7 Land Is Gripped by Reign of Terror While

Yule Season Approaches

Paths Trod by Christ Are Stained by Blood in Latest Revolt.

This is the first in a series of dispatches by Webb Miller, famous war correspondent of the United Press, on troubles in the Holy Land.

\ By WEBB MILLER United Press European News Manager (World Copyright, 1937, by United Press)

JERUSALEM, VIA LO , Dec. 20 (U. P.).—The Holy Land, sacred to three great faiths of mankind aggregating nearly 900,000,000 -human beings, today is again undergoing a reign of blood, tears and terror at a season when the Christian world pays reverence to Christ, the Prince of Peace. Ground trod by Christ has been drenched with blood. Shots assassinating innocent people have echoed near holy spots hallowed by their association with the Savior. Military motor cars mounted with machine guns patrol the roads that Christ traveled and sandbagged parapets have been erected for defense of biblical places. Issa Bandok, Arab mayor of Bethlehem on whom three attempted assassinations have been made, has announced ‘that he will refrain from the usual participation in Christmas ceremonies at Christ's birthplace this year.

Seventh Major Outbreak

This month marks the 20th anniversary of Great Britain's occupation of Jerusalem and the continuance of the seventh major outbreak of Arab rebellion in 15 years against the methods of execution of the League of Nations mandate, implementing Britain’s wartime promise to the Jews of the world to facilitate their return to their “promised land.” The mandate established a Jewish national home in Palestine after 2000 years of exile and dispersion throughout the world, Arabs have ‘renewed their rebellion aimed likewise (and they claim it is their preponderant objective) toward attainment of their aspirations for national independence and selfgovernment. This, they assert, was equally promised them by Britain during .the World War, in return for the support of Arabs in fighting against Germany in Turkey. They point out that development of selfgovernment institutions was implicit ih the mandate for Pales-

r tine granted by the international

powers through the League. These seven successive outbreaks have taken a toll of about 1300

3 | killed and 1800 wounded including

British, Arabs, and Jews. The number of injured is perhaps doubled if those slightly injured in riots are included. From the viewpoint of casualties alone, the 1929 and 1936 outbreaks were the most serious.

Report Brings Flareup

The pr on flared up after the issuance of a report of the British Royal Commission which recommended the scheme of partition of Palestine into three divisions: An

% | independent Jewish state; an in-

dependent Arab state, and a narrow corridor which included the holy places, giving access to the sea under a new British mandate. In that plan the Arabs hear the death knell of their hopes for com-

35 | plete rule over territory they have |

inhabited for 13 centuries and for that reason the present outbreak is in many ways more critical than preceding disturbances. The seriousness with which Britain regards the present Arab resistance is indi-

Ya | cated by the fact that she has in-

stituted more drastic repressive measures than at any other time since the mandate was instituted. Here are a few of them: The establishment of military courts—for the first time since the World War—with authority to impose death sentences for the possession of firearms. The arrest and deportation to Seychelles Islands of several members of the Arab Higher Committee and dissolution of this foremost political organism or Arabs, Liquidation of the post of Grand Mufti, chairman of the Moslem Supreme Council, the principal or-

| cittstion carried out by Sir Arthur Wauchope has broken down and been replacec by present policy of repression. Sweeping clianges in British administration offices including the appointment of Sir Harold MacMichael as the new High Commissioner to repisce Wauchope who had been in office seven years; the appointment of Gen. Haining to replace Gen. Wavell as comman general officer in Palestine; the portation from India of Sir Charles Tegart, famous for his repression of Bengal terrorists, to act as police advisor. Factor Is Significant

A most significant factor has been the intensified inflammation of Arab najionalism in Palestine coupled with mounting evidence of the bonds between the outside Arab and Moslem world and the Palestine nationalists, bonds that have been graphically illustrated by frequent demonstrations of sympathy in Syria, Iraq, Hedjaz, Arabia, Egypt, and India. This inflammation has been further aggravated and given a touch of bitterness by the realization that their racial brothers and co-religionists in Syria, Lebanon, and territories mandated by the League to France are about to achieve independence. Neighboring countries, including Iraq, Transjordania, Hedjaz, Saudi Arabia-—considered by the Palestine arabs as ‘less policically and economically developed and hence less worthy of independence than themselves—already have become independent. Other elements inherent in the new Arab rebellion include the phenomenon of Jewish extremist reprisals against Arab terrorism; growing disappearance of religious divergencies between Christian Arabs and Moslem Arabs in the interest of complete Arab nationalism; - economic crisis’ induced by riots which have ruined the normally remunerative tourist trade; ‘the imposition of drastic curfew laws; destruction by authorities of several houses but without the desired effect of stamping out guerilla warfare and terrorist activities. Daily Outrages Continue Thus day-by-day and week-by-week outrages continue throughout the country, taking also the form of assassinations or attempts upon the lives of Arab policemen who are regarded as pro-British. Wanton bombing and shooting of innocent Jews, firing upon Jewish busses, almost nightly attacks upon Jewish assemblages, uprooting Jewish plantations and farms, firing of Jewish homes, destruction of Jewish cattle, and threats against Arab officials who are accused of insufficient or insincere nationalism—those are the. happenings of the day in the Holy Land. Many of the incidents here are considered too “petty” to be cabled abroad as news, but in the aggregate they are seething at the bottom of the country’s turbulent national ' life and contribute to the general state of insecurity and continual tension. An unusual aspect of the present “phase” is the campaign of assassination and intimidation of British officials, the majority of previous outbreaks ‘having been confined to Anti-Jewish campaigns. One Arab leader said to me: “We are now convinced that Britisn policy favors the Jews. Thus we must fight them (the British)

RECLUSE KILLS 2 AND HIMSELF

Little-Known Son of Rich Texan ‘Widow Slays Her and Brother.

‘SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 20 (U. P.).—Her closest friends learned today for the first time that Kate Brandle Menefee, a wealthy widow of a distinguished family, had been keeping a recluse son in her home— a son who Sunday killed her, his brother and himself. * His name was Brandle Menefee. A relative explained today that his health was poor and he had spent most of his life confined to a single room of his mother’s home. Only those persons who had been close to the Menefee family for many years even knew of the son's existence and the subject was never discussed. No one recalled his age, but he was past 32 because the younger brother whom he killed, Thomas W. Menefee, a proniinent attorney, was that age. The neighbors always thought that the widow lived alone in her house and that Thomas usually came for Sunday dinner. They saw Thomas arrive yesterday, as usual. And then, a little later, they heard a dozen pistol shots from the direction of the house which is in a fashionable residential section. Justice of the Peace O. L. Wiley conducted an inquest and gave & verdict of murder and suicide.
