Phone 353-1300 JERUSALEM (JTA) — A top Carter Administration official assured Israel last week that the U.S. will not use aid as a form of political pressure. James McIntyre Jr., director of the Office of Management and Budget, made that pledge after a meeting with Premier Menahem Begin at which the issue of Israeli settle- ments in the occupied Arab territories was raised. The American official is understood to have reiter- ated the U.S. position that the settlements are an obs- tacle to peace. McIntyre, accompanied by a delegation of four Con- gressmen, members of the House Budget Committee, were in Israel for a detailed study of its aid needs. He told reporters that "the U.S. does not intend to use its aid as a way to pressure things that should be handled through diplomatic means." There was speculation here that punitive U.S. aid cuts may have been hinted in the apparently stiff letter Begin 'received from Secre- tary of State Cyrus Vance in connection with the Cabinet's decision favoring the establishment of a Jewish presence in Hebron. At his meeting with the Ameiican delegation, Begin reportedly de- fended his settlement pol- icy on security grounds. Rep. Robert Giaimo (D- Conn.), chairman of the House Budget Committee, told reporters afterwards that the Hebron affair and settlements in general were regarded as prejudicial to peace. But he affirmed McIntyre's assurance that this would not affect U.S. aid to Israel. However, Giaimo made it clear that Israel's requests for increased aid stood little • • ••• • • We Take The Worry Out Of 41 40 40 40 40 40 40 4o 40 40 40 40 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 4F 40 40 DRAPERY CLEANING Drapery cleaning when properly done is an art, we at CUSTOM DRAPERY CLEANERS practice most diligently, in our never ending quest to improve our service to you by seeking better systems and methods.

"This is a particularly tough year for the U.S. meeting its budgetary needs and a good portion of that aid budget involves the regular amount of money to Israel," the Congressman said. The Carter Administra- tion has allocated $1.985 billion in economic and military aid for Israel in the next fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. Israel has asked for $3.45 billion. 1 1 • Israel Silent on Arms to Egypt JERUSALEM (JTA) — Top Israeli officials have re- frained from public com- ments on the high level of U.S. military aid for Egypt. But there is concern here, particularly over the sophisticated weaponry, in- cluding F-15 and F-16 air- craft, that the Carter Ad- ministration plans to pro- vide to Egypt. Assistant Secretary of Defense David McGiffort was due in Israel this week after a visit to Cairo. Yosef Maayan, director general of the Defense Ministry and Brig. Gen. Zvi Shor, the ministry's financial ad- viser, are expected to go to Washington next week to discuss Isaraeli military needs. The subject of American military supplies to Egypt is believed likely to come up in the course of these meetings. Defense Minister Ezer Weizman reportedly in- tends to ignore the issue, arguing that what mat- ters is the strength of the Israeli Air Force, not the Egyptian. That view is supported by govern. ment officials who be- lieve that Israel cannot launch an all out cam- paign against selling warplanes to Egypt at a time when the two coun- tries are about to ex- change ambassadors. However, one source at the Foreign Ministry was quoted as saying, "This is a scandal. Never before has Israel kept quiet over such a large scale airplane deal with Egypt. This silence will cause us a lot of dam- age." - * • 1 Brown Sees Bilateral Treaties, More Military Aid for Mideast WASHINGTON (JTA) — Defense Secretary Harold Brown advocated U.S. bilateral treaties with Mid- dle Eastern Countries while supporting the long-held Carter Administration in- sistence on a "comprehen- sive settlement" between Israel and the Arab states. Appearing Tuesday be- fore the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee to justify the Administration's mili- tary assistance programs, Brown testified that the U.S. should proceed with bilateral agreements in treating the Southwest Asian situation, including the Soviet invasion of Af- ghanistan and the problems in Iran. He observed, in this con- nection, that the process of reaching agreements is complicated by the Arab- Israeli conflict but he noted in the course of his three- hours of testimony that the political situation is the basis for the U.S. seeking the use of facilities and not bases in the Middle East area and that the U.S. seeks to keep a "low profile" on its military presence. Asked later by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency whether his views con- flicted on the kinds of agreements, Brown replied that the "comprehensive settlement" is "a separate issue" and deals with the "peace problem" between Israel and the Arab states." "It is in no way to contain Soviet expansion," Brown said. In his prepared statement to the committee, Brown justified U.S. support for Is- rael, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. "Israel is heav- ily dependent on United States arms," Brown said. "It has not been able to turn to any other major arms supplier since the oil em- bargo in 1973. Its equip- ment needs far exceed its resources and the U.S. has provided foreign military sales financing each year since the 1973 war.

Maruauna Used for Contraception TEL AVIV — Certain de- rivatives of marijuana delay ovulation in labora- tory animals, according to Dr. Daniel Ayalon of Ichilov Hospital here. The delaying of ovulation could give the drug a potential use as a birth control method. Dr. Ayalon said that by injecting chemicals found in the canabis plant he de- layed ovulation in rats for 24 hours and in monkeys for 60 days. Dr. Ayalon called his findings preliminary and noted that no research has been done on humans.
