the proposed government election
law limiting the representation IN

command ten percent of the total
vote in a national election.

representatives of the four parties
in the coalition, came to no decl-
sion. Minister without portfolio

ing the Mapai and General Zion
lists, respectively, favored the law.
Minister of Justice DR.. Pinchas
Rosen and Minister of Religion
Moshe Shapiro, of the Progressive
and Poale Mizrachi Parties, op-
posed the law. The General Zion
lists entered the coalition on the
understanding that such a meas
ure would be offered by the gov
eminent.
Benjamin Mintz, speaking for
the religious elements in the coall-
ton, declared that eff the bill is
passed it will rob the smaller par
ties of representation in the Knes-
set" A Progressive spokesman
later said that the tendency to
create two party system in Is
rael will "only harm Israeps dem
ocracy."

vides that the country shall be di-
vided into 30 electoral districts,
with each district electing three
deputies to Parliament. The re-
naming 80 members of the 12O-
