Disorders continued in various parts of Palestine today, with six Jews wounded and five Arab terrorists killed in the past 24 hours. An American-trained physician, Dr. Abraham Tobias Sternberg, 49, was one of two Jews wounded today. Dr. Sternberg, who is a native of Palestine but received his medical training in Baltimore, was shot in the Arab quarter of Safed, where he is director of the Government Hospital. Five members of an Arab band were killed and several others wounded in a clash with police in northern Palestine yesterday following a land mine explosion in which four Jews were wounded.
