Jerusalem (JTA) — Israelis woke up to the New Year to find their seaports paralyzed by a walk-out of maritime of- ficers, factories shut down by work stopages protesting the lifting of price controls and the threat of major strikes by engineers and government hospital employes that could disrupt the nation's communications, cut off water and electric supplies and curtail health services at 22 government hospitals. The grim labor picture oc' cupied the attention of the Cabinet which has appealed to the . engineers and hospital Workers to call off their strike" threats. Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir was scheduled to hold another meeting with the representatives' of 30,000 engineers and technicians who are demanding a higher wage scale. The maritime walk-out stemmed from Histadrut's refusal to recognize the Maritime Officers Association, a union established by licensed officers who had previously belonged to the general maritime union.

Wage Demands The dispute with the engineers and technicians is by far the most serious facing Israel, not only because of the disastrous effects of a power and communications black-out but. because its outcome will set the standard for wage demands in other sectors, notably academician's," journalists and non-government technicians. Price Controls The termination of general price controls that had been in effect since Aug. 1971, set -off a wave of protests which found expression in two-hour work stoppages at factories all over the country.

The formal Israeli tone was set by President Zalman Shazar in a cableTto Thailand's King, declaring that "by a combination of patience, good judgment and unyielding firmness, your authorities averted what might have iieen a human disaster of far-reaching implication."

French Gdv'f Split Over Welcome to Premier Meir . Paris (JTA) — The French government appeared divided over how to treat Israeli Premier Gold Meir's visit to Paris next month. One source said that France would "grant all the standard courtesies" to Mrs; Meir which are believed to include a meeting with French Premier Pierre Messmer. But some government circles expressed displeasure over Mrs. Meir's visit during the heat of the French election campaign and indicated that it should be ignored officially.
t h e s e implications indicated that she was anxious to renew top level contacts with French government leaders. FrancoIsraeli contacts have remained on a low governmental level since the late President Charles deGaulle embargoed arms shipments to Israel after the SixDay War. .

Many Come-Few Leave By CARL ALFEItT Haifa —Several readers have written expressing concern over reports that some immigrants from Russia have left Israel, and that others are having adjustment and integration problems. It is true that there are problems of various kinds with the new immigrants from R u s s i a , but the situation should be reviewed in proper perspective. Last year there were close to 15,000 immigrants from the Soviet Union. This year's figure will be more than twice that. Jf someone were to tell me that 45,000 new' arrivals in ' any country had all been integrated without difficulty and that none had left I should be mighty suspicious. ' When we deal with thousands of people there are bound to be a certain percentage of ^misfits, chronic complainers, psychological or psychiatric cases, restless individuals who can dot adapt themselves to a new situation.-Under the circumstances, it is amazing that so few Russian Jews have left'Israel—no more than a few dozens in all. • Nor should we put it beyond the-realm of possibility that these also included Soviet -agents who had been planted among the immi' grants for just such purpose. The history of immigration to Israel reveals a succession of adjustment problems, and it is enlightening to review some of them. In the mid-1920's there was a rising wave of immigration to Palestine from Poland. Yet the economic difficulties which overtook the country in the latter part of that decade brought disappointment and disillusionment to
many of these immigrants, and thousands of them returned to Poland. There they remained until caught up in the Holocaust. The German Jews who fled from Hitler in the following decade had enormous problems in Israel. Business, industrial and professional people were not easily absorbed in the economic milieu of Palestine, and it was commonplace for German Ph.D.'s to drive buses or wait on lables in restaurants. The veteran Jewish community ridiculed the newcomers, and did not make their integration any easier. Time did its work, and the Germans helped revolutionize the economic structure of the country. There were problems when the Romanians came in large numbers. There were difficulties in the absorption of Jews from Morocco, Even the peaceful, almost docile Yemenites had complaints in their day. The fact is that each group of immigrants has its problems because of the different cultural, social or economic backgrounds. It could not be otherwise. If a large number of; Americans were to come to Israel they too would have problems, as indeed many of them already do. Hence the press reports about misunderstandings with Russian Jews, or special difficulties which they seem to be having should be viewed in this light. It should' be remembered that they come from an environment in which they have learned to expect that the government, will do everything for them as a matter of right. Further, most of them are completely lacking in Jewish background of even the most superficial kind. With it all they are extremely valuable human material, deeply devoted to Israel, anxious to help the state and to succeed themselves. They will overcome their adjustment pains.

The Mlshalls—at home—with the welcome trio.
Israel Welcomes Trio It is safe to predict that "Zero Population Growth" is one slogan that will gain no acceptance in Israel, where memories of the Holocaust as well as the needs of security and development induce people to welcome many '-new arrivals." Very concrete evidence of this was given to Rachel and Isaac Mishali of Jerusalem's Katamon quarter, whose triplets emitted their first shrill greetings to Israeli society in Shaare Zedek Hospital's Maternity Department. The Mishali? were a childless couple who suddenly found themselves members of a family of five. Isaac is a general maintenance man at Artists' House in Jerusalem.' Though happy to have three new family members, there was no doubt that Isaac had some problems along with his blessed events. Shaare Zedek's maternity nurse, Matli Bar Shalom, recognizing this, organized a collection. Manufacturers in the babygoods line, and-other companies responded immediately. Tnuva, Israel'sJargest dairy product distributor, pledged 1,000 bottles ol milk (sequentially delivered, of course). Other companies provided towels^ blankets, diapers, assorted baby products, a bassi-. nette, cribs and a pram for three, ' . ,

Gallup Poll Shows Greater Approval of Mixed! Marriage New York (ZINS)-~American society is showing greater tolerance for interracial and inter-faith marriages,. according to a recent Gallup survey that compared contemporary findings with those obtained 4 years ago in a similar survey. Approval by adults of marriages between whites and blacks has risen from 20 per cent in 1968 to 29 per cent today. Approval of marriages between Jews and non-Jews climbed from 59 per cent to 67 per cent, while approval of marriages between Protestants and Catholics has grown from
63 per centJn J068 tQ .72 per_ cent at the present time. Increased tolerance in the last 4 years is evident at all levels of society and in all geographical sectors, including the Southern states. Americans were found to show greater tolerance for inter-f a i t h marriages between Jews and non-Jews than citl- ; zens, in most of the other nations, included in the 1968 findings. Only the Swedes, Finns and the French were more tolerant, while people in 9 other nations were less tolerant than Americans. •'

The Top Jewish Stories '
By Joseph Polakoff A challenge to any news editor would be for him to list the 10 or 15 "most important events" of 1972 directly affecting world Jewry. When trends as well as events are made a part of the annual year-end evaluation of developments the task becomes even more diffi• cult and the tendency to .substitute drama for significance. , heightens. • In some instances the sensational and the meaningful overlap into something super—like the departure in July of the. bulk of Soviet forces from Egypt and the arrival during the year of more than 30,000 Soviet Jews in Israel. Nevertheless, the list for 1972 .must have at its top the emigration of Soviet Jews as " the" year's most"'significant' development. • After that comes.the Soviet withdrawal last July of nearly all its military f o r c e s from Egypt at the Cairo govern• merit's behest, which immediately altered the specter of superpower confrontation in the Middle East from possibil' ity plus to possibility minus. Into this picture comes "Nix' lnger." The Soviet exit from the Nile followed the summit conference in Moscow. What was said there on the Middle .East and Soviet Jewry, not to mention Vietnam, etc., is buried in the White House and Kremlin fries for, at least ten and probably 20 years. But since the • Nixon-Kissin• gcr "partnership," as Max Lerner (falls'it, "is one of the ' great events of our time, pos, sibly of profound ^meaning for world h i s t o r y , " Kissinger's . emergence as the principal ad' visor and negotiator1 in foreign affairs for the h e a d of the world's foremost power in a year of so many climactic political events must rank on the list of developments of high importance to Jewry. • Since World War II, sympathy for Jews and the Jewish State has been almost universal in the West. This no longer Is the case. Soviet and Arab
propaganda, together with native latent hostility and commercial o p p o r t u n i s m , have changed what was an almost totally pro-Jewish outlook. Attacks on Zionism, which usually is a code word for Jewishness, together with apologies for the murderous Arab terrorists, have been commonplace. A m e r icans generally continue staunchly to support Israel and Soviet Jewry, but the growth of antipathy elsewhere must be rated high in the trends of 1972. Top rank in developments cannot be denied the amazing rise of intermarriages—48 percent—this year. This raised a question whether most of those so intermarried—even though nearly 96 percent of the children in these "Jewish house" holds" are Jewish—would be eligible if they so chose, to "return" to Israel under present religious laws there. High places on the list also must be given to the trend of education among Jews with about 350,000 of them on, college campuses in 1972, while 80.000 children are enrolled in 420,Jewish day schools. The media's focus on Jews in U.S. politics and on issues that supposedly attract them ran far out of proportion to realism in the face of pleas from Jewish leadership that Jews are individuals and would vote as kuch on the issues. The outpouring on these topics puts it on the list together with the favorable position towards Israel and Soviet Jewry by both major candidates and their •parties', platforms. . •'Returning to the international scene, the significance of the Middle East's cease-fire now in its third year, to Israel's well-being is apparent. The killing of 26 and wounding of 70 at Lod Airport on May 30 by Japanese, gunmen associated with Arab terrorism; the slaughter of 11 Israeli athletes at Munich on Sept. 5 by Arab killers;.and the rash of letter bombs and skyjackings aroused great sympathy for Israel and tho victims', fam-

Rabbi Raps Isolation In Jewish Life Washington (JTA) - Rabbi Benjamin Kahn, executive vicepresident of B'nai B'rith, criticized the "turning inward attitudes"-in Jewish life that "create self-isolation" from the social ills of the nation and reflect a. "diminution of faith in the democratic process and an attitude of futility toward possible i m p r o v e m e n t a n d change." Rabbi Kahn said that he considered "valid and necessary" Jewish opposition to preferential quotas and other forms of preference to remove economic and educational barriers. But he said it was not valid for Jews to isolate themselves from the civil rights movement in which Jews themselves have a stake. "Self-interest is a valid concern but when it becomes the dominant motivation of Jewish activists isolated from the rest of the community, it runs counter to Jewish tradition and ceases to be good-self-interest," he said.

Police sources said both livneh and Lerman were not directly connected with the main spy group. But it was reported that a special messenger of the Syrian intelligence bureau had
come to visit Livneh and Lerman and -suggested they join the "revolutionary movement" to "oust the Zionist conquering forces from Palestine." According to police sources, both Lerman and Livneh rejected the suggestion but they did not inform Israeli authorities about the.contact, an ofr fense in itself. Police were aware of that meeting but the two were not immediately de-' tained in the hope that t h e ' Syrian contact might try another meeting. t h e two Jews d e n i e d all charges during interrogation, contending they did not know the man they met was a Syrian agent. ,
