STRIKE PLANNED
DECISION OF PALESTINE ARAB
COMMITTEE
PRISONERS DEPORTED
(Rec. 10.35 a.m.) ' JERUSALEM, March 1
The Palestine Arab High Committee decided to call a general strike tomorrow as a protest against the reported removal from detention in Brussels and the deportation to the Seychelles Islands of five Palestine Arabs captured in Germany after the end of the war.
The committee has sent protests to Britain and to the United Nations about the deportation of the Arabs, and to all Arab states.
Three of the Arabs concerned are kinsmen of Jamal Husseini, former leader of the Palestine Arabs, who was recently permitted to return from exilp. They escaped from Iraq and went to Germany after the abortive anti-British revolt in Iraq in 1941. It is officially announced in Jerusalem that 25 Jews were arrested following the discovery of arms hidden near an Arab Legion camp at Jebel Canaann, the scene of recent abortive attacks by terrorists.
