JERUSALEM

.

Sources close to the government revealed that the British are attempt-
ing to sell $20,000,000 worth of planes, scout cars, barbed wire and other
British army surplus supplies to the Jewish Agency. Only eight or nine
scout planes said to be in operating condition. The material previously was
offered also to Arabs, who refused it.
The Irgun and Sternists Monday attacked at least six Arab villages
from fast moving vehicles, throwing grenades and using automatic, weapons

in hit and run 'raids. Twelve Arabs were killed and a score wounded
Haganah blew up houses used as a center for guerilla bands in Bet Dajan
Lifta. n, action near Tamara Arav, an Arab village where Haganah killed
at least 25 Arabs, however, another house was blown up with three Arabs
killed and two Haganah men dead. Arab snipers in the Sheikh Jarach
quarter of Jerusalem are continuing almost uninterrupted - sniping, killing
one Jewish woman, wounding a number of other Jews and firing on a Red
Mogen Dovid ambulance.

Furious Fighting Continues in Hebron Hills

The Kfar Etzion battle continued to rage as numerous bands of Arabs
attacked Jewish defenders in and around the settlement. Observers stated
that the battle was probably the fiercest thus far in•the war which has now
entered its seventh week.
An attack on the northern colony, Yechiel, by 500 Arabs resulted in
the death of nine Jews.

Correspondents Tour
old City of Jerusalem

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Two of - the many for-
eign correspondents here were taken, under
military protection, into the walled Old City bf
Jerusalem to see at first hand what was hap-
pening to the 1,800 Jews who have been be-
sieged there for more than a week by more than
35,000 Arabs living within the walls.
The newsmen saw heavily armed soldiers
not only guarding the streets, but also the roofs,
one which barbed wire barriers have been erect-
ed, -gun emplacements established and sand bags
piled up.
The Jewish Street leading to the Wailing
Wall and the Wall 'itself, the holiest Jewish,
place, were quiet. The only access to the Jewish
quarter is by way of Zion Gate, which is too
narrow for any sort of vehicles. 'Anybody ven-
turing to use the more accessible Jaffa Gate
faces death since a three-story house dominating
the gate is a snipers' nest.
The Army said that Haganah snipers are also
active in the area. Military quarters V estimate
that there are 300 to 400 armed Jews inside the,
Old City, including a number of Irgunists and
Sternists who have accepted Haganah
manders. One section of the Old City, nearest
the Arab quarter, is so devastated as a result of
numerous attacks that the soldiers have dubbed
it "Little Warsaw."
. When the correspondents were being shown_
around, the Jewish residents were lining up for
food. Each one received 500 grams of bread and
200 mills—about 40 cents to purchase sweets in
the few Jewish shops still open. Also in opera-
tion are a few schools.

Welcome,
Mayor Rokach!

The Jewish News joins in welcoming to
Detroit Mayor and Mrs. Israel Rokach of the
all-Jewish Judean city of Tel Aviv.
Mayor Rokach's visit here links Detroit
Jewry with the Yishuv of Palestine and is
an occasion for our community's re-dedication
to.the great effort of assuring the redemption
of Palestine's. soil through the Jewish Na-
tional Fund and the great responsibility of
settling hundreds of thousands of Jews in
Palestine through the media of the United
Palestine Appeal and the Joint Distribution
Committee—agencies of the United Jewish
Appeal.
We pray that Mayor Rokach's mission
in this country in the interests of the infant
Jewish state should be crowned with success.
