tfon until controls were clamped on again. *'■ \ ’- One reason the government was unable to pay salaries on schedule last month was that it Had to meet wage h increases tied in with the rise in the cost-of-living index. Another wps lagging income. Government income tax collections itjrie inefficient to the degree that Only employees of the government • or public institutions pay what they are supposed to. Attempia to streamline collection so far ate meeting with little success. As iit is, taxation is high in Israel. Employees!are subject to deductions amounting to as much as 25% of their salaries.

InctHeaised unemployment—there are 35,300 unemployed now—plus the rising cost of living has swelled th« ranks of the “back to the land”||novement to an unprecedented! . degree, The General Federation. of Labor — Histadrut — has settled 1,000 families in various types of fam> villages during the last six months.

Fbuib thousand families are registered for farm settlement. Slightly more than half of these have homes and jobs in towns. About a fourth are unemployed. Under General auspices, 275 families Have been settled on farms during th% last three years. Prijne considerations of these settlers are economic. They are given jong-tenn. easy loans by government and Jewish Agency institutions which enable them to-get bn their feet almost at once. Oldtimers, who remember the days .of agricultural settlements serve ;as advisers, and instructors for these people. Rather than stress-i the idealistic motives for settling on the land, as used to bi& cajhe. organizers of the movement are placing emphasis on h full lajrder and economic independiff- I ’ ' . .

make the possession of a cow and a few chickens seem dike a dreata come true. ' | The basio trouble is a lack of (foreign currency with which 1 to ! buy goods and raw material. All foreign exchange deals are Handled by the Ministry of Finance. The General Zionists have long advocated the gradual lifting of foreign currency! controls. Eliahu Eliashar, one of the GenF eral Zionists’ policy-makers, said that foreign investors anc| local people with mAhey will be more apt to establish new business enterprises, if they can arrange their own exchange of foreign money into Israeli currency instead of having to adhere to rates of exchange fixed by the government. Since many members of the IsiiaeL Labor party are being won over to. t|Hs point Os view, a phange in government policy in the nehr f|uti>re seems inevitable. The Look DETROIT. UP —Detective Edwaifd G. i Boggs couldn’t- bear to watch Mrs. Edward Gitrie cry as she told him how her purse had tyeep snatched, sb he looked away during the recital—looked just in time to see a man with his hands on the pocketbook of another woman. Mrs. Gitrie's purse was found on the culprit. Wihdow Pain TOLEDO, 0., t’P — While being treated at Mercy hospital for cuts, Mrs, Ida M. Gregory, 35, explained that she lost control while jitterbugging and went flying through a full-length window. Then the undismayed woman returned to the party. He'll Take The Credit KETCHIKAN, Alaska, UP —One Alaskam old-timer takes issue with others who moan that the money ttyey haV\<? been saving through the yeprs now has less value. Jim Pitcher says: “They are taking an altogether wrong view, for in the spcfilled ‘good old days’ my credit rating was almost nil and npw it lias soared to almost unbelievable beights.’\ . j ■- — ’’Corn” generally refers to the Important cereal crop of a. given region. |ln England, corn means oats; in Australia and the United" States, corn-on-the-cob, or maize.
