Associated Press
Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM, Oct. 3 (AP)—At least 38 persons were killed today in new outbreaks of violence in the Holy Land, bringing to 106 the number of deaths since Saturday. Six persons were killed when a house in Jaffa was blown up by a bomb early this morning.
Twenty Jews, including 11 children and three women, were slain and three were wounded when an armed band, described by officials as Arab rebels, raided a suburb of Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee. The band entered numerous houses, firing indiscriminately at the sleeping occupants.”
Context added by this archive
The word Palestinian in an American headline, used for Jews. This archive already held one such use in a community weekly; this one is in display type in a general daily. Here it is the collective noun for everybody killed in Palestine that weekend, Arab and Jewish together, 106 of them. The copy underneath separates them again.
