LENOX 356-0652 STOUFFER'S Restaurant (Across From Northland Inn) Strong Israel Vital, Senate Told WASHINGTON (JTA) — An economically strong and militarily secure Israel, with recognized and defen- sible borders, provides the best hope for Middle East peace and stability, Rabbi Israel Miller, chairman of the Conference of Presi- dents of Major American Jewish Organizations, told a Senate subcommittee last week. Speaking before the For- eign Relations subcommit- tee on near Eastern and South Asian affairs, Rabbi Miller said that the "pre- vention of Soviet domina- tion over the Middle East is NEW -CADILLAC?

He added that "an Israel stripped of geographic as- sets vital for its defense, an Israel deprived of the means of defending itself, and Is- rael economically weak- ened, would entail great risks for the United States."

Meeting recently at an all-day conference, 100 lead- ers of the Cleveland Jewish community aired their views on the problems fac- ing the aliya movement and how these problems could be overcome through com- munity support and involve- ment. Participants represented a broad cross section of the Cleveland Jewish commu- nity including rabbis, Fed- eration executives, business- men, students, teachers and other communal leaders. A conceptual outgrowth of the National Aliya Plan- ning Conference held last March, Cleveland is the third regional unit to be es- tablished. Councils were formed in Detroit and Miami last month.

Golda Is Suing AJCommittee (Continued from Page 1) In her suit, Mrs. Meir noted that she protested to Commentary in February that there was "not even one grain of truth in this story." In Jerusalem, a spokesman for Mrs. Meir said that "Mrs. Meir wants to stress she has no intention of making money for herself out of this suit." The spokesman said Mrs. Meir would turn over any money she received to a fund for the settlement of Soviet Jews in Israel. Named as defendants in the suit are Navrozov, the American Jewish Commit- tee, and Norman Podhoretz, editor of Commentary. Pod- horetz is on vacation and could not be reached for comment.

"What would hap- pen in 10 years time when a student will stumble over this horrible charge and will find no denial?" Mrs. Meir asked. "In any case, the whole story is idiotic," Mrs. Meir declared. She noted that the time referred to was 1948, "not now when Russian Jews openly speak of their desire to go to Israel. But then, did we have direct contact with Jews? Did the police ena- ble Jews to approach us? Didn't we know that we were listened to? We scarcely spoke there. We always jotted notes. And here comes this writer and writes of handing over a list to Stalin." Mrs. Meir asserted she never met Stalin personally although she was once near him during a celebration marking the Russian revolu- tion when the diplomats' area was near Stalin's plat- form.

She said she only agreed to file the libel suit when Com- mentary refused to apolog- ize for Navrozov's allega- tion. She said she was also worried that the article would be accepted later as Asked about the so-called Israeli-Russian honeymoon during her period as Israel's Ambassador to Moscow, Mrs. Meir said: "All I can re- call is that the Jewish wife of Foreign Minister Molotov told me in juicy Lithuanian Yiddish that she prayed for Israel and if it will be good for Israel it will be good for all Jews in the world. "That was that. No more meetings with her," Mrs. Meir said that only later did she learn that Mrs. Molotov was exiled from Moscow.

The bill must now be ap- proved by Congress and sent to President Ford for his signature. The House-Senate confer- ence committee had been appointed to work out the differences between the two bodies in the bill, including the arms sale to Israel. Senate had approved an ers tension of arms sales to Is- rael while the House had not. The Senate approval was over the objections of Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who said that the Israeli sale was outside the jurisd- iction of his committee. The conference commit- tee report today listed the House members as regis- tering "serious reserva- tions" about the extension to Israel because they be- lieved the proposal should not have been in the weap- ons bill and should be con- sidered by the committees dealing with foreign af- fairs. But Senate members argued that failure to ap- prove the extension "might be construed as unwilling- ness of the Congress to maintain the status quo in the Middle East."

Israeli-Made Hats Found in Beirut JERUSALEM — It was reported here that the Bei- rut newspaper Al-Yom wrote that Israeli-made hats with a Tel Aviv manu- facturer's label have been found in Beirut shops and markets. The newspaper said "one of our readers brought one of the hats to our offices and laid it into our arms, which are already burdened by carrying machineguns and cannons so that some of us (Arabs) can kill each other, while the enemy swamps our markets with such at- tire . . ."
