid stipends to school children in secondary schools and uni- versities will be awarded less freely. IL 100,000,000 has been pared off the communications ministry development budget — meaning a longer wait for people who have ordered tele- phones. The one ministry's budget cut — proposed by the treas- ury at nearly IL 3,000,000 — which has not yet been ap- proved is Aharon Yariv's in- formation ministry. Yariv is still discussing with Premier Yitzhak Rabin the validity of this ministry's continued existence. Meanwhile, Yariv is strenuously opposing any cut in his total IL 24,000,000 budget. SHARE IN FREEDOM * u.5. SLvinds Bonds _ * Freedom Shares French government is con- sidering lifting the arms em- bargo imposed by Gen. Charles de Gaulle in 1967 and reaffirMed by President Georges Pompidou in Janu- ary 1969. French sources say that a committee of officials belong- ing to several ministries has been entrusted with a thor- ough study of the political economic and strategic im- plications of such a move. This study has been decid- ed upon, these sources say, at a cabinet meeting which examined the new situation created by Egyptian Presi- dent Anwar Sadat's open ad- mission that Libyan Mirages are stationed in Egypt and have participated in the fighting of the Yom Kippur War in violation of the Franco-Libyan agreement. There was no official con- firmation to these reports be- sides a statement by govern- ment spokesman Andre Rossi that "the government has de- cided to re-examine the em- bargo policy." The embargo was first im- posed in "selective" form on June 3, 1967. Historians gen- erally believe that de Gaulle thought at the time that it would deter Israel from opening hostilities. In Janu- ary 1969, after the Israeli raid on Beirut Airport, Pres- ident Pompidou made it "total" barring all French Satmar Community Endorses Samuels NEW YORK (JTA)—How- ard Samuels announced his endorsement by the Satmar hasidic community, the lar- gest hasidic community in the world. In a news conference held at his headquarters, Samuels, who is seeking the Democra- tic nomination for New York governor, was joined by Rab- bi Leopold Lefkowitz, presi- dent of the Satmar commun- ity, and a delegation of com- munity leaders. in the fighting." According to French inter- pretation the embargo ap- plied to Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Syria. Israel was the only country in the Mid- dle East at the time to rely on French hardware. Since its early days, the embargo has been regularly broken or otherwise turned by most countries involved. Israel has regularly charged that French arms sold to Libya and Iraq have ended up on Israel's borders. The Arabs, on the other hand, charged that Israel continued to receive throughout the em- bargo spare parts for her Communal Workers' LZA 'Think Thanks NEW YORK — More than 50 leading social workers and Jewish communal work- ers from throughout the United States will attend an all-day "Think Tank" semi- nar on "The Crisis in Jewish Life—Aftermath of the Yom Kippur War," to be held here on Monday, it was an- nounced by Dr. Judah J.
