ARAB STRIKE Major Crisis Looms In Palestine

Jerusalem, Oct. 1.
For the first time since the 1936-39 Arab revolt, the full strength of Hagania-the largest and most moderate Jewish underground force with a strength exceeding 75,000 members has alerted to stand by this week-end. The alert followed reports to Hagana intelligence that the exiled Grand Mufti of Jerusalemi, Haj Amin Husseini, from his headquarters in Cairo had ordered Palestine Arabs to observe Fri- day as the first day of the Arab "uprising" in Palestine.
