BONN (JTA) — Israeli
Foreign Minister Yigal Al-
lon and his West German
counterpart Hans-Dietrick
Genscher, signed an agree-
ment last weekend aimed at
strengthening and expand-
ing economic relations be-
tween Israel and the Fed-
eral Republic.
The agreement includes
measures to promote and
safeguard West German
investments in Israel and
the exchange of information
and other measures that
would assist Israeli exports
to West Germany.
Allon headed Israel's de-
legation to the first meeting
of the Israel-West German
Jimmy Carter said last
week that "public state-
ments by leaders of our
country in the last few
months" cast doubt on
America's commitment to
Israel's right "to exist in
peace as a Jewish state" and
that commitment should be
unequivocally reasserted.
The former governor of
Georgia who is expected to
be nominated for President
by the Democratic Party
convention here next month,
made his remarks during a
question and answer period
following an address he de-
livered before the Foreign
Policy Association last
Thursday. He said he fa-
vored a "general" rather
than a "step-by-step" ap-
proach to a Middle East set-
tlement.
Carter did not refer to the
Middle East in his speech
nor did he specify what pub-
lic statements by American
leaders might have cast
doubt on the U.S. commit-
ment to Israel. But he made
it clear that in his own view
that a solution of the Middle
East conflict must be
reached by direct negotia-
tions between Israel and the
Arabs in the framework of
Security Council Resolution
242 and based on the Arabs'
recognition of "the perma-
nent existence of Israel" and
their adoption of a policy of
non-belligerence toward
that country. Carter also
said, "I think we should
strengthen our commitment
fense mechanisms or eco-
nomic aid is necessary to let

Carter stressed that
he would never send
American troops to Israel
and added "I've never met
an Israeli who adyocated
that."
"We, I think, can play a
role that's presently been
requested of President Ford
by Mr. Rabin (Premier Yit-
zhak Rabin of Israel) and
others of Israel, which I

`Atomic Warheads
Introduced in M.E.
First by Russians'
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Dr.
Shlomo Aaronson of the He-
brew University in an inter-
view with the Mapam
weekly Chotem said that it
was not Israel but rather
the Soviet Union that intro-
duced atomic weapons into
the Middle East for the first
time.
"That is an absolute fact
and not a speculation." Aar-
onson said. It occurred dur-
ing the Yom Kippur War in
1973 when a Russian vessel
arrived at the Egyptian port
of Alexandria with atomic
warheads that could be fit-
ted on ground-to-ground

Religion No Issue
Says ADL Leader
LOUISVILLE — "The
question of voter support for
Jimmy Carter must not be
influenced by his religious
beliefs," Benjamin R. Ep-
stein, national director of
the Anti-Defamation
League of Bnai Brith de-
clared.
In an address before tha
annual plenary session of
the National Jewish Com-
munity Relations Advisory
Council at Galt House, Ep-
stein said "a candidate's re-
ligious conviction is not a
valid, issue for Jews or any
other Americans, unless the
candidate is committed to
bigotry, racism or-anti-Sem-
itism."
Sephardim Challenge Planned
Law Change for Russian Olim
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
Labor Alignment MK ac-
cused the government last
week of favoring immi-
grants from the Soviet
Union over Israelis of Orien-
tal origin. Haviv Shimoni, a
longtime champion of the
rights of the Sephardic com-
munity, said he would vote
against the coalition if it
adopts a bill which would al-
low allegedly under-quali-
fied dental practitioners
from the USSR to practice
dentistry in Israel.
Shimoni charged that the
bill smells of "racism." He
said that licensing immi-
grant dentists by adminis-
trative means rather than
requiring them to complete
a professional course of
Carter warned against
outside intervention in the
Middle East. "I would let it
be clear to the Soviet Union
and others that neither we
nor they nor anyone else
should prospectively plan an
involvement in any Middle
Eastern confrontation that
includes combat."
Carter said he would also
favor, "whenever Israel and
the other countries are
ready, the pursuit of a gen-
eral approach to the Middle
study could lead to the
"Levantinization of the den-
tal profession in Israel."
Shimoni said that "For
years we have been told
how important it was to
maintain the country's
high academic level, a
campaign that actually
prevented the successful
absorption of Asian and
African immigrants into
society.
Now," he said, "when the
interests of Russian immi-
grants are at stake, every-
body is ready to look aside
and forget."

Israeli Navy Boat
Saves Greek Crew
TEL AVIV (JTA) — An
Israeli Navy missile boat
rescured the eight-man
crew of the 700 ton Greek
vessel Nikolaus which sank
about 180 km. off Tel Aviv
last week when she devel-
oped a leak after an engine
breakdown. The missile
boat was dispatched from
Haifa after an SOS was re-
ceived from the stricken
craft. The crew consisting of
five Greeks, two Egyptians
and a Sudanese, was picked
up from their lifeboat and
taken to Haifa where the
Greek Consul made ar-
rangements for their return
to Greece.
