Edward Sanders, de- puty national campaign director for Democratic Presidential candidate Jimmy Carter, said in Chicago that it was "a de- ception for the Ford Ad- ministration to claim cre- dit now for releasing military equipment that it had denied Israel for many months." "It is gratifying that the delay in sending Is- rael military hardware long withheld will appa- rently now be ended. But one cannot help wonder why the President has suddenly decided to re-• lease equipment hereto- fore denied to Israel, three weeks before the elections. I cannot believe this is only ,a coinci- dence," Sanders said. In Jerusalem, Premier Yitzhak Rabin informed the Cabinet that the Un- ited States has responded favorably to recent re- qUests by Israel for cer- tain "ultra - modern weapons systems and technology." Rabin told the Cabinet at its weekly session that all arms promised Israel by the U.S. were deli- vered and are being deli- vered on schedule. In a related develop- ment, Allon told the Un- ited Nations General As- sembly_ that his country is prepared "now, even be- fore peace is made," to negotiate with the Arabs for a balanced limitation of the inflow of arms into the Middle East "in such a manner that the burden will be lightened for all without affecting ad- versely the security and defensive capacity of any." But, Allon added, as long as the Arabs continue to arm themselves with highly sophisticated mod- ern weapons, "Israel is compelled to keep up and will keep up." In a Major 40-minute policy address, Allon dealt with the issues of settling the Arab-Israeli conflict; the Lebanese crisis; terrorism; the UN system; racism; Soviet and Syrian Jewry; and other important issues. Israel, Allon declared, is ready to participate in a reconvened Geneva peace conference. He em- phasized, however, that it would do so only in accor- dance with the "original composition" of the Geneva conference "at any mutually acceptable time." This was a refer- ence to the parties invited to Geneva by the UN in December 1973. Meanwhile, in a study carried out by an Ameri- can agency concerned with questions of war- readiness and military capability, it is reported that 47.5 persons out of every 1,000 Israelis served in the army. The comparative fi- gures for Syria are 18.5 per 1000 and for Egypt 11.5 per 1000. The United Arab Emirates show 78.3 per 1,000 serving in the army. Care of Books Take particular care of your books.
