But given the continued reluctance of many in Congress to see military spending expanded, administration officials believe seeking a bigger boost would be unrealistic. Roy L. Ash, director of the President's Office of Management and Budget, said the President believes it is important to upgrade some elements of the U.

S. military system "in recognition of the information and reevaluations that have come from recent world military activities" mainly the Arab-Israeli war. Pentagon officials said the war, in which the Arabs used Soviet equipment and the Israelis relied heavily on U. S. arms, provided considerable new information on the performance of antitank and antiaircraft weapons, and short-range tactical missiles.

U. S. officials are concerned about Arab success in using Soviet surface-to-air missiles to knock down vast numbers of American-built Israeli jets. PART OF the new money, if Congress approves it, is likely to be used simoly to increase stockpiles, and perhaps refine somewhat certain existing U. S.

weaponry, one Pentagon official said. This official said there may also be an effort to increase U. S. military airlift capacity. He declined to say whether this would involve increased purchases of existing transport aircraft, such as the Lockheed Aircraft Corp.

11 vote, company officials also have urged a secret ballot revote on their offer, contending the original voice vote might not have reflected genuine membership sentiment.

He added, however, "As far as we're concerned, the union knows our position and I anticipate it will stay right where it is." Drury said it seemed "a little funny that only 513 out of 980 people were willing to stand up to be counted." The motion to reconsider he contract was made by a member who called for a new special meeting complete with another point-by-point explanation of the company proposal by Somody. Background On Strike URW Local 18 has been on strike against the Seiberling Rubber Co.

since Oct. 1 when the union's old contract expired. The key issue in the dispute is a company-proposed change in the method by which piece-rate workers are paid during periods of mechanical breakdown and other-production disruption. On Dec. 11, union members shouted down a company contract proposal in a voice vote after union officials recommended rejection.
