British Official
Praises Arabs
LONDON (JTA)—A high-rank
ing British government official
Tuesday heaped praise on the Arab
League, referred apologetically to
the construction of submarines for
Israel by British yards, and claim-
ed that Foreign Minister Sir Alec
Douglas-Home's Harrogate speech
of Dec. 1970 in which he called for
Israel's withdrawal from the ad-
ministered territories remained the
keystone of Britain's Middle East
policy.

El Al Strike Settled, but Workers
Make Demands for Staying on Job
TEL AVIV (JTA)—E1 Al was
on the way to resuming normal
service following settlement of one
of the worst labor disputes in its
history. The settlement, a condi-
tional one, was reached after tor-
tuous bargaining between Yitzhak
Ben-Aharon, secretary general of
Histadrut, his aides, and the nine
committees of El Al employes rep-
resenting striking workers and
their supporters.
Agreement was reached when
the workers were satisfied that
heavy fines levied against them by
a district labor relations court
would be lifted or greatly reduced
and that the government would res-
cind its back-to-work order to strik-
ing ground maintenance crews.
The airline's losses from the
three-day strike are estimated be-
tween and $2,000,000.
Histadrul stepped in after a
ministerial committee on econo-
mic affairs decided at a special
meeting here to suspend all El
AI services. The decision was
taken after 1,000 clerical employ-
es and flight stewards voted to
join 500 striking workshop em-
ployes at Lydda Airport.
The latter walked out in sympa-
thy with ground maintenance crews
who were forced to end their ear-
lier walkout by the back-to-work
order issued by Transport Minis-
ter Shimon Peres.
Shortly after agreement was
reached, Peres announced that he'
was canceling his back-to-work
order. The payment of fines was
postponed for three weeks during
which efforts will be made through
the Supreme Court to cancel them
or reduce them to a negligible
minimum
