has submitted its report to the
Israeli Cabinet.
The committee, under the
chairmanship of Judge Isaac 01-
shan, blames the deterioration
in Jerusalem's situation on the
"abnormal rise • in prices, the
high cost of living index which
made it impossible for the mu-
nicipality to balance its budget
without sharply increasing taxes'.
and on the "city's geographical
situation."
Population Doubled
The committee also urged that
the mayor be elected directly,
and not by the municipal coun-
cil, and that he be prohibited
from carrying out administra-
tive or executive functions."
Furthermore, it was recom-
mended that 11 members be
elected to the city council and
three appointed by the Israel
government. The city's admin-
istrative tasks should be fulfilled
by a specially-appointed "city
manager," the report urged.

Before every holiday, unethical solicitors invade Jewish
communities to capitalize on Jewish sacred events and to
solicit advertising and subscriptions for racketeering pro-
jects,
These tactics again are in evidence in Detroit and in
other Michigan communities.
The American Association of English-Jewish News-
papers consistently condemns these racketeering tactics and
calls upon Jewish communities throughout the land to be on
guard against the solicitors who are seeking funds in areas
where they have no circulations.
The Jewish News joins in warning our communities to
be on guard against these racketeering solicitors, to report
them to their business bureaus and to refuse to encourage
them either with advertising or subscriptions.
