Israel Keeps Special Tax Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel's Cabinet, meeting at its regular weekly session here, decided to extend for another year the special immigration-absorption tax as well as the compulsory savings plan. The latter is designed to curb inflation. Both the tax nnd the savings plan were to have expired next March 31. At the same time, the Cabinet decided once again to postpone discussion of the plan to inaugurate educational television in Israel. The Parliament failed to vote on the plan last week, referring it to the Cabinet. The TV issue was postponed because , both its principal advocate Education Minister Abba Eban and its principal opponent Prime \Minister David BenGurion were Jewish Press absent from the meeting. Mr. Eban is in Geneva. Mr. Ben-Gurion has been in bed with a severe cold for the past 10 days, but is expected back at his office here this week.

Poets Lash Anti-Semitjsm Before 9,000 in Moscow London (JTA) — About 9,000 persons crowded a Moscow stadium where poets read their •works which, under the guise of attacking Stalinism, castigated anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union. One of the poets, the famous Alexander Beilin, read a poem entitled "Pappa's Friends," in which he noted that the Stalin regime carried out attacks "against various groups." His verse referred to "hypocrites" who were Stalinists and now "weep over their victims." , Two women poets, Bina Kazakova and Yuna Maritz, spoke of anti-Semitism openly. Miss Kazakova read a poem hitting at the Nazi holocaust, declaring that "Jews and Christians mixed their blood," and asserting that her grandfather was a Jew. Miss Maritz read a poem .
eulogizing Anne Frank. The crowd in the stadium, filled to capacity, greeted Miss Maritz's poem with "stunned, dramatic silence of approbation," according to the Moscow dispatch received here.
