MAJESTIC BUT MENACING-Completely blotting out the sun, smoke and steam are shown rolling upward from the volcanoes that crunted recently near Rabaul, capital of New Britain Island, northeast of Australia. Hundreds fed the molten flood and smothering ash from the two volcanic outpourings, but 262 met horrible deaths in the disaster.
Haj Amin el Husseini, the Mutli of Jerusalem and Arab lender who protested against the estab lishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, as recommended by the Palestine Royal Commission. He was president of the Arab High Committee that appealed to the Arab kings.
HORROR IN ITS GRANDEUR-Presenting nature's spectacular grandeur on a huge scale, here is a most unique plcture of the two volcanoes fù eruption near Rabaul, New Britain Island, northeast of Australia. The picture was taken at sunset from the freighter Golden Bear, which assisted in evacu- ating residents of the city. Despite rescue work, 202 persons were trapped in the molten inva and
flying astics, to succumb to deaths of horror. About 750 were rescued.
