Jews See Divine Hand In Creation Of Israel
(11 a.m.) LONDON. Oct. 3. The Chief Rabbi of Palestine, Dr. Isaac Herzog, in a Jewish New Year broadcast appealed for international peace and unity. He declared that the United Nations’ decision in 1947 to set up a Jewish State was “something in the nature ot a miracle because, despi e the manoeuvres of our many enemies, the United Nations actually presented us with the key with which to open the prison of our exile. The hand of Divine Providence is clearly evident in this and although out enemies backed by our political foes, face us in the field it is to no avail —no human power can tur n back the wheel set in motion by Providence.” Shell and rifle fire was intensified yesterday along Jerusalem’s ArabJewish border, says the Associated Press correspondent in Jerusalem.
An official Israeli source announced that the chief United States observer in Jerusalem, Colonel George Miller, with three other American observers and one Israeli liaison officer, were fired on by Egyptian troops south of Jerusalem when they were on an inspection tour. Nobody was injured.
