for Possessing Arms

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Three
members of one Arab family —
the father and two sons — were
given stiff sentences by an Israeli
court in Gaza after being convicted
of possessing a cache of arms
found in their home. The father
was sentenced to seven years' im-
prisonment. One of the sons was
given a four-year term, and the
second was sentenced to two years'
imprisonment. The arms included
10 submachineguns made in Conn - '
munist China, plus bullets for
those guns.

mained in force except for those
specifically repealed by the mili-
tary government. The existence of
