June 5, 1947
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

Scotland Yard spokesman today denied in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency a report in the press here that Jewish extremists are sending letters from Italy to prominent people in England filled with explosives and arranged to detonate when opened. Such letters were reported to have been received by Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery, Sir Stafford Cripps and Major General Sir Edward Spears. The assumption that the senders were Jewish extremists is apparently due to the fact that Gen. Spears is admittedly anti-Zionist.
