JERUSALEM (WNS)-Is-
rael came to a near standstill from sundown May 3
through May 4 as it marked
Yom Hashoah to commemorate the six million Jews
who perished in the Holocaust and to honor the Jewish resistance fighters. At a
memorial assembly at Yad
Vashem, Deputy Premier
Yigael Yadin declared that it
was not: enough for Israelis.
to remember the Holocaust
but to keep reminding the
world of it. t' We shall remind
the world that the battle with
the Nazi beast; is not yet
over," Yadin said. 'They
have been succeeded by neo-
Nazi groups and those who
call themselves national liberation groups ... We shall
not allow history to repeat itself." A small group of pickets demonstrated quietly
outside the West Germany
Embassy to protest what
they regard as a slackening
of action against Nazi war
criminals by the Bonn authorities and a seeming indifference toward' the revival of neo-Nazism and
anti-Semitism in West Germany. The only jarring incident was the attempted immolation by the artist Andre
Kielczinski, who has a long
record of violent demonstrations against West German
authorities over .delays in
prosecuting Nazi war criminals. He set himself on fire
outside the Embassy, but his
burns were slight.

NEW YORK, May 7
(JTA)—Sen. Frank Church
(D. Idaho) predicted today
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee would reject the
entire proposed $4.8 bilion
sale of jet warplanes to Israel, Saudi Arabia and
Egypt unless the Carter Administration provided Congress with "assurances," including either a reduction in
the number of planes going
to Saudi Arabia or an increase in those being sold to
Israel.
Church, the second rank-.
ing Democrat on the committee, also urged the Administration to avoid a
"showdown" in Congress
that would be harmful both
to the American national interests ^nd to the Middle
East peace hopes;
Appearing on CBS-TV's
"Face the Nation," Church
noted that Israel, which is to
get 15 F-15 fighters and 75 F-
16 fighter-bombers under the
Administration's proposal,
could be given .more planes
as originally recommended
by the-Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"I would prefer a reduction"
in the number of F-15s going
to Saudi Arabia, he said.
Church said there were
several other assurances
needed.- One of them was
that the Administration
would only supply defensive
ordnances to the Saudis such
as air-to-air missiles but no
air-to-ground • missiles,   he
said.
The Saudis must also
promise not to deploy the F-
15s at Tabuk, the new Saudi
airbase within range of Israel, or even make the base-
suitable for F-15S, Church
said. He said the planes
should be stationed only in
south and central Saudi
Arabia which would be sufficient to protect the Moslem
holy cities and the Oil fields.
Another promise Church
said he ■ wanted from the
Saudis is that if they get the *
F-15s they do not then also
buy Mirages from France or
planes from other countries;
S^udi Arabia "is the richest
country in the world,"
Church noted, and they can
buy all the planes they want
and pay for the pilots to. fly
them. He said Israel does hot
have this unlimited supply of
money. .-'■';

Leader Robert Byrd (D.
W.Va.) that there is "ample
support" in the full Senate to

House May 1 where President Carter hosted a reception in honor of Israel's 30th
'anniversary attended by
some 1000 American Jewish
community leaders, rabbis
and government officials
and clergymen of other
faiths. "We will never waver
from our deep friendship and
partnership with Israel and
our total, absolute commitment to Israel's security,"
Carter told the gathering.
"In the Jewish tradition, 30
stands for strength and Israel is strong," Carter said.
"There is a Jewish saying,
from strength-to-strength
and I hope Israel will indeed
develop from strength j to
strength." The reception followed a 30-minute meeting
between the two leaders in
the Oval Office. When Carter
and Begin emerged, on the
White House lawn, accompanied by their wives, the
guests sang "Havenu Shalom Aleichem" to them. "I
bring you good tidings, with
all my heart, thank God,"
Begin told the gathering.
