PARIS (JTA) — The French evacuation of their base at Gabes, in southern Tunisia, has had a definitely adverse effect on the economic situation of the Tunisian Jews, it was reported here. The report said that most Jews have lost their sources of livelihood, and many of them have since left Tunisia for Is- rael. "The taking out of all per- sonal • belongings without pre- idous authority from the treas ury has been forbidden," the report stated. "Difficulties in the issuance of passports are also being made. "The economic situation of most Jews , in Tunisia is worsen- ing from day to day," the re- port continued, "due to the gen- eral decline in the economic sit u a t i o n. The government makes things even more diffi- cult by withholding permits, dismissing officials, and com- pelling Jewish employers to engage a majority of Moslem workers. "Any cultural activities out- side the community are forbid- den. As part of the policy of Tunisification and Arabization of the curricula, the headmas- ters of Jewish schools have been ordered to include as much as 15 hours a week of Arabic studies. "Thus the few hours of He- brew studies, which are formal- ly allowed, have now in fact been pushed out of the syllabus. A decree was issued two months ago forbidding private lessons without previous authorization. "The number of cases in which Jewish employes in local and foreign companies have been discharged and Arabs tak- en on in • their place has re- cently increased. Though Arab officials and workers are not with Israel's Premier David up to Jewish standard, this proc- Ben-Gurion over the statement ess is gaining momentum. As a by the latter that Israel aims result, a reduction - of Jewish to have 3,000,000 Jewish in- earnings is felt," the report habitants. In a broadcast which is transmitted over various stated. frequencies and in different languages, the Moscow radio terms this goal as "provocative and demagogic." The text of the broadcast, as monitored here, reads: JERUSALEM (JTA) — For "The Israeli press continues the first time since the Sinai to publish untrue reports con- campaign of 1956, Egypt has cerning a so-called mass Jew- stopped a non-Israel ship at- ish emigration from Eastern tempting to pass through the Europe to Israel.
