MORRIS_BUICK VIENNA—Austria's Schoe- nau Castle, the transit center for emigrating Soviet Jews, was closed Monday by the government. The Red Cross Center at Woellersdorf, 25 miles south of here will take all future emigrants unable to continue on immediately. A transit period of 14 hours has been set as the maxi- mum for those fit to travel on to Israel. In September, Chancellor Bruno Kreisky announced that the center would be closed in exchange for the release of three Soviet Jews and an Austrian customs of- ficial taken the day before by Arab gunmen. Nine-Hour Work Day Pondered JERUSALEM (JTA) — A ministerial economic commit- tee is to broach with Hista- drut the suggestion of intro- ducing a nine-hour day in factories, offices and other work places so as to share the burden more fairly be- tween the reservists in the armed forces and the rest of the labor force. The decision came at the committee's weekly meeting in Jerusalem. The proposal was originally mooted by Deputy Transport Minister Gad Yaacobi—and Finance Minister Pinhas S'apir is said to support it. Koor Industries Director- General Meir Amit has taken the matter a stage further by actually introducing a nine- hour day in the huge Koor industrial network. (Koor is Histadrut-owned). Meanwhile, economists and columnists are warning the public that a long period of belt tightening is scheduled. Kreisky said he closed the center, against much inter- national protest, because it presented too great a secur- ity problem. Even a visit by Israel Prime Minister Golda Meir didn't help.

U.S. DISCOUNT CENTER 34271 14500 W. 7 MILE (at Lodge) Forced loans and voluntary loans have eaten into family incomes, and increased food and electricity prices have made further encroachments. Last week—in the wake of electricity raises of some 30 per -cent—the price of water skyrocketed by 20 per cent. And, following fuel price hikes, taxi fares went up 15 per cent in Jerusalem and 20 per cent in Tel Aviv. The Central Bureau of Sta- tistics, in a perversely timed statement, announced that in January-September 1973, 32,500 new cars had been purchased, 70,300 TV sets, 72,600 washing ma- chines and 55,300 refrigera- tors—an average rise of 31 per cent over the same period last year.
