..JERUSALEM (WNS) — The Israeli Cabinet has
unanimously approved Premier Yitzhak Rabin going
to Washington in early September. Rabin said that
former President Nixon invited him to come to
Washington at the end of the summer and this timing
was used by President Ford when he renewed the date.
The Cabinet spent most of its session completing its
study of the lessons to be learned from the Yom Kippur
War. "Thelearning of lessons is not a one time affair,"
Rabin said. "It is a continuous effort which demands
fresh thought,and continuous application of the
renovations of the study of combat."
WASHINGTON (WNS) —An agreement between the
Ford Administration and Congress over the issue of
most favored nation trade status for the Soviet Union
in return for relaxed emigration restrictions is
reported near. Sen. Abraham D. Ribicoff (D. Conn.)
who along with Senators Henry M. Jackson (D. Wash.)
and, Jacob K. Javits (R. N.Y.), has been meeting
regularly with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger
6ft the issue, told the Senate Finance Committee that
"we are very close to an agreement.'' Jackson said he
believes prospects are very goodfor an agreement
because the Soviets have changed their position .since'
"they are in real economic trouble." Capital Hill
sources report that before the Senate Finance Com¬
mittee completes work on the trade bill there will be an
exchange of letters between either Ford or Kissinger
and the three senators outlining the terms of the
agreement. ,    •

in this period of self-
evaluation.

Terrorist Alert Sounded In Israel
JERUSALEM, (JTA) —
The Israeli public has been
urged to double its alertness
in the light of increasing
sabotage attempts in the last
several days. The latest
incidents were reported last
week when a bomb was
discovered in Jerasulem and
an attempt in Netanya was
thwarted by aler,t lifeguards.
In Jerusalem a bomb was
discovered under a fruit and
.vegetable stand in the
Mahane Yehuda market
only a few yards from where
a , booby-trapped baby
carriage was found last
week. The bomb, hidden in a
bread loaf, was dismantled
before it could cause harm.
According to police, a man
described as an Arab bought
fruit at the stand and asked
the vendor, Avraham Yihya,
if he could leave his shopping
basket there. The man never
returned. At 8:30 p.m. when
he was closing the stand, the
owner's    son,    .Yitzhak,
noticed the basket and
discovered that the bread
was booby-trapped. Four
suspects were detained.
Last evening ^ a bomb
exploded in a house-near the
Church of the Nativity in
Bethlehem, some 10 miles
south of Jerusalem. No one
was hurt and there was no
damage. Police did not know
whether' terrorists were
involved. In an earlier in¬
cident yesterday an ex¬
plosion in Kfar Saba injured
an old man and caused shock
to two .children. The ex¬
plosive charge went off in a
garbage container near a
public bench in the township
several miles northeast of
Herzliya. :
The incident in Netanya
occurred, when two life¬
guards noticed that two well-
dressed Arabs were on 'the
beach carrying plastic bags
that seemed heavier than if
they had been filled with
swimming      togs.   . The
lifeguards ordered the men ,
to show then) the bags and
when they refused the'
guards overpowered the two
Arabs. Inside the bag they
found mortar shells with
activating' materials and
explosive devices connected
to a wristwatch, as well as
nails and metal pieces. The
two Arabs were turned over
to police and the bags were
placed in a hole in the sand lo
prevent casualties on the
crowded beach.
Meanwhile/Meir Norvik,
Israel's Deputy Commander
of Police, said he would not
call the recent acts of terror
"a new wave" of terrorism.
He admitted there was in
increase in the number of
incidentsafter a short period
of relative calm. He
discounted speculation that
the recent increase in
'sabotage acts resulted from
the policy of allowing
summer visitors from the
Arab countries into the
administered territories.
Novik said the police force
was being rearranged to
combat terrorism. He said
most of the police are now
engaged in security work.
But he stressed that the
major means of preventing
terrorism was public
alertness.
Israeli Team Leaving For
7th Asian Games In Tehran
by flasket Cohen,        "
JTA Sports Columnist
TEL AVIV, (JTA) - The
largest Israeli team ever to
participate jn international
sports left last week for
Teheran for participation in
the Seventh Asian Games
which will take place from
Sept. l to 16. While there is
no fear, there Is a bit of
apprehension concerning the
safety of the compettitors,
and the delegation, con¬
sequently, will include a
large number of security
people., The total number in
the Israeli party comes to 91
people. Yosef Inbar,
president of the Israeli
Olympic Committee, and
Haim Glovinsky, executive
secretary of the Committee,
left for Teheran last Friday
in order to finalize all
arrangements for the en¬
tertainment of the Israeli
contingent.
It is interesting to note that
among the 26 countries in¬
volved in the Games will be
four Arab states: Kuwait,
Saudi Arabia, Iraq and
Bahrein Samuel Lalkin, cjief
d'mission for the Israelis,
who was in Teheran a week
ago, indicated, "I do not
know if the Arabs will
compete against us, but
Israeli sportsmen will not
withdraw from any event
because Arab athletes are
lined up against them."
Lalkin indicated that the
facilities for the Games- are
among the finest in the
world, and the central
stadium will seat 100,000
spectators. Built, at a
phenomenal expense, the
' indoor\stadiuihs0 and ■
swimming pools are  air
conditioned.
So far as Israel's chances
are concerned, the in¬
dications here in Tel Aviv
are that the team will return
with several gold and silver
' medals. They are given a
good chance for the soccer
title, playing in the same
bracketjas South Korea and
the .Philippines. Israel's
premier long distance'
runner, Yuval Vishnitzer,'
had been performing ex¬
cellently in Sweden recently
