JERUSALEM—Israel's Knes-
set Wednesday condemned the
strike of 6,000 engineers. chem-
ists, architects and agronomists
. employed by public institutions,
backed the government's non-
compromise policy in regard to
the strikers, voted against the
strikers being paid their salaries
during their period of idleness,
and called upon them to return
to work immediately.
The vote in the Knesset was
53 to 28 in favor of the blow
against the engineers' union,
whose strike entered its third
week Wednesday.
The Knesset resolution also
warned that, if the strikers fail
to return to work,. they would
face a declaration of "emer-
gency." Under a state of emer-
gency, the strikers could be
assigned to any job prescribed
by government regulations.
About 15,000 professionals
—high school teachers, labo-
ratory scientists and techni-
cians, and many other Israelis
belonging to the academic
professions — carried out a
one-clay strike Tuesday in

support of the 6,000
ek i ng
engineers employed
public
institutions.
The engineers'
ike was in
its 12th day Tue ay.
Israel's sec o a r y schools
were closed d n when the
teachers walke out in solidari-
ty with the en eers and many

physical and
emical labora-
tories were sh
for lack of
staff. While His
t had •-
quested its members o ignore
the solidarity strike call, small
numbers of academic personnel
and other professiorials had re-
ported Tuesday.
The striking engineers had
already been backed by phy-
sicians who a week ago ob-
served a four-hour work stop-
page in their support.
Levi Eshkol, Israel's Finance
Minister, returned to Israel af-
ter an absence of almost a
month in the United .States and
Europe, and is expected to try
immediately to find a solution
to the dispute between the pub-
lic institutions and the striking
engineers. Prof. D. Ginsburg of
the Technion was attempting to
mediate the dispute between

Alfred Michaels, executive
director, announced that the
campaign is ahead of last year,
both in cards covered and cash

over-optimism as the next few
weeks will be crucial to the
success of the campaign.
Morris Lieberman, chairman
of the campaign, urged all vol-
unteer workers to turn in their
cards promptly, and to make
this the shortest campaign.
Principal speaker at the
breakfast meeting was Dr. Noah
Lucatz, author and expert on
the Histadrut in Israel, who
compared Israel with some of
the nations which received
their independence in recent,
years and whose representatives
have come to Israel in search
of new methods to benefit their
own countries and bring about
the miracles which they ob-
served in Israel.
The concept of mutual aid,
not total equality, is what made
the Histadrut such an import-
ant factor in Israeli life today,
he stated. "Histadrut is unique
as a school for democratic .liv-
ing," Lucatz said. He traced
the process of integration
which the typical new immi-
grant family must go through
to become an important factor
in Israel's economy. The typical
immigrant has never in his life

As the strike continued, the
gap between public manage-

Prime • Minister David Ben-
Gurion led the critics. He told
Israel's parliament that the gov-

The effect of the strike of

by many in Israel. The strikers

a split in the ranks of the union
as to how much to accept in

in the union insists on a 16.5,

group, composed of members
of tht, Mapai and Liberal par-
ties, is willing to settle for a
