IN ASHDOG, 20 miles south of Tel Aviv, factory workers closed down the industrial area and dock workers shut the nation's second-largest port in a wildcat strike that appeared almost certain to spread across the country. The cases were scheduled in major cities Thursday.
The million-member Histadrat, the trade-
al federation, warned of a general strike to protest the 25 percent rise in fuel prices,
reduced government subsidies on basic foods and a hike of 8 to 12 percent on the sales tax.
"This time the unrest begins in the work places," said Gideon Ben-Israel, head of the Histadrut's strike coordinating committee. "We are under very strong pressure from the workers to take much more extreme moves."

Although the city has the money on hand, according to Ethan Smith, the treasurer, permission from the tax board was needed to spend it. The city has $55,000 on hand in trash pick-up revenues. Remaining funds will be carried over to next year's budget.

Douglas County commissioners and representatives of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers yesterday decided to cooperate in planning of public use areas at Clinton
County, Army to plan Clinton public areas
The decision was made at a meeting between the corps and the county.
McGinnis, a recreation planner for the Kansas City district office, said that only two of the lake's six public use areas would be developed extensively. These are Bloomington and Clinton State Park, which are both on the eastern half of the lake.
MEGNINIS SAID THE first phase of the recreation area construction already is underway and should be completed by September 1979. A contract for the remaining construction has been delayed because of contract problems, he said. After a contract is signed construction is expected to be completed in about two years.
Whitengin said the commission would review the corps plans to make sure they fit in with the county's mini-comprehensive land use plan for the lake area.
The public use areas will include marinas, swimming beaches and camping areas with picnic facilities.
The beach at Clinton State Park probably will not be available for use until 1981, McGinnis said, because of the staged filling plan approved by the corps. Bloomington he said, and should be used for use in 1980, he said, and boat launch ramp should be available in April 1979.
THE CORPS REPRESENTATIVE also discussed with the commissioners complaints from people in the Clinton Lake area about the recent blasting of bridges in the area. The bridges were blasted because the lake was filled with floating boat hazard when the lake was filled.

Vic Counts, corps project director, said the intensity of the blasts would be lessened, the blasts would be sequestered rather than dropped, and the fatality would be torn down rather than blown up.
