A delegation of 500 workers will travel from this city to Jerusalem tomorrow to demand that the Parliament make efforts to improve the food situation in the country. The Histadrut executive opposes the action of the 500.

Six thousand immigrant families will spend the winter in tents, it was learned today, despite frantic attempts to provide more adequate shelter for the cold season. Twenty-four thousand families who have been living in tents are being moved to wood and metal huts being rushed to completion throughout the country. The children of families which will remain in tents are being taken to children’s homes and institutions in villages and settlements.
