cused Raeber of having been
"bought" by Israel.
The weekly claimed that
his PR firm handles the ac-
counts of El Al and other Is-
raeli companies. Miriam
Shomrat, Charge d'Affaires
at the Israel Embassy in
Bern, declared the charges
were absolutely unfounded
and claimed they were
manufactured by the .Arab
lobby.
In addition to the army
officers, the project in Is-
rael is supported by sev-
eral prominent Jews in
Zurich.
The Defense Ministry,
which subsidizes
Schweitzer Soldat, and the
Foreign Ministry are both
opposed to the fund-raising
drive as contrary to Swiss
neutrality. But they cannot
stop the project because it is
in private hands.
The Geneva newspaper,
La Suisse, observed that ob-
viously the officers involved
in the campaign are anti-
Arab and disapprove of the
Foreign Ministry's ap-
proaches to the Arab coun-
tries, but they tend to forget
that they harm Swiss neut-
rality and that Switzerland
gets her oil from the Arabs.

personnel are due in Egypt
to participate.
Official reactions have
been low keyed. Deputy De-
fense Minister Mordechai
Zipori observed that "the
sending of American troops
to Egypt was expected
against the background of
the developing pattern of re-
lations between Egypt and
the U.S. It is a matter that
concerns two nations
friendly to us and we can do
nothing about it."
It was learned that the
subject was raised during
the U.S.-Israeli strategic
talks earlier this month.
But Israeli military cir-
cles are not concealing
their displeasure. One
top-ranking officer said
the news that the U.S. is
sending troops for joint
exercises with the Egyp-
tians is not happy news.
These circles accept the
idea that events in the
Persian Gulf have forced
the U.S. to demonstrate
its presence in the region
in response to Soviet
penetration through
their recently signed
friendship pact with
Syria.
They believe that while
the combined exercises of
Egyptian and American
military personnel may not
have an immediate effect on
the balance of power be-
tween Israel and its
neighbors, they could, in the
long range, unbalance the
present situation.
Had not a great man
praised you, I might have
objected to what you said.
