JERUSALEM, (Palcor)—The RAF radar depot on Mount
Carmel, overlooking Haifa Bay, which has been used to spot ships
bringing unauthorized Jewish immigrants to Palestine, has been
"put out of operation" by an explosion touched off by members of
Haganah, Jewish Resistance. Movement, the secret Resistance Radio
"Kol Yisroel" (Voice of Israel) announced in a broadcast on Feb.
20. The radio stated that the radar depot had to be removed
because it had been an obstacle to free Jewish immigration for
some time. Last January 20, Haganah made an abortive attempt
to blow up the radar station, but RAF personnel discovered the
explosives after an anonymous telephone call warned them to
evacuate the base.
An official government communique states that two non-com-
missioned officers were seriously injured and six other British air-
men suffered minor wounds as a result of the explosion which
occurred at about 3:30 in the morning. The explosion shook the
entire Haifa area, and windows were shattered in the vicinity of
the base. According to the government communique, the ex-
plosives were set in place by a small party of armed men which
approached the depot unobserved through an adjacent compound.
When the attackers were spotted they were fired upon, but as far
far as is known, escaped without casualties.
Jews Urge British to Drop Troop Expenses
Proposals to shift the burden of maintaining British troops
in Palestine from the Palestine Government to the British ex-
chequer and to eliminate from the Palestine budget $200,000 yearly
cost for maintenance of the Transjordan Frontier Force, were
presented to Acting Financial Secretary A. W. L. Savage by rep-
resentatives of the Jewish Palestine Chamber of Commerce.
At a special four-hour meeting believed called by the financial
office in anticipation of new taxes, the Jewish representatives
produced a budget figure whereby the government's annual ex-
penditures can be reduced from $80,000,000 to $54,000,000. They
contended that the expenditure fbr defense services, which absorbs
a large part of the budget, is caused by Britain's imperial policy
and not by Jewish Palestine which pays the taxes. They pointed
out that when expenses for security increased during 193671939
Arab terrorism, the extra outlay came from the British exchequer.
