Basic Wages Until 1970
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
TEL AVIV—A pledge that there
will be no demands for an increase
in basic wages in any branch of
Israel's economy until 1970 was
made here by the trade union
department of Histadrut, Israel's
labor federation, in a resolution
adopted Tuesday night.
The pledge is intended to help
stabilize the nation's economy in
the wake of last month's devalua-
tion of the Israel pound, but is
contingent on the finance min-
ister's promise that there will be
no increase in the prices of essen-

LONDON (JTA) — Liberal
parties and liberal political leaders
in all countries were urged to sup-
port Israel's stand for direct nego-
tiations with the Arabs as the only
way to achieve peace in the Mid-
dle East.
The call was issued by E. H.
Toxopeus of Holland, chairman of
the executive of the Liberal Inter-
national, following an address to
that body by Joseph Saphir, min-
ister without portfolio in Israel's
Cabinet, representing t h e Israel
Liberal Party. Toxopeus warned
that without direct negotiations
leading to a settlement, the situa-
tion in the Middle East would
worsen.
