FIGHTS SUNDAY
in PALESTINE
CONTINUED from Page y


Of the empire had reported receiv.
Ing letters from Arab leaders and
members Of the Arab Intelligence
Service, informing them that let
ters written to them from Palestine
had been intercepted. Usually, the
Arabs recopied the original letters,
emitting parts Of them, and fore
warded what remained to the adj
dresses. One woman complained
that she had received q letter from
Abdul Rack explaining that O let
ter written by her husband IN Pal.
estine had been seized by "censors
Of the Arab Provisional Govern
ment." Abdul Rack repeated what
her husband had written but I'D.
mitted that he had omitted some
Of her husbands remarks which
were "a frank analysis Of the situ-
alton from the English viewpoint"
He apologized for "the necessity Of
retaining the original letter"
As o result Of this incident.
British officers feared that the
Arabs might have marked for as
sassination persons who had ex-
pressed strong view regarding the
Palestine situation, such as the dis.
trict commissioners In Nazareth and
Jenin.
Rebels Are Cunning
An example Of the rebels cunning
was reported from Liberals, where
they burend several Jewish build
ings including O synagogue only 30
yards away from q military camp.
The Arabs hid their real objective
by first firing on the town han,
drawing most Of the guards TO that
vicinity which left the Jewish sec.
ton unprotected. Then they at
tackled II and killed 81 jews, In
GLIDING two from the United States.
An Arab spokesman, commenting
on that attack, said 1t was In
tended TO prove that any partitions
ing Of Palestine would not save the
Jews even In territories where they
were in majority.
PaIestlne Status Quo
washington. oct. iT--(UP)-sec-
rotary OF state Hull disclosed today
that Great Britain has assured the
United States 1t will maintain o po-
litical status quo In Palestine until
completion Of the partition COM
missions report.
This government had expressed
its concern over reports that Britain
was considering closing Palestine
to further Jewish immigration and
terminating It's status as the Jewish
national homeland.
In O letter to Rep. Hamilton
Fish, r., N. T., ranking minority
member Of the House Foreign Az
fairs committee, Hull said that the
British government expected the
report about "the latter part OF 0c-
tcber."
On instruction from the state de.
partment, he said, Ambassador JOS
eph p. Kennedy had conferred with
British ofiicials and had been as
sured that no final decision Is 70
be made" until the Palestine COM
mission has completed its study.

MCKENZIE RIVER COUNTRY ROOMS DUR INC SUMMER
George Robbins, Partner of Bill Strong, in from
 Tulsequah

George Robbins, partner of Capt. and trader formerly operating on the Taku River, flew into Juneau yesterday evening with Marine Air ways from Tulsequah to report the Strong Robbins tra d in g business good" and the Mckenzie River country booming"
 Robbins and Strong operate thBee trading posts, one at Lower Post on the Lizard, one at Fort Nelson, high on the Nelson River, tributary of the Lizard and one at Telegraph Creek. They also operate river boat on the Dease River and one on the Stikine River, the boat Taku formerly operated out of Juneau on the Taku River.
 The Jeanne, well-known in Ju- neau, is now on the beach for the winter at Tulsequah, Robbins said. He and Strong went to Tulsequah lIOIll tIic oOlh1llC iCCCiIOiy WlolicuO stopping at Juneau and put the Jeanne up for the winter, or until she is needed again.
 Robbins headquarters are at Fort Nelson, where there is pretty fair fur, better trading, and wonderful climate
 Fort Nelson and Lower Post on the Liard used to be "a long ways from anywhere" Today they have airplane service once a week, Rob- ] bins said.
 The airplane service is but a year old Planes flying the new Interior route from Edmonton to Whitehorse and ncouver to Whitehorse for the United Amer ican Transport, land at both Fort Nelson and Lower Post. To get to Lower Post, one used to have to go up the Stikine to Telegraph Creek, then over the Portage 72 miles to Dease Lake, then 200 miles downriver on the Dease to Lower Post on the Liard, the roundtrip taking about a month
 The trip to Fort Nelson from Edmonton, now just days trip, using airplanes, used to take the traveller by rail to Fort Smith, then down the Mckenzie to Fort Simp- son, thence up the Liard to the Nelson River and so on up the Nelson River to Fort Nelson on the upper reaches.
 That trip is somewhere around 5000 miles long and takes about six weeks Robbins figured up. There's nothing to it with planes"
 Robbins also said the Mckenzie River had it's heaviest traffic year in history this last year, with 50,- 900 tons of freight going downriver to mining areas this summer.
 Only mining activity in Robbins section of the country is in one coal prospect.
 An outfit was prospecting coal deposits near Fort Nelson last year with view to competition with oil wells at Fort Norman down the Mckenzie. They figure coal can be shipped to mining outfits, down. river, cheaper than oil can be shipped upriyer, but I don't know that anything has been done with it as yet"
 Robbins will take a southbound boat sometime in the next few days for a vacation on the Outside.
