The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, October 1, 1980-Page 5 . *U.S. rushes . radar planes to- Saudi Arabia WASHINGTON (AP)-The United States is rushing four special early warning radar planes to Saudi Arabia to help strengthen the oil-rich country's air defenses against a possible spread of the war bet- ween Iraq and Iran, the Pentagon announced yester- day. In announcing the shipment of the highly sophisticated planes, U.S. officials said the deployment is temporary and stressed that the move does not mean Washington is taking sides in the Iran- Iraq war. "THE UNITED STATES government unequivocally reaffirms its position of neutrality," said Pentagon spokesman Thomas Ross. "This deployment is purely for defensive purposes. It is designed to track aircraft for the purpose of providing additional warning for Saudi Arabian defenses," Ross said. Saudi Arabia has indicated its support for Iraq in the fighting with Iran. However, U.S. defense of- ficials said they have no reason to believe the Saudis will be relaying to Iraq any military data provided by the American radar planes, known as AWACS. ROSS TOLD A Pentagon news breifing the decision to deploy the aircraft was made "in response to a request from the government of Saudi Arabia." Defense officials said one of the big AWACS planes already had taken off from Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma and that the remaining three would be leaving for Saudi Arabia within hours. They said the planes were to fly directly to Saudi Arabia with in-flight refueling, covering the distance in 17 to 18 hours. THE DEPLOYMENT will involve a total of about 300 military personnel, defense officials said. They added that American cargo planes would be making flights to deliver supplies to Saudi ground facilities being used by the AWACS aircraft. The AWACS planes, which are modified Boeing 707 jets, carry a flight crew of four plus up to two dozen Air Force technical personnel to monitor radar and other electronic gear. Defense officials said the AWACS planes would be flying their early warning patrols wholly within Saudi airspace. They declined to identify where in Saudi Arabia the planes will be based. U.S. OFFICIALS said the planes, with a "look down" radar range of 250 nautical miles, will be par- ticularly helpful in bolstering Saudi Arabia's defen- ses against any possible attack by low flying aircraft. The range of the sophisticated planes gives them the capability to monitor the vital Strait of Hormliz, through which much of the oil exported from the Middle East to Western countries passes. Meanwhile, Congress was told that the war should not send U.S. fuel prices soaring unless the conflict spreads beyond Iran and Iraq. Plentiful worldwide crude oil supplies-estimated by an Exxon official at 500 million barrels abqve normal-should cushion the loss of the 3 million barrels per day normally exported by Iran and Iraq, a House Government Operations subcommittee was told. I Congress ushes fo r e n A legislation, WASHINGTON (AP)-Congress pressed to finish work by midnight yesterday on an emergency-spen- ding bill needed to avert a shutdown of nearly the entire federal gover- nment, except activities to protect "life and property." By late yesterday afternoon, congressional negotiators had resolved all but one difference in the House and Senate versions of the bill, but the two sides refused to budge on that remaining issue-public funding for abortion. EVEN IF THE negotiators settle that final sticking point, the bill must still go back to the House and Senate for final approval and then to President Carter for his signature. The stopgap spending bill would finance the government between the midnight deadline-the end of fiscal year 1980-and Dec. 15. Syria calls for expulsion of Israel from U.N. UNITED NATIONS(AP.)-Syria urged the General Assembly yesterday to throw Israel out, but Arab, American and Israeli diplomats gave the effort little chance. President Carter said such an action could jeopardize future U.S. participation in the United Nations. In an address to the 35th session of the U.N. General Assembly, Syrian Foreign Minister Abdul Halim Khad- dam urged the body "to reconsider Israel's membership in this inter- national organization because it has constantly and systematically and ob- stinately been flouting the decisions of this assembly and organization." The proposal follows one made at a recent 39-nation Islamic conference at Fez, Morocco, to rally enough East bloc and Third World votes to challenge Israel's credentials to sit in the General Assembly. ON MONDAY, Carter said in a New York that if the hardline Arab expulsion threat was carried out against Israel, it ''would raise the gravest questions about the future of the General Assem- bly and further participation of the United States and other nations in the deliberations of that body." Similar action, initiated by black African states, succeeded against South Africa six years ago. Although the Pretoria government lacks the creden- tials to sit in the General Assembly, it still is a nominal U.N. member state and can take part in Security Council debates on matters of direct concern such as proposed independence for South African-ruled South-West Africa, also known as Namibia. Procedural issues, such as approval of credentials, can be decided by a sim- ple majority in the Assembly, where each country has one vote. COMPLETE expulsion from the United Nations would require action by the 15-nation Security Council, where the United States can block such a move. Khaddam urged the Assembly to take "decisive action against Israel" because "the United States has been able to paralyze the Security Council through the abuse of its right to veto." An Arab diplomat whose country has not aligned itself with the hard-line op- ponents of the U.S.-sponsored Camp David peace negotiations said he did not think Syria could get enough Third World votes to bar Israel from the Assembly. DONALD McHENRY, chief U.S. delegate to the United Nations, and Egyptian Foreign Minister Kamal Hassan Aly agreed. Aly told a'hewsman any move to expel Israel would harm peace efforts. An Israeli spokesman said there was no justification for expulsion. '"For the sake of the United Nations, Israel should stay in the organization," he ad- ded. Another Israeli source expressed the belief it was too late for Syria to suc- ceed in this session since the Assem- bly's credentials committee already had recommended approval of Israel's continued right to sit in the chamber. A full Assembly vote on credentials is ex- pected in mid-October. Attention I Graduat g Seniors MININiG GINEERS METALLURGICAL ENGR. E.E. & MECH. ENGRS. CHEM & CIVIL ENGRS.

"The bulding I lived in last year has furnished apartments for rent, as does the house I'm in now," said Deaver, adding that he found rent on his present -partment somewhat lower than he had anticipated. Steve Welch,'assistant vice-president of Ann Arbor Trust Company, cited another possible reason for the dearth of tenants in Ann Arbor. "The housing market is off because the sales market is off," he explained. "People who have not been successful in selling their houses are renting them out instead, so there are more rental units available." candidate for this might consult University Athletic Director Don Canham for the necessary nod.) Cautioning that restricted funds "don't necessarily make loans easier to .get,"' Hermsen -°said, that qualified, students must still go through normal University loan procedures. "If you said you're from Phoenix," he said, "it really wouldn't make.a difference. It would help us useour money a little bet- ter." With resources at the financial aid of- fices becoming more tight every day, Hermsen expressed apprehension about some restricted loan categories-namely those with obscure demands, because those funds tend to, go unused when students must satisfy unusual prerequisites to qualify for them. "Obscure categories are discouraged," he said, "they may not be used." While defending the rights of alumni to create their own qualifications, Hermsen said he would "prefer to have them let the financial aid office determine what students deserve what funds."
