Detroit, Mich. 48221 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. 5 lbs. of MATZO, If I can't Beat Your Best Deal ARNOLD MARoOLlS Margolis Household Furniture 30 YEARS at the Same OLD STAND 6 Mile, 1 BIk.

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 commercial relations with South Africa, a Bnai Brith report released at the council's annual meeting declared. The report, prepared by Dr. Harris Schoenberg, Bnai Brith's deputy di- rector for United Nations Affairs, noted that South Africa's largest trading U.S. and British Jewish Leaders to Discuss Issues NEW YORK (JTA) — The Board of Deputies of British Jews has invited the Conference of Presi- dents of Major American Jewish Organizations to meet in a joint leadership session in London later SZ Medical Center this year for a discussion of major issues in which Wins Katz Prize communities are NEW YORK — The both first Katz Prize for the concerned.

Several black states, after importing party- finished products from South Africa, finish, label and sell them in African markets without any South African identity, the re- port said. The report noted the current-Arab propaganda drive charging Israel with racism and citing South African Prime Minister John Vorster's recent visit to that coun- try as evidence of "a Tel Aviv-Pretoria Axis," hypocritically ignores their own growing com- merce with Africa, that of a generally pro-Arab Fr- ance which has become South Africa's principal arms supplier, or Vors- ter's meetings with the heads of state of the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Liberia and Zambia. South African trade re- lations with black African nations have been grow- ing at an annual rate of almost 40 percent and many black African states seek loans and cre- dits from the Vorster government, the report said. Dubai, Lebanon, Morocco, Egypt, Abu Dhabi, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, Hun- gary, East Germany, the Soviet Union, Bulgaria and China all have trade relations with South Af- rica, the report stated.
