Administration's proposed
sale of AWACS radar
planes, Sidewinder missiles
and other sophisticated
equipment to Saudi Arabia,
nationally syndicated col-
umnist Art Buchwald de-
voted a sketch to King
Naban of New Gurdy on a
state visit to the U.S.:
"I was looking forward to
coming to Washington and
meeting the man who
singlehandedly won the
AWACS battle for Saudi
Arabia."
"It was really nothing,
your highness. The Saudis
are our friends, and if any-
one deserved AWACS, they
did."
"How much do they cost?"
"They're not for sale,
your highness. We just
made a special exception
in the case of the Saudis,
because they've kept the
price of oil down in
OPEC."
"Then how come they
raised it.$2 a barrel, and cut
back production the day
after you persuaded the Se-
nate to give them the
AWACS?"
"I'm sorry. I have to come
to attention. They're play-

Banner.' "
"That's no excuse. We're
your friends too. But if we
don't get AWACS, my
people will think we're
being treated as a third-rate
power."
"The AWACS is over-
rated, your highness."
"Then how come you
made such a big deal of it in
Congress?"
"It was a question of pride
with the Saudis. Had we re-
fused to sell them, they
would have lost face in the
Arab world."
"And you don't believe it's
a question of face with my
government if you refuse to
sell them to me?"
"Your highness, if we
sell AWACS to every
Country, the Saudis will
decide they're not worth
much, and then we'll
have to give them some-
thing else that nobody in
the Middle East has."
"You always liked the
king of Saudi Arabia more
than you liked me."
"That isn't true, your
highness. Didn't we give
you 50 F4 fighter planes on
your last visit?"
"Every banana republic
in South America has F4
fighter planes."
"Why don't we talk about
it at the state dinner we're
giving for you tonight."
"I'd rather eat in my
room if you're not going

JERUSALEM
Shrimp-farming has sud-
denly become big business
in various parts of the
world, and Israel, with its
long experience in
freshwater-fish breeding,
has become actively in-
volved.
agronomists
Israeli
began more than six years
ago by importing a dozen
male and female Southeast
Asian shrimp from Thai-
land and by teaching them
to adapt to a more temper-
ate climate.
Today, tons of shrimp are
being harvested from com-
mercial kibutz ponds and
being exported to Europe.
The Hebrew University of
Jerusalem has established a
private firm called
Aquaculture Production
Technology for the growth
of the local shrimp industry,
and its backers include
Britain's Marks and
Spencer stores and U.S. in-
vestors.
to give me AWACS."
"But Nancy has invited
110 people and she had to
borrow china from the Hil-
ton Hotel. Look, I wasn't
supposed to mention it until
tomorrow when we met
with Al Haig, but how
would you like a Stealth
bomber for your Air Force?"
"Can it do more things
than an AWACS?"
"It makes an AWACS
look like a Mediterranean
Fruit Fly."
"If it's so good how come
you didn't give it to the
Saudis?"
"Because they didn't ask
for it."

Eden's Widow
Friend of Israel
LONDON (ZINS) —
Former British Prime
Minister Anthony Eden was
never known for his friend-
ship for Jews or Israel.
During the six years since
his death, however, his
widow, a niece of Winston
Churchill, has become very
active on behalf of Israel.
Mrs. Eden makes regular
visits to Israel, is involved
in activities on behalf of
Jerusalem, and is vice
president of a group within
the Conservative Party
which serves as a friendship
league with Israel.
