DOUBLE INDEMNITY
(Billy Wilder, 1944)
EDWARD G. ROBINSON is a top insurance investigator and FRED MacMURRAY
is his young protege. When MacMurray meets up with nasty Barbara Stan-
wyck, there's trouble ahead as they plan to murder Stanwyck's spouse and
collect on the insutance policy. This film noir has a real pedigree, from the
James M. Cain novel it's based on, to its screenplay by Billy Wilder and
Raymond Chandler. "Working with Billy Wilder on DOUBLE INDEMNITY was
an agonizing experience and has probably shortened my life, but I learned
about as much about screenwriting as I am capable of learning." Raymond

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Fahd
suggested Wednesday it was time for
an Islamic "holy war" against Israel
over a new law affirming united
Jerusalem's status as the eternal
capital of Israel.
ARAB DIPLOMATS in Beirut said
the Saudi call for a jihad, or holy war,
was not a summons to battle with tanks
and planes but indicated a possible anti-
Israel economic blockade that could in-
volved selective oil sanctions against
Israel's friends in the West.
"We're not after a military conflict,"
said one Arab diplomatic expert on
Saudi Arabian affairs who declined to
be named. "But we certinaly possess
the economic power and potential to
lash back at Israel and squeeze its sup-
porters."

Arab diplomats in Beirut say details
of a looming economic confrontation
are to be worked out by an Arab sum-
mit conference scheduled for mid-
November in Amman, Jordan.
Fahd's statement surprised some
because Saudi Arabia has long been
considered a moderate among the
Mideast's more radical regimes.
He said "a desire for restraint and
moderation" was useless in dealing
with the Jewish state,-and asked:
"Hasn't the call for Arabs and Moslems
to a long and persisting jihadbecome the
only answer to the Zionist religious and
racist arrogance?"
In Israel, the Foreign Ministry said it
was "not shocked and not worried" by
the Saudi statement. Naftali Lavie, a
Foreign Ministry spokesman, said, "it
indicates there is no real change in the
Saudi position."
