“Shirt” movements are growing in popularity in the Holy Land. Recently a “Greenshirt” organization was started here based on the Egyptian Wafdist “Greenshirts.” Another movement is now being launched by the Palestine Arab Party which is headed by the Mufti of Jerusalem.
The new organization will have a uniform of blue shirts and khaki trousers and will try to enlist Arab youth. Jamal el Husseini, well-known Arab politician, and Emil el Ghoury are sponsoring the new group which will apply for government registration. It has about three hundred members.
The dispatches will not be published on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 7 and 8, first two days of Passover.
