Wednesday, Dneber 15, 1971 16 U.S. Idea Of Balance WASHINGTON (AP) The Nixon version of a Mideast military balance is an Israel strong enough to defend against an Arab attack into territory she now but not mighty enough to strike deep into Egypt. The United States is committed to preventing the balance of power from swinging against Israel. But just what constitutes a is usually in some disagreement.

The United States has yet to supply the additional Phantom jets Israel wants. According to the U.S. estimate, army of some men is superior to army and 100,000 man force combined. The navies of the opposing sides are too small to make much difference either way. Air power is rated a key factor.

On this, the U.S. analysts say more planes for Egypt would do her little good now because she lacks the pilots to fly them.

Israeli planes flying into Egypt would face missile defenses emplaced since the 1967 war, and possibly Soviet as well as Egyptian planes. In 1967 the Israelis were able to launch a pre-emptive strike, destroying much of air force on the ground. The U.S. calculation presumes that under a the Israelis would be able to repel Arab attackers without overly heavy losses to Israel. It figures canalcrossing capability is as yet limited, though Israel would suffer more losses now in repelling an Arab invasion than it did in the brief 1967 fight.

The still would prevail, in the U.S. view, even with Soviet pilots on side, providing they flew only defensive missions. But Soviet offensive strikes or other operations over Israeliheld territory could quickly tip the scale against Israel. Yes.

But, if you do, be aware that it takes one full hour for two-thirds of an ounce of alcohol to burn out of your system.

If you are going to a party as a couple, or with other couples, it might be a good idea to decide which person in the group will not drink at all and thus be responsible for the safe driving. If you go to several, you might take turns from party to party. However you decide to handle it, stay sober drive carefully and stay alive to enjoy the next holiday season.
