Death, strikes, insults st the
United States and grim threats of
a holy war developed swiftly in
the eastern Mediterranean today in
wake of a United Nations decision
ot partition Palsetlne, a move
which incensed Araos throughout
the area.
Seven Jews were killed in the
Holy Land. Four other persons
were slain at the Syrian capital of
Damascus during an attack on
Communist headquarters and the
cultural center of the Russians,
who like the United States sup-
ported the move to create a Jew-
ish state in part of the Holy Land.
The American legation in Da-
mascus was stoned, its flag was
ripped down, its shutters torn oft
and some of its windows broken.
Cries Against Jews
Shouts of "down with the United
States," "down with the American
University" and "give us arms"
rang through the streets of an-
cient Cairo. Students also cried out
against Jews.
The threat of holy war seemed
Implicit In utterances of Abdel
Rahman Azzam Pasha, secretary
of the Arab League of seven na-
tions with 33,000,000 Arabs. He de-
clared the Arabs never would sub-
mit to partition.
"I cannot say where and wh_n I
will place my troops," he declared.
"I can only say we will fight and
are preparing for victory, ft Is a
question of life or death. We never
wanted violence or war. x x x Now ■ V*
our hands are forced to a definite
course for which Palestine Arabs
and the whole Arab world have no
alternative."

A Cairo informant said King Ibn
Saud of Saudi Arabia had agreed
to give oil revenues paid him by
U. 8. oil companies, estimated at
$18,000,000 annually, to support
Arab military resistance. There
was no comment from the king.
The Arabs called for a thrae-day
general strike throughout Palea-
tine beginning tomorrow and tight-
ened the boycott of Jews. Sixteen
Arabs were wounded slightly at
Acre prison when guards opened
fire on prisoners attacking Jewish
Inmates.
Hagans, the Jewish underground
army, was said to have 50.000 to
70.000 troops ready for battle. It
called for mobilisation of Jews,
women as well as men. between
the ages of 17 and 35.
The Jews celebrated throughout
Palestine with parades, street
dancing and display of national
banners.
