Oil company
loves Israel

Atlantic Richfield Carp., has
urged the United States to give
unremitting support to Israel as
its partner in the world struggle
for human rights.
Tbs ARCO chief executive of
ficer, one of this country's most
prominent oil industry figures,
said in a recent address to the
Los Angelos Chapter ef the
American Jewish Committee
that “the United States is depen
dent upon Israel” as one of its
most trustworthy allies in the
struggle for the survival of
freedom.
“There are some who say that
Israel is dependent upon the
United States,” Mr. Bradshaw

States is dependent upon Israel.
Israel and the United States are
the standard bearers in the bat
tle for human rights and the
dignity of the individual”

WASHINGTON (ZINS) -
Firm assurances were given at a
meeting here of American and
Israeli petroleum officials, that
Israel would not lack for crude
oil supplies. When Israel relin
quished the Sinai oil fields at
Abu Rodeis to the Egyptians in
1975, it did so on an American
guarantee that its crude re
quirements would be adequately
served from other sources. That
pledge, according to reliably in
formed sources, is being fully
honored. . ... r

According to a story in
Newsweek Magazine, the regula
tion is “a new human-rights con
troversy in the making” since
the ban obviously is aimed “to
disrupt the mailing of matzos to
Soviet Jews in time for
Passover.”
Several Jewish groups have
already indicated that they in
tend to protest the regulation.
The Soviet banned the mailing
of matzos in 1963 and even
prohibited the baking of un
leavened bread inside Russia.
The reaction at that time was so
intense that the Russians revok
ed the mailing ban and allowed
matzos to be baked. But Jews in
Russia still depend on imported
matzos.
“American Jews are preparing
a protest now,” according
Newsweek.
