There were no news transmissions today from Israel and Europe to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in New York because of massive power cuts in Britain due to the five-week strike of coal miners. News stories from Israel and Europe are transmitted to the JTA London Bureau which in turn is retransmitting to New York. To keep readers and subscribers abreast of the latest developments in Israel and Europe, the JTA in New York instituted emergency technical facilities to obtain the latest news. This will continue until the power is restored in Britain.
