A meeting of all the Jewish census enumerators called by the Vaad Hair, the Jewish Council of Jerusalem, was held here this morning, to discuss the census arrangements among the Jewish population.
Mr. Akhi Mayer, the leader of the Young Revisionists in Palestine, and several others, tried to disturb the meeting and he and two others were taken into custody.
Speaking with the J.T.A. here last week, when an erroneous report of his arrest for conducting anti-census agitation was circulated, Mr. Akhi Mayer said that he regretted that the police had not arrested him, adding that no one in the anti-census movement, which they are conducting because they believe it to be hostile to the Jewish work in Palestine and a preliminary to the setting up of a Legislative Assembly in Palestine, will leave the police station when he is taken into custody unless he is committed for trial.
