ment service that. Tzur
first attracted attention,
working under Pinhas
Sapir, then Minister of
Commerce and Industry.
In the 50's, when Sapir's
aggressive young trouble-
shooters were unraveling
the bureaucratic knots
which hampered Israel's
early industrial expan-
sion, Tzur was regarded as
the best of the bunch.

In Israel's unique hybrid
economy — some call it
"state bankrolled capital-
ism" — Tzur now held a po-
sition of enormous power.
Many of the country's con-
•elms were heavily depend-
ent on him. Tzur directed
the flow of subsidized in-
vestment capital. He could
award tax exemptions and
allocate valuable govern-
ment contracts.
Enjoying Sapir's confid-
ence, Tzur had wide discre-
tion in making fateful deci-
sions. It was largely up to
him whether a particular
concern would benefit from

official assistance or he left
out in the cold. where few
survived.
It now appears that
Tzur's decisions were guided
by more than patriotic zeal
or careful calculations of
the national interest.
The "Tzur Affair" is not
an isolated case. The former
director-general may he the
most prominent, but he is
far from being the only
well-known figure attract-
ing police interest. Ever
since last year's collapse of
two foreign banks with close
links to Israel, the country
has been inundated by a
wave of revelations about
misdeeds in high places.

Leading figures are un-
der investigation or on
trial, including heads of
large concerns like the
trade union-owned Solel
Boneh construction com-
pany and the semi-official
Vered overseas contract-
ing corporation. New reve-
lations keep surfacing and
the police are floundering
through masses of complex
accountancy.

There is more at stake
than the "mere" embezzle-
ment of public money. Some
of those now being shown
up as self-serving crooks
were household names: men
who enjoyed widespread
confidence and who, like
Tzur, scowled down from
their prestigious posts to
scold Israel's "overpaid, un-
derproductive" workers.
Seriously concerned over
the effect of the scandals on
public morale, Yitzhak Ra-
bin's government has prom-
ised a full- investigation,
with no cover-ups, no mat-
ter how highly placed the
suspects.

Until t h e scandal brpke,
Tzur was one of the best

On Yom Kippur 1973,
when the _Arab surprise at-
tack caught their renowned
army unprepared, Israelis
underwent a crisis of confid-
ence which left them
bruised, abashed and bewil-
dered.
Today, as waves of scan-
dal undermine the credibil-
ity of their . 1clininistrative
elite, Israelis are beginning-
to refer to this flood of cor-
ruption as "a second YOm
Kippur."
