Wall Street slips as profit taking mirrors inflation data

Wall Street prices remained moderately lower and steady in heavy trading. The Dow Jones industrial average stood at 904.43, down 5.87 at noon as declines outweighed advances on the NYSE. The government reported a 0.4 percent rise in the cost of living last month, while GNP rose 6.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 1971 and inflation set a four year high. Chase Manhattan trimmed its prime rate to 4 percent, matched by other major New York banks.

Jewish Airlift Turns Flood as Soviet Aliyah Grows

TEL AVIV AP Nightly airlifts from Vienna bring Soviet Jewish families to Israel swelling immigration from a trickle to a flood. Officials predict up to 40,000 newcomers this year despite $26,000 cost per four-person family. Housing, finance, and integration pose major challenges as Moscow threatens more arrivals. Premier Golda Meir and Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir frame the policy as welcome manpower for a nation of 2.5 million Jews, with arrivals from North America, South America and East Europe also expected. Immigrants face language barriers, limited housing near Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and uncertainty over new lives in Israel.
