One of the 'heroes' of the in- surrection in Bucharest was D. Groza, the chief of the Legionary Workers Corps. "Groza, with Viorel Trifa, the head of the Students Union—led the actual fight- ing." Armand Salturelli, district director of the U.S. Immigra- tion and Naturalization Serv- ice, said three witnesses have been interviewed locally in the Trifa investigation. Others have been questioned by the New York INS office, which is leading the investi- gation. Immigration authorities have been questioning wit- nesses in the Trifa case with a view to finding out if—as has been charged—Trifa lied about his, Romanian Iron Guard connections when ap- pearing before naturalization authorities. Without witnesses who ac- tually saw Trifa lead the January 1941 insurrection, evidence will not stand up in a court of law. It will require denaturalization of the bishop before he can be returned to Romania. Salturelli again issued a call for witnesses with direct information on Trifa's World War II record.

It also provides incentives for export industries and puts a damper on imports by in- creasing tariffs. Finance Minister Yehoshua Rabinowitz explained the new measures in a radio address Monday night. He said that while Israel's economy had returned to normal "quite rapidly" after the Yom Kip- pur War, proving its intrinsic strength, "we have returned too fast to a regular life style but conditions do not allow it." He referred to the immense defense needs which he said "dwarfed" the pr e war needs." We have to make sure that the state has the money which is needed for building the armed forces along with essential economic activities," Rabinowitz said. The government's new plan received a generally favorable reception from economists and industrialists although reservations were expressed over whether it will work as intended. The Histadrut Central Commit- tee is meeting Tuesday to consider the government's proposal to waive half of the 20 per cent cost-of-living al- lowance payable to wage earners beginning with this month's salaries. The atmos- phere in Histadrut is not fav- orable to the idea. Economic experts estimat- ed that higher tariffs will push up the prices of im- ported cars, electrical appli- ances, clothing, j e w e l r y, cameras and similar consum- er items. They also effect Is- rael-made goods using im- ported parts. The government promised, however, that the prices of four basic commodities, in- cluding oil, will not go up un- til the beginning of the next year and that any price rises abroad will be absorbed by the government in the foim of increased susidies. The war loan imposed on wage earners since last October will be raised a minimum of 7 per cent to 10 per cent of monthly in- come, which will mean less net income for Israeli work- ers. Most ministries will be expected to shave their bud- jets, and the halt in pub- lic building is expected to save up to IL 500,000,000 ($125,000,400). Some businessmen expres- sed fear of a business slow- down. But Avraham Shavit, act- ing chairman of the Israel Manufacturers Association, summed up the industrialists' view. "It is good that there is a plan. Even a bad plan is better than no plan," he said.
