Two Palestine Trains
lAre Blasted BY Mines;
Two Officers Killed
! " ike Asseeiuied Press

JERUSALEM, May 49,. Mines
planted by the Jewish under
ground wrecked two Palestine
trains today, killed two British
officers, injured five other per-
sons, damaged three bridges and
disrupted railway service in the
Holy Land.
Unexploded mines were discovered
on trackage in the Jerusalem and
Tel Ayiv areas, officials said, and
some sources said a large-scale at
tack on the Palestine railway sys-
TEN may have been timed on the
assumption that the United Ma
tions Assembly session on Palestine
would end last night.
II such was the case, these sources
said, the train INNINGS might be
the forerunner of renewed large
scale violence.
Train Carrying 500 Blasted.
The two British officers perished
when a mine exploded as bomb
disposal squad was trying to deal
with it on the track near Acre,
scene OF q mass prison break 10
days ago. Two other officers and
a sapper were injured, one OF them
seriously.
A train carrying 300 workers was
blasted near Bat Gallim on the
Haifa-Jaffa line, injuring one work
man. The explosion lifted the en-
CINE and two freight cars from the
rails and tore out more than &c
yards of track. +
Near Rehovot, in the Tel Aviv
area, another blast partially de-
rallied freight train, injuring the
engineer slightly.
The explosion disrupted rail serv-
ice south from Haifa, Palestine s
main rail center.
An accidental explosion of para
chute flare set off a 20-minute
emergency alarm in this jittery city
this morning, with British troops
rushing to the scene near the pom!
where the underground shot had
killed two British constables Mon
day night.
Two Soldiers Injured.
Military patrols, investigating ex-
plosions which injured two British
soldiers last night, arrested two
Jews in Northern Palestine. Au-
thorities said they were carrying a
Stem gun, two pistols, grenades'
ammunition and homemade mine
Two others escaped.
Two casualties occurred at the
British Army camp at sarafand, 80
miles south of Jerusalem, when a
mine exploded in the entrance OF
the garrison motion picture theater
Onicials said the mine had been
smuggled into the camp In q gas
mask by extremists who somehow
got by the heavily guarded gate and
made their way into q bar opening
of the main part of the theater.
In Northern Palestine attempts
were made to cut the railway be-
tween Chedera and Benyamina In
several places.
The Palestine government an
nounced that summary military
courts would be established Ito In
sure speedy punishment of persons
guilty of offenses affecting security
and to relieve civil courts. The

Moose Blocks us Mail
Through Glacier
Again

For five hours last Friday, the
United States mails to Polebridge
and Trail Creek post offices were
blocked by belligerent COW
moose.
Having moose trouble again was
mail carrier, Earl Ryan, who ira
vels in Glacier National park
on his way from Bolton to Pole
bridge. Last February 4, Ryan,
who has special permit to carry
a gun, had to shoot a park moose
that charged his snowmobile. The
animal dropped dead less than
two feet away.
This time. Ryan, not wanting
a reputation as slayer of Glacier
National park moose, decided to
outwait the big COW that blocked
his path. No amount of gentle
urging would make her move,
and it took from 10 a. m. until
3 p. m. before the COW decided
to let the United States mail
pass.
Ryan is now considering a re-
quest to park superintendent, j.
w. Emmert for permission to try
tear gas as moose dispenser.

February figures, commented
Redpath, represent a S per cent
increase in Flathead unemploy-

OF unemployment is dependence
on seasonal work such as lumber
ing, now handicapped by heav-
