Nev; Arab ‘Army’ Drills in View 01 British Men Jewish Telegraphic Agency NEW YORK—Despite a strict Palestine law prohibiting private use of firearms and the uniforming of private groups, a contingent of the Mufti’s private army paraded in Bethany, Palestine, several days ago in the presence of three uniformed members of the Palestine police, and in full view of Government House, home of the British High Commissioner. According to an Associated Press report, the Mufti’s soldiers were dressed in American army uniforms “recently purchased,” it was said, "from surplus stocks at Cairo." The rifles and sidearms were “acquired individually and privately.” The parade ,the uniforms, and the weapons were pompletely ignored by British authorities. Meanwhile ,the British army in Palestine is using mine detectors and dogs especially trained to unearth metal of any kind in their search for arms in Hebrew cities and villages all over Palestine. The American League for a Free Palestine said the pattern has a frightening similarity to the development of events which led up to the riots of 1929 and 1936. These riots were preceded by raids on the settlements staged by British troops in which all guns and other weapons which the Jews might use to defend themselves were confiscated. Thoroughly satisfied that the Hebrews were entirely defenseless, armed Arab bands shouting "the Government is with us,” swooped down on the villages, murdered the inhabitants, and pillaged and sacked the settlements. Near Eastern experts expect the long threatened Holy War to break soon.
Chicago Sets Up Civil Rights Division Special CHICAGO—Believed to be the first of its kind in the country, a civil rights division has been established as part of Chicago’s city law department, it was announced by Corporation Counsel Barnet Hodes.
