split between the two Communist
factions was dramatized in state-
ments. The Mikunis faction called
the Soviet action "a brutal inter-
vention in the affairs of a Social-
ist state." The New Communist
faction presented a spokesman in
a radio interview who said he was
"certain" that the Czech people
"welcomed" intervention which
he said had been undertaken "to
save them from counter-revolu-
tionary designs."

The Israel Writers Association,
which had been expecting a dele-
gation of Czech writers for a visit
in October, cabled a message of
solidarity to its colleagues, though
an association spokesman ex-
pressed doubt that the cable would
reach its destination. The message
said in part, "We, the sons of a
nation that knew only too well per-
secution and suffering, understand
your hour of trial and believe in
the victory of the spirit, freedom
and liberty." The whereabouts of
the , liberal Czech writer, Ladislav
Mnacko, were unknown. Mrs.
Mnacko, who is in Israel, said her
husband was to join her here,
planning to leave Prague a day or
two before the invasion. Mnacko
gained prominence through his
self-imposed exile in Israel to pro-
test Prague's anti-Israel stand
after the Six-Day War. M r s.
Mnacko joined other Czech citizens
at Kibutz Shomrat.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — East
German and Polish newspapers
this week that "Zion-
that

slovakia's Socialist regime may
have taken their cue from the So-
viet government newspaper Izves-

tia, a diplomat specializing in East-
ern European affairs said here.
The Aug. 23 issue of Izvestia
contained an article from Prague
entitled "How the Counter-Revolu-
tionary Underground Was Being
Created in Czechoslovakia" which
said Joint Distribution Committee
agents were part of a "Club of
Non-Party Activists."
The article, written by V. Rud-
niev and subtitled "Who Is Hiding
Under the Nameplates of Various
Political Clubs," said there were
two counter-revolutionary clubs ac-
tive in the Czech capital city. One
he claimed, was the "Club of 231"
which allegedly had links with the
United States Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA), British Intelligence
and Nazi generals. The other was
the "Club of Non-Party Activists"
which the writer singled out as al-
legedly having three leaders who
are members of the "International
Zionist Organization—Joint" (ab-
breviation for Joint Distribution
Committee)."
"When the hard-liners in Warsaw
and East Berlin saw this they im-
mediately took up the line. Like
dogs, one barks and they all bark,"
the diplomat here said.
Meanwhile, news media in Cairo
have taken a cue from Polish and
East German commentators and
are blaming alleged "Zionist" ma-
chinations in Czechoslovakia for
the Soviet-led invasion and occu-
pation of that country.
A Cairo radio broadcast said that
"had it not been for the dangerous
and destructive role played in re-
cent months by counter-revolution-
aries led by world Zionism, mat-
ters would not have developed to
such a serious point." The broad-
cast singled out Czech Deputy Pre-
mier Cestmir Cisar, who is of Jew-
ish origin, as a "leader of the fana-
tical Zionists."
The Daily Telegraph said in a
dispatch from Beirut Wednesday
that Arab reaction to the invasion
of Czechoslovakia has been strong-
ly conditioned by the Arabs' sense
of obligation to Russia for support-
ing them against Israel. Neverthe-
less, "The Russian image so as-
siduously cultivated as part of
Moscow's diplomatic offensive in
the region, has suffered great' dam-
age." The paper noted that the
only governments that have direct-
ly defended Moscow's actions are
the pro-Russian regimes on Iraq,
Syria, Algeria and Southern
Yemen.
Another newspaper, the Sun,
warned Wednesday that the Rus-
sians, having fortified what they
saw to be a weak link in their
European defenses, may turn with
renewed vigor to their military ex-
pansion in and around the Medi-
terranean. According to the Sun, it
is there, rather than in Germany,
that Britain may be called on to
contribute more to NATO defenses.
Israel to Cut Subsidies
to Textile Firms ; Export
Industries to Get Aid
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM — The ministry
of commerce and industry an-
nounced Monday that it would cut
government subsidies to the tex-
tile and related industries so that
additional manpower would be-
come available to more competi-
tive export industries. The an-
nouncement said that protective
tariffs on some textile items be
reduced by 10 to 30 per cent be-
ginning next January.
The move reflected the resur-
gence of employment opportuni-
ties in Israel since the Six-Day
War which has created a serious
manpower shortage. It is expect-
ed that workers now employed in
the textile industry will be re-
trained for jobs in electronics and
fertilizer plants that can compete
on the international market with
little or no subsidies. Prior to the
war when serious unemployment
existed, the textile industry was
a major source of jobs and war-
ranted government protection as
did a number of other Israeli in-
dustries which otherwise could
not maintain favorable prices in
face of foreign competition.
The reduction of tariffs was ex-
pected to force textile manufac-
turers to introduce greater auto-
mation to increase output. The
measure does not effect the manu-
facture of fashionable clothing and
beach-wear, a branch in which
Israel can hold its own abroad
in quality and styling.
