How this transcription was made

The scan is the headline block only; there is no body text on it to transcribe. The three lines above it belong to a different story on the same page, so the column reads PUNISHMENT CONSIDERED OF NO VALUE and then 60,000 Arabs Leaving Haifa In Mass Exodus.

Context added by this archive

One of four American papers carrying the 23 April 1948 Haifa dispatch. This headline gives the 60,000 the verb: they are leaving, in a mass exodus. The Idaho Statesman that day said they were forced out (CP-1948-024).
