Salim Abdul Rachman, son of the Mayor of Tul Kerem, and leader of the Moslem Christian Association in Palestine, has been exposed as none other than the leader of a band of robbers, according to police reports published here today.

The evidence against him shows that he was involved in a series of robberies and raids upon Arab and Jewish villages recently. The arrested Arab leader was decorated by the British Government on the occasion of King George’s last birthday.
