Quiet prevailed throughout the country following yesterday’s disorders in Tel Aviv during which more than thirty Jews were wounded, four of them seriously, when police fired into a crowd demonstrating against the Government after the funeral of a Jew killed Wednesday in a hold-up by Arab brigands.
Police are tracing a motor truck which is believed to have carried the killers of two Arabs near Petach Tikvah last night. Bloodhounds have traced the tracks to a camp of Arab workers near the colony of Neged. It was reported that Europeans were in the truck.
Meanwhile additional police were on special duty in the main centers of population throughout the country, as a precaution against further outbreaks.
In the all-Jewish city of Tel Aviv, Jewish police were no duty watching developments until the Sabbath is over.
