Renewed Outrages
Statutory martial law has been proclaimed in the Measherim section, Jeru- salem's biggest and oldest Jewish district, as well as in Tel-Aviv, Petah Tidvah, Ramatgan and the village of Bnal Brak. This is a result of the latest Jewish terrorist outrages, in which 16 were killed in the bombing of the British Officers' Club, Jerusalem, five explosions were set off In Haifa and damage was done by road mines and bombs in other areas. The announcement of martial law was made in al special broadcast from Lieut-Gen. Sir Alan] Cunningham, High Commissioner for Pales- tine. Irgun Zvai Leumi, in a statement to the press, has announced its responsibility for the attack on the Officers' Club, saying "no for- tress protect the British from our soldiers." A late Reuter message from Jerusalem says that all British military units are being briefed for a counter-terrorist offensive. Jewish terrorist activities occurred over an 80-mile front in Palestine on Saturday, in which 19" people were killed and many injured.

Details behind the recent arrest of 800 members of a new Nazi underground organisation were revealed in London today by Dr. Robert Borel, French scientist, who is General Secretary of the International Committee for the study of European questions.
Declaring that this organisation had large German assets in the Argentine and Switzerland, Dr. Borel said that it dreamed of a triumphant Reich plan to open a newer and more horrible attack on civilisation.
