The opening of the Transjordan Legislative Assembly, scheduled for today, which was to have heard Transjordan Arab leaders press for the legalization of leases to Jews, was suddenly postponed today.
Considerable importance is attached to this summary and surprising action in view of the subject matter of its agenda.
The Assembly was already open and the flag had been raised when the Secretariat announced that the Assembly would not meet.
No date for the resumption of the session was set and the members were sent home mystified.
