...Jewish reaction. Jews have spilled little blood in retaliation for Arab terrorism, but the British "betrayal" made many of them fighting mad. Indignant manifestoes were loudly cheered at mass meetings: "Palestine Jewry declares this betrayal policy will never materialize. Palestine Jewry will fight it with all its forces." In Jerusalem 5,000 demonstrators armed with stones battled club-swinging police. Toll: 135 Jews and five constables injured; one constable killed. Most Jews regretted the actions of belligerents, preferred to place their faith in passive resistance, and efforts to get world opinion and the League of Nations on their side...

Oldtime Cinemactress Mary Carr (Over the Hill) plays an old woman, selling palm leaves at a church, who guides the reporter back to Jerusalem. What he sees there he tells with straightforward reverence. His description of the Crucifixion is considerably less lurid than that of the French original (soon to be published in translation by Sheed & Ward). Excerpt from the NBC version...
...Sheshonks-which further exploration may show him to be-then he is the same as the conquering, rapacious "Shishak" referred to in I Kings 14: 25-26: And it came to pass in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem: and he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made...
