Pope Asks for Guarantees ROME. (JTA) - Pope Paul VI has apparently dropped the Vatican's long-held demand tlut Jerusalem be internationalized and instead is asking for international guarantees of the rights of Christians and Moslems in Uie ancient city. The Pope reportedly made his request during a 70-minute meeting he had with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger at the Vatican in which the Pope was briefed on the AmericanSoviet summit talks In Moscow and the Middle East situation. According to Vatican sources, the Pope stressed to Kissinger that Jerusslem represented supreme vslues for Judaism, Christianity and Islam and that this must be taken Into account In the future status of the city. The Pope reportedly indlcsted thst the Vatican Is no longer insisting that the city be a aeparate entity from Israel, Jordan or any Palestinian state that may be created on Iho Wast bank but that it was not enough for Israel alone to guarantee that all faiths have aocass to the holy placoa.
Shami, Nahariya, Maalot and Kiryat Sbemona, have created massive needs for funds to provide for the human needs of the people of Israel.

costs ISZS.OOO. The air defenses also have the Vulcan anti-aircraft gun designed for defense against low flying planes. The six barrels fire 3,000 20 mm. shells per minute at a maximum altitude of 2,000 meters. Peled disclosed that both weapons were used during the recent war of attrition on the Syrian front. Peled also said the Russians have supplied Syria with their newest and most sophisticated war plane, the HIG-23 and that Syrian piklU have already been trained to fly them. Israel has no aircraft to match the HIG-23, reputedly the world's fastest and highest flying combat aircraft. But according to Peled, Israeli piloU in their planes are still superior to Syrian pUoU in MIG-23s. He admitted, nevertheless, that the gap in Israel's air auperlority has been dangeroualy narrowed. The American answer to the MIG-23 is the F-14 and FVL, a multi-purpose fighter that Israel is interested in purchaaing, Peled said. He saM, however, that Israel is also considering the new American UF-16 and UF-17 which he deacribed as interceptors of great maneuverability that are leas expensive than the F-14 and F-IS. He said Israel's ultimate deciskm would be based on Its military and economic needs.

126 Stations Broadcast Anti-Semitic Programs NEW YORK, (JTA) "This U Uberty Lobby," a five-minute broadcast of "news" and commentary controlled by one of the most notorious professional antiSemites currently active In America, is being carried regularly by 126 stath>ns in 39 sUtes and the dUtrict of Columbia, a survey by tiie B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League discloaed. ' Lawrence Peirez, chairman of the ADL's national civil rights committee who made the survey public, identified Willis A Carlo, an "outspoken anti-Semite" who founded Liberty Lobby 16 years ago as a front for Jewbaiting and other racist propaganda as "the unpubliclzed force" iiehind the broadcasts. The program originated bi March, 1973 with only four stations, gathered 62 more outlets by Sept. and broke the lOl^tation mark a month later, according to John L.
(ioldwater, chairman of the ADL's national fact-finding committee which conducted the survey. As a result of a recent contract ilgned with the Mutual Broadcasting System. It will soon be available to Mutaal's netwoik of OMre than fM radio lUttons, the ADL reported. It is carried by most stalloos on a paid hash bat by seme as a "poMIc service." The nature of "This is Liberty Lobby" was indicated by its "daily attacks" on Israel and American Jews during and immediately following the Yom Kippur War last Oct. These attacks included descriptions of Israel by the program's commentator, Bob Bartell. as "a bastard state" and charges tiiat American Jews are subversive and disktyal. Goldwater questioned whether the managements and licensees of the stations carrying the program were
unaware of Its contents or "uncaring about their role In helping to peddle bigotry." Goldwater said that Carlo, 47, began to work as a "professional bigot and organizer" in 19M. He has served as a director of Ongress of Freedom, a rightwing racist organization and as an organizer for the farright John Birch Society. In 1966 he took over the once venerable "American Mercury" magazine and uaed its respected name for "a quarterly devoted largely to anti-Jewish hate." Carlo founded Liberty Lobby in Washington, D. C. in IIU as a money-raiser a'nd front for his "seamier operations," Gokhrater said. He IdenUfied Mr. and Mrs. BenJamin~D. Gilbert, the principal owners of the Mutual Broadcasting System, as heavy financial contributors of Liberty Lobby since 1966.
