Jewish-owned busses resumed operations between this all-Jewish city and neighboring Jaffa for the first time since the disorders broke out more than two weeks ago.

Many Arabs were seen on the streets of Tel Aviv, going about their affairs without molestation. Jews, however, continued to stay out of Jaffa, fearing to return to the city where the most violent of the disturbances occurred on April 19 and the succeeding days.

The general strike, aimed against Jewish immigration and sale of land to Jews, was still in full force in Jaffa today.

A fire that broke out in the Hotel Villa, in the Neve Shalom suburb of Tel Aviv, was extinguished before it gained headway.
