`Silence' on Falashas Deplored
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Noting that 40 years ago the
international community,
"including most" of the
Jewish world, "closed its
eyes and ears" to the Nazi
slaughter of European
Jewry, a leading activist in
the efforts to rescue Ethio-
pian Jewry from oppressive
conditions and treatment
charged that once again
there exists an "almost uni-
versal silence."
"With a few notable ex-
ceptions, Jewish organiza-
tions and Jewish leaders
have placed the cause of
Ethiopian Jewry near the
bottom of their list of
priorities, and have re-
mained silent," Menahem
Rosensaft, chairman of the
International Network of
Children of Jewish
Holocaust Survivors, told
some 300 people attending a
rally last weekend to bring
the plight of Ethiopian
Jewry to the "public con-
sciousness." Held at the
Lincoln Synagogue here,
the rally was sponsored by
the Network.
"The government of the
United States pleads
helplessness, and is si-
lent. The United Nations
is too busy defaming Is-
rael to concern itself with
the fate of persecuted
Jews ..." Rosenst de-
clared. He added: "Only
the state of Israel exists
as a refuge for the Jews of

The Falashas numbered
250,000 in the 19th Century
and today their number has
dwindled to an estimated
20,000. They live in the
northwestern province of
Gondar which has been the
center of civil war since the
overthrow of Emperor Haile
Selassie in 1972. Thousands
have been killed, many sold
into slavery and an esti-
mated 7,000 are refugees,
according to reports.
Israel COL Up Again
TEL AVIV (JTA) — An
average urban family needs
13,000 shekels ($750) a
month to maintain its
standard of living, com-
pared to 3,680 shekels in
1980, according to figures
released last week by the
Central Bureau of Statis-
tics.
The bureau reported that
the cost of living index rose

by 5.1 percent during
March, the last month of fis-
cal year 1981-1982. The
monthly increase brought
the total for the fiscal year
to 104 percent, a little above
Finance Minister Yoram
Aridor's hoped for two-digit
inflation target.
During the first three
months of the calendar year
the cost of living index rose
by 20.3 percent, for an an-
nual average rate of 112
percent.
Manufacturers and trade
union representatives
signed an agreement for
payment of a 16.6 percent
increase on monthly
salaries for April. The in-
crease is calculated at 80
percent of the cost of living
increase.
