Arabs question motive of U S veto on Israel
The United States vetoed a Security Council resolution criticizing Israel's control of occupied Arab lands, prompting Arab charges of election year influence. Amb.

Revenue sharing renewal faces uncertain path in Congress
Observers expect General Revenue Sharing to be extended by the 94th Congress though action remains murky with 45 bills introduced before December 31. The House Government Operations Committee, led by Rep. Jack Brooks, may rewrite or delay the measure, while Rep. James Jeffords urges speed to aid Vermont communities budgeting for 1977. The new Budget and Impoundment Act adds delay, with final allocations not set until September and potential conflicts between urban needs and rural representation in the Senate.
