The Cabinet is scheduled to con- vene a special session to dis- cuss the growing economic crisis and to consider Fi- nance Minister Yigal Cohen-Orgad's economic plans and the proposed trimmed budget for the new fiscal year. On Tuesday, all postal services were paralyzed as 3,500 post office employees, including workers at the post office banks, stayed at home. Labor and Welfare Minis- try employees also contin- ued their partial work stop- page which involves not dealing with the public or marking payments. Income tax and property tax work- ers also continued their strike. Administrative em- ployees in government hos- pitals have threatened to stop work if they are not granted a 5,000 Shekel ($50) allowance. They have also threatened to halt work on the 24th of each month in the future if cuts in over- time allowances are not re- stored. Orgad, addressing the Knesset Economic Corn- mittee, warned that un- less Israel reduces the de- ficit in its balance of payments by $1 billion it will not be able to find additional sources of financing to repay loans. Gad Yaacobi, chairman of the Economic Committee, said at the same session that the present economic hardships were a direct out- come of the "stupid eco- nomic policy of the govern- ment in the past few years." He predicted that in 1984 inflation will soar to 300 percent. Under such cir- cumstances, he warned, the economy will become paralyzed. The growing labor unrest in Israel came in spite of a 17.9 percent interim cost- of-living adjustment.
