Saudis Fly U.S.
Jets to Syria
WASHINGTON — Saudi
,Arabia flew a squadron • of
.F5 jets, bought from the
United States, into Syria
recently as a part of a mili-
tary exercise.
The jets remained in
Saudi hands and there
was no violation of the
1951 agreement restricting
American_ military equip-
ment to defensive purposes,
according to the State De-
partment. ,
Meanwhile, Russia has
agreed to send a squadron of
supersonic MIG25 war-
planes to Syria where they
apparently will be manned
by Russian pilots.
Intelligence analysts said
the squadron would be a
token Russian presence
demonstrating Moscow's
backing for Syria against Is-

UJA Proclaims
Jewish Unity Week
NEW YORK (JTA) — In
light of recent events at the
United Nations, the United
Jewish Appeal has desig-
nated the week of Dec. 8 as
a period for American Je-
wry to demonstrate its un-
ity and strength on behalf of
the world Jewish commu-
nity, Frank R. Lautenberg,
UJA general chairman, an-
nounced.
The week-long affirma-
tion of Jewish solidarity and
determination will culmi-
nate with the 1976 UJA Na-
tional Conference Dec.
10-13, at the New York Hil-
ton. The theme of the Con-
ference is "Proclaim Lib-
erty," the verse from
Leviticus which is inscribed
on the Liberty Bell.
Guest speakers to appear
at the UJA Conference in-
cludes Israeli Defense Min-
ister Shimon Peres; Simha
Dinitz, Israeli Ambassador
to the UN; and Leon Dulzin,
acting chairman and trea-
surer of the Jewish Agency.

This is a carry-over
from the biblical descrip-
tion in the Book of Exodus
which required that a
"parokhet" (curtain) be
hung to separate the Holy
of Holies from the rest of
the Holy section in the
ancient temple.
The idea was that the con-
cept of holiness calls for sep-
aration and withdrawal as a
high form of man's disci-
pline. Whatever is holy
stands off in a distance to be
admired and appreciated.
