THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Among Arabs, It's Carter Christians Give Scholarship . WASHINGTON — The Arab world has taken "an amazing interest" in the Presidential campaign, according to the United States Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, John West. After a week-long trip to several nations around the Persian Gulf last month, Mr. West, a Carter appointee, sent a gloomy confidential cable to Secretary of State Edmund S. Muskie. The cable, written before the outbreak of fighting between Iran and Iraq, said, "The United States policy in the Mideast has created a sense of disillusionment and despair throughout the Gulf area." "The role of the United States as a leader as well as our credibility . is being seriously questioned even by those leaders who heretofore have been our strongest allies and supporters," the cable went on. "There is general agree ment that the Camp David accords have failed and new life cannot be breathed into the process without a major move by the U.S. to break- the intransigence of (Israeli Prime Minister Menahem) Begin and his government." Discussing Arab views of the Presidential race, Am- bassador West reported that "the political rhetoric" of the three major candidates "has added to the sense of frustra- tion about present U.S. policy and future intentions." "There is general support for President Carter," around the Persian Gulf, Mr. West said, based "primarily upon the premise that no American President in his first term can ever take the actions necessary toward Israel which may result in an acceptable Mideast peace." At the same time, Mr. West says that he and other American ambassadors have had trouble explaining "the contradic- tion" between Administration overtures to the Arabs and the Democratic platform, which is strongly pro-Israel. "Mr. Anderson's statements," the cable continues, "during and after his trip to Israel (in August), were, in the Arab view, completely one-sided and associated him with pro-Israel policies designed to capture some Jewish support in the Presidential race." "Likewise, Governor Reagan's statements," Mr. West said, "paint him in the Arab view as being wholly con- trolled by Israel and its supporiers in the U.S. The hope of Carter's re-election and some measurable action being taken soon thereafter varies, but is the only hope the Arab states have," Ambassador West concluded. JERUSALEM (JTA) — Some 200 Christians from Switzerland, Austria, Ger- many and Holland, belong- ing to the "Beth Shalom Society for Bible Study in Israel," have inaugurated a scholarship endowment „fund for needy students at the Hebrew University. The driving force behind the project is a veteran Christian Zionist, Dr. Wim Malgo of Zurich, president of the society and director- general of its parent organ- ization, "Midnight Call." He and other society members were present at a Hebrew University ceremony last week. Founded by Malgo in 1969, Beth Shalom is a non-profit Christian organ- ization devoted to social and educational work in Israel, and especially to Arab- Jewish understanding. "We feel an integral part of Israel. Your fiat is ours," Malgo declared at last week's ceremony. "Let us be the voice of the silent major- ity all over the world which has confidence in the future of Israel and is certain that Israel shall overcome."
