Israeli Shipping
Line to Enlarge
Its Cargo Fleet

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Zim Lines, Israel's national
shipping company, is
enlarging its fleet of spe-
cialized cargo carriers de-
spite the world-wide ship-
ping slump. But it is doing
so with caution by buying
rather than building new
vessels although the price of
tonnage is down.
The company recently
purchased two conventional
cargo ships built in
Gadansk, Poland in 1973,
for Israel's citrus export
trade. The '12,000 dead-
weight ton vessels have
been modified at the Haifa
Shipyards to carry uncrated
cars, refrigerated cargo and
1,000 tons of liquid cargo on
their return trips from
Eu e. Outward, each has
a ca acity of 180,000 crates
of citrus. They were re-
named Tapuz and Hadar.
Zim.has also purchased a
60,000 deadweight ton dry
bulk carrier, the first of a
series of ships intended to
replace the company's older
30,000 ton bulk carriers.

Social Security
Information Hit

NEW YORK — Handwr-
inging over alleged long-
term financial instability in
the Social Security system
stems largely from -misin-
formation and "scare tac-
tics" employed by politi-
cians for partisan purposes
says a resolution of the
American Jewish Congress.
The resolution says that
even with no increase in the
present schedule of benefits
or tax rates, aggregate tax
collections can cover benefit
payments for the next 43
years, except for a "temp-or-
ary shortfall" over the next
seven years according to es-
timates by the trustees of
the Social Security system
