Arab-Jewish friction developed in the operation of Jerusalem municipal affairs when Arab Mayor Mustapha Bey khalidi notified Jewish Vice-Mayor Daniel Auster that he was to seek information on municipal business from him rather than from the departments directly concerned.
Mr. Auster, in reply, insisted on the vice-mayor’s right to maintain full and direct contact with the various city departments. In a letter to District Commissioner Edward Keith-Roach, Mr. Auster asked his intercession to prevent encroachment on his office and hinted at the possibility of non-cooperation. Meanwhile, municipal officials continued normal relations with the vice-mayor.
A Galilees land redemption campaign, with a goal of $750,000, was proclaimed for the third successive year today by the Jewish National Fund.
