"1° TEL AVIV (JTA)—A new wave of labor troubles has engulfed Is- rael's chief seaports and a 'vital section of the country's defense industries. _ Port workers at Haifa, Israel's largest -seaport, have started a work slowdown that is causing serious delays in loading citrus cargoes at the peak of the citrus export season. - Port - foremen at Ashdod, Is- rael's second port, staged a . three-how. work stoppage S. day in support of the demands 1110.. issue is a bonus in the form of an income-taz reduction.

He has appeared in a number- of panel discussions in support of the Arab cause and was represented in court by Abdeen Jabara, attorney who served in defense of Sirhan 'Sirhan. Prof. Ben-Dak is a senior teaching fellow at the University of Michigan and -a sociologIst at the university's Center for Con- flict Resolution, where he recent- ly taught a course on the Middle East situation. Representing him was the Ypsilanti firm of Bron- sou and Egnor. Prior to the symposium, spon- sored by the Organization of Arab Students, Ben-Dak had distributed a pamphlet which he had written, commenting on the qualifications of the program participants. When Hochman learned of the distribu- tion of. the pamphlet, which was none - too complimentary toward him, he and the other symposium participants insisted that Ben-Dak comment on the allegations from the podium. Ben-Dak at first declined, but at Hochman's insistence repeated the statements made in the pamph- let. These included Hochman's hatred of Israel (evidenced in writings and speeches), his own joking references to unhappy en- counters with Israeli__ women and a lack of qualifications in regard to analysis of the Middle East situation. - At this point, Hochman ordered B'en-Dak off the Podium, and he subsequently filed suit for libel and slander. Judge Ager ruled that Hochman's complaint alleged no specific claims of malice, only a general claim of malice. Citing an earlier Michigan Su- preme Court case, that of Nuyen vs. Slater, Judge Ager repeated that finding: "a general allegation that the writing and its publications were done maliciously- is insuffi- cient" I Hoebman's motion for accele- rated judgment was denied, and the court affirmed summary judgment for the defendant Judge Ager gave Hochman 13 days to amend his plea to allege specific acts of malice by the defendant, but Hochman did not reply. The suit was dismissed.
