Jerusalem, Apr. 11,

The Jewish Agancy Executivo was tonight under- stood to have accepted the "coose firo" call for a truce made by Gönoral Sir Alan Cunningham, the High Commissioner for Palestino, "eight days ago, reliable sources here said.

The report of the acceptance came a few hours after last night's shelling of three suburbs of Jeru- salem by Arab artillery, firing from a point near Kastel village, five miles west of Jerusalem, as the Arab "Liberation Army" tightened the blockade of the roads connecting the Holy City with the coast.

The Arab Higher Committee. according to Arab sources, is considering the appeal, as it has been referred to the Political Committee of the Arab League now sitting in Cairo.

There was a new development in Palestine's growing com- munication problems today

No explanation was given for the suspension. Twice the crack Calro-Haifa express has been derailed
