Three Jews were killed yesterday in continuing disorders. Heavy casualties were reported to have been inflicted on a band of Arabs in a clash with troops in the Safed region. Military authorities in Jerusalem announced, as a measure to combat Arab shopkeepers’ strikes, that shops would be padlocked for an additional period equal to the time they would be closed in any future strikes. The Haifa military court sentenced seven Arab terrorists to death on charges of having firearms and resisting the British forces.
