Arabic Paper Denounces Bombing;
Mayor Kollek Warns Consequences
(Continued from Page 1)
Arab reaction appeared divided
on the terrorist bombing.
Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusa-
lem, who cut short a visit to the
United States and rushed home
when he heard the news, praised
East Jerusalem's only Arabic news-
paper, Al Kuds, which denounced
the bombing as an outrage that
"shook the foundations" of the
city and "the conscience of every
inhabitant, Arab and Jew, who
desires peace and hates the killing
of innocent people." But Arab not-
ables and civic leaders of East
Jerusalem have been silent so far.
They were criticized by Deputy
Mayor Mordecai Ish Shalom for
failing to condemn the bombing or
to express sympathy for families
of its victims.
Mayor Kollek warned that if
people." The group also claimed
credit for past bomb explosions in
Jerusalem, Hebron and Tel Aviv.
According to reports from Am-
man, Jordanian officials were skep-
tical of the guerrilla claims and
suggested that the bombing was
the work of "Israeli extremists"
who were trying to block propos-
als that Arabs who fled the West
Bank and East Jerusalem in the
wake of the June 1967 war, be
allowed to return to their homes.
The extremists' aim, according to
the Amman officials, was to con-
vince the Israeli public that refu-
gee repatriation would endanger
their security.
Another curfew — the second
in less than two weeks — was in ef-
fect in Nablus in the wake of anti-
Israel demonstrations in which
about 1,000 Arabs took part. The
acts of sabatoge continued, East curfew was confined to the Casbah,

Arab trade union leaders of East
Jerusalem and Jaffa issued a state-
ment denouncing those responsible
for the bombing as "blood-thirsty
cowards whose aim is to deepen
hatred and remove understanding
and peace from our region."
Other Arabs who joined in con-
demning the act were the Moslem
religious trustees of Acre, a mixed
Arab-Jewish town on the north
shore of Haifa Bay. A Nazareth
Arab labor leader, Eldin Elzuabi,
head of the Arab faction of the
Mapam Party, also denounced the
bombing.
The Israel C a 10 net decided
Sunday on further measures to
combat terrorism. No details of
the decision were made public but
Israeli newspapers reported that
the measures include more thor-
ough checks on cars traveling be-
tween the West Bank and Israel
and a more selective basis for is-
suing work permits to Arabs from
occupied territories who seek jobs
in Israel. Security patrols by po-
lice and civil defense wardens in
West Jerusalem have been rein-
forced.
Seventeen of the injured were
still hospitalized and five were re-
dispersed by police in armored
cars and jeeps. A curfew had
been in effect for about a week
as a result of a school strike and
demonstrations on the 51st anni-
versary of the Balfour Declaration.
Eight Arabs, five from Nablus
and three from East Jerusalem,
wereexp elled from Israel for al-
legedly writing a n d distributing
leaflets denouncing the Israeli oc-
cupation and inciting students to
demonstrations and strikes. The
eight — two women among them—
were mostly school teachers or
principals. They were roused from
their homes early Monday morn-
ing and were driven to the Allenby
Bridge where they crossed into Jor-
dan without incident. Two Nab-
lus high school students were de-
tained by police following slight
disturbances when news of the de-
portations reached the West Bank
town. The deportees were all re-
portedly members of Communist
and other left-wing parties which
follow the Soviet-Arab line against
Israel.
Arab terrorists. The Israeli daily
Maariv said in an editorial: "It is
a very difficult to take measures
to prevent a recurrence of such
crimes without rebuilding the walls
of hatred between the (Jewish and
Arab) communities." Most Israeli
newspapers urged-the government
to intensify precautions without
changing its policy of fostering in-
tegration.
West Bank leaders blame
broadcasts from Arab radio sta-
tions, including ones from Am-
man, for inciting students to
demonstrate against Israel. As a
result of the protests, they say,
curfews are imposed and the
livelihood of West Bank Arabs is
threatened.
Three shells from a Russian type
130 MM Katyusha rocket launcher
were fired from Jordanian terri-
tory Monday at Masada and Sbaar
Hagolan, settlements south of Lake
Tiberias. No casualties or damage
were reported, Katyusha was used
by El Fatah in recent attacks on
Beisan and Eilat.
Deputy Prime Minister Yigal
Allon said at a public meeting in
Jerusalem Monday that sterner
judicial measures may have to be
taken against saboteurs. He refer-
red to Friday's bomb blast in Je-
rusalem.
A wounded El Fatah saboteur
who was hit in a recent encounter
with Israeli forces in the Jordan
Valley hailed an Israeli patrol and
surrendered Tuesday. He had been
hiding for two days under dense
vegetation. The captive's wounds
were treated and he was later
questioned.
The Beirut newspaper Al Mo-
harrer claimed in a story that the
explosives consisted of TNT and
gasoline which was put into a
British-made truck with Israeli li-
cense plates and driven into Jeru-
salem by a eimmando who pre-
tended to be on a routine beer de-
livery.
Two Arab guerrilla organiza-
tions, El Fatah and the Popular
Front for the Liberation of Pale-
stine, each claimed credit for it.
In a broadcast from Beirut heard
here, the Popular Front said the
bombing was "retaliation for Isra-
eli terrorist actions against our
