Atari, headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif., and one of the world's leaders in com- puter software, had planned to open a plant in eastern Asia. But Israel's minister of trade and industry, Moshe Nissim, during a recent visit to the United States, con- vinced Atari's majority stockholder, American Jew- ish businessman Jack Tramiel, to consider Israel. Government officials said Atari's investment in Israel was conditional on the estab- lishment of several sub- sidiary factories here to manufacture parts for a main Atari plant, such as printed circuitry, monitors and software. According to the ministry, the cost of building the new factories or making the necessary improvements to existing ones is between $75 million and $100 million. Israel is offering to bear about half the cost, with the balance coming from private investors enlisted by Tramiel. The Atari plant initially would employ 600 workers, many of them engineers. Within five years, the work force would grow to 1,000. Computer and program sales are projected at $150 million a year. The potential exports from the subsidiary plants employing about 2,000 workers is $300 million dur- ing the first years of opera- tion, eventually reaching $500 million. , , . - .

Nissan's move, following a similar one by Toyota, Japan's largest automotive manufacturer, signals a break in Japan's longtime deferral to Arab boycott pressures, attributed to its dependence on Middle East oil. The announcement, made in the Japanese Times, said Nissan will ship 4,000 to 5,000 small cars to Israel, according to Will Maslow, general counsel of the American Jewish Congress and editor of its monthly Boycott Report. Mr. Maslow quoted the Japanese-language news- paper as saying Nissan's decision was due to the "widespread protest of American Jewish organiza- tions" in reaction to the refusal of Japanese firms to sell cars in Israel. While American Jewish groups have long campaign- ed against Japanese coop- eration with the Arab econ- omic boycott, the cause has most recently been taken up by members of Congress.

The conviction is the first since the act was passed in 1978, according to Marilyn Churley, Ontario's minister of consumer and commercial relations. It sends a strong message to the community that such practices are not acceptable, Ms. Churley said. Bernie Farber, spokesman for the Canadian Jewish Congress, which initiated the complaint against the Science Center, said the decision is "welcome news" to the Jewish community. He commended the provin- cial government for its "swift action." ■ , , Burland, Reiss, Murphy & Rembiesa Inc.
