Gymnastic group's
plan to include
`Palestine' opposed
Caracas (JTA) — Reacting to
reports that the Pan American
Gymnastics Confederation will
support the participation of
"Palestine" in the International
Gymnastics Federation, the Ven-
ezuelan Jewish community has
asked national governmental and
sporting authorities to help block
this development, the world
Jewish Congress (WJC) reported
last week.
According to the Latin Ameri-
can Branch of the WJC, the
President of the Pan American
Confederation, Jorge Ochoa, upon
his return from the organization's
meeting in Havana, told reporters
that the majority of the organiza-
tion's affiliated countries would
vote for the inclusion of "Pales-
tine" in the international Federa-
tion.
Participants at the Havana
meeting were the National Fed-
erations of Brazil,Colombia,
Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and
Venezuela.
In response, the Confederation
of Jewish Associations of Ven-
ezuela, the representative body of
Venezuelan Jewry and the WJC
affiliate here, immediately sent a
letter to Dr. Milena Sardi, Minis-
ter of Youth in Venezuela, as well
as to Domingo Eduardo Vina,
President of the National Sports
Institute.
The letter, signed by the Jewish
Confederation's President, Wal-
ter Czenstochowski, and its
secretary-general, Max Kreisler,
requests intervention so that the
Venezuelan Gymnastics Federa-
tion does not lend its support to
the proposed inclusion of "Pales-
tine."
The letter denounces the effort
to secure membership for "Pales-
tine" as a cover for the PLO, "the
terrorist organization," to infil-
trate an international organiza-
tion. The responsibility of the
massacre of Israeli athletes by
PLO terrorists at the Munich
Olympics is recalled in this con-
nection.

Treasury attacks
economic proposal
Jerusalem (JTA) — Senior
Treasury officials have attacked
the three-stage plan for economic
recovery submitted to the Cabinet
by the Governor of the Bank of
Israel, Moshe Mandelbaum.
They maintained that the eco-
nomic crisis demands a "one blow"
solution, not a gradual approach
that in the end might not work.
Mandelbaum proposed success-
ive measures, starting with
budget cuts, then a package of
taxes, wage and price controls,
and finally a "new economic or-
der" that would maintain a low
level of inflation.
Treasury officials said that all
of those measures should be im-
posed simultaneously. They
warned that Mandelbaum's plan
could misfire resulting in further
economic instability and an even
higher inflation rate.
At the moment, however,
neither approach has been under-
taken.
