ing a debate on prisoners of
Zion in the Soviet Union:
Biton demanded that the
Knesset drop this subject
from the agenda and discuss
the conditions of prisoners
in Israel instead. His par-
liamentary secretary is in
jail pending a murder trial.
Biton was granted time to
speak on his request to
strike off the agenda a mo-
tion calling on the Knesset
to express solidarity with
Soviet prisoner Ida Nudel.
Instead of presenting a
short statement, as is
usually done in such in-
stances, Biton began to
read a long speech
criticizing the support
given to Soviet Jewish
prisoners and denounc-
ing Silva Zalmanson as a
"terrorist" for having
participated in the at-
tempt to hijack a Soviet
plane in 1970. He said the
government was neglect-
ing the "real prisoners of
Zion, who sit in Ramla
and Ramallah,
Beersheba and Nablus."
When the chairman of the
session called Biton to or-
der, the legislator pulled out
large handcuffs from his
pocket and chained himself
to the microphone.
The Knesset was thrown
into an uproar with several
Knesseters trying to unc-
hain Biton. Unable to do so,
a gardener was rushed to
the chamber who used
shears to cut the handcuffs.
. Biton, 31, was one of the
founders of the Israeli
Black Panthers group in
the early 1970s and be-
came widely known
when he led anti-
government demonstra-
tions demanding social
equality for Sephardic
Jews. He served several
short periods in Israeli
prisons, during his youth,
on burglary charges and
later in connection with
the Black Panther
demonstrations.
During his speech in the
Knesset, Biton referred to
what he termed the mis-
treatment he was subjected
to while in prison.
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Arnon Gafni, governor of
the Bank of Israel, unveiled
his own plan to fight infla-
tion.
Appearing before the
Knesset's Finance Commit-
tee, he criticized the IL 304
billion budget proposed by
Finance • Minister Simha
Ehrlich as inflationary and
urged that it be pared by IL
5 billion to reduce the rate of
inflation by 10 percent.
The cabinet failed to vote
on Ehrlich's budget. The
vote was postponed until
the next session at which
time Premier Menahem
Begin is expected to inter-
vene. The most severe critic
of Ehrlich was Yitzhak
Modai, Minister of Energy
and Infrastructure, who
presented an alternative
budget based largely on
Gafni's proposals.
Gafni told the Finance
Committee that if the
budget isn't cut, income
taxes should be raised
and the government
should continue to slash
its price support sub-
sidies for basic food
products and public
transportation.
Mercy and truth preserve
the king; and his throne is
upheld by mercy.
Ehrlich is known to favor
a reduced budget in princi-
ple but maintains that his
budget is the smallest
possible under the present
circumstances. He said that
he was still hopeful it would
be approved intact for sub-
mission to the Knesset early
next year.
Most members of the
cabinet want reductions.
But Yisrael Katz, the,/
Minister for Social Better-
ment, warned that the cuts
must not fall on the shoul-
ders of the least affluent.
