TERRORIST ATTACKS CONTINUE INTO ELEVENTH SUCCESSIVE DAY

Later in the day several shots were fired at a military vehicle near the entrance to Jerusalem. Simultaneously, a grenade exploded, shattering windows in nearby buildings. The blast set off a city-wide alarm and sirens began wailing. There were no casualties and the attackers escaped. In Tel Aviv, this afternoon, four armed Jews held up the office of the Shemen Factory and escaped with $4,000 in cash.

A wooden bridge between Benyamina and Zichron Jacob, which was erected as a temporary structure following the blasting of the permanent span on Thursday, was destroyed by fire last night. Earlier yesterday, two Royal Signal Corps men were killed when they struck a booby trap while repairing a cable on the Jerusalem-Jaffa road. An attempt to blow up the Haifa-Cairo express was thwarted when the detonator leading to a huge mine failed to work.

Thirty-two Jewish families living in three houses in Haifa must evacuate their homes by tomorrow morning under an order issued by Gen. E. L. Bols, commander of northern Palestine. Bols charges, although no evidence has been produced, that the residents of the houses aided terrorists who laid mines in the Haifa area in recent days. Ten-year-old Hadassah Sinkovsky was wounded in the jaw last night by a ricochetting bullet which entered her third-floor bedroom. It is believed to have been fired by soldiers who shoot at random during the dusk-to-dawn curfew, which is still in force in Haifa.

Jerusalem’s curfew last night prevented, for the second successive year, the traditional evening observances at the Wailing Wall on the eve of Tisha B’/v, which marks the destruction of the Temple, of which the Wailing Wall is believed to be the last remaining section. Only a dozen or so Jews were at the Wall, most of them newspapermen. Dr. Israel Goldstein, president of the American United Palestine Appeal, was there for a short time.
