TEL AVIV [JTA] -
Some 10,000 officers and men of the U.S. Sixth Fleet will spend a week to 10 days in Israel next month when the giant air-craft carrier John; F. Kennedy and a flotilla of escorts cfdls at Haifa on a goodwill visit. The visit Is described as the biggest to. date by the U.S. Navy to Israel and Is seen here as having political and mlll-^ taiy Implications.
While the American embassy declined to comment, it was learned that the visit may be connected with Carter administration plans to bring Israel more -closely Into the strategic picture In the eastern Mediterranean.
Critics of Carter have suggested that the U-S. was putting too much stress on its new. mllltaiy relations with Egypt and , leaving Israel on the sidelines. The call by the huge carrier, scheduled for mid-October, may help dispel that view.
The 80,000 ton JFK wiO be accompanied by three
other combat vesselsanda Navy supply ship. The latter will load fresh produce whUe at Haifa.
The Sixth Fleet has ijeen purchasbig supplies hi Israel for the past year.
