The three parties to be represented before the Commission of Inquiry when it opens its investigation today behind closed doors spent the week-end in final preparation for the hearing.

On Friday afternoon the Zionist counsel, headed by Sir Boyd Merriman and Viscount Erleigh, attended the showing of a moving picture film depicting the riot scenes at Safed, Hebron, Beer Tuvia and Artouf. Members of the Arab Executive were closeted with William Henry Stoker, chief counsel for the Arabs, while Assistant Attorney General Drayton, on behalf of the government, worked with the government’s principal counsel, Mr. Preedy.
