Harry H. Trusted, Chief Justice of Palestine, testified all morning before the Palestine partition Commission, meeting in Camera.
The Havas News Agency reported that the commission received a letter from Emir Abdullah of Transjordan containing his proposal for uniting Palestine and Transjordan into a sovereign state with Britain retaining the mandate for ten years.
Meanwhile, violence continued. Police reported that sixteen attacks had occurred in the last 24 hours, besides four murders. Ezekiel Munczik, 20-year-old ghaffir of Hanita, died in Hadassah Hospital in Haifa of wounds suffered in a three-hour attack last night. In addition, murders occurred near Jerusalem and at Haila, and a Bedouin sheikh was slain near the Jewish colony of Benyamina. There were several uprootings in groves and arson of crops.
