The Palestine government will take no steps to prevent the disturbing of Jewish worshippers praying at the Wailing Wall until the Wailing Wall Commission arrives, it was learned here today in connection with the interruption of worshippers Saturday by Arabs.

The disturbance, against which the Jewish community had protested, was due to the Arab religious ceremony of Zikar, which coincided with the time that the Jews were praying.
