Mapam Boycotts Coalition Policy Talks TEL AVIV (JTA) — The five , parties in the outgoing national ; coalition government met for five hours Monday night to try to ham- mer out a common policy on for- eign and domestic issues that will guide the new coalition whenever it is formed. They spent about half the titre arguing over procedure. But no changes were proposed in the pre- sent coalition platform dealing with foreign affairs and security. The interparty talks were boy cotted by Mapam, the junior part- ner in the Labor alignment. Ma- pam, which is Marxist oriented and takes a conciliatory line to- ward the Arabs, has refused to join a coalition with the rightist, hard-line Gahal (Herut-Liberal alignment) based on a common platform. So far, Mapam has resisted La- bor Party:- pressure to back down. There is talk in both Labor Party and Mapam circles that the best solution would be for Mapam to withdraw from the political align- ment with Labor which was form- ed earlier this year. In that event, Mapam would be excluded from the new coalition. Some Labor Party members, however, are finding it difficult to accept Gahal's demands for changes in the economic and social policies of the outgoing coalition. Gahal submitted a lengthy document prop o s i n g, among other things, the com- pulsory arbitration of labor dis- putes and a new national health insurance scheme. In addition to Labor and Gahal, the other factions represented at Monday night's meetings were the Na- tional Religious Party, the In- dependent Liberals and the Poalei Agudat Israel. Meanwhile, the Labor alignment managed to retain the mayorship of Tel Aviv, Israel's largest city, by agreeing to concessions de-1 manded by the National Religious Party, which will be its coalition partner. The NRP will get the posts of acting mayor and de utv mayor and will be given control of several municipal departments. In addition; life in Tel Aviv will SHANDELS HAS MORE GOWNS '29 TO $199 Over 1500 Dazzling styles in tong, short and pant gowns. Junior, Misses and Half Sizes.

The Laborites also agreed to in- crease the municipal allocation to the Tel Aviv Religious Council and raise the budget of the religious school system. The Labor align- ment "paid the price" in order to prevent the NRP from joining a coalition with Gahal, which would have excluded Labor from the city government. Earlier, a three-judge panel of Israel's Supreme Court rejected unanimously an application by the attorney general to cancel a temporary injunction barring Premier Golda Meir from ban- ning television programs on the Sabbath. The issue has political elements because the National Religious Party had announced that its entry into the coalition government Mrs. Meir is trying to form would de- pend on such a ban. The three-man panel—Justices Moshe Landau, Zvi Susman and Zvi Berenson—bypassed the ques- tion as to whether an injunction granted on a Sabbath is legal. The justices ruled that the ques- tion was not relevant to the main issue and trerefore did not need consideration in the ruling. The government was ordered tc pay costs of 300 pounds to the at- torney who: obtained the original temporary order. The panel also granted another application for an order calling on Labor Minister Joseph Almogi to explain the Nobel Prize Winners Join Pearson Tribute 25% OFF SUPER SPECIAL FOR HANUKA MENORA 249 14K GOLD JEWELRY—OPAL EARRINGS, BRACE- LETS & RINGS AT DISCOUNT PRICES.
