With thousands of doctors — more than half the coun- try's medical force — fast- ing to back up their salary demands and scores collaps- ing from weakness, Hadas- sah Hospital closed its Mt.

Hattersley, 49, quit in anger after a 33-31 vote by members to reinstate three party officials recently ousted for publicly making anti-Semitic statements. One of them, Jim Keegstra, Mayor of the village of Eckville, was restored to the office of first vice president from which he was removed after his dismissal from the lcoal high school. Keegstra, a teacher for 14 years, had been preaching to classes that Jews are the root of all evil in the world and that the Holocaust never oc- curred. ment offer as "the same old formula in new dress." Medical students joined the hunger strike Wednes- day and they, along with hundreds of doctors, main- tained a silent vigil outside the Prime Minister's office in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, the Knesset rocked with the din of hurled insults. The Labor opposition supported a proposal for binding arbitration to end the strike. The government appeared willing for a time. It promised to resort to arbi- tration if negotiations fail to produce a settlement in the next two days, but only on condition that the Labor Alignment abstain in a vote on a no-confidence motion submitted by the Hadash Communist Party. But the government withdrew its offer after it was vetoed by Finance Minister Yoram Aridor who is opposed to any sort of salary com- promise that arbitration might produce. Aridor, who insists that the 22 percent national wage increase ceiling .must be maintained at all costs, has threatened to resign if outside arbitrators are brought into the conflict. support a Communist mo- tion." Prime Minister Begin did not speak during the turbu- lent session, but later he announced that he had summoned Aridor and Shostak to resume talks with representatives of the medical association. Begin himself had met with a group of doctors earlier at the Hebrew University- Hadassah Medical Center in Ein Kerem. The doctors told him that the hunger strike would end if he promised binding arbi- tration. But Aridor contin- ued to refuse. He was sup- ported by Interior Minister Yosef Burg. Labor voted for the no- confidence motion which was easily defeated by a 61-50 vote. Health Minister Eliezer Shostak responded with a scathing attack on the Laborites.

The director of Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, one of the country's largest, resigned in protest against the government's delays in dealing with the issues of doctors' salaries and working conditions. The situation was de- scribed as critical for weak or prematurely- born infants who were left in the care of nurses at most hospitals in the absence of pediatricians. In many hospitals, fast- ing doctors were occupy- ing beds, too weak to function. Others were being fed intravenously to maintain minimum strength. The doctors appeared de- termined however to resort to desperate measures to press their demands.
