L’Opinion, the organ of the youth branch of the opposition Istiqlal (Independence) Party, protested the fact that laboratories of the pharmaceutical departments in Casablanca were closed on Yom Kippur, and attacked the Government for “failing to safeguard the health of its citizens.”

The Arab-language organ of the party, Al Alam, published a letter from a Moslem reader protesting against the name “Circle of Former Students of the Alliance Israelite Universelle in Casablanca.” Al Aram declared that the designation “Israelite” was an “insult to us.”
