“DAMASCUS, Syria, Nov. 30 (UP)—Seven Syrians were killed in a student-Communist clash over the partition of Palestine today after an enraged mob stoned the United States and French legations and hauled down the American flag… As the crowd stormed the building those inside fired and three students were killed. Roused to fury, the demonstrators set fire to the building and four Syrian Communists were burned to death.”
