TEL AVIV— (Special) —With
evidence that the number of im-
migrants to Israel now equals the
number being absorbed, the prob-
lem of Israeli immigration has
passed the stage of crisis and one
of the new State's chief worries
is reported waning.
At the same time, David Horo-
witz, director general of the fi-
nance ministry, announced that
Israel's economic expansion has
kept pace with the growth of
population and "our inflationary
problems are being solved."
80 PCT. HAVE JOBS
Dr. Israel Goldstein, treasurer
of the Jewish Agency, revealed
that 80 percent of the immigrants
had been given either full-time
or part-time jobs.
Nevertheless, 400 immigrants
and discharged soldiers clashed
with police before the Knesset
Monday demonstrating for ''bread
and work."
