The Palestine Scene

Deportation of 900
Protested by Strike

Jewish Shops and Factories Close
as New Shipload Is Moved to Cyprus

JERUSALEM (JTA)—The one-hour-long countrywide
strike called by the Jewish National Council to protest the
deportation to Cyprus of the 900-odd refugees who arrived
at Haifa Monday aboard the IIamaapil Haalmoni passed
quietly. Jewish shops and factories closed down and in
most Jewish communities traffic halted for the first guar

ter of an hour.
The Hamaapil Haalmonl was
towed into Haifa harbor in the
pre-dawn hours Monday and the
passengers were transferred to the
Ocean Rival across a pontoon
bridge between the two vessels.
Leading the procession were a
number of stretcher cases, victims
_of a clash during which a British
boarding party used clubs, guns,
water hoses and tear gas to sub-
due the Jews. Following the
stretcher bearers were a large
number of men and women with
bandaged heads. It is estimated
that fully one-third of the Hama-
apil Haalmoni passengers were
children.

LIFT TROOP BAN
Tel Aviv, which has been out of
bounds for British troops for sev-
eral weeks, was entertaining hun-
dreds of Tommics this week, fol-
lowing easing of the non-fraterni-
zation order. Troops may now vis-
it the city between the hours of
2 p. m. and 5:30 a. m.
Palestine Arab merchants have
filed a memorandum with the
Arab League in Cairo asking that
the boycott of "Zionist goods" be
called off or compensation paid to
Arab merchants to defray "losses
resulting from the ban".
Relations between anti-extrem-
ist groups in the Jewish commu-
hay and the extremist organiza-
tions, which have been rapidly
deteriorating in recent months,
reached a new low when clashes
between extremists and anti-ex-
tremists took place in Jerusalem,
Tel Aviv and Haifa.
The most serious incident oc-
curred in Tel Aviv where six
youths were wounded when mem-
bers of the Irgun attacked ad-
herents of the Haganah who were
removing Irgun posters. A simi-
lar clash occurred a few hours
earlier in Jerusalem, which was
also the scene of a gun battle in
which two Jews were wounded.

and had been assigned to its
"Yemenite platoons." The cable
said that after the recent evic-
tion of Jews and Arabs in con-
nection with the establishment of
British security zones, 57 Arabs
came over to the Irgun.
Sheikh All Shanhkin, a former
mayor of Jaffa and a long-time
opponent of the ex-Mufti of Jeru-
salem, was assassinated at the
door of his home in Jaffa this
week by an unknown Arab. Ills
murder is believed to be part of
a campaign by the Husseini forc-
es, led by the Mufti, to terrorize
their opponents.

One thousand trees, dedicated to President Truman, comprise the
first grove in the Children's Memorial Forest in Palestine, the
afforestation program launched under the auspices of the American
Christian Palestine Committee. The land tract upon which the
forest will be planted has been set aside by the Jewish National
Fund. The certificate for the Harry S. Truman Grove was presented

Sought to Burn
Synagogue, Gets
Probation Term

LONDON (WNS)—Ivor Worth,
a former British Army officer
convicted on a charge of attempt-
ed arson in the recent attacks on
London synagogues, was placed
on probation for three years in-
stead of receiving the expected
punishment provided for in the
penal law for such crimes.
Worth's defense was that Eng-
land was "at war with Jewry"
and that he "felt it was time we
hit back."
The light sentence has provoked
much resentment in Jewish circles
here, particularly in view of the
fact that the accused failed to
claim extenuating circumstances
beyond claiming that he thought
Britain was waging war against
the Jews.

vath Beth Yehudah are expected

chin, chairman, will be toastmas-
ter.

first student to complete the in-
termediate course of the day
