ARAB STRIKE FAILS EXCEPT IN NABLUS
Transcribed from the clipping
NABLUS, Jordan, Sept. 19—The merchants of this west-bank city staged a general strike today to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly of the United Nations. A leaflet calling the strike mentioned the opening of the session and urged the Arab residents to demonstrate their opposition to the Israeli annexation of East Jerusalem and occupation of the west bank.
The strike was called for the entire west bank and Jerusalem, but it was fully effective only in Nablus, traditionally a center of Arab nationalism. All the stores here except cafes and groceries remained shuttered. The Israeli military police arrested 10 persons.
How this transcription was made
Read from the scan at 4x 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 'NABLUS, Jordan, Sept. 19' plus one day, and the paper is named by the credit line 'Special to The New York Times'. The year is not printed anywhere on the clipping and rests on the slide label plus the content. The whole item is transcribed.
