Palestine Riots Flare Anew in Haifa
Arab Mobs Fire Jewish Lumber Yard · Vicious Gun Battle Creates No Man’s Land In Jaffa-Tel Aviv Area; British Ready to Act
By Eliav Simon, United Press, Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“Jerusalem, Palestine, Dec. 3 (UP)—Fresh rioting broke out tonight in Haifa, the great oil port of Palestine. Arabs and Jews earlier fought an hours-long engagement in the Jaffa-Tel Aviv no man’s land and British troops broke up with gunfire an Arab mob assault on the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem… Ten men—seven Arabs and three Jews—were reported killed in the fighting in the border areas between the twin cities of Jaffa, which is Arab, and Tel Aviv, which is Jewish… This brought the toll of casualties in two days of disorder following the country’s partition to 23 killed and 102 wounded. Hundreds more have suffered minor injuries.”

A whole front page. The Palestine banner runs above a foreign aid bill, a taxicab driver beaten by a passenger, eighteen shopping days till Christmas, and a photograph of a mother and the baby she strangled before taking her own life.
