Arab disorders were unabated today, claiming the lives of a Jewish settler and an Arab policeman and resulting in imposition of curfew in the Old City. David Soltes, 24, was killed by terrorists who fired shots through the window of his hut on the outskirts of Kiryat Amal as he lay asleep. The authorities put the Old City under curfew following the slaying of an Arab policeman last night. Three Arabs captured last week in a battle near Ramleh were sentenced to death by a military court. Searches today uncovered an important cache of arms, munitions and uniforms in a cavern near Safed.
