Tunisia Seizes 2nd
Jewish Organization
PARIS, (JTA) — A second
Jewish Community (Tunisian
equivalent of a Jewish federa-
tion) in Tunisia, in the city of
Sfax, has had a "caretaker"
commission imposed by the
government to conduct the af-
fairs of its 3,000 Jews. M. Saada,
president of the Jewish Com-
munity, was ordered by the
government to hand his powers
over temporarily to the "care-
taker" commission, headed by
a government appointee, M.
Zarouk.
The Jewish Community Coun-
cil in the capital, at Tunis, was
dissolved by government order
last July and was also replaced
by a "caretaker" commission.
Reports reaching here assert
that new elections among the
Jews for a council in Tunis
have been postponed, by
government order, until next
March. Originally, the govern-
ment pledged itself to permit
elections in Tunis before the
end of 1958.
