The possibility that the Jewish population of Jerusalem will boycott the forthcoming municipal elections here loomed large today when the official announcement of the number of councillors to be elected was made.

According to the announcement, the Jerusalem City Council is to consist of 5 Moslems, 4 Jews and 3 Christians. Jewish leaders demand that the number of Jewish councillors be increased.
