Soviet SAM TEL AVIV (JTA)-Israel's Chief of Staff, Gen. Halm Bar Lev, disclosed that at least two Soviet SAM-3 missiles have been fired at Israeli aircraft over the Suez Canal zone in recent days. He reported that the Egyptians and Russians were inching their missile bases ever closer to the canal zone and that Israeli jets have been attacking those bases and have destroyed, five of them. Three Israeli jets were lost in the attacks solar. Gen. Bar Lev made his dramatic disclosures ' at a press conference here. He said that the first
SAM-3 missiles known to have been fired in combat were reported by Israeli pilots returning from one of their daily sorties. He did not indicate whether any of the Israeli planes were hit. But he disclosed that t h e / t h r e e , Israeli jets downed last week were hit by SAM-2s, missiles that had hitherto been ineffective against low flying aircraft. Gen. Bar Lev said that the Egyptians, aided; by. the Russians, have succeeded in moving a dozen or more ground-to-air missile bases within range of Israeli jets flying missions over the canal zone. He said the missiles were mainly
SAM-2s but were supported by at least two batteries of SAM-3s manned exclusively by Soviet personnel. The Egyptians are m a n n i n g the. SAM-2s, Gen. Bar Lev said, but with Russian advisors who are "more than advisors." He said, "We feel the Russian hand in almost: every field of planning, operating and directing; the SAM-2 missiles. According to Gen. Bar Lev, the missiles are now deployed within a rectangular area the eastern line of which is located 15-20' p*''">s west of the Suez Canal and its western' midway between the canal.and Cairo.

UAHC President Urges 'Synagogue Experimentation1 Amsterdam, Holland (JTA)— The non-violent rebellion of youth all over the world agalns"t "widespread corruption, bigotry and violence" is a reflection of social values which derive from the Hebrew p r o p h e t s , Rabbi Maurice N. Elsendrath, president of the Union of American H e b r e w Congregations (UAHC), told 400 Reform Jew-ish leaders from all parts of the world meeting here at the 16th International nal Conference of tho World Union for Progressive Judaism. The, future of the synagogue will depend upon whether or not "our Reform Jewish Establishment will tolerate experimen-
tation, exploration and innovation by radical Jewish students," Rabbi Eisendrath said. But there may be.no future for the synagogue, he added, unless we permit such "free lance,, freelwheeling Judaism in act i o n . " . - - , -. • _;' The rabbi also criticized those* rabbinic colleagues and Jewish s laymen who believe that the State of Israel is the.only center" of Jewish life today. He said that Jewish life has always had more than one center of focus, and contended that both Israel and the diaspora are essential to the survival of Judaism today.
