"Horrible Massacre"
Transcribed from the clipping
The Jewish extremist groups, Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern gang, took Deir Yassin Friday and still are entrenched there. All Arabs and many Jews now describe the Irgun-Stern attack on the village as a 'horrible massacre.' A Red Cross check showed many women and children among the 254 Arab dead there.
