Jordan Restricts
Christmas Truvel

JERUSALEM, Dec. 8 F.-
Foreign tourists entering Jordan
from Israel to celebrate Christi
mas at Bethlehem will not be
allowed to return directly to
Israeli territory this year.
The move, announced yester-
day by the Jordan government
is intended to induce tourists to
travel through Jordan instead
of via Israel. !
| Christian Arabs and foreign
ers living in Israel will be PER-
mitted to spend SO hours In
Bethlehem before returning to
their homes. Thousands are ex4
Ipected to cross through Jerusa-
LENS Mandelbaum Gate to OBJ
serve Christmas in Jordan.
The Holy Land is preparing
for its busiest Christmas season
since the end of the Palestine
war. Hotel owners in Jerusalem.
Bethlehem, Jericho and other
areas report accommodations
fully booked for the season.
Private homes and converts also
will be used to house visitors.
The high level of reservations
reflected the comparatively quiet
conditions along the Jordan
Israeli border during the past
few months.
Jordan's tourist board esti-
mates that Christmas pilgrims
will bring the number Of visitors
to the Holy Land in 1855 to
about 100000.
