ARABS TAKE TOLL OF JEWS
Over 60 Killed In Pitched Battles Rescue Of Survivors By MONTY British Troops & Police STODGY
Jerusalem, Mar. 28.
In the most violent outbreaks since the announcement of the in- tention to partition Palestine, Jews and Arabs in the past 24 hours fought armed actions amounting to veritable pitched battles at two places in Palestine.
The latest official reports soid 42 Jews were' killed at Kabiri, in Northern Palestine, while nearly 20 Jews were slain by Arobs at King Solomon's Pool, six miles south of Jerusalem. The official report on the Kabiri incident said a six-vehicle convoy was ambushed last night by 250 Arabs.

AND DRY!
New York, Mar. 28. Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery was accused by critics today of ungenerous treatment of other Allied commanding generals in his book "Normandy to the Bal- tic".
The book, which has just been published here, was cri ticised by reviewers in the New York Herald Tribune and the New York Times as "not particularly illuminating" and a "slodgy, dry as dust, narra- tive".
The Herald Tribune reviewer, Walter Millis, sakd: "It will cer- tainly pour no oil upon the al- ready raging seas of Inter-Allied 99904 | controversy over who won the
