5,000 Prayer Books
Shipped to Europe
By Vaad Hatzalah
The last shipment of 5,000
prayer books, Bibles, several
hundred woolen talesim and tfil-
in has been sent from the local
office of Vaad Hatzalah for the
European Jewish communities.
Previously 37 Sifre Torah,
donated by Detroit Synagogues
and individuals, has been ship-
ped, after an impressive fare-
well gathering attended by over
a thousand at Cong. Mogen Abra-
ham on Dec. 9, at which time
representatives of congregations
presented the Torahs to the Vaad
Hatzalah. At that gathering
substantial sums of money were
donated for the purchase of
prayer books and Humoshim, as
well as food and clothing being
shipped by the Women's Emer-
gency Food Committee of the
Detroit Vaad Hatzalah.
The campaign, initiated by
Michigan Synagogue Conference,
was conducted by a special Reli-
gious Rehabilitation Committee
led by the Detroit Council of
Orthodox Rabbis with participa-
tion of Mizrachi, Young Israel,
Merkaz, Agudath Israel Youth
and representatives of Detroit
Synagogues. Contributions also
were received from out of town
communities.
Along with the religious arti-
cles were sent several large box-
es of used clothing and shoes.
Hundreds of packages of food,
medicines and clothing are be-
ing shipped weekly from the
Vaad Hatzalah office by the
Women's Emergency Food Com-
mittee to Jewish Chaplains and
displaced persons in Europe.
An initial deposit of $4,000
was made by the Committee for
shipment of the first 400 Pass-
over parcels to a specified list
of addresses.
The Vaad Hatzalah office is
at 12219 Dexter, HO. 4763.

NEW YORK.—Problems confronting Jews the world

Wednesday.. Dan Frohman, mu-
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The Jewish settlement of Holon, near
Tel Aviv, where three Jews were killed by British African troops,
who invaded the village after one of their number had been shot
dead. by Jewish terrorists during an attack on an arms store, was
the scene of violence a second time this week as the East African
troops raged through the streets, breaking windows and assaulting
passers-by.
The first outbreak was precipitated by terrorists who killed
an African sentry guarding the armory of a military camp near
Holon. The terrorists escaped with two truck-loads of weapons and
ammunition, after engaging in a pitched battle, during which, police
said, they killed a British medical captain named Ashley. The head
of the Holon council, however, claimed that Ashley was killed
by his own troops.
The African troops broke into Holon in pursuit of one of the
alleged terrorists, although residents of the village say that the man
they were pursuing was an innocent bystander.
Those killed were Ben Zion Shenkar, 45, the manager of a
textile factory; Shmue Perlman, 37, employed in a local cutlery
factory; and Eliahu Youdaiev, 16. The wounded are: Yena Ovari, 23,
shot in the arm; Juval Shveu, 15, multiple bayonet wounds; Haim
Cohen, 42 stabbed in back; Kurt Lachmann, 38, stabbed in neck;
and Hanna Pelsh, suffering from shock.
A party of armed Jews made an abortive attack on police
headquarters at Safad last week according to police.
An Arab sentry challenged the attackers who replied with
fire wounding the sentry. Several grenades were also thrown at
the guards. Simultaneously, another group of attackers approached
police headquarters from the opposite side, but, according to the
police communique, were also repelled.
Further surprise searches of houses in Jerusalem have been
carried. out by police and troops. British engineers—part of the
garrison of 7,000 to 8,000 troops now in the Jerusalem area—have
completed fortification of Government buildings and military sites.
The new emergency regulations proclaimed by the Palestine
Government do not change existing laws and therefore do not
justify the charges that they establish virtual martial law and pro-
vide for wholesale arrests and imprisonment, Chief Secretary John
B. W. Shaw said in a 'telegram arriving this week.
These regulations, Shaw said, will be directed solely against those
who deliberately disturb public order, but not against citizens who
are going about their lawful pursuits, or even against those whose
criminal offenses are ordinary crimes outside of the scope of the
emergericy laws.
