Bedouin squatters and grazers on the Jewish lands in the Haifa Bay area are permitted to remain there under a new administrative order, the J.T.A. is given to understand, the police being instructed not to interfere with them until the Land Court has given its decision in regard to their claims.
The order means that anyone is allowed to trespass on the property, the police interfering only if the trespasser causes a fight, a representative of the Palestine Economic Corporation, which owns the land in conjunction with the Jewish National Fund, said to the J.T.A. to-day, in commenting on the order. Vandalism is mean-while being continued by the Arabs and already several thousand trees have been uprooted.
