It was officially announced that curfew from one p.m. was imposed on Tel Aviv after barricades had been erected. Demonstrators were dispersed and several policemen and demonstrators were injured. A delegation of five Jewish women presented a protest to James S. MacPherson, Government Chief Secretary.
In Haifa, demonstrators stoned the Hadar Hacarmel police station, damaging a district officer’s automobile. A second demonstration near the Haifa law courts was also dispersed. Processions in Jerusalem yesterday morning were dispersed by the police.
