talks at the United Nations until Soviet-made ' SAM missiles installed illegally in the Suez Canal truce zone are removed. Mrs. Meir also is expected to expre^ strong disagreement with views of some Nixon Administration officials who question whether the Soviet-Egyptian installations of new missiles havej changed the power balance in the area.

weapons offer as an offset to the Egyptian missile buildup and as an effort to persuade Israel to resume par¬ ticipation in the peace talks under Dr. Gunnar Jarring, the UN special peace emissary. Support for the reports on additional United States arms was given by Secretary of State William P. Rogers in testimony yesterday at an unusual Saturday meeting of t^e, foreign operations sub¬ committee of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Mr. Rogers appeared before the subcommittee in  an
effort to . obtain Senate reversal.of a $536 million House cut in an Ad¬ ministration request for $1.8 billion for foreign aid for fiscal 1971.- He told the subcommittee that the Administration was planning to resume economic aid to Israel' and to increase military assistance.
Israel has hot received U.S, economic aid for some five years, purportedly because of the advanced state of its economy but Mr. Rogers said that Israeli defense purchases had created "a serious economic problem." He said a decision on the aid would be reached "in the near future" and that "we now have under don- sideration/ economic assistance or supporting assistance for Israel." He dedined to tell the Senators how much help and of what
type the Administration was considering -for Israel. His disclosure that the Ad¬ ministration was studying a comprehensive aid program for Israel was the first time it had been made publidy. (Confirmation of the report that the main points of Mrs. Meir's agenda for the Nixon meeting will be' the suspended Jarring talks and the removal of the illegally placed missiles came today from Jerusalem. Sources there said that Mrs. Meir also intends to renew Israel's request, made last year, for $1 billion in economic aid. Because of vastly increased outlays for defense because of the Soviet involvement, Israel feels entitled to ask for aid of that magnitude, the sources said. Mrs. Meir will also ask for a United States guarantee against Spviet

On the occasion of the forthcoming Jewish High Holidays, Columbus synagogues will participate in a special effort to provide urgently needed financial resources to strengthen Israel's economy at a critical turning point in the history of the young democracy, it was an¬ nounced today by Howard R. Schoenbaum, Chairman of the Columbus Committee for State of Israel Bonds.
Mr. Schoenbaum indicated that this High Holiday period will coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Israel Bond Organization'at a conference in Jerusalem in Sept., 1950. Since, then, it has become traditional in synagogues throughout the United States and Canada to devote a portion of v the services during the High Holidays to the Israel Bdnd program as the central source of funds for Israel's economic development,, he said.
lihe Jewish High Holidays are Rosh Hashanah (New Year), which will be ob¬ served on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 1st and 2nd, ushering in the Year 5731, and Yom Kippur (Day,of Atonement), on Saturday, Oct. 10. As in past years, the High Holiday Israel Bond effort by the synagogues will launch the concentrated Fall campaign to aid Israel's economic growth this year, the Chairman explained.
Mr; Schoenbaum em¬ phasized that mainly through the'infusion of large- scale Israel Bond funds, Israel has been able to keep its economy functioning in the face of repeated conflict and'hostilities on the part of its Arab neighbors. Israel bonds take on added sigp.ifjpan.cie    because
peace, following twenty-two years of intermittent crisis, rest not only on the strength of Israel's people and their ideas of peace and justice, but also on the strength and soundness of Israel's economic foundations," he said.
Israel looks to peace as the beginning of an era in which it will be able to devote its manpower and resources more fully toward- the achievement of economic independence. But at the present time Israd faces an overwhelming defense burden that makes it so much more dependent on Israel Bonds to meet the needs of its Development Budget for maintaining the growth and strength of its economy.
"It is clear that as Americans and Jews, committed to the survival of Israel, we dare not relax our efforts to bolster the economy of Israel at this Critical turning point in its history. Our participation in the Israel Bond drive has enabled Israel to complete many basic development projects, aff^ting almost every branch of Israel's economic life, and to absorb close to 1,500,000 immigrants during the past two decades. Other key projects must still be implemented, and ad¬ ditional homes and jobs must be provided for the ab¬ sorption of bdween 50,000 and 60,000 newcomers ex¬ pected this year.
"On the threshold of the New Year, peace is up¬ permost in the minds and hearts of the people of Israel. In the spirit of this sacred season, we join our hopes to . theirs, and extend our partnership through Israd Bonds toward the swift achievement of the goals of
