JERUSALEM, October 26. A Jewish lorry driver was shot dead and an escorting Arab constable seriously wounded when a convoy of the Palestine Potash Company was travelling to Jerusalem from the Dead Sea and was ambushed near the Inn of the Good Samaritan, half-way from Jericho, i Filing continued even after the arrival of the police and members of the Air Force. Two Jewish constables on duty in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem were fired on from a roof. One was wounded. A bomb exploded near a synagogue in the Old City, and one Jewish constable was wounded. After an exhaustive search, Hamdi Effendi Husseini, a member of the Grand Mufti's family, was arrested. He was formerly head of the anti-imperial-istic League.
