JEW EXTREMISTS PREPARE PLANS FOR BIGGER OFFENSIVE
Recd. 6.35 p.m. New York, Feb. 3 The Irgun Zvai Leumi,, the extremist group of the Zionist underground movement, is preparing plans for an offensive beyond the borders of the proposed Jewish State in Palestine, according to an anonymous underground Informant quoted by the Jerusalem correspondent of the "New York Times.” Irgun hopes to cc ordinate its tactics with those of Haganah, the official Zionist militia, he said, but because the Irgun had long been outlawed by the British governing authorities a merger of tne forces probably will not take place openly until Britain surrenders the Palestine mandate Whereas the Jews sat back in their villages during the previous Arab uprisings waiting to ward off attacks from the hills, the Irgun, according to the informant, now plans to seek out Arab forces, occupy Arab villager where bases might be maintained, and straighten out the boundaries of the proposed Jewish State so that some sort of front can be established.
