Three Arabs were under arrest today on charges of complicity in the murder of Police Sergeant Moshe Rosenfeld, who was shot down by a band of Arabs Thursday at Affuleh near the Jewish colony of Ein Charod while searching for thieves who had been looting grapefruit groves. One of them was reported by the police to have confessed.
At the colony, Sergeant Rosenfeld was buried yesterday in the presence of his parents, his small children and thousands of Jewish colonists who had come for the rites from all over the Jordan valley. A eulogy was delivered by Moshe Shertok, member of the World Zionist Executive, who is at the colony investigating the murder.
