nomic revolution is the
biggest failure Israel has
ever known." Yaacobi spoke
at a special Knesset session
convened by the Labor
Alignment to discuss soar-
ing inflation.
Pointing to the growth in
both the deficit of the trade
balance and the state's
debts, Yaacobi, a member of
the Knesset Economic
Committee, said that infla-
tion is like a "cancer, caus-
ing social destruction and
obstructing investments" in
Israel.
In response, Deputy Fi-
nance Minister Yehezkiel

of Ehrlich who is abroad,
termed Yaacobi's claims
demagogic and said it was
unfair to base the yearly in-
flation trend on price in-
creases of one month alone.
Yaacobi had referred to
the 2.4 percent hike in the
consumer price index dur-
ing July.
It was later reported
that the Israel cost of liv-
ing index rose by a record
54 percent since the
Likud government took
power.
The July increase was
contrary to the traditional
decrease of prices during
the month of July. The main
factors in the rise were
fruits and vegetables, gen-
eral foods, housing and
transportation prices.
Fruits and vegetables
went up 3.5 percent,
whereas traditionally their
prices go down at this time
ofyear, due to ample supply.
The only decline in prices
were those for clothing and
shoes, which were on end-
of-season sale. Apartment
prices increased by 30 per-
cent during the first half of
July compared to the prev-
ious six months.
UJA Mission
Visiting Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The 320 members of the
United Jewish Appeal's
Prime Minister's Mission
were in Israel this week for
four days of meetings with
*top officials.
The mission, led by UJA
general chairman Irwin
Field and executive vice-
chairman Irving Bernstein,
officially launches the
UJA's 40th anniversary.
The mission members
toured the country exten-
sively, including the Gaza
Strip and the new town of
Yamit.
Arabs Respond to Israel Radio
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Patients from Libya, Jor-
dan, Saudi Arabia, Syria,
and countries of the Persian
Gulf have been treated re-
cently in Israeli hospitals.
The implementation of
treatment and the granting
of medical advice was made
possible through Israel
Radio's "The Doctor Behind
the Microphone" program,
part of the Broadcasting
Authority's Arabic-
language programming
network. This was reported
in the new government
yearbook's survey of the
Broadcasting Authority's
activities.
Persons from all Arab
countries seeking medical
counseling have turned to
the program in order to re-
ceive advice, and some have
even traveled to Israel and
received treatment in medi-
cal institutions here.
The yearbook also re-
ported increasing interest
among the Arab populace
living within the "green
line" and on the West Bank
and Gaza Strip concerning
news reports offered by Is-
rael Radio's Arabic-
language programming. As
a result, seven Arabic-
language news broadcasts
were added in the past year.
