Tel Aviv — Israel's horren-
dous record of traffic fatalities
and injuries has become an
issue of nataional concern.
The Cabinet devoted much of
its July 19 session to the pro-
blem, as Judge Dov Levin,
chairman of the Highway
Safety Council, recited grim
statistics and urged better
driver education and strict
enforcement of traffic rules.
Highway deaths and in-
juries were up from 10,310 in
the first six months of 1986 to
11,230 in the first six months
of this year. Last month's
highway death toll was 42, a
23 percent increase over June
1986. In the first two weeks of
July, 35 people were killed in
24 highway accidents and 131
were seriously injured in 104
accidents.
Carnage on the road is
responsible for more
casualties than terrorist ac-
tivity and all of Israel's wars.
The problem has many
roots: too many vehicles for
too few roads, inadequate in-
spections of vehicles and poor
drivers, according to Police
Minister Haim Barley.
The Central Bureau of
Statistics announced this
month a 5.5 percent increase
in the number of vehicles on
the roads last year. The
number of private cars was
649,000, up about six percent,
and 121,000 trucks, an in-
crease of five percent.

This has resulted in worsen-
ing traffic congestion. A
Ramat Hasharon resident
who returned to Israel after
four years abroad reported his
experience in a letter to a
local newspaper. He wrote
that four years ago the drive
from his home on the out-
skirts of Tel Aviv to his office
in town took between ten-15
minutes. "Now it takes 30-35
minutes on a good day and
over an hour if I get caught in
rush hour," the motorist
wrote.
Police officials say more
traffic police, both uniformed
and plain-clothed, are needed
to catch violators and ease
congestion. Transportation
Minister Chaim Corfu has
complained that the police
were not doing their job.
Barley noted that for the ten
years preceding 1986 traffic
accidents had declined steadi-
ly, with the same police force.
"It's not a matter of the
number of policemen but of
the whole traffic set-up,"
Barley contended.
Annual inspections and
spot checks on the roads
found 50 percent of the
vehicles to be operating in
faulty, frequently dangerous
condition. They are im-
mediately ordered off the road
and re-registered only on pro-
of of repair.

Defections From Israel
Even At The Top

Jerusalem — President
Chaim Herzog has revealed
that during his years as
Israeli Ambassador to the
United Nations, at least 13
staff members of the Israeli
U.N. Mission decided to settle
permanently in the United
States.
The president made this
disclosure during a sym-
posium on emigration which
was held at the Presidential
Residence, according to the
Israel News Bureau. In atten-
dance were forty government
officials, high-ranking Army
officers, academics, econom-
ists and businessmen.
Herzog said that many
leading Israelis have become
cynical about the possibility
of stemming the tide of
emigration. One common at-
titude, Herzog said, is that "to
speak about emigration is
like discussing the weather:
you can talk about it all you

like, but there's not much you
can do to change it."
Minister of Immigrant Ab-
sorption Yaakov Tzur also
sounded a pessimistic note.
He said that the Israeli
public's glorification of "all
things American" has created
expectations which Israeli
society can never fulfill. The
Israeli desire to instantly at-
tain a higher standard of liv-
ing is "a battle which we can
never win."
General Nehemia Dagan,
the Chief Education Officer of
the Israeli Army, complained
that Israeli journalists and
politicians have encouraged
emigration by giving warm
receptions to visiting Israeli
emigrants who became
wealthy abroad. "It takes
years to repair the damage
done by this particular
phenomenon," he charged.
