DIALOGUE IN ISRAEL
The fifth annual “American-Israel Dialogue” will take place
w this month (July 27, 28 and 29) at the Weizmann Institute of
Science in Rehovoth, Israel. In a country as young as Israel, ony-
2 thing that happens five years in a row is a veritable tradition.
• And this annual “Dialogue,” sponsored by the American Jewish
<m Congress, has indeed become an important event in the intellec-
ts tual life of Israel,

Taxis are hard to find in any city when one leaves the central
part of town. They usually have to be called. Since the police-
fman didn’t have a phone to call one I started on a journey that
was to take me around Moscow for a few hours.
I walked for several blocks. Traffic was sparse. A few trucks
and one or two passenger cars or taxis. Each were occupied and
didn’t stop. I had hitched rides thltlough four years of army life on
everything from airplanes to private navy speedboats. The time
had come to reemploy old training and experience.

SEN. EUGENE McCARTHY
NEW YORK (JTA)—Sen. Eu-
gene McCarthy, Minnesota Dem-
ocrat, questioned the shift of
United States policy from one
of non-involvement in arms sup-
ply to the Middle East to one of
seeking to maintain an arms bal-
ance between Israel and the Arab
countries.
Writing in the Saturday Review,
the Minnesota Senator expressed
concern over “the spiraling arms
buildup” in that area. He asserted
that “it was difficult to believe
that the increasing supplies of so-
phisticated weapons in the area
will contribute to the maintenance
of peace or the reduction of ten-
sions.” The criticism is part of a
larger argument that American
foreign policy is being “under-
mined” by $35,000,000,000 worth
of armaments exports.
He noted that the State Depart-
ment had been under increasing
pressure about Jordan because of
the United States sale to Israel of
weapons previously promised by
West Germany under an arms deal
canceled in 1965.
That should he easy enough, I thought.
