Arabs demonstrated against Jews and lynched one in disorders accompanying tension between Rightists and Leftists in Algeria, according to Associated Press and United Press reports today.
The A.P. said Arabs demonstrated against Jews in one section of Oran, resulting in the police prefect making a hasty airplane flight from Algiers to the scene of the racial disturbances.
Rising tension among natives after Arabs seized and lynched a Jew caused authorities to mobilize 360 Sengalese troops and police reinforcements, the U.P. reported. Excitement among the native population led to fears of further disorders.
