this is the way it was 40 and 30
and 20 years ago:
SEPT. 5,1944

Crosby was killed in action in
Europe, his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. P.A. Dunks, are notified.
Lt. Dunks was a graduate of

While the struggle to form a new government plods
along in Israel, featuring Labor’s Shimon Peres and
Likud’s lame-duck Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, the
nation’s annual inflation rate is fast approaching 400
percent.
Political analysts have been trying to come up with a
reason for the fragmented vote in the Israeli election
that has so far prevented formation of a new govern-
ment because neither Labor nor Likud can get enough
support from other factions.
There are those who believe Israeli voters failed to
choose a direction for their country. Despite the
pressures of galloping inflation, division over the war in
Lebanon, retirement of Menachem Begin, and the
media’s plea for a Labor victory, voters refused to turn
back to Labor.

Exporting technology
The Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export
Controls (COCOM), whose aim is to prevent exports of
sensitive technology to the Soviet bloc, could take a
lesson in how to accomplish this from West Germany.
Strict export controls have been placed by the West
German government on equipment that could be

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 5,
the 249th day of 1984. There are
117 days left in the year.
Today’s highlight in history:
On Sept. 5. 1972, 11 Israeli
athletes and the five Arab ter-
rorists who had taken them
hostage were killed in a shootout
with police during the Munich
Olympics.

At a meeting last month, committee members reach-
ed no agreement on the guidelines and adjourned
without setting a date for another meeting. This means
the decision on technology shipments is up to individual
nations. Some of these may not be as vigilant as they
should in monitoring exports. The Soviet Union is coun-
ting on this happening.
