Teachers' Strike Continues; Other Walkouts Predicted
JERUSALEM (JTA)—President
Zalman Shazar said that he could
not condemn Israel's striking high
school teachers but maintained
that the government's fair offer
to meet some of their demands
"has taken the wind out of their
sails."
President Shazar spoke to a
joint delegation of parents and
pupils who visited his home to
protest the six-week walkout which
has affected tens of thousands of
Israeli teen-agers.
Education Minister Yigal Allon
who was present at the meeting,
accused the teachers of going back
on their word. The high school
parents demonstrated outside the
Knesset building demanding that
the government and the teachers'
union act quickly to end the strike.
A delegation visited the Knes-
set speaker. But the strikers and
the government remained at an
impasse following a meeting of
union leaders with Premier Golda
Meir, who told them the govern-
ment could not afford to meet
their wage demands.
Meanwhile, a new wave of walk-
outs by airport employes and
courthouse workers threatened.
Minister Yigal Allon and Finance
'Minister Pinhas Sapir declared
that the government would make
no more concessions to the teach-
ers.

of the safest
ways to save.
The cabinet decided to meet in
emergency sessions this week, pos-
sibly to draft legislation to break
the teachers' strike. But there •ap-
peared to be little chance to avert
a 24-hour "warning strike" called
for Tuesday by some 800 airport
administrative employes and flight
control officers demanding higher
wages. The strike would halt all
domestic and overseas flights.
A foreign ministry spokesman
said that Foreign 'Minister Abba
Eban might leave for London Mon-
day instead of Tuesday as orig-
inally scheduled, in order to avoid
being grounded by the strike.
Court clerks and administrative
employes in courthouses all over
the country also threatened to
strike in support of wage de-
mands.
Postal workers are still engaged
in a work slow-down which is de-
laying snail deliveries.
