Ten Jews, among them three Americans, were arrested here today when members of Neturei Karta, ultra-Orthodox group, staged a demonstration to protest planned mixed bathing at a swimming pool in this city. The Americans are Rabbi Zalman Reichman, of New York, vice-president of Agudath Harabanim; his son, Rabbi Rapahel Reichman, also of New York; and Abraham Gurevitch.
Steel-helmeted police cordoned off the area from which 5, 000 Neturei Karta demonstrators tried to march to the center of the city. The elder Rabbi Reichman was arrested as police led his son to a van, accusing the son of interference with policemen.
