So. aOer laavbig my relatives In Tel Aviv, I pushed and shaved and piMded my way to the Slnal. Re-reading my letters now, I wonder what it was that kept me through that first honible week. Poaaibly It was the feeling that things Just had to get better because they couldn't get much wotM, or that I was Just too tired to run around and make my way back again. Whatever the reason, I was at Nevlot, a young settlement on the Red Sea next to the oasto Nuwelba, about W kilometers south of EUat. Sitting here now I can still smell the salty sea air, feel the hard, cold sunshine against my face, and the warmth of the sand against my bare feet.

Second, what happened to the Jewish singles that met at the Music Box or at the Blackstone just to be with their brothers and sisters? Today, they are strong leaders in our Omaha community, raising families, wanting their sons and daughters to be with other Jewish friends. Tradition and spirit is evident in the Junior and senior high school groups. 1 hope by this letter you, the single adult, will realize that the tradition of Judaism must be continued.

BIBUOGRAPHY The first comprehensive bibliography df all Arabic literature and other publications appearing In Israel from 1948-1972 has been published by Hebrew University.
'Arabs Seek to Rule World' (Continued from Page 11 the Arab would monopoly, this dependence of the West on Middle Eastern oil wUl prot>ably last for many years to conoe, possibly to the end of the century. This will give the Arab countries tremendous leverage and ample time and opportimlty to pursue their goab. It is estimated that the oU exporting countries and primarily the Arab states will amass supluses of between eo15 billion dollars per year. These accumulated surpluses will top the combined Western industrialized countries' current suuplus estimated at SZOO billion by 1975 By 1977 Western surpluses will all but disappear, or at tiest be in signtfficant In comparison to the huge Arab surpluses. Oontrolofthe wwid moiiey market will by then have pamed completely Into Arab hands. What makes this (laaaclal weapon more oolnMMi and daagenus la ibe fact that the Arab lulsrs wiaidhig (ban bogs sums of money are tatwpooiftle and unacooiBtaole to soyone. Never in the world's history have such huge sums of surplus money been at the disposal of ruthless and absoliile rulers. Some of the money wilt be used lo buy control of key htdustrles, financial Institutions, the media, as well as the allegiance and servkxs of politicians and other key people in the economy, the armed forces, public relatkms, news media, science and technology. Untold fortunes may be paid as bribes to ooilsborators, or alternatively to buy the services of Intimldators, blackmailers, terrorists and aasasalm. With firm bases In Arab countries, counties* agenu, limitless fhiaaces, nithlessness and rellgkMS fervor, the basis (or an International Mafialike organitatkm has already been setup. Financial, economic and political control is enabling the Arabs lo prevent the West from developing sitemative
sources of ener^ which may loosen tlK Arab strangletwld. The minister for oil in the United Arab Emirates In a statement made recently In Beirut, has frankly and inadvertently admitted to this element in Arab overall strategy. Geopolitical strategy, by uing the Arab control over a vast area between the Atlantic and (he Persian Gulf to cut off communication by land, sea (the Suez Canal) and air, enable the Arabs to bring pressure on any country that doesn't toe the Arab line. The use of the United Nations and other International bodies was made possible by the rapid succumbing of Third World nattons to the Arab use of the oil and financial weapons. It was further facilitated by the readiness of the_ Communist countries to support Arab dominatkm of international bodies as long as H was aimed against the Western countries.

The Aratw feel that time Is on their side and it is to be used judiciously. II takes time to get the worid used to Uie new situation. People are not apt to accept new masters overnight. Political and economic pressure Is to be aimed at those most amenable to accept the new leadership: this is twing successfully accomplished by "carrot and stick" policy among Third World countries, particularly in Africa and Asia. Japan and Western Europe may soon be getting a first taste of what is In store for them. It takes time to amass the fortunes needed to buy complete control over Western key Industries and finaiKlal Institutions. Secrecy, stealth and ImpenasptlMlity Mn other key worA In Arab overall strategy. Obvtously such a schema, If It were wklely known, would ba vobamcoUy oppoaed. the pny baa to be hdtod taito (alee aecwtty. Deoeptkia is to beeama ttio line art. Arab exceltaiee to tbis field has been damoalraiad at Ibe oulbreak ofttaYomK^ipurWar. Another key principle is corrdlnatlon. No weapon or means wielded by Itself can achieve results. Every move must be carefully coordinated with other moves. This is not easy to aetaieve, In view of the existing dlsamskw and enmity within the Arab camp; but paradoxically, even disunity among the Arabs may be turned Into a useful factor by presenting s falae picture of Arab incapability, thus lulling Ihe prey.
