Orde Charles Wingate, leader of an Imperial airborne Commando force who was killed in a plane crash in Burma, was mourned here this week by Zionist leaders who recalled his activities in Palestine during the 1936 Arab disturbances. Writing in the Manchester Guardian, L. Namier, a British Zionist leader, says: "Gen. Win- gate was one of the greatest friends who the Jews, particular- ly the Palestine Jews, had in our time. He seemed predestined to become the leader of the Pales- tine Jewish fighting force."
