A Finance Ministry spokesman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today that the four week-old strike of 500 employee of the Israel Bond Organization in the United States has not affected the sale of Israel Bonds “despite a decrease in the attendance at Bond meetings.” The spokesman said that volunteers have managed to fill the functions of the striking employes. He refused to comment on the merits of the strike saying he lacked information about the working conditions of the strikers. The Ministry spokesman’s statement corroborated the claim of IBO spokesman in New York that the strike hasn’t hurt Bond sales so far.
