Holy City Under Shadow Os Smouldering Enmity

Jerusalem, Dec. 19. —(UP)— The advent of the Christmas season fonnd more barbed wire than holiday tinsel in Jerusalem todaymore seeds of strife than rivet* of peace. For the third straight Christmas the holy city lay under the shadow of smouldering enmity. On either side of a narrow no man's land zig-zagging through the city, khaki-clad Israelis and Arab legionnaires in red kaffiehs paced their posts. The war which raged bloodily last Christmas and was shaping up the year before was fresh in memory. Scarcely a family escaped it* harsh demands. The war-weary citizens. Christians. Jews and Arabs alike, had hoped that this Christina* would bring true peace on earth and good will-* time of quiet reconstrm tiou and healing of wounds. Now they feared that events had taken a turn toward more unrest If not worse. Israel decided last week to move its capital here from Tel Aviv. Few were so optimistic as to believe there would be no repercussions. Nor did any dare guess what would come of the United Nations plan to internationalize Jerusalem. which the Israeli shift defied Jerusalem was not one city but Indiana University Is Fastest Growing Cincinnati. 0..
