Knesset to Study Demands
of Striking Soviet Emigres

TEL AVIV (JTA) — New
immigrants, most of them
from the Soviet Union, who
have been on strike at
Jewish Agency absorption
centers have agreed to call
off their protest for one
week to allow a special sub-
committee of the Knesset
Aliya and Absorption
Committee to study their
demands for better housing
and jobs.
At the same time the
situation will also be dis-
cussed by the coordinating
committee of the Jewish
Agency • and the govern-
ment. The strikers prom-
ised to call of their protest
completely if the govern-
ment and the Jewish
Agency carry out the
recommendations of the
subcommittee.
The subcommittee is
made up of Prof. Yosef Rom
of Likud and veteran
Mapam leader Meir Talmi.
, Rom, meanwhile, has ca-
bled Nissim Gaon, chair-
man of the board of trustees
of Ben Gurion University of
the Negev, and Avraham
Admon, chairman of the

executive, demanding they
dismiss Yosef Tekoah as
president of the university
because of statements he
has made in support of the
strikers. Tekoah is chair-
man of the Russian Immig-
rant Association in Israel.
Rom charged that
Tekoah seemed to be
comparing absorption
and housing minister
David Levy to Stalin and
other Soviet leaders
when he declared,
"These people (Soviet
immigrants) didn't fear
Stalin, they didn't fear
Krushchev, and they
didn't fear Brezhnev.
They certainly aren't af-
raid of Levy."
Comnienting on Rom's
demand he be dismissed,
Tekoah said that even if his
own Labor Party turned
against him he would con-
tinue to struggle on behalf
of the newimmigrants. The
Labor Alignment, mean-
while, has changed its mind
about asking for a special
Knesset session, to discuss
the problems of new immig-
rants.
