Trained Arab Troops
Reported Poised for
Sweep Into Palestine
by the Asseeiofsd Press

YARMUK ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Palestine, Mar. 26.-Ten
thousand trained Arab troops bill
leted in the hill villages of ancient
Samaria await orders expected to
send them sweeping across the Plains
of Sharon to Jewish strongholds on
the Mediterranean coast.
Tough irregular forces cover their
ianks, south beyond Hebron to the
Negev, north to Syria and Lebanon.
Behind them for a thousand miles
stretch the mountains and deserts
of Arabia from which they draw
their strength in men, arms, food
and money.
Before them, and plainly visible
from their mountain posts, lies a
narrow crescent of plain and coast
occupied by an enemy they assess
as foreign invader of their home
land.
Army Widely Supported.
All about them are their own
people, speaking the same tongue,
sharing the same traditions, sing
ing the same songs.
These people provide them with
hospitals, doctors and nurses: daily

Hsifa to bring the fuel that keeps
them mobile.
Observers agree this is no rag, tag,
and bobtail outfit. Many of these
men are from the best families in
Arabia. Their morale is high. They
are well fed, we'll clothed and well
paid.
Almost all had military service
with modern armies during the war.
Their arms are not the best but
they are the types best suited to
the short charging In fighting they
anticipate. There are plenty of
rifles, pistols. knives. grenades and
bullets. They have mortars, tommy
guns, machine guns, bombs and
some field artillery. They ride in
jeeps, trucks and q few armored
cars.
Jewish Strength Tested.
Small irregular strikes in a hun
dred places since November 90 gave
them opportunity to test the Jewish
strength.
Every Yarmuk soldier-along with
the average Arab man In the street
and on the farm-is convinced of
final Arab victory.
A young sergeant who served four
years with the British Army from
Egypt to Greece said 1T won't be
long now"
1--WE will take them in month
after the British leave" said
Palestinian private with a Scottish
accent, IF the Jews are still willing
to fight"
With all their optimism, however,
these boys and scores of others agree
the final clash will be bloody and
bitter and many men will die In
olive and orange groves and battered
city streets.
They also agree that such clash
Is inevitable unless foreign powers
find peaceful and lasting solution
to the Palestine problem that does
not involve partition.
Peacefulness Cited.
eve might as we'll die as let
these foreigners take an Arab coun-
try" said an Iraqi lieutenant. I'VE
are peaceful people, like Americans,
but what would Americans do if
foreigners tried to take one of their
48 States?"
For the most part these Yarmuk
fighters are young, educated and
politically conscious.
Their leaders have convinced them
that a Jewish state in the Middle
East would constitute a threat to
Arab progress, make them slaves to
Jewish capital abroad.
When that threat is ended, they
say, they want to return home and

which can take a place In the world
society Of free nations.
Jews who are willing to live and
work with them as democratic citi-

share the progress and prosperity
they anticipate.
II the Jews want more than that,
they say, they will have to pay for
