The strike of professional and clerical employees of the Development Corporation for Israel, the organization which conducts the Israel bond campaign, was over today. The four-day walkout had been settled in time for the continuance of the High Holy Day appeals for the sale of Israel bonds, scheduled prior to the strike called by Local 1707 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
While no announcement of the terms of settlement was made, it was stated that a compromise had been achieved between strikers and the management. The strikers had demanded an increase in the minimum salaries now being paid to the professional employees. The Israel bond organization has 50 offices throughout the country.
