Cairo, Aug. 28 (P—Jerusalem * is quict today with only occasional en- counters and casualties, according to a report to the Jewish Telegraph, ic Agency. There is lack of news from London, where a hurried call for a meeting of the Zionist exccu- tive was issued. This is due to the censorship, according to report: rested members of the Jewish self- defense corps are to be tried. Isaac Oen Zbi, labor leader head of the Jewish self-defense rps, telephoned from Jerusalera ¢his morning that there has been no new fighting during the night. Mary Jews were disarmed and arrested, the military authorities making no distinction between Arabs and Jews. The country outside was reported still disturbed, de- spite the patrols of a large British force.

Syrian Christians joined Moslems | in Beirut in a protest against the situation of the non-Zionist popula- | tion in Palestine. Somé& Jews who did not sympathize with these Zionists in the Holy Land were among the demonstrators. The parade was carried out in perfect order.
