The vote, 249-15 with 165 abstentions, cultninated weeks of debate during which the 2,000 delegates representing governments, workers and employers de- voted 90 percent of their time to the Arab-Israeli dis- pute, neglecting the legiti- mate concerns of the United Nations affiliated labor body. The politicization of the conference became clear from the moment the Secretariat permitted the Arab-sponsored anti-Israel draft to be placed on the agenda without any effec- tive opposition by the United States. The Ameri- cans failed to raise their voices in protest despite U.S. Secretary of Labor F. Ray Marshall's promise to Israeli Labor F. Ray Mar- shall's proMise to Israeli Labor Minister Israel Katz that the Americans would put up a fight. Ironically, the U.S. walked out of the ILO two yeais ago in protest against such politiciza- tion. It returned this year, with much fanfare, after ostensibly having been convinced that the ILO would mend its ways and no loinger engage in purely political debates. When the session opened, the big question was would the Americans walk out again if the con- ference turned into a forum for anti-Israel polemics. "The American eagle turned into a chicken," one Western correspondent ob- served when, during the de- bate over the agenda, the U.S. remained silent. Some of the American delegates explained that they had wanted to speak but were told that the speakers' list was closed for lack of time. Others said they did a lot of lobbying. But the fact re- mained that the Americans did not fight to keep the resolution off the agenda and that attitude worried the Israeli as well as the Western delegations. Fran- cis Blanchard, director gen- eral of the ILO, acknowl- edged in a television inter- view that he was worried about the organization's fu- ture. "The politicization of the conference made it impossi- ble to tackle many of the ILO's real problems and there is a danger that the ILO will cease to be what it is meant to be and will deal only in political matters," he said. Yet many observers claimed that Blanchard did not do as much as he might have to stop the Arab reso- lution from being pre- sented. According to the voting procedures, negative votes do not count and if the 15 had abstained, the neces- sary quorum would not have been attained. Israel was supported by Latin American coun- tries and the Western Europeans. Thanks to Histadrut and the Inter- national Confederation of Free Trade • Unions (ICFTU), many worker delegate's sided with Is- rael while their govern- ments supported the anti-Israel move.

The basic issue is the in- sistence by the Orthodox that the growing secular • community conform to their way of life. The non- observant charge religious coercion by the municipal leaders who are Orthodox. The immediate cause of the disturbances was the municipal swimming pool which is open six days a . week — three days for men and three days for women. The secular community has not demanded that the pool be kept open off the Sab- bath, but they insist that it be open to men and women on the same days so that families can enjoy the facility together. - , The Orthodox will not tolerate mixed swim- ming. The Orthodox also force all children in the town to attend a religious school — the only one in Netivot. The non- religoius population has demanded its right to a secular, co-educational school. Otherwise, they are forced to send their youngsters to schools in other communities which poses problems and ex- penses in addition to the taxes they pay in Netivot.
