Jerusalem, Feb. 3 (A. P.).-The police said that Jews bombed the Arab Welfare Headquarters in Haifa today, killing four Arabs. A car laden with dynamite was parked before the building by two men who quickly left in a following taxicab, it was stated. The Jews have said in the past that Arab snipers fired from the top of the Welfare Building.

Occasional sniping was reported along the border between Jaffa and Tel Aviv and a few shots rang out in Jerusalem today.

Abdul Khader Bey Husseini, commander of the Arab fighters in Jerusalem, announced last night that it was the Arabs who bombed the offices of the Palestine Post on Sunday night “to prove we could strike at the heart of our enemy.”

Today’s deaths brought to 1,027 the unofficial count of persons slain in Palestine since the United Nations voted on November 29, last, to partition Palestine.

Damascus, Feb. 3 (A. P.).-Truckloads of armed Arabs rolling into Damascus led many observers to believe today that a general attack on the Jews of Palestine may be approaching.

Fawzi Bey al Kaukji, leader of the Arab forces, announced that “the finest army in the Middle East is moving in” and that he expects to transfer his headquarters to Palestine soon.
