JERUSALEM, OCT. 30-FIVE POWERFUL
EXPLOSIONS ROCKED THE JERUSALEM RAILWAY STATION TO-DAY JUST 40 MINUTES AFTER A MYSTERIOUS TELEPHONE WARN- ING HAD BEEN RECEIVED. BRITISH TROOPS AND POLICE WERE RUSHED TO EMERGENCY STATIONS AND A MOTOR-CYCLIST STATED TO BE CARRYING EXPLOSIVES WAS ARRESTED.
The entire station was damaged and will be out of action for at least a week. Cloudy smoke poured. through the station which was surrounded by soldiers and police who earlier had evacuated the personnel. A British police constable was killed while examining a "Builcase bomb" in the station cloakroom after the explosions, and police and British troops are now searching the rubble of the partially-wrocked railway station for further casualties.
The explosion started a blaze į and sent smoke clouds spiralling a hundred feet in the air.
According to unconfirmed reports four wounded Jewn-three men and one girl-were captured about half a mile from the railway station, after un exchange of shots with British troops.

Elimination Of Rickshaws In Shanghai
Shanghai, Oct. 30 (UP),-- Rickshaws, still one of the prin cipal means of urban transpor- tation, will be gradually eliminat- el in Shanghai.
The first 10 per cent of the 20,650 rickshow fleet of the elty will be refused municipal liceneca and taken off the streets early in No- vember or December, according to present plans.
Gradually, the rest of the ileet will be eliminated, leaving the pedienb the only mun-propelled passenger vehicle in the city. A pedicab is a tricycle converted into a passenger car with room for two persons. The driver rides the front.
ira
Municipal authorities explained that the process of elimination of the rickshaws has to be slow gradual because of the number of issues involved. The first 10 per cent may now go because the city has acquired and started operous several new buses. As more buses are made available, more rickshaws would go.
