Late Palestine News 7 Jewish Policemen Slain in Ambush on Mt, Carmel

Seven Jewish special policemen were killed and eight others were missing tonight after ambush of a bus by an Arab band atop Mt. Carmel, near Haifa. Two Jewish girls, also passengers in the bus, were seriously wounded.

British soldiers of the West Kent Regiment engaged the band, killing seven Arabs and capturing five rifles and considerable ammunition.

The latest incident in the two-year-old Arab rebellion brought to an estimated 290 the Arab-Jewish death toll since July 1. Since that date 90 Jews have fallen victim to Arab terrorism. The Arab death toll is estimated at 200, a majority of whom fell in combat with British troops.

Earlier in the day, three Jews were wounded when a truck in which they were riding struck a land mine near Tel Litwinsky, west of Petach Tikvah. Joseph Beckerman, 33, was removed to a hospital in a serious condition.

An Arab plainclothesman, Mohammed Moghraby, was shot dead this afternoon while walking on David Street in the Old city of Jerusalem.

A Jewish bus en route to Rishon-le-Zion was ambushed and a passenger, Pessah Friedman, was wounded.

A desperate last-minute to save Mordechai Schwartz, Jewish constable scheduled to die on the gallows tomorrow for the murder of an Arab policeman last year, proved unavailing tonight as High Commissioner Sir Harold Alfred Macmichael refused an audience to a delegation from the chief Rabbinate of Palestine, and Agudath Israel, religious organization.

It was reliably learned, however, that Chief Justice Harry Trusted, who sitting alone in the Criminal Assize Court at Haifa convicted Schwartz, has cabled Sir Harold from London asking for clemency.
