And since it's documented that 137 and 138 use UDP and 139 uses TCP, you 
could save *4* more characters with:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m udp -p udp --dport 137:138 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT

Even if you want to leave the "-m state --state NEW" on the tcp-139 
line, I'd leave it off of the udp on general principles, and because I 
know it works that way.
