M • LTER .u.scoe-at. Magen David Adorn In Debt Tel Aviv (JTA) — The Finance Ministry averted supension of ambulance ser- vice in Israel when it agreed to turn over $765,000 to the Magen David Adom to renew its insurance on the vehicles. The MDA, which operates first-aid clinics, blood banks and other paramedical ser- vices in addition to the coun- try's ambulances, last week announced thatits ambulance fleet would be idled because of its inability to pay the in- surance premiums due. The Finance Ministry has frozen some $2 million of MDA funds against tax in- debtedness and overdue pay- ments to the National Insurance Institute. In addi- tion, Travenol, which supplies plastic bags for blood plasma storage, has attached MDA's bank accounts for non- payment of bills. Olympics Out For Israelis Tel Aviv (JTA) — A 3 to 0 •win by Australia over Taiwan dashed the hopes of Israel's national soccer team to play in the Olympic games this summer in Seoul, South Korea. Israel's 1 to 0 victory over New Zealand last week was to no avail. The four-nation Oceania region pre-Olympic playoffs ended with Australia gaining 10 points to Israel's 9. New Zealand came to a poor third with 5 points. Taiwan had none. Israel was forced to play in the Oceania region, because Arab pressure barred it from competing in the Middle East region matches. It will be -playing in the Oceania region in the World Cup soccer tour- naments in 1989. Homosexual Acts Legalized Tel Aviv (JTA) — The Knesset legalized homosex- ual activity between consen- ting adults, and raised to 20 years the maximum penalty for rape of either sex under aggravated circumstances. The amendment to the penal code also bars publica- tion of the name or identify- ing details of the victim of a sex attack, unless the victim gives permission, in court, for details to be published. Homosexual activity was not previously included among the details of sexual crimes in the penal code. 11 MILE & LAHSER Phone: 358-0850 WITH THIS AD '` by appointment for estates of all sizes Inquiries from We have mastered the art of intricate fitting and tailoring.
