"Because of actions like today's by the Senate, the cause of peace is on the march again in the Middle East," Reagan said.

In a letter delivered to the Senate earlier in the day, he pledged that a condition of the sale will be "substantial assistance of Saudi Arabia" in Mideast peace efforts. Four of the 24 AWACS planes within the U.S. inventory already are operating with American crews in Saudi Arabia to guard against possible air attack by Iran or other hostile powers. The ones the Saudis will buy will lack advanced features such as jam-resistant communications devices. Administration officials assured Congress last spring that Israel's qualitative edge over its potential Arab foes would be maintained.

In the end a majority of senators the 48 opponents plus the seven who switched said they still did not like the deal. But most of the seven who turned In Reagan's favor at the end said a major foreign policy defeat for the President would be worse. "He makes persuasive arguments based on the fact that we only have one President of the United States at a time," said Sen. Edward Zorinsky, who met with Reagan for 40 minutes earlier in the day and whose switch during the roll call surprised the White House. "He indicated that it is difficult for him to conduct foreign policy with a defeat of this nature." Sen.

Mark Andrews, another last-day convert, said he would have voted against the arms sale alone. But he said it instead turned into "a test of the President's credibility." Sen. William L. Cohen, R-Maine, the Unitarian son of a Jewish baker, had a different reason for his conversion. He said he became concerned that because of Jewish opposition "Israel will become a scapegoat if we reject the sale."

"Our friends should realize that steadfastness to purpose is a hallmark of American foreign policy while those who would create instability in this region should note that the forces of moderation have our unequivocal support in deterring aggression," he said. The Senate vote, two weeks after the House rejected the sale by almost a 3-1 margin, crowned an uphill fight that less than 24 hours earlier had seemed likely to end up in a 50-50 tie.

That, too, would have been enough for Reagan, since opponents needed a majority for the first-ever congressional veto of a U.S. arms sale. And even while Congress is considering $22 billion in economic and military aid for Israel in the current fiscal year, talks are under way on the 1983 package and now will take the Saudi arms into consideration. Opponents said the Saudi sale will increase the Arab threat to Israel, escalate the Mideast arms race and risk compromising the secret AWACS and Sidewinder technology if the Saudi monarchy is overthrown. "We are putting all our aid in one basket the Saudi basket and it's the wrong one," said Sen.

The Saudis will pay $8.5 billion for the biggest single U.S.

arms sale in history. The package includes five AWACS aircraft, the world's most advanced radar planes, plus 1,177 Sidewinder missiles, fuel pods and flying tankers for 62 F-15 jets already on order.

(AP Photo) Late wedding dress leads to lawsuit Dodgers Israel condemns AWACS sale; Saudis call Reagan great leader more than one fitting, and that there would be no refund because the dress was customized.

After the first fitting and first alternations were finished, Ms. Gibson said Mrs. Price became "very perturbed. She had time (for a second fitting), and she could have waited. She just became very impatient." Mrs.

Gibson said the bride-to-be appeared "very emotional, and a lot of times these brides are under a lot of pressure." and the new Moslem year," said a reporter at a newspaper in Jidda. "America needed the AWACS deal more than Saudi Arabia did" because otherwise its ties with 150 million Arabs would have been broken. "We are happy because America, after all this uncertainty and anguishing wait, turned out to be the friend in need," said Hassan Abdel-Aziz, an office clerk in Jidda. DAYTON (AP) The owner of the Athena Bridal Boutique says Ellen Swinehart Prices wedding dress is ready to pick up. But Mrs.

Price, of nearby Troy, says it wasn't ready in time for her wedding Oct. 4, 1980, and she's filed suit to get a $313.95 refund, $10,000 for mental anguish and $25,000 in exemplary damages. Her father, attorney Howard E. Swinehart, says Mrs. Price had to buy another dress.

Swinehart said that the night before the wedding, she "found a (bridal) store that was closed, and pounded on the door." Mrs. Price, 23, said she first went to Athena's Aug. 21, 1980, and picked out the dress, but that she wanted a different type of sleeve. In her suit, filed in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court, she claims Athena's failed to have the dress ready as agreed Sept. 29, and that the changes still hadn't been completed satisfactorily by the next day.

Joan Gibson, owner of the bridal store, said it was explained to Mrs. Price that she might have to come in for From Page 1 could not join the action because they finished second in the National League West in both halves of the season. The Yankees, winners of the American League pennant for the 33rd time this year, were denied their 23rd world championship. The key to the sixth game may have been Yankee manager Bob Lemon's decision to pinch-hit for Yankee starter Tommy John in the New York fourth with the score tied 1-1. The Dodgers jumped on reliever George Frazier for three runs in the fifth.

Third baseman Ron Cey drove in second baseman Dave Lopes, who committed a World Series record of five errors in the field, with the go-ahead run in the fifth inning. Guerrero pounded home two more with a triple. Frazier lost for the third time, breaking a mark for six- and seven-game World Series. The Dodgers ended all doubt that New York's season was over an inning later, sending 10 men to the plate with Guerrero driving home the last two runs for an 8-1 lead. Israel's conservative daily Yedioth Ahronoth said, "If President Reagan is now in seventh heaven, his mood is understandable, because it is to be expected that in the short run at least his success will help him.

But we are hurt in the short term prestige-wise and psychologically and in the long term in our national security." The Jidda newspaper Okaz said the vote was "in essence a victory for Reagan's dignity and influence in holding the helm of America's foreign policy." "Allah is my witness, the timing of the AWACS victory over Israeli lobbyists is replete with proofs that the Almighty has awarded us a special gift," said Tar-if al-Rale, a shopkeeper in Mecca. Newspaper editors said they received hundreds of calls from people who wanted to verify the news Wednesday night. "They were jubilant, and the AWACS news prompted them to celebrate a double occasion the radar plane triumph Teen found dead NEWBURGH HEIGHTS (AP) Police in this Cleveland suburb are investigating the death of a 17-year-old boy whose body was found behind a warehouse. The body of Kurt Soya, a high school junior, was found Wednesday night. Police said he had been missing since last Friday.

The boy's father, Kenneth Soya, said his son was last seen at a party at 9:30 p.m. that night, about four blocks from where his body was found. Israel's Maariv said the vote proved "petrodollars carry tremendous power in the calculations of U.S. foreign policy. The Alsoclated Press The Israeli Cabinet said today that the U.S.

Senate's approval of the sale of AWACS spy planes to Saudi Arabia posed "a new, serious danger" that Israel would do everything necessary to overcome. Saudi Arabia's government-controlled newspapers hailed President Reagan as one of the greatest American leaders in history. Egypt's Foreign Minister Ramat Hassan Aly lauded the 52-48 vote, calling it a "positive turning point in relations between the United States and the Arab nations" that will enable "Arab countries to defend themselves against any foreign intervention." "The government of Israel expresses its regret over the decision of the American Senate on the twofold arms deal between the United States and Saudi Arabia, which is in a state of war with Israel, rejects the Camp David accords and finances terror in our region." the Israeli Cabinet said in a statement read by Prime Minister Menachem Begin after an emergency meeting. "The government reiterates that a new and serious danger now faces Israel We will do all that we have to in order to overcome (it)." Begin told reporters Reagan send him a message reaffirming that "America remains committed to help Israel retain its military and technological advantages in the Middle East." "The security of Israel remains an essential factor in our decisions of strategic issues in the region," he quoted the President as saying. "We hope that these words of the President will be carried into realization," the prime minister added.

Begin expressed his thanks to those who sided with Israel during the long debate and said many congressmen who voted for the sale "nurture in their hearts warm feelings toward our people and country." From the other side of the political fence, former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of the opposition Labor Party told Israel Army Radio the Senate's decision was "a victory for a state that has consistently opposed the Camp David peace accords. We must ask ourselves, does the United States still regard the Camp David peace process as binding?" Israel Radio quoted Defense Minister Ariel Sharon as saying the deal was "the greatest danger facing" the Jewish state because the planes would be able to detect every movement in Israeli skies and pinpoint the location of planes on the ground. Israel understands "that the United States must supply arms to the Arabs but why must they be the most sophisticated weapons?" he asked. "The vote showed that the Reagan administration reached the limit of its ability to influence," Dr. Avraham Ben-Zvi, a Tel Aviv University expert on U.S.

affairs, told the Army Radio. "It used muscle and pressure in a possibly unprecedented intensive manner, and all that for an extremely thin victory." He said Israel could expect some gesture of good will from the administration, that "one can expect the winner to make a gesture to the side that fought well but lost." He suggested Washington might be willing to share more intelligence and satellite information with Israel. In Saudi Arabia, there was jubilation over the news which came as the Moslem nation was celebrating the Islamic New Year. The newspaper Al-Jazira said the vote "brought Reagan into the tent of history as one of the greatest American leaders in recorded history."
