Israel Slashes
Food Prices
In Yeshivah Post Morgenthau
TEL AVIV — (WNS) — Food
prices in Israel have been cut by
an average of 10 percent as a re-
sult of a two months' austerity
j .)gram which has produced
substantial reductions in the
prices of basic commodities and
services, Dr. Dov Joseph, minister
of supply and rationing, an-
nounced.
Or. Joseph estimated that there
have been price reduction. in 600
to 700 commodities in connection
with the struggle against infla-
tion, Meals in restaurants now
cost 30 to 40 percent less and
hotel prices are 25 to 30 percent
lower, he said.
MORE REDUCTIONS
The government intends to re-
duce prices further and will
regulate every branch of the na-
tional economy except wages, he
revealed, expressing the hope
that labor unions would accept
wage reductions now that the
cost-of-living index has begun to
decline, though the government
would not force such wake re-
ductions upon the workers.
Mordecai Namir presented his
credentials in Moscow as the
new Israeli minister to the Soviet
Union.• Namir succeeds Mrs.
Golda Myerson, Israel's first en-
voy to Russia who Is now Israeli
minister of labor.
ISRAEL GRATEFUL
In accepting Namir's. creden-
tials President Nikolai Shvernik
of the U.S.S.R. said that the
Soviet government desires to see
relations between the Soviet
Union and Israel develop on a
basis of mutual friendship. Namir
in reply said that Israel is grate-
ful for the friendly attitude
take by the Soviet government
in the United Nations toward its
struggle for national independ-
ence.

`Forward' Editor
Is 89 Years Old
NEW YORK— (WNS) —Abra-
ham Callan, editor of the Jewish
Daily Forward, viewed with op-
timism the future of democracy
in Israel as he celebrated his
V9th birthday.
The noted writer commented
en the progress of the United
States since his arrival 67 years
ago and credited Franklin Roose-
velt with the progress of the
Jewish people in Israel.
The editor of the Forward fur-
ther said, "I have never been a
Zionist, always a Socialist But
all of us must support Israel
now. Zionists were not Socialists,
but the first government of the
new Zion is Socialist, and they
are establishing Socialism there.
So I guess I knew what I was
talking about on the east side in
the eighties."
JewiSh DP's Number

VIENNA—(WNS) --Only 7,600

main in Austrian DP camps as a
result of the emigration of two-

the American zone, about 100 in
the French zone and close to
3,000 in Vienna. About 80 per-
cent of the displaced persons have
gone or have registered their in-
tention to go to Israel.
