Southern Palestine Thirsts
(Special Cable to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Negev waterline was punc-
tured several times and settlerS in southern Palestine are in
dire need of water.
A Haganah unit surprised an Arab band which was pre-
paring an attack on Jewish settlements near the Yarkon
River between Petach Tikvah and Ramat Hayim. Several
Arabs were killed and the rest were scattered, with Haganah
still pursuing the remnants.

JERUSALEM—Heavy toll of life in Palestine is charg-
ed directly to the British authorities who not only have dis-
armed and . arrested members of Haganah, thus hindering
Jewish self-defense efforts, but also have permitted the Trans-
Jordan Arab Legion, which functions under the command
of British officers, to attack' Jewish convoys.
the UN Trusteeship Council
completed the first phase of its
general discussions and adjourned
until Jan. 5, at which time it will
receive two draft sections of the
city charter which are being pre-
pared by a group of experts.
The Jewish Agency requested
that it be heard at any discus-
sion of the Palestine issue by the
Seburity Council.
In a letter to Secretary-Gener-
al Trygve Lie, the Agency based
its request on its hearing before
the Political Security Committee
during the special Assembly ses-
sion last Spring and its partici-
pation in the work of the Ad Hoc
Committee on Palestine at the
recently completed session.
It also cited Rule 39 of the pro-
visional rules Of procedure of the
Security Council, which says that
the Council "may invite members
of the Secretariat or Other- per-
sons whom it considers compe-
tent for the 'purpose, to •supply it
with information or to give other
assisi;ance in examining matters
within its competence."
