JWB Convention Speakers Set for New Orleans Meeting JERUSALEM (JTA) — The government announced substantial increases in the prices of 14 basic commodi- ties, foodstuffs, fuel and energy and public transpor- tation. At the same time, the pound underwent an- other devaluation and now stands at IL 7.52 to $1. The price hikes are a di- rect result of cutbacks in government subsidies that were decreed for economy reasons. A 25 percent ceiling _ was placed on price in- creases at the insistence of Histadrut. Israelis are paying: 14.7 percent more for gasoline; 25 percent more for bread; 20-25 percent more for milk and cheese; and 20 percent_ more for frozen meat and poilltry. Electric bills will go up 5 percent and public transportation by 25 per- cent. Meanwhile, a govern- ment-appointed committee has recommended that in- vestments in Israel in for- eign currency should be 'linked" to the dollar to pro- tect them against ongoing devaluation of the Israeli pound. Without such protec- tion (as is the situation at present), such investments are apt to drop steeply over a relatively brief time span. The committee, under auditor Shalom Ronel, who was a member of the five- member BenShahar com- mittee on tax reform, pro- posed that the real value of the investment dollar be maintained — even after it is translated into Israeli pounds. It urged that firms be allowed to allocate sums out of the profits — as tax- free expenses — to make good the loss incurred to their foreign investments value through devaluation. It also was reported that 20,000 government employ- ees went on a four-hour strike Sunday to protest a decision by the ministerial committee on wages to abol- ish the "specific allowances" hitherto paid to them.

HIAS Celebrates U.S. Bicentennial NEW YORK (JTA) — The 92nd HIAS annual meeting took on special significance last week, as more than 1,000 visitors crowded into the New York Hilton's Tri- anon Ballroom, for a special observance in honor of America's Bicentennial. The audience included hundreds of recently resettled Soviet Jewish immigrants. At a special HIAS board dinner, following the meet- ing, the 1976 Liberty Award was presented to Philip M. Klutznick, honorary inter- national president of the Bnai Brith and a former United States representa- tive to the United Nations. Klutznick, who recently served on the President's Adviso-ry Committee on Vietnamese Refugees, was honored for "long service in defense of those human rights which have brought generations of immigrants to America in search of free- dom." The meeting, which was addressed by many promi- nent public figures, also fea- tured a musical tribute to America and the role of immigrants in building this nation. Entering its 93rd year of rescue and resettle- ment service, HIAS has aided over four million Jew- ish refugees and migrants.
