Transcribed from the clipping

“JERUSALEM —(AP)— First steps toward creating a representative body of Palestine Arabs have been taken by a newly formed sponsoring committee at Haifa. No official political body representing all Arabs of the country has existed since dissolution of the Arab High committee by the Palestine government in October, 1936, during disturbances.

Requests for support have been sent by the new committee to the government officials. A conference of leading Arab personalities from the entire country now is planned by the Haifa leaders.”

Context added by this archive

Twenty-one years before the PLO, and the reason there was no body already: the government had dissolved the last one.
