AMITAY WASHINGTON — While there is every reason to be- lieve Moshe Arens will do a great job as Israeli Defense Minister, his appointment leaves his admirers in Washington with a great sense of loss. To put it sim- ply, Arens has been a su- perb ambassador. The hallmark of his one year in Washington has been his complete honesty — with Administration offi- cials, the media, the Ameri- can Jewish community and in private conversations. Moshe Arens always played it straight with friend and foe alike. In doing so, he provided Israel with credi- ble representation in the United States at .a particu- larly critical time in U.S.- Israel relations. Always eager to absorb information about the polit- ical process in Washington, Arens has had • the advan- tage of understanding America and its cultural differences. It is not enough to speak English well — as many foreign representa- tives can. It is crucial to understand nuances of meaning, the idiom, and DINNER THEATRE AT HYATT REGENCY 0 DEARBORN JIMMY LAUNCE PROductions piesents JIMMY LAUNCE starring in DEATHTRAP A THRILLER BY IRA LEVIN Group Rates and Performances Available Reservations: 593-1234 Fri. & Sat. 8:30 P.M.

Arens, who came to the U.S. as a child, has these pre- requisites along with his personal integrity and genuine modesty. It would have ap- peared unlikely that in judging his performance vis-a-vis his predecessors that an aeronautical engineer with no political ambitions would rate so well. But friends of Israel should be thankful that Moshe Arens measured up. His successor will have a very class act to follow and we wish him well. Sen. John Glenn (D- Ohio), who is actively seek- ing the Democratic nomina- tion for the Presidency, spoke in Cleveland to the annual meeting of the Na- tional JeWish Community Relations Council. According to an account carried by the Washington Post, "Glenn tried to lay to rest suggestions that 'my commitment to Israel is somehow suspect,' or that he is no friend of Israel." Careful analysis of the speech, aside from the re- ported cool reaction of the audience to Glenn's re- marks, would indicate that there are still valid reasons for concern. Glenn sought to explain his previous support for the sale of F-15s to Saudi Arabia, his criticism of the Israel strike on the Iraqi nuclear reactor and his call for inclusion of the PLO in negotiations. But he neg- lected to mention his strong and consistent criticism of the use of U.S.-supplied weapons by Israel in Leba- non. In defending the F-15 sale, Glenn contended the' Saudis, would have purchased Mirage 2000 aircraft - "with no strings". The only known U.S. "string" is the non- stationing of the aircraft at Tabuk — near .the Is- rael border. But continu- , ous Isriel aerial surveil- lance of this base would have had the same effect. As for the Mirage 2000, it is inferior in many ways to the F-15, more difficult to maintain, and would not have been as compat- ible with the U.S. systems used by the Saudis. - Glenn's criticism of the destruction of the Iraqi reactor is even more curious coming from a former fighter pilot. "I did not be- lieve that military force was the only way to. solve the problem," said Glenn . . . "Unless we're prepared to defend that kind of action by everyone, I don't think we can afford to sanction it by anyone." Unless Glenn is ruling out the use of military force totally, this failure to dis- tinguish between a just reaction to a serious threat and an unprovoked attack doesn't hold water. Finally, Glenn's conclu- sion that the Reagan plan for the Middle East is based "on the Camp David proc- ess" missed the poitit that the plan actually prejudges this process. Otherwise, Glenn made a number of positive points and we should not doubt the sincer- ity of his support for "a strong, secure and indepen- dent Israel." However, in sum, Glenn failed to allay the fears he acknowledged. - ZIGGY BELA TRIO FRI., SAT. & SUN.
