Yadin and Minister of So- cial Betterment Yisrael Katz, both of the Demo- cratic Movement, supported the Cabinet majority. The decision, which could elimi- nate cheap government loans for industry, was as- sailed by the Manufacturers Association last week. In a radio interview over the weekend, Patt focused his criticism on the two DM ministers who, he charged, pretend to be protectors of the public welfare. He said they were ignorant of the implications of the loan de- cision but„,clid not have to worry about their con- stituents because they stood no chance of participating in the next government. Although Patt is a member of Likud, Pre- mier Menahem Begin is backing Yadin. The latter warned Patt not to presume to forecast the next election results. BAD CHECKS!!

Rubin Mass, 85, Jewish Publisher JERUSALEM (JTA) — Rubin Mass, founder and president of the Mass Pub- lishing House, is dead at age 85. Born in Vistyteri, Lithu- ania, on June 10, 1894, he ran a publishing house in Berlin from 1927 to 1933. After he moved to Israel in 1933, he established his publishing house in Jerusalem. After his son, Daniel, died in the War of Independence, he became active in organizations commemorating the war dead and was chairman of the Council for Commem- oration of Soldiers and the War Graves Commission. Contrary to Arab claims, most Americans — not just American Jews — favored the creation of the state of Israel, although the U.S. State Department was re- luctant to support it.

"Four million Palesti- nians today represent to a certain degree, what Jews represented before the Sec- ond World War; a people without land and without a country, paying for a guilt that is not their own," the president said, according to a release by his press office. "It is absolutely necessary for us to understand and make every effort to solve this problem by peaceful means." The press office released the text of Pertini's remarks after he was quoted on Ita- lian television Monday night as comparing the con- ditions of Palestinians to that of Jews under Nazism. Following a storm of pro- tests, the press office said the quotation was an error made by ANSA, an Italian I ■ I I • ■ • news agency. Vance also met with Pope John Paul II. Sources said the discussion was mainly on the situation in the Mid- dle East.

The impact of the decision was heightened when Mark Moshevitz, head of the Eco- nomic Advisory Committee to the government and former president of the Manufacturers Association, announced his resignation. These moves followed on the heels of a Cabinet decision to link 100 per- cent of development loans to industries to the index cost-of-living which would eliminate cheap loans for manufac- turers. The Cabinet's ac- tion was vehemently pro- tested by the Manufac- turers Association, whose president, Ab- raham Shavit, tried to persuade Premier Menahem Begin to have it rescinded. Begin told him the decision was ar- rived at by the demo- cratic process and could not be reversed.
