...trade capital support for the support of those in the Capitol, the outlook for the passage of Ford's economic package is not bright. Republican Congressman Barber Conable, a former Harvard Institute of Politics Fellow, has expressed dissatisfaction with the Ford proposals, and House Ways and Means Chairman Al Ullman has predicted that Congress will not accept Ford's regressive fuel tax plan as is. Nor have the people shown any inclination to accept the image of Ford as a kindly Santa Claus, dispensing gifts to his little children. In a study conducted by the Gallup organization for Newsweek, only...

Mills announced his intention to take his seat in Congress next week, and pledged full support to Oregon's Al Ullman, the new Ways and Means chairman. Most of Mills' committee colleagues welcomed his return. "He's still the most knowledgeable tax man on the committee," said Illinois Democrat Daniel Rostenkowski. "If he can really lick this thing, he can be one of the most effective members of the committee. It'll be like Socrates having the students sitting at his feet while he passes out tips on taxes." But not unless Mills steers completely clear...

Should Washington and Jerusalem negotiate a treaty that would formally guarantee Israel's survival in case of war? Writing in the current issue of Foreign Affairs, Richard Ullman, a professor of international affairs at Princeton and a former member of the National Security Council under Lyndon Johnson, answers yes. His reasoning: "The risks of a war have been substantially increased" by such recent developments as the recognition of the P.L.O. "as a leading formal actor" in Middle East affairs and the shift in the economic balance of power away from Israel toward the Arabs...

...treaty-so Ullman's argument goes-would be an "absolutely unambiguous American commitment" and should make the Israelis feel secure enough to return most of the Arab territory they have occupied since the 1967 war. Moreover, there would be much less risk that the Arabs would underestimate the U.S. commitment to Israel. Some political experts stress that in a diplomatic situation as difficult as that in the Middle East now, a treaty might be useful. "The only effective and tested form of guarantee is an alliance," declared Oxford Professor Alastair Buchan in last year's Reith Lectures...

Although the treaty need not require it, Ullman suggests stationing U.S. troops in Israel as part of an alliance. Positioned along the Arab-Israeli borders, the G.I.s might help deter attacks as effectively as they have in South Korea, West Berlin and West Germany. There they act as "trip wires"-their vulnerability serving to convince any potential aggressor of the near impossibility of striking without taking some American lives and thus presumably drawing the U.S. into...
