British troops from Egypt have arrived here to maintain order and take all precautions Sunday, which happens to be the second day of Passover, the day when the Moslem Nebi Musa festival processions start as well as the day scheduled for Christian Easter processions. Further indications that the government is taking no chances on disorders finding it unprepared is seen in the order mobilizing the entire police force, including members of the band.
To avoid any possible collision between Arabs and Jews or Arabs and Christians during the processions and while the Jews are on their way to pray at the Wailing Wall, the government has issued the following regulations for those going to the Wailing Wall on Sunday:
“Until 10.30 in the morning the usual direction via the Jaffa Gate, David Street and the Street of Chain; from 10.30 to midday via New Gate, Christian Street and the Street of Chain route; from midday to 3 in the afternoon via the Zion Gate to the Southern Wall. After 3 the usual route via David Street will be open.”
