The Palestine Scene

as Bombings Spread

Explosions Tear Up Lines, Stations;
British, Arab Policemen Die in Blasts

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Following a one-day suspen-
sion of service because of bomb damage, the Palestine
government announced this week that all rail traffic will
halt after dark.
The move was taken because of the severe damage
and casualties in the past two weeks as the result of the

explosion of mines planted on the
roadbed by the Irgun Zvai Leumi.
Railway explosions killed 10 po-
licemen in two incidents Wednes-
day. Two British and four Arab
constables died in Tel Aviv and
three Arabs and one Briton were
killed in a station, three miles
south of Jerusalem when mines
under a police trolley exploded.

STATION WRECKED
The Ras el Ain railroad station,
east of Tel Aviv, was destroyed
on Sunday by time bombs placed
in the waiting room by extremists
The main station building was
blasted, cutting Ras el Ain off
from the rest of the country. An
Arab policeman was killed.
According to a police announce-
ment three armed Jews entered
the station with suitcases marked
"dangerous bombs." They held off
a signalman who challenged them
and escaped in a truck before po-
lice and military units arrived.
Earlier, an explosion tore up a
section of track on the Jerusalem-
Lydda line near Ramleh, but there
were no casualties. Two road
mines exploded near Givat Bren-
ner despite the Irgun's announce-
ment that it was discontinuing
mining roads and would concen-
trate on the rail network.

TOLL RISES TO 4
A British police sergeant who
was injured in the explosion of a
bobby trap in an abandoned house
in Jerusalem on Saturday died this
week, bringing the death toll in
the blast to four. The explosion
occurred when tha
_who
were lured to the house by an
anonymous telephone caller who
said that it was a terrorist hide-
out, pulled open the door which
set off a bomb.
The Haganah radio, "Voice of
Israel," attacked the British gov-
ernment for blockading the coast
of Palestine against Jewish ref-
ugees seeking to arrive by sea at
the same time that thousands of
Arabs were entering the country il-
legally by land from Transjordan
and other neighboring countries. It
said that 30,000 Arabs were in the
country illegally.

MILITARY WARNED
The radio added that the release
of the Jewish Agency leaders was
"not bought at the price of de-
nunciations to the White Paper
government, but terrorism will be
fought by internal methods.' At
the sanie time, the broadcast
warned the military authorities
that retaliatory terror on their
part will have the opposite results
of that desired.
The Royal Air Force is moving
its headquarters from Palestine to
Cyprus at the end of this month,
it was learned this week. The
Lydda airport, the principal one in
Palestine, will then revert to a
civilian status.

Gen. Barker Returns
to Palestine Duties

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Lieut. Gen.
Sir Evelyn Barker, British com-
mander in Palestine, who is to be
transferred from his post on Jan.
31, returned here from a two-week
visit in Britain.
Reports from London say that
some members of the cabinet ad-
vised that Barker not return be-
cause of the hostility between him
and the Jewish population, but
they were overruled by the im-
perial general staff.
A Jewish Agency spokesman said
that the non-cooperation campaign
was still operating. Jewish mem-
bers of government bodies will not
participate in their work and
funds will continue to be raised
to finance immigration of visaless
Jews.

TRADE WITH POLAND
JERUSALEM—Four million sets
of artificial teeth were among the
first postwar orders from Poland
to Palestine.

Over Palestine

LAKE SUCCESS, No. 11 (JTA)
—The Palestine issue was dumped
squarely into the lap of the Unit-
ed Nations today, when Soviet del-
egate Nikolai V. Novikov strongly
attacked Great Britain for failing
to offer to place Palestine under
UN trusteeship and charged that
Britain's direct consultation with
Arab and Jewish groups and the
United States was a violation of
the UN charter.
Novikav declared that Britain's
failure to submit a draft trustee-
ship agreement on Palestine
"raises the question of the reasons
which the British government may
have" for this action. He said
sarcastically that the British have
"not found it possible to inform"
Moscow of its reasons.

BRITON ANSWERS
"If, however," he continued, "the
British government considers that
there are certain special circum-
stances compelling it to treat the
Palestine mandate differently, it
would have been better to inform
the General Assembly accordingly
and the latter could have consid-
ered the measures necessary."
In answer to charges, Ivor
rtr ■ k1.3.
committee, issued the following
statement: "On the 17th of Janu-
ary Mr. Bevin fully explained that
no proposals for the future of Pal-
estine could be put forward until
the Anglo-American Commission
of Inquiry has reported, and the
resulting talks with Arabs and
Jews have still to be concluded."

READY TO YIELD
Another British spokesman said
that Britain was prepared to turn
the matter over to the UN if the
London conference on Palestine
collapsed.
Novikov declared that the Bri-
tish failure to submit an agree-
ment on Palestine violated ' not
only the UN charter but also the
General Assembly resolution of
last February requiring mandatory
powers to submit their mandates
to trusteeship.
He pointed out that neither of
these "provides for any exceptions
in respect to any territories under
mandates and do not establish
any postponement in the matter
of the presentation of these draft
agreements."

Russian Relief, reported at a ban-
quet in his honor given by the
Detroit committee of the council
Wednesday in Masonic Temple to
climax.the organization's campaign
for $60,000 to help finance a hos.
pital for Russian children.
"I visited many synagogues in
my tour of Russia," he said. "I had
complete freedom of movement
and checked whatever I pleased.
In Moscow, I noted that orthodox
Judaism was being practiced with
old, the fervor and in Leningrad
I was made aware of the tradi-
tional rivalry between Chassidim
and Misnagdim.
"I visited the Greek Orthodox
Cathedral and the Baptist church
in Moscow and I found worship-
pers crowding the pews.
"The message that all Russians
gave to me to carry home was:
'Tell the American people that we
want to live in peace and that the
future of the world depends on the
