Raskas (A Seven Arts Feature) The term Rosh Hashanah, literally "Head" (or beginning of the year), is found once throughout the Bible (Ezekiel 40; 1) and even there it does' not appear to refer to the first day of the year. In the Bible it is described as Yom Teruah"a day of blowing the horn." This is the basic reason that we sound the shofar on this day. The designation commonly used is clearly enunciated in Mishna: "The first ■. day of Tishrai is Rosh Hashanah (New Year) for (he reckoning of years. By tradition Rosh Hashanah symbolizes creation and becomes the-"birthday of the world" as well as the "birthday"' of human beings. Unlike the New Year cele- .brations. of most peoples, characterized by revelry - and hilarity, Rosh Hashanah is observed with a solemnity that is marked by prayer, contemplation and self- searching. Often the question is raised, if the. earth is more than four billion years old why, then, is Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the Jewish New Year, referred to as the day when the world was created. Since the Jewish calendar is less than 5800 years old, the explanation is that Jews celebrate on Rosh Hashanah the time when recorded his- (CONTINUED ON PAGE V) WASHINGTON (JTA)—Secretary of State Alexander Haig rejected last week a compromise proposal by Sen. John Glenn (D. Ohio) that the u-s- and Saudi Arabia share "joint" ownership and control of the five AWACS reconnaissance planes the Reagan Administration proposes to sell to the Saudis. Haig, testifying before the Senate. Foreign Relations Committee, said the , $8.5 billion arms package which includes the AWACS, Sidewinder missiles and enhancement equipment for Saudi Arabia's 62 F-15 fighter-bombers, was worked out after long negotiations by both ' the Carter and Reagan Administrations and represents "the optimum arrangement." - Expressing confidence that the Senate will not reject u:° proposal, Haig said -he believed the secret transfer arrangements 'worked out will meei the concerns of the Senators.-He said Administration officials will be discussing these proposals privately with each Senator. But Haig warned the committee that what is" at "stake" in the Senate's vote on the proposal is "this nation's capability to. develop a strategy" that will ' advance Middle East peace and meet the threats to the region from the Soviet Union and its surrogates. He warned the Senators against rejecting the foreign policy of "an American* President." Haig's appearance before the committee was on the Middle East situation in "general but his prepared .statement and the questions put to him by the Senators dealt mainly with the AWACS issue. Sen. Charles Percy (R. 111..), chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said a hearing* devoted specially to the Administration's' arms sale' package would be scheduled for later this month. Meanwhile, the Senators will be ableLio inspect an AWACS aircraft at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington this week. Glenn told Haig that if he approved the compromise the Ohio legislator suggested, "I think you can sell this on the Senate floor in 10 minutes." He also said he believes Israel would be satisfied, with such a compromise. Sen. Rudy Bosch- witz (R. Minn.) agreed with Glenn on that. But -Glenn warned that if the Administration proceeds with the \ saleas now proposed, it risks a "diplomatic Dunkirk." He said this would harm chances for peace- ih the Middle East because he believes the' Saudis can help advance the peace process. When Sen. Larry Pressler (R. S.D.) asked if theAd: ministration would change' its proposal if it saw that it would be defeated in the. Senate, he was told by Haig, "That's not a bridge we anticipate we'll have to cross." Glenn told reporters later that he believes the Administration will consider his compromise inasmuch as there are already some 51 votes in the chamber against the proposed sale. Glenn told Haig. during the hearing, that he opposed selling AWACS to any other country, including America's NATO allies. _ He also said the AWACS that would be sold to-the Saudis are ' "down-rated" • and could easily be jammed. He said that in urging joint control of the surveillance .aircraft, he would also propose that the U.S. cut their price to the Saudis by half.
