With passions` stillhigh and the city tense after the two days of communal rioting that marred the observance of- Rosh Hashanah, the authorities took no chances that an incident might set off a new outburst. Strong police reinforcements were moved into position in both cities, guarding the synagogues. In Oran, the police cut off the mellah, the old Jewish quarter, from the rest of the city, to prevent infiltra- tion by Arab gangs seeking revenge for the beatings they received during the disturbances last week. One Jew was killed, and a 15-year-old Jewish boy was wounded, when fresh rioting broke out Sunday between Jews and Moslems in the Mellah of Oran, Algeria. Serious riots at Oran last week when fighting broke out on Rosh Hashanah resulted in the death of three Moslem terrorists, the wounding of 26 persons including nine Jews, and the arrest of 76 persons. After a few days of strained quiet in the Mellah, the fighting broke out again Sunday. - Terrorists belonging to the FLN, the Moslem independence movement in Algeria, struck down Emile Medina, a Jew, as he walked along one of the city's principal streets. He had been stabbed fatally in the back. A few minutes later, the 15 --year-old boy, Dada Douaty, was shot in the head in the very center of the Mellah. He was seriously wounded. As soon as word spread of the death of Mr. Medina and the wounding of the boy, Jewish youths started after the man who had killed Mr. Medina. They caught the man, a Moslem, and beat him badly. Two of this man's accomplices, both allegedly armed with revolvers, were also caught by the youthful Jewish self-defense corps. - French security forces moved in and rescued the three Moslems, who were being threatened with death by a crowd of Jews. By Sunday evening, after the French sent in security-reinforcements, the Mellah seemed to have quieted down, but there was great tension among both Jews in the Mellah and among Arabs in the nearby Casbah.

Voicing his deepest condolences, Ben-Gurion praised the late Mr. Hammarskjold as an international ublic servant who had "aspired increased peace in our region." "If he did not always succeed," said B_en-Gurion, "it was not for lack of good will on his part." Pointing out that Mr. Hammarskjold lost his life "on a mission of peace," Ben-Gurion said Hammarskjold's death "is a grievous loss to the United Nations, particularly at this time of heightened tension in the world. ' Monday morning, at the very time Israel learned of Hammarskjold's tragic death, Prof. Martin Buber, professor of philosophy at . the Hebrew University, and one of the world's most noted philosophers, received a warm letter here from the UN chief. The latter had written the letter last week, at United ,Nations headquarters in New York, just before he left for the Congo. In his letter, Hammarskjold discussed his personal plan to translate into the Swedish language Prof. Buber's basic, philosophical work, "I and Thou." Hammarskjold wrote that he hoped to have the translation published in Sweden within the next year. Hammarskjold and Prof. Buber had met twice—once when Dr. Buber was in New York, again when Ham- marskjold was here and took time out from grave diplomatic negotiations to see Prof. Buber at the latter's home. On a number of occasions, Hammarskjold expressed his highest admiration for Prof. Buber and for the great Jewish scholar's philosophic thought and writings. At the United Nations Tuesday, veteran UN personalities intimately familiar with Hammarskjold expressed their belief that Hammarskjold had planned to propose Prof. Buber for a Nobel Prize in Literature. Hammar- skjold was a member of the Swedish Academy, the body which annually picks the Nobel Laureate in Literature. It was pointed out that the great French writer, Albert Camus, received a Nobel Prize after some of his works had been translated into Swedish by Hammarskjold. - Deep • Sorrow Expressed Over Hammarskjold's Death by Mrs. Meir UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA)—Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign Minister, here to head her country's delegation to the Dag Hanunarskjold General Assembly, expressed her government's and her personal "great shock" when she heard of the death of Secretary GeUeral Dag Hammarskjold in a plane crash in Northern Rhodesia. Mrs. Meir declared: "The news of the tragic and untimely death of the Secretary General, Mr. Dag Hammarskjold, has come as a great shock to my government and myself. He was a dedicated and tireless servant of humanity who gave his life in the course of duty. "I have called the Foreign Minister of Sweden to convey our sympathy to the bereaved family and to his government at the loss of a most distinguished son of Sweden." Mrs. Meir also sent a letter to Frederick H. Boland, of Ireland, outgoing president of the Assembly, expressing the same sentiments.
