Prague (JTA) — Jewish
community leaders in the
Czech Republic are pro-
testing recently drafted
_legislation to return con-
fiscated Jewish property,
saying the measures do not
go far enough.
On Jan. 13, Czech Prime
Minister Vaclav Klaus an-
nounced that legislation had
been drafted calling for the
return of all functioning
synagogues and all Jewish
cemeteries to the country's
dwindling Jewish commun-
ity.
But the Federation of Jew-
ish Communities here has
charged that the draft
legislation is not satisfactory
and that there is a substan-
tial amount of property still
to be returned to its original
Jewish owners.
Jewish leaders here have
long complained that Klaus'
party, the Civic Democratic
Party, has ignored their
calls for the return of Jewish
property seized by Nazi
Germany and by

According to the latest
draft legislation, which still
has to be approved by
Parliament, non-functioning
synagogues held by chur-
ches, non-governmental
organizations and private
persons would not be return-
ed to the Jewish community.
"It's queer and hardly
understandable why the
government was prepared to
return synagogues where
services are held, but refus-
ed to return synagogues
used now as storehouses of
potatoes," said Viktor
Dobal, a member of the
Czech Parliament.
The Jewish community
here currently numbers
about 3,0 0 0 members.
Before World War II, there
were approximately 118,000
Jews living here. ❑

Jerusalem (JTA) — The re-
cent ups and downs of the
Israeli stock exchange —
which have temporarily
knocked the peace process
off the front pages in Israel
— have given investors the
jitters, just when Israel is
trying to lure them with the
promise of peace in the re-
gion.
On Feb. 21, losses at the
Tel Aviv Stock Exchange
averaged 5 percent, but by
Feb. 22, the market posted
across-the-board gains of a
similar percentage amount,
thereby adding confusion to
the near-panic that had set
in.
During February as a
whole, market losses eroded
some $12 billion from the
value of Israeli shares,
which dropped from a total
value of approximately $55
billion to $43 billion.
From July 1993 to the
year's end, the Israeli stock
market rose some 40 per-
cent, and prices held firm
through the first month of
this year.
The massive February
falls were attributed to
statements by market in-
siders that shares were
overvalued, and also to the
government's recent stolid
refusal to intervene in the
market.
Also cited as a cause of the
recent market plunge were
investigations launched by
the stock exchange itself and
by the police into allegations
of stock-price manipulations

by mutual fund portfolio
managers and traders.
With interest rates around
the world almost uniformly
low, and with peace ap-
parently just over the hor-
izon in the Middle East,
Israel has rapidly attained a
place for itself among the
lists of "emerging markets"
in major American and Eu-
ropean financial publica-
tions. ❑
