The Israel Cabinet decided today to put into force the police ordinance introduced by the British administration in Palestine which provided that groups seeking to hold open-air meetings or demonstrations must first secure a permit from the District Commissioner of the area where the meetings are to be held.

Three Tel Aviv motion picture theatres were today exhibiting the American newsreel depicting the war in Korea which was cancelled during the week-end when demonstrators identified as Communists staged a series of outbursts at the Orion Theatre where the film was shown. Three other cinemas, including the Orion, are abstaining from showing the film for fear of further demonstrations.
