Israel Denies
Drug Trade Aid

Athens (JTA) — Israel has
angrily denied a Greek
media report which says it is
selling chemicals to the
heroin industry in a prov-
ince of former Yugoslavia.
The Israeli Embassy in the
Greek capital termed
"outrageous" a television
report that Israel is supply-
ing anhydride acid to help
convert poppy juice to heroin
at a secret manufacturing
site in Skopje, Macedonia.
Israeli Ambassador David
Sasson will reiterate Israel's
anger over the report in a
meeting with Greek Foreign
Minister Mihalis
Papakonstantinu, an em-
bassy spokesman said.
The report came as Greece
nervously watched develop-
ments in neighboring
Yugoslavia. It is concerned
at the prospect of being
dragged into hostilities if
tensions between Macedonia
-end Kosovo province erupt
into a shooting war that
could also involve Albania.
Greece is particularly
angered by the desire of
Macedonia to declare in-
dependence under that
name, which Greece claims
for its own northern prov-
.„ ,,ce.
A report on the Greek
television channel MEGA
said intelligence authorities
in an unnamed country sin-
gled out Israel as the
chemical supplier for a plant
nrocessing hashish and
heroin at a top secret
military base named Mar-
shall Tito, which is run by
carefully screened troops.
The report said its drugs
are sold to the Italian Mafia
and the money used to buy
,veapons from Russia,
Bulgaria and Turkey. It said
Israel might be shipping the
chemical through Syria to
the Greek port of Volos and
then overland to Skopje.
An Israeli Embassy state-
Went said the television
report alleging Israel was
"cooperating with its enemy
Syria to export to a third
country a chemical it doesn't
produce would be a good joke
if the matter were not so

One of the groups foremost
in its unequivocal support of
Israel has been the AFL-
CIO. Its support for the Jew-
ish State dates back to 1886,
when Samuel Gompers,
founder of the American
Federation of Labor, was a
,trong advocate of a Jewish
State in Palestine.
