The police commandant of Jerusalem attaches no significance to the discovery of five old unfinished bombs found in the Garden of Gethesmane. An official statement on this matter will be issued today. The Arabs had become alarmed at the discovery of the bombs and alleged that it was a plot to blow up the procession of Nebi Musa which is to pass near the Garden. The police are skeptical as to the tale of a plot.
