Histadrut Wage Agreement
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
wage agreement reached
between Histadrut and pri-
vate employers last Friday
was approved by the
Ministerial Economic
Committee Monday for civil
servants and other em-
ployees in the public sector.
The pact, signed by His-
tadrut Secretary General
Yeruham Meshel and Av-
raham Shavit, chairman of
the manufacturers Associa-
tion, calls for a 7.5 percent
wage hike, retroactive to
April and an identical in-
crease to be paid later in the
year.
xovernment officials
ssed that the wage
_ eement was compatible
with the Treasury's policy of
protecting the real value of
wages against inflation
while preventing a rise in
the real value which could
be inflationary. The in-
crease will be paid next
month, coincidental with
the latest cost of living
allowance which falls due in
July.
This means that Israeli
wage-earners will have
especially fat pay-checks
next month. Some
economists believe the
new wage accords will
send the economy into a
sharper inflationary spi-
ral. To counter this, the
Ministerial Economic
Committee is planning

Halakhic View
of Birth Control
Stated by Goren
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi
Shlomo Goren explained
the halakhic view on abor-
tion and birth control in a
television interview last
week. He said that abortion
was permissible only in
cases where the mother's
health might be endangered
or where it can be estab-
lished with certainty that
the child would be born with
an incurable illness.
He said halakha opposed
family planning because
Jews were "commanded" to
"be fruitful and multiply"
and because the Jewish
population must be in-
creased. However, he said,
birth control methods were
permitted "for a reasonable
period" in cases where a
couple already has a
number of children.
French Leader Tells Israel
to Return to 1967 Borders
PARIS (JTA) — French
President Valery Giscard
d'Estaing called last week
for Israel's withdrawal to its
pre-June 1967 borders and
warned that the interna-
tional "guarantees" for "just
and recognized borders"
exclude the territories
occupied by Israel in 1967.
Giscard, who was ad-
dressing a press conference,
said that the Venice dec-
laration by the prime minis-
ters of the nine European
Economic Community
(EEC) countries, calling for
"self-
Palestinian
was
determination,"
adopted without any diffi-
culty. He added, in reply to a
question, that the nine were
now preparing diplomatic
steps to put their declara-
tion into practical effect but
refused to say what those
moved may be or when they
will occur.
The French President,
who artfully avoided using
the words "Palestinian
state," said that Palestinian
recognition of Israel and Is-
rael's recognition of Pales-
tinian "rights" must take
place within the framework
of a global peace settlement.
The basis for any such set-
tlement, Giscard said, was
"Israel's acceptance that it
should evacuate the ter-
ritories."

Neo-Nazi Decline
BONN (JTA) — Neo-
Nazism is on the decline and
in disarray in West Ger-
many, according to Interior
Minister Gerhard Baum.
He told the Bundestag
last week that the National
Democratic Party (NDP),
which achieved some local
electoral successes in the
early 1970s, is steadily los-
ing members. He said other
neo-Nazi political organiza-
tions are divided and dis-
persed.
Baum reported that the
use of violence by neo-Nazi
groups has diminished over
the past two years and is of
less concern to the
authorities. However, he
added, while the number of
neo-Nazi activists has been
reduced, they have become
more aggressive and are in-
creasingly involved in polit-
ically motivated terrorism.
