Jews Kill One
And Rob Bank
In Jerusalem
JERUSALEM. </P)—Eight young
Jews, including a girl, killed a
Jewish official and wounded the
Jewish manager of Barclay’s bank
in Haifa today and escaped with
$5,200.
The fresh violence came after
the Jewish underground issued a
statement saying “we have not yet
settled our hanging account with
the British.” They threatened "tw
hangings. '
Last week two young British
sergeants, who had been k:d;iaped
and held hostages for two wee>s, j
were hanged in a forest preserve
near Natanya, where they stran
gled and bled to death lrcm
wounds cut by the thin, knotted
ropes.
The Barclay bank official who
was shot to death had resisted the
Jewish bandits. The bank manager
was beaten until he opened the
money box. Witnesses said the
robbers escaped in a taxi.
Crowds outside the bank tried
first to stop the escape, but dis
persed when shots were fired into
the air.

Jet Planes Create
New Problems For
Ground Crewmen
Heads or tails? Navy plane
handlers will lose, unless they
keep their wits about them.
After years of shunning the pro
peller end of parked airplanes,
ground crewmen now fnd that
their jobs on the flight deck of an
operating aircraft carrier have
been further complicated by the
blast from the tails of jet planes.
The combined heat and velocity;
of the exhaust from the tail of a
jet plane can be fully as lethal as,
the whirling steel propeller in the j
nose of a conventional plane. A;
recent Navy Rlight Safety Bulle
tin warns that a man crossing the
stream of a jet exhaust is in dan
ger of being seriously burned and
in even greater danger of being
thrown a considerable distance
across the deck or ground by the
force of the blast.
Not only must the harried plane;
handlers avoid the tails of jet'
planes, but they must learn to stay !
out of the suction area in front of
air-intake scoops, as there is the1
possibility of being drawn against
the entry ducts and held there un-;
til the engine can be shut down.j
Unwary groundlings can also lose
hats, eyeglasses, rags tools, loose
clothing and similar items which,
if sucked into the engine would do
more damage to the engine than to
the loser.
Stressing the need for intensive
training and education in making
the transition to jet plane hand
ling. the Safety Bulletin recom-1
mends careful traffic direction for
persons and taxiing aircraft in the
vicinity, a half hour cool-down
period before working on the tail- j
pipe, and caution in working on
any other part of the plane during I
or immediately after engine opera- i
tion.
