Arabs Watchful in Holy Land As Shepherds 1937 Yrs. Ago
Moslem Factions Resent British Plan for 3-Way Palestine Partition, Distrusting Jews and All Other Elements Involved
Webb Miller, United Press
Transcribed from the clipping
By Webb Miller, United Press, Jerusalem via London, Dec. 22: “Bitter determination to resist the British Royal Commission's recommendations for the partition of Palestine into three parts is being increasingly manifest as the Christmas season approaches at the scene of Christ's birth. Rioting, bloodshed and daily assassinations have, if anything, increased in their recurrence.”

The Paducah Sun ran a shortened take of the Webb Miller dispatch; the Indianapolis News of the same date printed it at length, with the Arab case set out in ten numbered points.
