Rostow, wtese official titte ia Under Secretary far Political AffiOrs, talked about tte State Department's relationship wtth Jewis and Israel in an exdusiVe Olflo. Jewish Chronicle interviwr.
THE Undersecretary and Us equally important bro¬ ther, Walt Whitman Rostow, were raised by Russian inmdgr^nt parents. Altte not -particularly religious, they let ttelr sons know In no uncertain terms tbat they were Jewish.
Many American Jews share a tellef today that diplomats toldiie; downMU-
dle Eastern desks in tte State Department bold defi¬ nite ~'pn} Arab attitudes. Eu- getlB' Rostow says ttnre is no foundation for Americans to believe such a myth.
"I DON'T imean to say," Rostow toU me, "that witti-. in a given country pemde dont become identified with it. They do. We caUttiatdis- ease loealitise.' We try to protect tiie^ wtole system against tte disease and each individual in flie department trys to protect'biniself against it. In my enQPerience witti tte Middle Eastern ex¬ perts, tte chaige -of pro Arab Mas is without found¬ ation,"
Rostow went on to say ttet ttiis country's policy is "not pro Israel or pro Arab. It's pro United States." Tte Number Three ranking offi-

m tte course ef our con¬ versation, Rostow quickly tackled myth number two. I asked, "Is tte United States generally more responsive to Israel tecause there are more Jews than Arabs who Uve and vote here?"   .
ROSTOW respraded, "I don't tidnk ttiaf/9 true. I know it's often said, espe-
