Palestine Faces New Threat Os Terrorism British Take Move Against Terrorists Jerusalem, Jan. 29—(UP-- British authorities thr atened dea’h for every member of Palestine's outlawed Jewish armies today and deployed thousand* of troops and police for a wholesale roundup of terrorwt-* throuvjtmit the Holy Land. Moving swiftly to forestall a threatened terrorint outbreak that veteran observers feared might prove the bloodiest in th mandate's history, the British invoked what amounted to military law for all Palestine. Army garrisons and police officials everywhere wer alerted for a mass arrest of known and suspected memlters of the Hleg.il Zionist organizations. British military commanders were mpowered to try and execute the outlaws on the s|>of. The harsh counter-measures were ord red in the wake of a brazen raid on an RAF station in south Palestine at noon yesterday, when 15 bandits disguised as British flier# stole 2WJ machine guns, and a lonsiderabic quantity of ammunition. Shortly befor midnight, it was announced that British patrols had recovered all the machine nuns ami were In ctaa* pursuit of the raiders, all believed to b members of a Jewish outlaw gang. The raid occurred noar the Jewish colony of Hehovot and appar ently was part of a w-11-laid plot to seize British weapons fur a new terrorist outbreak. The bandits slugged a Jewish civilian and four British airmen guarding the camp's arsenal and loaded Ute w apons into a stolen RAF truck and jeep. British regulars cordoned off the hundreds of Jewish settlers for questioning. In Jeruasl m, Bit Alan Cunningham, the British high commissioner. countered swiftly with a stern prot-lamat ion amending the Palestine defense laws to permit tin-1 prec dented repiisals against all terrorist organizations. Cunningham broadened the application of the death iwnalty, which hitherto applied only to persons committing sets of terror or carrying arms, to "persons who are mernb rs of any group or l>ody rxnnniltting offenses against them.- regulations.'* ——".'l The original name proposed for the state of Utah was Deseret and the first name of the University of Utah was the University of Deseret. • Tin- name Utah ls'dferive<f from the name of a trlla- of Indians, the Utea, natives of that part of the Ror-ky Mountains.

New Drugs for Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a condition characterized by attacks in which there may be spasms of the muscles with or without loss of consciousness. According to Doctor William G. Lennox of the Harvard Medical School, there are seven lypre of seizures which may occur in epilepsy. The first is known as Jacksonian. 5n this condition there nre convulsive movements which begin in an arm or leg and spread upward. The patient does not lose consciousness. Feeal Fit Ths second type is known m a focal fit. In this condition the convulsion or spasm may he limited to one side of the body, with turning of the eyes and head to one side. The third type is known as grand ma I epilepsy, in which there are loss of consciousness and eonvulsiuns affecting the whole body. Fourth Group Psychomotor seizures make up the fourth group. In these cases, the patients have amnesia or the state in which they do not know what they are doing. After the attack is over, the patient has no memory of what occurred, and may even Im- unaware that anything took * bet.
