Abraham Fleischer, a Jewish resident of this city, was wounded last night by a passing police patrol on Allenby Road. He was taken to the government hospital in Jaffa.

Willy Millbauer, a 32-year -old Tel Aviv Jew, was thrown down last night by unknown persons from the roof of his flat and died instantly. His death is linked here with a threat to his life for refusing to contribute $4,000 to an unnamed underground organization.

Six suspects have been arrested thus far in connection with the armed attack yesterday on the two police stations in Tel Aviv. One of the Jewish policemen who participated in the exchange of fire with the terrorists was seriously wounded.
