Transcribed from the clipping

BEIRUT, Lebanon, March 27 (Reuters) — Al Fatah, the Arab guerrilla group, announced tonight that it had decided to rebuild Karameh, in Jordan, “to be the first defense town in a plan to establish defensive fighting towns and villages.” Karameh was badly damaged last week in an attack by the Israelis.

How this transcription was made

Read from the scan by a machine looking at the image of the page, not by optical character recognition and not by a person. The clipping carries no masthead and no dated folio line, so the date recorded here could not be checked against anything printed on the page. Nothing on the page contradicts it.
