APPEAL FOR RELEASE OF INTERNEES
SNIPERS ACTIVE
United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph—Copyrieht. (Received November 5, 2.25 p.m.) JERUSALEM, November 4. A Jewish bus on the way to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv was ambushed and fired on on a mountain road, the driver and a passenger being slightly wounded. The driver managed to drive on.
An Arab . foreman of the Public Works Department was wounded when three Arabs sniped a house near Acre. Other snipers punctured the Irak pipeline near Beisan. The damage was repaired. Continual cutting of the telephone line in the neighbourhood of Gaza compelled the authorities to order the villagers /to appoint peasants vigilantes at the villagers' expense to patrol the line. Religious leaders have appealed to the Government to release all Arab internees with a view to the commencement of Ramadan (the Mohammedan Lent), when Moslems fast from sunrise to sunset. It was reported that 50 Arabs were released from a detention camp at Acre, where 500 .are interned under an ordinance for the prevention of crime, but this is officially denied.
