Zadok said thePremier would set up a panel of ex- perts, including secret serv- ice and military intelligence personnel, to investigate the leaks and recommend mea- sures to stop them. But Za- dok reminded the MKs of tough laws already on the statute books that provide prosecution and punish- ment for persons found re- sponsible for leaking classi- fied material. One measure to be con- sidered, he said, was an ordinance providing. that sensitive political infor- mation, such as the recent message from President Ford to Rabin, deploring the new settlements on the Golan Heights, be classi- fied as military secrets with a penalty of up to 15 year's in jail for leaking such material. Zadok said the wave of leaks from the Cabinet chamber resulted-in deci- sion-making being removed be abig to express them- selves freely, Zadok ob- served. But they were inhib- ited by the possibility of leaks, he said. Zadok's observations were similar to those of Haim Landau of Likud and Avra- ham Melamed of the Na- tional Religious Party who presented agenda motions decrying the recent spate of leaks.

The fire, the worst in Tel Aviv's history, took 30 hours to bring under control and sent four fireMen to the hos- Taal for treatment for smoke inhalation. The police and fire-fight- ing authorities appear con- vinced, that the fire was a clear case of arson and link it to the extortion racket that has been flourishing in Israeli cities. They have dis- counted terrorist responsi- bility despite a claim by the Palestinian news agency Wafa in Beirut that terror- ists had planted explosives in the Haaretz building. Haaretz, Israel's leading morning newspaper, re- cently published a series of articles on the protec- tion racket. Despite the severe damage and the flooding of its press room, the paper continued to publish without interrup- tion utilizing the plants and office facilities made available to it by the dai- lies Davar and Yediot Achronot. In addition to gutting the Haaretz basement, it caused severe damage to adjacent shops and factories, includ- ing an underground emer- gency store room of the Red Magen David Society, Is- rael's Red Cross. Meanwhile, Premier Yit- zhak Rabin has decided to become personally involved in efforts to eliminate the protection racket that is preying on merchants in Israel's large cities. Rabin revealed his intention at a Cabinet session after Wel- fare Minister Zevulun Ham- mer said the phenomenon is growing and needs increas- ing police resources to curb it. Police Minister Shlomo Hillel, who last week said the police could not control the racket because the vic- tims were 'afraid to talk, told the Cabinet that the police are trying to elimi- nate the racket. The protection racket has • been receiving more public attention with the increas- ing violent incidents that have occurred. The existence of an extensive network of extortionists in _Haifa came to light recently after an incidence of violence during which a hand grenade was tossed into a local vegetable market. Israel Thanked for Vote at UN NEW YORK (JTA) — Chaim Herzog, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, said in a telephone interview from San Juan, Puerto Rico, that the Governor of the Virgin Islands, Cyril King, has publicly thanked Israel for voting along with the United States against a UN General Assembly resolu- tion condemning the "im- perialistic" U.S. military presence in the Virgin Is- lands. The resolution, adopted earlier this month by a vote of 108-3, called upon "co- lonial powers to withdraw immediately and uncondi- tionally from their military bases and installations from colonial territories and to refrain from establishing new ones." The third coun- try voting against the reso- lution was Nicaragua. Herzog, who stopped in San Juan on his way back from the Virgin Islands to the U.S., said he addressed some 300 members of the Jewish community of St. Thomas last week at a gath- ering for the United Jewish Appeal. Among those attending was King. According to Her- zog, the gathering was the largest in the history of the Jewish community. North.Park Plaza, Room 120 17117 W.
