Jews Ask Evacuation
Of Arab Legion After
Attack Fatal 10. "A
Troops Set Upon With
Grenodes in ReprisoI for
Convoy Moehinegunning
by the Associated Press

JERUSALEM, Dec. 15.-Jewish
leaders called on the Palestine
government today to order the
immediate evacuation from Pal
estine of all Trans-Jordan Arab
Legion troops, a detachment OF
which yesterday machine-gun-
ned a truck convoy near Tel
Aviv, killing IA Jews and wound
ing Is others.
The Arab Legion forces, which
are omcered by Britons, are On loan
to the Palestine government fol
police duty in the Holy Land.
Demands for withdrawal of the
forces conceded with a grenade
attack on a truckload of Arab
Legion troops near the Mutsaphs
police barracks in Jerusalem. One
soldier was injured in the bombing
Jews Charge Attacks.
A spokesman for Hagana de-
clared that failure of the British
to evacuate these foreign troops
will be considered British provoca.
ton against the Jewish defense
forces"
A Jewish Agency official, who also
demanded withdrawal of the Arat
Legion, said Legionnaires had at
tackled Jews in at least three places
yesterday.
He complained that highway Sc.
curity control was completely in
effective throughout Palestine ane
suggested that food conveys be lee
and followed by armored cars "as
they were during the Arab revolt Of
1869"
The official said that 1,700 Jewish
settlement police had been engaged
in convoy duty but that they wers
travelling in open cars and form
an open invitation to massacre.
Eighteen armored cars allotted tx
the settlement police are now ir
storage and the government will
not permit their use," he declared
"The government is conducting {
systematic campaign to disarm us,
the agency spokesman asserted.
Transportation Disrupted.
Overland transport throughout
Palestine-already badly disrupted
was further demoralized by the con
voy attack yesterday. Food supplies
in Jerusalem and other cities rar
low as the Holy Land began to fee
the pinch of broken communication
resulting from 16 days Of bitter com
munal strife that has cleaned "a.
lives.
An Arab woman and chile
wounded two days ago in the Jewish
attack on Al Yehudiya Gied during

Five scattered explosions RAM
through Jerusalem shortly aftel
noon. An official statement saie
four members Of the Trans--Jorda1
