Gromyko Blames Israel NEW YORK (JTA) — percent compared to 17.5 for Middle East Problems The cost of living index in percent the latest four Israel rose only 3.9 percent in August, encouraging hope that 1980's triple-digit inflation will be reduced to double-digit inflation this year, it was reported by bavid Rotlevy, Israel's Eco- nomic Minister to the U.S. Current indications are that Israel's inflation will run to about 95 percent this year, compared to 133 per- cent in 1980, Rotlevy said. He released the following month-by-month figures for the current year showing that inflation for the first four months of 1981 was 30 months: January, 7.3 percent; February, 5.5; March, 4.8; April 10.7; May 3.3; June, 2.7; July 6.1; and August, 3.9. "Thus far this year, Is- rael's inflation rate is 53 percent, compared to 69 percent for the first eight months of 1980," Rotlevy said, adding: "We have every reason to expect that, even with the usual rise in the inflation rate during the last four months of the year, Israel will no longer suffer from triple-digit inflation." r LIFE'S SPECIAL EVENTS SHOULD BE RECORDED FOREVER VIDEO TAPE YOUR SPECIAL OCCASION • Weddings • Bar Mitzvas • Private Parties • Anniversaries • Birthdays • Etc. See Our FULL-SERVICE Studio UNITED NATIONS (JTA) — The Soviet Union The Soviet Foreign Minister blamed Israel directly for the fact that the situation in the Mid- dle East "remains a dangerous one." He ac- cused "Israel's ruling circles" of persisting in their expansionist policies and charged that they "do not stop their brutal terror against the people of Lebanon, while influential forces outside the area actually encour- age this policy and seek to follow the pattern of the anti-Arab Camp David deal." Gromyko also declared that "the struggle of the Arab peoples to defend their legitimate rights, trampled under foot as a result of Is- rael's aggression, elicits understanding and support on the part of an over- whelming majority of coun- tries." said Tuesday that peace in the Middle East can be as- sured "only through a com- prehenSive political settle- ment, one which would not infringe upon the rights of any country or people of that region." In his address to the UN General Assembly, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said that such a Middle East peace could be reached "through conven- ing an international confer- ence with the participation of all parties concerned. Gromyko declared that a Middle East settlement "must envisage withdrawal of Israeli troops from all Arab territories occupied since 1967 and the exercise of the national rights of the Arab people of Palestine, including the right to estab- lish their own state." Argentina's Fiscal Policy Endangers WZO Program LEGAL TAPES, INC. Established 10 years JERUSALEM (JTA) — Currency reform in Argen- tina has placed an impor- tant program to bring Latin 35 - Video 22530 W. 8 Mile Rd. or 353-3355 Southfield American Jewish youths to Israel in danger, Avraham Katz, chairman of the World Zionist Organiza- tion's youth department, told the WZO Executive last week. He said only 200 youngsters would arrive in Israel this year under the program, known as "Opera- tion Tapuz," compared to 800 from Argentina last year. According to Katz, the dollar cost of the program remains the same but the devaluation of Argentine currency has increased costs locally by 500 percent. Katz stressed the impor- tance of the program. He said many of the youths brought over stayed in Is- rael for long-term projects and a substantial number remained permanently. Unless the WZO treas- ury finds a solution, "we would lose an asset," Katz said. Most of the ses- sion was devoted to var- ious summer projects sponsored by the WZO and there was a shared concern among the de- partment heads over the drop in the number of participants due primar- ily to rising costs. WZO chairman Leon Dulzin appointed a commit- tee to study the issue and come up with recom- mendations.
