Investment Law
Urged for Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA)—
Amos Mar-Haim, director
general of the investment
center, urged the Cabinet to
introduce a new law aimed
at encouraging in-
vestinents.
In memorandums to the
Finance Minister and the
Minister of Commerce and
Industry, Mar-Haim said
the present law was too
complex. He urged the elim-
ination of bureaucratic red
tape which.. he said, dis-
couraged the kind of in-
vestors Israel's industry
wanted to attract.
. He said the new law
should be clear, concise
and effective and should be
enacted without delay.

Jewish legislators, particu-
larly Jewish Congressmen,
have come under sharp at-
tack from the United, Ortho-
dox Services, Inc., a group
of Orthodox Jews headquar-
tered in New York.
The UOS has assailed the
Congressmen for supporting
the Equal Rights Amend-
ment, which the group
says, "virtually all rabbinic-
al sages oppose."
They have also attacked
Jewish Congressmen for
backing a bill protecting
the civil rights of homose-
xuals, since they assert that
"The Bible, in Leviticus,
clearly labels homosexual-
ity 'an abomnination', and
the fact that these so-called
Jewish leaders take their in-
itiative in encouraging it is
equally abominable."
Israel Treatment in U.S. Media Hit
NEW YORK (JTA)—Aza-
ria Rapoport, press attache
at the Israel Consulate in
New York, accused the
American media of creat-
ing a distorted image of 'Is-
rael through inaccurate and
partial reporting on events
in Israel.
Addressing the Overseas
Press Club of America lat
the Biltmore Hotel in New
York, Rapoport, who is re-
turning to Israel after serv-
ing here since the 1973 Yom
Kippur War, said that in his
view the American media
has not been conveying
"the full picture" when re-
porting on Israel. He said
that news items on Israel
and the Mideast conflict
often fail to provide the
background that led to the
particular event and the
American reader, there-
fore. gets distorted informa-
tion about Israel.
Rapoport also charged
that the American media ig-
nores "positive" events in
Israel, such as Israel's eco-
nomic achievements and
the establishment of the
"good fence" on the Israeli-
Lebanese border during the
civil war in Lebanon, while
reporting extensively on
"sensational" events.
