to TAI Aviv.
Israel is a long way off so it makes
sense to make a stop on your way to
Tel Aviv. And there's no better place
to stop than in the heart of Europe—
Frankfurt, Germany. You can rest,
relax, shop, do a little business or
rent a car and do some sightseeing
in Europe's most beautiful scenery:
the Rhine Valley, the Black Forest,
the majestic Alps.

war material valued at
$1.022 billion. The chief
supplier, according to the
study, was France.
Noting the disparity
between official and unof-
ficial statistics on arms
sales to South Africa, the
American Jewish Con-
gress study cited data
published by the U.S.
Arms Control and Disar-
mament Agency report-
ing that South Africa im-
ported $358 million worth
of weapons — of which
$224 million worth was
sold by Prance — in
1965-74.
For the same 10-year
period, however, the
Stockholm International
Peace Research Institute
listed the value of
weapons and other war
material obtained by
South Africa at $706 mill-
ion.
The latest French arms
sale to South Africa, re-
ported on Oct. 1, was the
sale of two new Agosta
20-torpedo submarines to
South Africa for an esti-
mated $65 million.
The American Jewish
Congress study quoted an
analysis by the Interna-
tional Institute for
Strategic Studies of Lon-
don that said South Afri-
ca's armed forces were
equipped with British
tanks, French and British
armored cars, French and
British missiles, French
submarines, British
helicopters, British patrol
boats, British bombers,
French jet fighters, Italian
and French air transports,
French helicopters and
American and Italian
training planes.

NEW YORK (JTA) --
The State Department
will now have to decide
whether to extradite an
Indian Jew to face crimi-
nal charges in India or
allow him to remain in the
United States.
U.S. District Court
Judge Gerard L. Goetel
allowed Elijah Ephraim
Jhirad to remain free on
$50,000 bail pending the
Department's decision
after certifying and turn-
ing over Jhirad's file to
the Department.
Jhirad, a Judge Advo-
cate General of the In-
dian Navy for 18 years
and a president of the
Federation of Jewish
Communities in India,
has been the target of ex-
tradition procedures by
the Indian government
for four years on charges
he misappropriated $1600
from India's Naval Prize
Fund.
The 63-year-old Jhirad
asserts that the Indian
charges are politically
motivated against him
because of his outspoken
defense of Zionism and
Israel and because of his
pro-Western, anti-Com-
munist views.
