Brown Says U.S
To Consider
Military Force
In Mid East
WASHINGTON (JTA)-
Defense Secretary Harold
Brown said today that the
"protection of,the oil flow
from the Middle East is
clearly a part of our vital interest" and "in protection of
' those vital interests we will
take any action that is appropriate, including military
force." He said the United
States would follow the same
policy if any Middle Eastern
country was threatened by a
major power beyond its borders.
Brown made those statements on the CBS-TV pro-
j.jgram "Face The Nation"
tewhen he was asked if the
JMJ.S. would go to war to pro-
tJTect the Saudi Arabian oil-
2 fields. (Sen. Henry Jackson
jj* (D. Wash.) offered a similar
j^view today.)"*
Referring to his recent ll-
day visit to Saudi Arabia,
Jordan, Israel and Egypt,
the Defense Secretary said
he found the major concern
in those countries was possible threats from dutsi_e'
" their borders. He.said the
U.S. has begun to discuss a
more active presence in the,.
Middle East with various nations in the area.
According   to   Brown,
"Less intrusive and less obvious forms of U.S. presence ,

right way__ to begin such activities and I think they may
be as far as we want to go."
With respect to the new regime in Iran, Brown said he
had the impression that the
government appointed by
the Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khoumeini was not interested in forming alliances
with any major power at this
point. "I believe we can
work out friendly relations."

"Briefings on the balance of
military forces in the Middle
East indicate that both the
Arab states and Israel are
better armed than before the
Yom Kippur War." But "the
balance leans heavily in
favor of the Arab states," according to an article in the
current issiue of "NATO's 15
Nations,", a privately published bi-monthly magazine
that specializes in discussions of armaments.
. "NATO's 15 Nations" describes itself as an "independent review of economic,
political and military
power." Its editorial network is led by the Monch
Publishing Group whose
executive office is in Bonn,
West Germany. Jupp Monch
is president. '
It issues magazines
mainly in German and English but' also publishes a
quarterly in Spanish and
Portuguese. Johannes Stein-
hoof," a.retired German.Air
Force" general, is chairman
of the editorial board. Its editorial director is Sir John
Baracloueh, RAF retired, a
former British Air Marshal.
Israel is listed, among the
scores of countries where the
magazine has offices. sThe
address there is the Marketing Systems Developing Co.
in Tel Aviv.
Israel Impatient
With Its Friends
According to the article,
the Arab preponderance in
weaponry is "offset only' by_
-widely reported rumors that
Israel for some time now has
a nuclear capability and the
determination to use it if
necessary." Another point
made in the article, bylined
Bonner H. Day, is that Israelis feel "that the Arabs,
the Soviet Union and even
the U.S. are taking actions
