Norwegian Foreign Ministry
sources in Oslo indicated
Tuesday that Norway was
determined, "whatever the
political consequences may
be," to solve the murder of
a Moroccan citizen for which
they are holding two Israelis
and four others as suspects.
Ahmed Boushicki was shot
July 21 in the Norwegian re-
sort town of Lillehammer.
The foreign ministry circles
also indicated that Foreign
Minister Dalfin Varvik per-
sonally decided not to per-
mit Meir Rosenne to meet
with the two arrested Is-
raelis.
Rosenne, senior legal ad-
viser to the Israeli Foreign
Ministry, arrived in Oslo last
Friday and immediately ap-
plied for permission to meet
with two of those arrested
in connection with the mur-
der.
The two were arrested
last Thursday in the home of
Israeli diplomat Yigal Eyal.
'Rosenne met this week
with the Norwegian foreign
minister and top Norwegian
officials. Up till now, he has
been refused permission to

JERUSALEM—Fewer tour-
ists than had been expected
visited Israel during the first
half of this 25th anniversary
year, the Israel Ministry of
Tourism reported.
The ministry had predicted
800,000 tourists for this year.
The total is expected to fall
below 700,000.
The chairman of the Is-
rael Hotel Owners Associa-
tion, Dr. Kurt Licht, sees this
year as an anti-climax to the
1971 record-breaking period.
In view of the current de-
cline and the rapid pace of
new hotel construction, he
advocated the end of the
ban on charter flights. He
pointed out that the high
price of tickets to Israel con-
stitutes a deterrent factor.
In addition, Dr. Licht said,
Israel is an unkempt country
which is still lacking in tour-
ist consciousness.
The general secretary of
the Association of Tourist
Agencies in Israel, Pinhas
Molad said that Israel was
now footing the bill for 1971
—when hotels had indulged
in gross over-booking and the
service was poor and pro-
vided with a take-it-or-leave-
it attitude.
