Arabs Open Fire on
Gathering Addressed
By David Ben-Gurion

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Prem-
ier David Ben-Gurion was ex-
-41 posed to gunfire from Arab
Legionnaires this week when,
accompanied by Brigadier Yigal
Yadin, Chief of Staff of the Is-
rael Army, he unveiled an obe-
lisque at Kiryat Anavim in
memory of members of the Pal-
mach who fell in an attempt
to lift the siege 'of Jerusalem
during the Israel liberation war.
Kiryat Anavim is a settlement
in the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv cor-
ridor, north of Jerusalem. Israel
sources charged that the Jordan
troops opened fire without pro-
vocation, slightly wounding two
Israel soldiers. They vigorously
denied reports broadcast by the
Jordan radio that 10 fully-
equipped Israeli soldiers h a d
crossed the frontier near Kiryat
Anavim. The Arab radio said
that "Jordanian forces repulsed
the attackers, killing one and
wounding two."
In a brief speech dedicating
the memorial, the Premier paid
tribute to the heroism of the
Palmach youths who had fallen
and declared it was "the most
precious weapon of Israel." The
memorial was built with funds
contributed by families of the
fallen troops and the settlers of
the Kiryat Anavim area.
Sir Alan Kirkbridge, British
diplo matic representative in
Jordan, crossed the demarcation
line into Israel this week im-
mediately proceeded to Tel Aviv
for talks with high officials of
the Israel Foreign Office. Dur-
ing his stay in Israel he was
the guest of the British Minis-
ter in Tel Aviv.

Extending DP Deadline

WASHINGTON, (AJP)—Presi-
dent Truman is on record as fa-
voring the extension of the dead-
line for immigration into the
United States under the Dis-
placed Persons Act scheduled to
expire June 30.
The President's stand, relayed
to a delegation of officers rep-
resenting a Greek-American so-
ciety, followed an earlier disclo-
sure by Arthur Greenleigh, exe-
cutive director of the United
Jewish Appeal, that "red tape"
would bar thousands of displaced
persons from entering America
before the June 30 deadline.
Truman was reported by John
G. Theves, of Newark, N. J. pres-
ident of the Greek Society as
saying he would like to see an
extension of the deadline.
Greenleigh had charged that
the Naturalization and Immi-
gration Service was "too slow"
in admitting immigrants. Agents
Of the Counter Intelligence
Corps also came in for attack
charged with screening methods
not "in line with democratic
tradition."
