THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
Pag* Five
PHANTOMS ...
(Continued from Page 1)
Officials of the Douglass-Mc-
Donnell Co., producer of the
Phantom, told the Jewish Tele
graphic Agency they had nothing
to confirm that the Phantom was
the plane. The company does not
sell directly to foreign govern
ments but to the U.S. Navy Air
System Procurement Command
and it is the Government which
transfers the planes to foreign
buyers. The 50 Phantoms Israel
wants would cost about $200
million.
The company denied reports by
some Congressmen that it would
take until 1970 to produce and
deliver the Phantoms. Timing
would be in the hands of Navy
procurement officers and earlier
delivery than 1970 was consider
ed possible. The Phantom, a
Mach-2 plus fighter bomber can
go twice the speed of sound at a
record 1,600-miles-per-hour. It
has altitude of nearly 200,000
feet. A two-man plane, its range
is 900 miles for air-to-air inter
ception, 1,000 miles for bombing
missions and 2,000 miles for
ferrying. It can carry up to eight
tons of weapons, including
bombs, napalm, mines, rockets
and missiles.
Political overtones inevitably
developed in comments on the
Johnson announcement. The New
York Times said that the action
appeared to stem from “a con
vergence of domestic political
pressures” and the disinterest of
the Soviets in arms limitations
for the Middle East. British
newspapers were virtually
unanimous in attributing the an
nouncement to election year
politics and the power of the
‘‘Jewish vote.” The Soviet News
Agency, Tass, said the action
would lead to more tension in the
Middle East.
