A Jewish engineer, M. Schluger, and Mrs. Giladi were sentenced to two months in prison today for participation in a demonstration against High Commissioner Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope on Tuesday during which he was showered with leaflets protesting against the proposed legislative council.
The two were in a crowd of right-wing Zionists who shouted protests against the Government’s policy as Sir Arthur left the home of Mayor Meier Dizengoff after a visit. It was the second hostile demonstration against Sir Arthur to be staged in this all-Jewish city within a month.
