Agudii Nik:onfideu ce Vote Fails;
Golda Blasts Group for 'incitement'

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier
Golda Meir castigated ultra-Ortho-
dox elements in the Knesset Tues-
day after a no-confidence motion
introduced by the Agudat Israel
faction was crushed by a 57-5 vote.
The motion accused the Govern-
ment of forcing religious Jewish
emigres from Soviet Georgia to
violate the Sabbath and alleged
that some were fired from jobs at
Lydda Airport because they re-
fused to work -on Saturday.
The motion accused the, govern-
only of the Poalei Agudat Israel
faction. There were 13 absentions.
Speaking in the Knesset, Premier
Meir accused the Agudat Israel of
presenting the motion because of
"An unholy competition among
the religoius parties" to capture
the souls of the Georgian immi-
grants.
She claimed that this verged
on incitement, and observed that
the Georgian emigrees were set-
tling down as well, as if not bet-
ter, than most other immigrants.
Mrs. Meir said the Georgian
Jews at Lydda Airport were hired
as porters temporarily during the
Christmas season tourist rush and
knew in advance that their em-
ployment was seasonal. Nobody
was fired for refusing to work on
the Sabbath, she said.
The eight dismissed by the air-
port were offered steady jobs in
the post office where they will not
be required to work on Saturday.

AJCommittee Says
Govt. Has Retreated
on Bias Guidelines

NEW YORK (JTA)—The Amer-
ican Jewish Committee charged
that the new federal "Guidelines on
Discrimination Because of Reli-
gion or National Origin" represent
"a substantial retreat on the part
of the government" in its efforts
to end religious discrimination by
companies with Federal contracts.
The complaint was made in a
letter from Philip E. Hoffman,
president of the AJCommittee, and
Harold S. Bigler, chairman of its
national --business and industry
committee to John L. Vilk.s, di-
rector of the U.S. Department of
Labor's Office of Federal Contract
Compliance.
Hoffman and Bigler charged
that the new guidelines relied on
voluntary rather than compul-
sory actions by employers to
eliminate religions discrimination
against Jews and Catholics, par-
ticularly in management. level
jobs and removed the require-
ment for making "reasonable job
accommodations of 'r eligious
needs and observances."
They said further, that by ex-
tending the guidelines to all em-
ployers, however small, enforce-
ment was made more difficult and
the emphasis was removed from
"executive suite" jobs, the area
where it was most needed."

dat Israel MK who had moved the
no-confidence motion, said he was
willing to accept the explanation
that there was_no deliberate inten-
tion by the government to force
the Georgian emigres to abandon
their faith. But he accused the
labor and transport ministries of
requiring the Georgians to work on
the Sabbath or lose their jobs.

Extremists Desecrate
Synagogue in Madrid

MADRID (JTA) — The Madrid
Synagogue was desecrated by right-
wing extremists in one of the
worst anti-Semitic outrages in
Spain in decades.
A swastika and hammer and
sickle and slogans reading "Death
to the Jews," "Synagogue, Juda-
ism, Danger," "Out with the
traitors" and "Long Live Catholic
unity" were painted on the walls
in red and black paint.
Also painted on the wall was
"Spanish Traditionalist Youth,"
the name of a right-wing organi-
zation believed to be similar to
the Guerilleros de Christo Rey,
which was responsible for the
destruction of Picasso drawings
during a recent showing in a
Madrid art gallery to mark the
artist's 90th birthday.
