Department -deputy spokesman Alan Romberg said, "We don't have any in- formation that a buildup is underway" by the Israeli army or that Israel plans any "military action" in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon against the Syrians or against the SAM-5 surface- to-air Soviet-made missiles recently installed in Syria. Romberg said the ,Soviet charges may be aimed at "undermining politiCal ef- forts of all parties to achieve a fair and comprehensive settlement" in the Middle East. In Jerusalem, Premier Menahem Begin said that Israel "certainly has no in- tention" to attack Syria, nor does he believe Syria in- tends to attack Israel. Begin's press spokesman, Uri Porat, said Israel should "neither treat the -Soviet statement lightly nor be frightened by it." He said Is- raeli_ analysts were study- ing the Tass statement but were frankly puzzled by its =nature and timing. Israel Radio reported that the government sees the Soviet warning aimed at the U.S., although it' was ad- dressed to Israel.

The Tass state- ment alleged Israel- American collusion against Syria and warned that Syria was "not alone." Tass spoke of Israel's "barbarous aggression" against Lebanon, and claimed that Washington's "unconditional support" for Israeli aggression was a prelude to U.S.-Israeli domination of the entire Middle East. Begin met with report- ers briefly after confer- ring with Shimon Peres, chairman of the opposi- tion Labor Party. They are believed to have discussed Peres' recent meeting with President Nicolai Ceausescu of Romania. • The Tass statement said Israel's "criminal designs" against Syria must be foiled, but did not say Mos- cow would take any action if Israel did attack Syria. Gideon Rafael, a senior diplomat at that time who was sent to Moscow to try to ward off Soviet - provoca- tions, said that he was "very concerned" by the current escalation of Soviet Rhetoric. He said the Russians had proved by the com- plicity with Syrian and Egypt in the 1973 war that on occasion they would, not object. to an outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East if they thought it would serve their interests. Rafael pointed out that Yuri Andropov, a new and still untested Soviet leader, might be seeking a peripheral showdown with the U.S. in an area where Soviet arms employed by Syria were decisively de- feated by American-armed Israeli forces in Lebanon. But Rafael and other analysts do not predict Soviet-provoked hostilities between Israel and Syria this spring, although they do not rule out the possibil- ity. They contend that Mos- cow's basic aim is to restore its position of power and influence in Middle East politics to match the influ- ence -a the United States. The stepped-up Soviet rhetoric is consonant with that aim, Israeli analysts say. They noted several recent develop- ments in the region point- , Propaganda Effect Told TEL AVIV (ZINS) — PLO propagandists in Scan- dinavia have succeeded in reducing the number of Norwegians who volunteer to work on Israeli kibutzim according to Kaarze Kris- tiansen of the Norwegian Democratic Party. Kristiansen told the Norway-Israel Friendship Association • that many Norwegians now prefer to work in refugee camps under PLO auspices, but that Norwegian public opin- ion has reverted to its tradi- tionally friendly 'attitude toward Israel. . - ing to increased Soviet activism. These are an expanded Russian military presence in Syria; Soviet wooing of Egypt; the recent Syrian Soviet joint statement de- nouncing President Reagan's Middle East peace initiative; and energetic Soviet efforts to influence the Palestine Liberation Organization away from participation in or enforce- ment of the American in- itiative. 553-7111 LaSalle MOM SE 114111 'E BUMPING & PAINTING All work guaranteed Free Estimates Relicible and Experienced since 1930 on all makes of cars 28829 Orchard Lake Rd., between 12 & 13 Mile Farmington Hills, ML 48018 Max Fleischer • • • • • • • • • • • • • II • •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ANNOUNCING • • • • . • ANNUAL CHILDREN'S • _PORTRAIT CONTEST • Now through April • • • • • • 10% OFF • • ALL EXTRA PRINTS • • Open Tues. thru Sat. 9:30-5:30 • • Thurs. to 9, Sat. to 5 • • • NCLE BUZZY'S • $ 1 595 8x10 PORTRAIT $7.50 - 1 additional child • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • • • • • Evergreen Plaza, 19919 W. . 12 Mile Road Southfield 557-4848 ID ID ID ID MD ID • • ID Il ID ID ID • • • • • ID ••II ID•ID ID • Congregation B'nai Moshe _ DR.
