Arab terrorism taking
toll in occupied areas
By JEANNE KUEBLER
Copley News Service
JERUSALEM — The Israeli
occupied areas of Jordan,
Egypt and Syria are quiet to a
degree that confounds visitors
— but even the relative quiet
takes its toll.
Week after week, what
Israeli military sources term
“incidents” occur.
A bus carrying Arab workers
from Hebron to jobs in Israel is
stopped by terrorists, the
passengers ordered out, and
the bus set aflame.
A terrorist — long on the
wanted list, the Israelis say —

is shot dead in a Gaza refugee
camp as he tries to throw a
grenade at an Israeli patrol.
Explosive charges are placed
one morning on two buses
traveling from the Arab
villages of Galilee to Haifa. One
explodes, demolishing the bus
but causing no casualties, after
the passengers have left. The
other is spotted during a
routine end-of-journey search.
A grenade thrown at Jewish
tourists in the Old City of
Jerusalem injures several of
them slightly, but kills a little
Arab girl.
From January to mid-
November, incidents like these
accounted for 21 Israeli dead —
11 soldiers and 10 civilians —
and 162 injured. The toll was
higher among the Arabs: 94
killed and 409 wounded by
terrorist action, while 187 Arab
terrorists were killed by Israeli
security forces.
But overt opposition to the
Israeli occupation by the
population is rare, unlike 1968
and early 1969, when sit-ins,
marches, and even semi-riots
marked every Arab holiday,
many Fridays (the Moslem
holy day), and other occasions.
The only political demon-
stration in recent memory
occurred in October when 70 or
so Arab women of Nablus, a
town of 70,000 about an hour’s
drive north of Jerusalem,
staged a sit-in at the city hall
after a number of them visited
sons and husbands held in the
Israeli prison at Ashkelon.
During a prison riot, the
women charged, Arab
prisoners were badly beaten
and left without medical care
for weeks. The women
demanded an investigation of
prison conditions, with Arab
officials included on the in
vestigating committee.
The military government
reacted stiffly, summoning
Nablus’ elderly mayor from his
bed at midnight and warning
that if the sit-in continued a
second day the protesting
women and all Nablus
residents would not be allowed
to visit their relatives in prison
the following month.
And the authorities made
good their threat.
A similar ‘‘big stick”
recently was used in Hebron,
commercial center of the oc
cupied region south of
Jerusalem. This all-Moslem
area has always been, in the

U.S. wanted unlimited control
in Canada if Germans attacked
By ROBERT D. BOTT
OTTAWA (UPl)—Secret re
cords of Canada’s wartime
cabinet, released Wednesday,
showed that the United States
sought unlimited control over
Canadian armed forces in the
event of a German attack on
North America.
The documents showed that
the cabinet of then Prime
Minister W. L. MacKenzie King
resisted the U.S. pressure in
talks during 1941 before the
United States entered the war.
Canada finally agreed to a plan
for “cooperation” that would
have given the United States
limited powers over Canadian
troops in the event of invasion.
When it was first put forward
in April of 1941, the U.S.
proposal called for an Ameri
can “strategic direction” of
Canadian forces in the event
the United States joined the
war against Germany—whether
or not there was an invasion of
North America.
However, the Canadian chiefs
of staff immediately rejected
the idea except in drastic
circumstances such as a
German occupation of Britain
and subsequent attack on North
America. The cabinet felt even
this was too strong, and it
decided instead to send a
military mission to Washington
to “coordinate” plans with the
Americans.
words of a military govern
ment source, “relatively less
quiet” than the rest of the West
Bank (of the Jordan River).
Two of the three American
tourists killed in the areas by
Arab attacks were shot while
their Israeli buses drove
through the desolate hills south
of Hebron.
A rash of recent incidents
brought about a clampdown on
privileges for residents of the
Hebron area. They were denied
permission for their relatives
from other Arab lands to visit
them on Id el-Fitr, the feast
which closes the 40-day fast of
Ramadan.
Israeli sources denied this
was collective sanctions.
Travel between Hebron and the
rest of the West Bank is free
and easy, they explained.
Israel cannot allow unrest in
the Hebron area to be spread to
more tranquil parts of occupied
Jordan by visitors who may or
may not have terrorist con
nections.
In the Gaza Strip, always the
most difficult security situation
of the occupied territories, new
identity cards are being issued
to male residents in an attempt
at greater control of the jam
packed refugee camps.
The new ID cards are dif
ficult to deface or alter, since
they are enclosed in plastic and
printed on special paper which
changes when exposed to air.
Israeli troopers who check
identifications on Gaza’s
streets will be able to more
easily spot someone whose
registration is not quite kosher.
THEIR OWN BUS
GORTON, England (UPI)—
After three years of saving,
pupils of Wright Robinson High
School bought themselves a
school bus. They paid for it
with 1,702,400 trading stamps.
LaPrade, 25 years; Frank Moore, 25 years; and Horace
Gossett, 25 years.
The early moves, which
began nine months before the
United States formally entered
World War n, were disclosed in
minutes of the cabinet’s war
committee and accompanying
documents.
The documents were the first
record kept of Canadian cabinet
meetings and the first made
public, under a decision of
Prime Minister Pierre Elliott
Trudeau to release secret
papers after 30 years.
The eight looseleaf binders of
cabinet minutes, accompanied
by an incomplete index and
eight folders of supporting
papers, were available to
newsmen and researchers at
the public archives here.
Almost every page was
stamped “secret” or “top
secret.”
They also showed that up to
the end of 1941, the government
did not regard Japanese-
Canadians in British Columbia
as a serious security threat,
although 24,000 Japanese-Cana-

The cabinet feared a postwar
U.S. government might use this
to make demands for the
territory. King said on Dec. 10,
1941, that he planned to take up
this question with President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
