A several days-old battle between Rumanian Zionists of various political shades and anti-Zionist Jews was halted temporarily today by the unofficial intervention of high Rumanian authorities. The truce, called for three days, halted the partly successful attempts by members of the Democratic Jewish Committee to take over the premises of Zionist organizations in this city.
During the 48 hours prior to the truce, the anti-Zionists invaded 14 offices of ten different Zionist groups here. The invaders called on the Zionists to vacate the premises and, when the request was rejected, occupied them by force.
By the time the truce went into effect about half the offices had been recovered by various Zionist groups. Similar instances have been reported from provincial centers with sizeable Jewish populations.
