Haifa port remained
paralyzed for the second
day as the result of a
wildcat strike by
warehousemen which
prevented ships from
loading and unloading
their cargoes.
At the same time, the
Elco electronics plant was
shut down; the manage-
ment of the Shimshon tire
factory threatened to close
its Petah Tivka plant
Tuesday unless workers,
demanding promotions
and higher wages, ended
their slowdown action.
The latest wave of labor
strife, in many cases, in-
volves long simmering
disputes between work-
ers and management. It
is believed to be related,
at least in part, to the an-
ticipated 25-40 percent
increase in the prices of
basic commodities and
public transportation.
Workers, consequently,
are seeking higher pay to
Klarman Demands
Rejected by WZO
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The
World Zionist Organiza-
tion Executive rejected
demands by Yosef Klar-
man, a leader of Herut
and the WZO's youth
aliya director, that the
Zionist Congress Court
check the legality of not
holding elections for the
next World Zionist Con-
gress and of his charge
that elections for the last
congress were illegal.
He was told to take his
charges to the WZO's
legal advisers first.
Klarman, Herut's rep-
resentative on the Zionist
General Council, was one
of the strongest dissen-
ters when the council de-
cided in July to forego
elections for the congress
in those countries where
90 percent of the Zionist
federations agreed upon
a slate of delegates be-
forehand.
He had urged the WZO
to postpone the congress,
scheduled for January,
1977, for three months to
allow the elections to be
held.
In his other claim,
Klarman charged that
the elections to the last
Zionist Congress were not
legal since many mem-
bers of Zionist federa-
tions had not signed the
"Jerusalem Program" as
required.

Nurses at hospitals all
over Israel announced
that they would go on
strike this week for
higher wages. The nurses
are the only labor group
whose strike, should it
materialize, would have
the support of most Is-
raelis. The government
apparently regards their
demands as legitimate
but fears that acceding to
them would spark similar
demands from other
workers. Some 15,000
nurses staged a 24-hour
walk-out last week.
Administrative em-
ployes of the govern-
ment-controlled television
system are threatening a
three-day strike in sup-
port of demands for higher
pay. Tourist guides have
already demonstrated and
set up picket lines outside
the ministry of tourism of-
fices in Jerusalem and Tel
Aviv.
Meanwhile, the minis-
try of commerce and in-
dustry was confronted by
demonstrators from the
Negev township of
Yeruham where 150
workers have been dis-
missed from local plants.
The demonstrators are
demanding jobs for the
laid off workers.
Bnai Brith Says Third World
Is Trading With South Africa
WASHINGTON
Third World countries,
while excoriating Israel
for its relations with
South Africa, are them-
selves maintaining ex-
tensive — but often cir-
cumspect — trade with
the apartheid-practicing
state, the Bnai Brith In-
ternational Council dis-
closed.
Virtually every black
African country, along
with Arab and Com-
munist nations, has

Brith report released at
the council's annual
meeting declared.
The report, prepared by
Dr. Harris Schoenberg,
