layed at the urging of the
Knesset Presidium because
of Premier Menahem Be-
gin's illness but could not be
postponed any longer be-
cause the Knesset adjourns
for its summer recess this
week.
The debate was calm in
contrast to the flaring
tempers that marked re-
cent Knesset delibera-
tions. Ehrlich, speaking
for the government, said
there was no alternative
to reducing price sub-
sidies but the govern-
ment is doing so
gradually in order to
prevent unemployment
and unnecessary shocks
to the economy.
Following the vote,
Ehrlich announced offi-
cially the dismissal of
Yehezkel Flomin, his de-
puty finance minister, who
was the most outspoken cri-
tic of his economic policies
within the Liberal Party.
Flomin took an "extended
leave" earlier this month to
protest the government's
economic program. He was
not present during the
Knesset debate.
The Central Committee
oT the Liberal Party had
previously given the gov-
ernment a 90-day reprieve
in which to accept the
party's stringent guidelines
on the economy or face the
resignations of the four Lib-
eral ministers from Begin's
Cabinet.
The two-thirds majority
vote by the Central Com-
mittee in Tel Aviv last
Thursday night averted an
immediate crisis that could
have brought down Begin's
government and precipi-
tated new elections.
The Central Committee
voted 86-49 against a
resolution by the party's
young guard calling for
the immediate resigna-
tion of the Liberal minis-
ters, including Ehrlich,
the party's leader.
The 90-day compromise
was worked out by the Lib-
erals' No. 2 man, Leon Dul-
zin, chairman of the World
Zionist Organization and
Jewish Agency Executives.
Dulzin said it nevertheless
