ARAB TERRORISM
PALESTINE'S EMERGENCY FUNDS FROM ABROAD JERUSALEM, June 3 Terrorism continues, although five British battalions are now garrisoning Jerusalem and netv emergency regulations have been introduced. Arabs unsuccessfully attempted to wreck a troop train which was conveying a battalion of the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment. They blew up two bridges on the Jerusalem-Hebron road and destroyed telephone wires. Other Arabs seriously wounded two Jews. Policemen and a platoon of Scots Fusiliers arrested the assailants. At Bethlehem 500 Arabs stoned the police, who charged with batons and arrested four. Two of the police were wounded. The pay of the police has been increased one shilling a day. A bomb exploded near the lighthouse at Acre. The Arabs are apparently subsidised from abroad, because the strikers, whose funds recently were at a low ebb, have been lavishly buying arms, which are coming in from Transjordania.
