Israel Tightens Tax. Laws
and Extends Budget Cuts

An Arab community cen-
ter in Dearborn was gutted
by a fire early Sunday which

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Israeli government,
after nearly two weeks of
debate on budget cuts, fi-
nally made public Tuesday
a list of new economic
measures to balance the na-
tional budget, but most of
them are still subject to ap-
proval by either the Knesset
Finance Committee or the
full Knesset.
Two of the major deci-
sions are to cut back on gov-
ernment financing of politi-
cal parties and to reverse an
earlier decision to designate
the Oct. 25 municipal elec-
tions a national vacation
day. Officials said the two
decisions should be worth
three to four billion Shekels
($80 million) — equivalent
to half the cuts this year in
the Defense Ministry
budget.
A number of other tenta-
tively approved steps await
Knesset action. One is abol-
ition of allowances for
births, -unless the govern-
ment can find another
source of funds for this
grant. Another is abolition
of exemption for municipal
taxes for Israelis in the
armed forces.
Child allowances for
the first two children in a
family of up to three chil-
dren will be taxable, ex-
cept for low-income
families. The fees for
water will be updated at
the same rate as those for
electricity. Income
earned abroad will be
taxable at the same rate
as local income. Income
taxes on irregular earn-
ings, such as writers' fees
and payments to artists,

fire investigators termed as
being of "suspicious origin."
Investigators said the fire
at the Arab Community
Center for Economic and
Social Services (ACCESS)
on Salina may have been set
with fuel oil in the base-
ment.
Four firemen were in-
jured as they battled the
two-alarm blaze. All were
treated and released from
an area hospital.
The center; founded in
1971 to deal with problems
faced by Arab immigrants
in the Detroit area, is owned
by the Yemeni .Benevolent
Society. Rent and utilities
are paid with a federal
block grant by the city of
Dearborn. The center pro-
vides meals for about 150
families each day, according
to ACCESS vice president
Aliya Hassen. The center
served more than 8,000
people during the federaal
government's cheese
giveaway program recently,
she said.
