It was disclosed here today that the Government intends to transfer its offices from the Nablus Gate to the Palace Hotel in the center of the city in fear of renewed Arab attacks.
Troops were dispatched today to halt brigandage on the Jericho-Jerusalem road after a Jewish woman brought here in serious condition told of being held up and wounded.
The woman said that bands were robbing passing cars. She was found about midway between Jerusalem and Jericho by a member of the family of Grand Mufti Haj Amin el Husseini, head of the Arab Supreme Committee, who brought her to the city in his car.
