Speaking at a press conference at the Israel UN Mission, Blum claimed that "the erosion" was reflected not only in the anti-Israeli votes but also in the various speeches and debates held during the Assembly's session. "The erosion (in Israel's standing at the UN) was especially noticeable with Latin American countries," Blum said. He noted that Latin American countries that traditionally voted with Israel, or at least abstained on anti-Israeli resolutions, supported anti-Israeli measures. This pattern was clearly reflected when only three Latin American countries voted against the inclusion of Zionism - which is identified by the UN as "racism" -- in the recent resolution on "hegemonism," the Israeli envoy said. Blum also said that "it is hard to on Halachic express our opposition to the or- dination of women by the Jewish Theological Seminary at this time. We call on the Seminary to assure our continuation as a movement committed to halacha and halachic process." On Nov. 6, the 16 faculty members considered to be halachists sent a letter to Cohen informing him that they believed that the JTS Senate, the academic policy making body of the Seminary, "as presently con- stituted," is "not the proper forum for deciding fundamental Seminary policy."

El Hayek noted that "President Elias Sarkis of Lebanon finally broke his long silence about the Palestinian encroachment on Lebanese sovereignty and demanded at the meeting of the Arab heads of state ...that they with- draw from south Lebanon and stop launching attacks on Israel, or claiming responsibility for terrorist acts inside Israel." According to El Hayek, "this request could not have been made at a worse time.

French official sources said that both these countries are expected to buy ad- ditional planes and electronic equipment in France in order to further modernize their air forces. SUDAN CONSIDERS BREAK WITH EGYPT WASHINGTON The Sudan may consider discontinuing full diplo- matic relations with Egypt and may back out of projects to integrate the two economies if Egypt and Israel exchange ambassadors as sched- uled. The uneasiness over its relations with Egypt is prompted by Sudan's economic difficulties and pressure from the other Arab League coun- tries to break ties with Egypt in return for oil and financial assist- ance from Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf nations. FINDLEY CALLS FOR U.S.-ISRAEL MANEUVERS WASHINGTON-Rep. Paul Find- ley (R.-Ill.) has urged the U.S. to cooperate with an Israeli proposal to undertake joint U.S.-Israel naval maneuvers. These maneuvers would enhance U.S. naval capabilities and resources in the Mideast, he said in a letter to Defense Secretary Harold Brown. Findley, a frequent critic of Israeli policies, countered arguments that a policy of American evenhandedness should mean that the U.S. can only proceed in the region as part of a trio with Egypt and Israel. It is "import- ant for the U.S. to recognize the strategic importance of Israel and its willingness to play a role in increasing Western deterrence and defense," Findley stated. BEGIN WARY OF IRANIANS IN LEBANON JERUSALEM, (JTA)-Israeli reaction to the possibility of Iranian volunteers deployed in south Lebanon remained low-key but wary.

Israel, Begin said, was watching carefully and would be prepared for any eventuality.

The suspects, mainly from Nablus and Ramallah, were apprehended with large quanti- ties of firearms, some of it American-made and apparently smuggled from Jordan. According to the security sources, members of the gang were responsible for the assas- sinations of at least three Arabs for allegedly collaborating with Israelis and attempts on the lives of others. They are also accused of having fired on Israeli military vehicles on West Bank roads and with at- tempting to draw Israeli forces into direct combat. The gang, described as one of the "most dangerous" terrorist groups to be uncovered in recent months, is also believed to have been trying to set up new El Fatah cells in the Judaea and Samaria districts of the West Bank.
