Ask B-G to Intervene
in Salary Dispute
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The cen-
tral committee of the Israel
Medical Association has ap-
pealed to Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion to intervene in the
salaried physicians' struggle
for better conditions. In a com-
munique issued here, the cen-
tral committee stated that its
request followed Kupat Holim's
refusal to discuss the salaries
of physicians in its clinics.
Suggestions to "correct grad-
ing anomalies among publicly
employed engineers" without
raising their basic salaries were
presented to the Histadrut cen-
tral committee. The proposals
were submitted by Simha
Blass, head of the Histadrut's
professional employes depart-
ment. He advocated a tax re-
duction for publicly employed
engineers as well as an in-
crease of the tax free mini-
mum.
Achdut Avodah and Mapam
were pressing for a general
wage rise, while Mapai repre-
sentatives in Histadrut favor
Blass' plan.

tural Association of the Jews

gesting the WJC urged all its
affiliated organizations "to

trality" by Israel in the East-

Through the use of invest-
ment capital derived from
State of Israel Bonds, which
expand every facet of her
economic development, Israel
has strengthened her trade
relations with many nations
of the free world. Israel re-
cently entered into a part-
nership with the govern-
ment of Ghana, with the for-
mation of a jointly - owned
shipping concern, called the
Black Star Line. To com-
memorate the inauguration
of the shipping company,
Ghana this week announced
the issuance of a set of
stamps in the following col-
ors and denominations:
green, 21/2 - pence; blue, 1
shilling, threepence; and lav-
ender, 5 shillings. Shown
above is the 5-shilling stamp,
which depicts a modern cargo
vessel, together with a flying
fish within a shield topped
by a black star. The stamps
were printed in Israel and
designed by Willie W. Wind,
leading Israeli artist and
stamp designer.
Soviet Jews Seek Books,
Scrolls from Israel Rabbis
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Chief Rabbinate of Israel an-
nounced that it has received
numerous requests from the So-
viet Union for prayer books and
Torah scrolls. Among the most
recent requests received by
Askenazi Chief Rabbi Isaac Her-
zog was one from a rabbi in a
Soviet Asian city who wanted a
Sephardic prayer book.
Chief Rabbi Herzog indicated
that the prayer book recently
published in Moscow is not ac-
ceptable to the Sephardic Jews
in the Soviet Union since it fol-
lows the Ashkenazi tradition
usually used by Jews in East-
ern Europe,
