WASHINGTON (JTA) —
"Lebanon's Maronite Chris-
t tian forces, displaying new

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Don-
ations to the Israel Defense
Force in the wake of the res-
cue of the hostages in
Uganda continue to pour in.
Ofer Brothers Ltd., a
Haifa shipping firm, has an-
nounced it is buying the
navy a $1 million boat and
donating $150,000 in cash
and one day's salary of all
its employes.
Zvi Belski, one of the
freed hostages, has donated

Meanwhile, a new over-
pass in the center of Tel
Aviv has been named the
"Eagles Bridge" in honor of
the Israeli forces which took
part in the rescue in
Uganda. The IL 10 million
overpass is aimed at improv-
ing the traffic flow from Tel
Aviv to Ramat Gan and Pe-
tah Tikva.

"evidence in the field, calcu-
lated indiscretions by Chris-
tian politicians, the street
mood on the Christian side
and unattributable state-
ments by Western diplo-
mats in Arab capitals all
tend to confirm" that Israel
is supplying arms to Leba-
non's Christians.
According to the Post ac-
count, the Israeli govern-
ment decided to assist the
Christians in Lebanon this
spring and "the result began
to show in June." Israel, ac-
cording to the report,
shipped its arms to the main
Christian port of Journieh.
"Commercial boats in the
Mediterranean report dense
traffic at night off the
Christian-controlled coast.
The information in the re-
gion's ports is that the
traffic is coming from Israel
to Journieh."

Senators Urged to Reaffirm
Support for Russian Jewry
NEW YORK — The Na-

Jewry (NCSJ), has obtained
an appeal sent out by Soviet
Jews who met with a U.S.
Senate delegation in Mos-
cow one year ago, addressed
to the delegates to the Dem-
ocratic National Conven-
tion.
The appeal sent on the
first anniversary of the Jew-
ish activists meeting with
the bipartisan group of Sen-
ators, asked those who will
be elected and who will
guide the nation to
"reaffirm their support of
the Soviet Jewish struggle
to live as Jews and to secure
their right to emigrate."
Senators participating in
the historic meeting one
year ago included the co-
