Nine Israeli Arabs Accused of Espionage for Jordanians

Transcribed from the clipping
TEL AVIV, Nov. 10—Nine Israeli Arabs from a village near the Jordanian border were held today as suspected members of a ring spying for Jordan. Judge Shlomo Kassan of the Haifa district court ordered their detention until their case comes up, probably in two months. The ring was said to have been based in a village in the Irron Valley.
All nine were charged with conspiracy to collect and deliver information about Israel and military installations to the Jordanian intelligence service.
How this transcription was made
Read from the scan at 2.8x to 5x by a machine looking at the image of the page, not by OCR and not by a person. No masthead or folio; the date follows the dateline 'TEL AVIV, Nov. 10' plus one day, and the paper is named by the credit line 'Special to The New York Times'. 'Irron Valley' is the paper's spelling and is kept. Nine Palestinian citizens of Israel are arrested, charged and ordered detained and none of them is named; the only person named is the Israeli judge.
