FIGHT THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR INFANTILE PARALYSIS Arabs Bar Wailing Wall To Jews on Tisha b'Av JERUSALEM (JTA) — Despite repeated promises by United Na- tions personnel that the Arabs in control of the Old City of Jerusalem would make arrange- ments for Jews to be admitted to the Holy Places there, not a single Jew was permitted to visit the Wailing Wall on the eve of Tisha b'Av. In pre-war years thou- sands of Jews from all over the country flocked to the Wailing Wall to recite the Lamentations, marking the destruction of the ancient Temple. Arab authorities of the Old City have changed the name of the Jewish quarter there to the Mouidin — Fighters — quarter. Jews, barred from the Wailing Wall, have assembled in dimly- lit synagogues to recite the La- mentations. Many American visitors attended the services. All employees of the Israeli government who observed the Tish b'Av by fasting were ex- cused from work. The Knesset began meeting earlier with the Speaker reciting verses from the Prophet Zacharias. `Yiddish for Adults,' New English.
