March 17, 1972 THE WISCONSIN JEWISH CHRONICLE 3 Two Soviet Mias Marcuse Contests Right of Israel to Exist as a Sovereign State Over Sinai Fly he said he supported every effort to prevent persecution whether it was for reasons of color or religion. One way to help persecuted Jews is to let them come to Israel, he said. Asked if he would settle here, Marcuse said that depended on what went on in this country. He disclaimed being the "spokesman or the father or the grandfather" of the New Left. Knesset Approves $3.81 National Budget for 1973 JERUSALEM (JTA) The Knesset passed on the first reading the national budget for the 1973 fiscal year by a vote of 48-18.

HAIFA (JTA) Prof. Herbert Marcuse, the doyen of the American New Left, said here that he does not "define the Jews as a nation" and does not contest the right of Isreal "To exist as a sovereign state but only as what can be termed as a colonial state." Marcuse, a controversial figure in the man who is the acknowlegded inspiration of the New Left. He told his audience, "If you define the Jewish people as a nation, then Zionism can be called a national liberation movement." He added, "I personally do not define the Jews as a nation." Asked about his personal position, he replied that as a Jew he had the right to criticize the government of the Jewish State.

The overflight was the third violation of Israeli air space by Soviet MIGs since last Oct. The US has been given full details of the overflight nine miles inside Sinai. As on the previous occasions, Israeli interceptors were unable to make Will ly $3.81 billion. In ending a mammoth debate in the Knesset, Sapir warned both management and labor of the urgency of maintaining price stability.

He said the wage policy approved by both sides had made it possible to absorb a rise in manufacturing costs without bringing about a considerable rise in prices. Sapir added that if employers "dragged the economy" into a wave of price increases, they would be "cutting off the branch on which they sit." He said Israel's workers would not tolerate any dilution of their purchasing power and would demand compensation for any price boots, leaving the road open to inflation. He added that if this did happen, the government would be forced to take "drastic steps." 03GEB flit?

The overflight occurred at noon. Crossed on Diagonal Course The MIGs crossed the Sinai peninsula on a diagonal course from north to southeast which took them from Ismailia in the central section of the Suez Canal zone to Sharm-el-Sheikh on the south-eastern extremity of the peninsula. They then changed course and flew westward across the Red Sea to Egypt, Israeli military sources said. The MIG-23s were over the Sinai peninsula for several minutes, the longest overflight so far of Israel-held territory.

They are believed to have made a sequence of photographs of roads and other strategic Israeli emplacements in what is probably the most heavily defended area in the Middle East. It is almost certain that the film will be turned over to Egyptian intelligence, Israeli sources said. The MIG-23, which NATO knows as the "Foxbat" has a ceiling of 80,000 feet, about 10,000 feet higher than that of the American F-4 Phantom jet and a supersonic speed in excess of the Phantom's. Piloted by Russians Egypt is believed to be the only country outside the borders of the USSR where the MIG-23s are deployed. They are piloted exclusively by Russians and are part of Egypt's air defense system which JERUSALEM (JTA) Israel may be experiencing too much of a good thing in the relatively high proportion of immigrants with college degrees arriving in the country.

Labor Minister Yosef Almogi told the Knesset that the economy was not geared to absorb so large an influx of professionals and predicted that finding them employment would be one of the major challenges of 1972. Almogi said 10,000 of the 70,000 immigrants expected this year will be holders cf academic degrees in the free professions. He noted that this category of immigrants numbered 17,000 over the three years, 1969-1971 and represented a 15 per cent increase in their sector of the labor force based on the 1968 figures. Other sectors of the labor force experienced a mere 3 per cent increase over the same period, he said.

Last Nov. 6, another pair of Fox-bats overflew northwest Sinai. Nevertheless, the fact remains that under President Nixon, the US has authorized $1,151 million for Israel close to half of all publicly disclosed American aid to Israel in its 23-year history.

Preponderantly military, the aid has come partly as a result of the continuing tensions between Israelis and Arabs but, perhaps now, much more importantly in America's own interest in view of the Soviet penetrations into the Levant as Nixon's recent Foreign Policy Report clearly implies. Previous Aid All Economic The assistance from previous administrations, however, has been nearly all economic. That came when Israel was building its national foundations and needed food for its immigrants. Thus, between July 1, 1948, (Truman) and June 30, 1969 (last Johnson budget) US economic aid to Israel totaled $1,225 million. Military support (classified data excluded) aggre- S.

Africa to Establish Consulate in Israel JOHANNESBURG (JTA) South Africa will shortly open a Consulate General in Israel, it was reported here. Israel has had diplomatic representation in South Africa for more than two decades but until now South Africa dealt with Israel through their mission in Athens. This will be South Africa's first direct representation in Israel. Dr. Charles Fincham, a senior foreign affairs officer, will leave South Africa for Israel shortly to open the new Consulate General, it was reported.

These human needs have historically been met by people who care. Now, as the screams for the next war drown out a call for help, you, through the United Jewish Appeal, must try to hear that call. And you must answer.

It must be stressed the North View district office, was that in all the 23 years, Israel has not received a penny in grants for "We'll meet in Tel Aviv." That is the violent voice of determined hatred. The voice of promised Arab attack. The voice of warning that Israel will still have to fight for peace.

And this is the voice Israel hears 24 hours a day while she waits and guards against the next war. To keep this guard demands all her energy, all her resources, all her money and all her strong citizens. Which leaves little or nothing for other vital needs. Except you. Little or nothing to cope with the problems faced by 300,000 needy immigrants who have poured into the country in recent years.

Seeking to credit each US Administration with its precise support can be hazardous since the data is based on "net obligations and loan authorizations" and, of course, the secret figures. When and how much of the budgeted funds actually were made available by the administrations which made the budgets could not be pinpointed. As already indicated, Johnson, for instance, pledged 50 Phantoms but many of them were delivered after Nixon's inauguration and with his approval. It is to be expected that much more will be heard about aid to Israel from both Republicans and Democrats until the first Tuesday after the first Monday next November.
