Sliding Class
Doors are
easy to
live with.
A self-closing
screen is
just one
reason why,
Pella Sliding C.lass Doors have earned a
snug spot in homeowners' hearts. By
automatically closing and latching their
own screens. And by being energy-tight.
The sliding panel of the door is mounted
on the outside track, so the harder the
wind blows, the tighter it seals. That's a
heart-warming idea for homeowners.

Reagan gives OK
Saudis to get five AWACs
rr , ihp AWAG
by Joseph Polakoff
TSl’s Washington correspondent
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan will shortly certify in writ
ing to Congress that Saudi Arabia
has met the five sets of conditions
he has tied to the U.S. sale of five
AWACs in 1981 and that the deliv
ery of the first of the electronic sur
veillance planes will be made soon.
State Department spokesman Ber
nard Kalb said “all assurances” in
the president’s letter of Oct. 28,
1981, to then-Senate Majority
Leader Howard Baker (R.-Ienn.)
“have been met.
“These assurances involve the
security of AWACs technology and
the contribution of the sale to
regional peace and stability,” Kalb
said. The presidential certification,
he added, “is a final step required
prior to delivery of the AWACs.”
Specialists at both the Capitol
and the State Department said to
The Southern Israelite that no route
exists by which Congress can block
the transfer. “Once the White House
makes the certification to Congress,
it’s all done,” a State Department
official said. “Essentially it would
take a law to stop it.”
No opposition to delivery ot the
spy plane has been noted at the
Capitol. An aide to Sen. Alan
Cranston (D.-Calif.) noted that no
time period is involved tor C on-
gress to consider the certification
or delay delivery. “Anytime” alter
Congress had received the presi
dent’s letter, he said, delivery can
be made. Cranston led the recent
battle in the Senate against the sale
of missiles to Saudi Arabia.
At the office of Rep. Mel Levine
(D.-Calif.), who led the overwhelm
ing opposition in the House to the
missiles deal, an aide said “nothing
has crystallized” about the delivery
of the AWACs.
Assurances from the Saudis that
the president said he would obtain
when the sale was being debated in
the Senate in 1981 include Saudi
cooperation that equipment and
intelligence information obtained
by the spy plane will not pass to
elements hostile to the United States
or be used against Israel.
The recent opposition in Con
gress against delivery ot the mis
siles was based on the contention
that Saudi Arabia had not taken
action to support the U.S. effort to
support Arab-lsraeli talks but had
in fact opposed those efforts and
also that the Saudis have been
financing the Palestine Liberation
Organization, Syria and others
involved in terrorism. The battle
lines thus were drawn essentially
on U.S.-Saudi relations and not on
Saudi-lsraeli issues.
Both Israel and the American-
Israel Public Affairs Committee
had stayed away from a confronta
tion with the administration over
the missile sale. However, the
Zionist Organization of America,
Americans for a Sale Israel and
Hadassah had spoken out against
it.
Israeli Embassy spokesman Yossi
Gal said Israel has not changed its
longstanding position against de
livery of weapons to a country in a
state of war with Israel, but it has
made “no specific statement” about
the AWACs.
AlPAC’s executive committee,
headed by the organization’s pres
ident, Robert Asher, is to evaluate
the current circumstances about
the spy planes delivery. Adminis
tration sources indicated, on back
ground, that apart from whether
Congress could raise legal muscle
against the delivery, the fact that
the AWACs transfer was part of a
five-year-old $8.5 billion sale mil
itates against serious congressional
oppostion. The Saudis have paid
$3.2 billion toward building the
aircraft. If delivery were blocked,
that money would have to be repaid
by congressional appropriation. In
addition, the U.S. Air Force claims
it can’t use the AWACs because
they are being produced to Saudi
specifications.

BONN (JTA)—The Interior
Ministry reported this week that
neo-Nazi organizations in West
Germany have a combined mem
bership of about 22,500. that sev
eral of them are prone to violence
and that extremists on the far right
have one thing in common with
extremists of the far left anti-
Americanism.
But while emphasizing that as
pect, the ministry made no men
tion of recent anti-Semitic mani
festations involving members of
the mainstream political parties
that were serious enough to prompt
a full-scale debate in the Bundes
tag. These included a remark by
the mayor of one town, affiliated
with the ruling Christian Demo
cratic Union (CDU) that “killing a
few rich Jews” would balance the
municipal budget.
An official of the Christian Social
Union (CSU), the CDU’s Bavarian
sister-party, created a scandal when
he said, with reference to repara
tions claims by Jews used as slave
labor during World War II, that
“Jews always show up when money
jingles in German cash boxes."
The Interior Ministry’s report
noted that there were 78 neo-Na/i
groups in I985, the largest being
the German Peoples Union with a
membership of 1 2,000. The second
largest, with a membership of 6,100
was led by the National Demo
cratic Party (NPD). The N PD has
made repeated but unsuccessful
attempts in recent years to get its
candidates elected to the Bundes
tag and to state parliaments.
Its one success, the report said,
was in the state elections of dele
gates to the Strasbourg-based Par
liament of Europe where the NPD
group won nearly five percent ot
the popular vote.
Both right-wing and left-wing
extremistsdenounce American “im
perialism” and spread hostility
against Americans stationed in W est
Germany, the report said. They
depict Americans here as represen
tatives of a foreign power trying to
impose its will on the German peo
ple against their own interests.
The report said that 3,550 of
West Germany’s Arab residents
are affiliated with such groups as
the Palestine Liberation Organi/a-
