Jewish losses in and near

a cable from Latrun, Palestine,
to the Christian Science Mon-

Jews had tanks and Spitfires
were untrue, that the only field
gun on the Jewish side was
knocked out by Arab artillery
in early stages of fighting, that
Jews relied on small arms and
that "many of these were left on
