pose Arab representation on any

Jewish Youth Groups Appeal
To Dissidents to End Terrbr
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Fourteen
Palestinian Jewish youth organ-
izations with a membership of
80,000 men and women issued a
joint appeal calling for an end to
terrorism in the country. The '
groups represented in the united
front ranged politically from the
extreme left to the far eight.
The appeal called on the mem-
bers of the dissident groups to
rally around the national youth
organizations and engage inl
pioneer work to develop Palestine
and at the same time "salvage"
the remnants of European Jewry.
"Only by the united efforts of
the whole people under national
discipline, can our task be
achieved," the statesman declared.
A Jew&h Agency spokesman
said that this appeal might
hamper the activities of the ex-
tremist groups, since their mem-
bership is comprised largely of
men and women in the same age
gioups as those in the organiza-
tions urging unity and peaceful
construction.
Military authorities have alerted
personnel in all camps in the
country for a possible emergency,
the Arab press reported. The re-
port . added that leaves for both
policemen and soldiers have been
cancelled and troops have been
barred from Jerusalem and Haifa
during off duty hours.
