JERUSALEM (JTA) - Premier Yitzhak Shamir, defending Israel's role in the U.S. arms shipments to Iran, said last week that "if there had not been any leaks" Israeli soldiers held prisoner in Lebanon would have been released as part of the deal. Shamir, addressing a meeting of the Likud Knesset- faction, said that because ithe arms deal "exploded" into worldwide attention, the soldiers were not freed. He gave no details, but he may have been referring to two Israel Defense Force soldiers captured last February in the south Lebanon security zone. They are believed to be in the Christopher Sykes Dead At Age 79 LONDON, (JTA) - Christopher Sykes, author and historian, died last week at age 79. The son of Sir Mark Sykes; who play«d a key role in promoting and issuing the Balfour Declaration, Christopher Sykes wrote extensively on Zionism and the rise of Israel. Crossroads to Israel (1965) remains a standard work on the Arab-Israeli conflict, reflecting the author's intimate knowledge of Zionist affairs. He also wrote the definitive biography of Gen. Orde Wingate, the pro-Zionist British officer, whom he greatly admired. In Two Studies in Virtue (1953), he portrayed the career of his father, assistant secretary to the War Cabinet, who died at a tragically young age shortly after World War I. hands of Hezbullah, the pro- Iran Shiite extremist group. Shamir justified Israel's assistance to the U.S. in its attempts to trade arms for hostages. "We could have live on Olympus, detached, neutral and indifferent. But we must live in the area, buy friends, work with friends and cooperate with them when it serves the interests of Israel," he said. . Israel's conscience is entirely clear in this matter, Shamir said, noting that had the soldiers been released "everyone would have praised" the exchange. As it is, he said, he was not worried about Israel's regard in the U.S. He said he has met with several influential "people who came from the U.S." in recent days and all of them "told us Israel is not being attacked and not being accused in this affair." Many in the, U.S. appreciate Israel's role, Shamir said.

From 8 p.m. Christmas Eve until dawn on Christmas Day, upwards of 100 lodge members will deliver food to 21 local police agencies with some 'members riding in cruisers with the officers to keep them company throughout the evening. What began in 1972 when a group of Jewish men decided to drop off baked goods to officers at three east side police stations has blossomed into a program that finds over 1200 officers enjoying over 400 pounds of meat and cheese during a period when even fast food franchises lock their <Joors. While some private (donations are received to carry out "Feed the Police," the bulk of the cost is included in the annual budgets of both Maccabee and Zion Lodges, fan Wednesday, Dec. 24, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., food trays will be prepared at the Western Sizzlin Steak House at 376 S.
