Further arrests by the French police are expected in connection with the discovery yesterday of a large arms cache destined for shipment to the “Jewish underground” in Palestine. Ten persons have already been seized by the police as part of the group attempting to ship Sten guns rifles, machineguns, hand grenades and British made bullets. Large sums of money in British and French banknotes were also found.
The arms were discovered in the garage of a rag merchant, Eugene Horn, in the La Chapells district of Parts. The police said that they surprised the men loading the supplies for shipment to Marseille from where they were to be transshipped to Palestine. Among those arrested was Joseph Kohn, said to have been born in the United States.
