Chinese Mob
British Consulate
In Shanghai
(By Fred Hampson)
SHANGHAI, OP)—A mob estim
ated at 10,000 milling Chinese
menaced the British consulate Sat
urday as an aftermath to the
burning of that nation’s consulate
Friday at Canton. It finally was
dispersed by club-swinging police
without causing damage.
„The mob failed to penetrate the
fenced and heavily-guarded con
sulate compound, although once
attempting to inch a big truck
against the gate. Four Chinese
climbed over the gate and de
manded that the British flag be
hauled down, but were flatly re
fused.
Speakers stridently but unsuc
cessfully urged the mob to rush
the gate.
British consulate employ e e s
continued stolidly at work.
Buildings were plastered with
posters condemning the British,
the Americans and the Chinese
government. Some said: “British
get out of Kowloon”—“Americans
get out, too” — ‘‘Chinese govern
ment worst we ever had.”
The incident began as a demon
stration by some 3,000 students
protesting against British eviction
of Chinese squatters from Kow
loon, on the mainland of the
Crown Colony of Hong Kong. A
similar demonstration, during
which the British consulate and
other buildings were burned and
some Britons injured.

RUSSIA TO OPEN
NEW COAL FIELDS
MOSCOW (^P)—Four coal fields
have been surveyed last year in
the area discovered by Soviet ge
ologists during the war in the
Kuznetsk Basin.
Chief engineer Molchanov of the
Kuzbas coal prospecting organi
zation, who has been supervising
the exploratory work, said the
area would probably range among
the most important in this rich
field.
The fields are located in the Ta
iga GO kilometers from the city of
Stalinsk between the Tom and
Usa rivers in the foothills of the
Kuznetsk Ala-Tau mountains. The
mountainous terrain enables the
deposits to be tapped through gal
leries driven into the hillsides
eliminating the nped of shaft
sinking.

In Judean Hills
JERUSALEM. (fP) — Arab
sources said Saturday as many as
49 Jews were killed in fighting
with Arabs overnight in the Ju
dean hills between Bethlehem .and
Hebron.
A reliable source of the Arab
higher executive said ‘‘identiy
cards of 49 Jews killed last night
near Hebron” had been brought to
the executive’s Jerusalem office.
He said the Jews, a party of
men and women headed for Kefar
Etsyon settlement ‘‘as reinforce
ments,” were mowed down by ma
chinegun fire from all sides.
Police, piecing together sparse
reports from the area, gave this
version: Jews attacked the Arab
village of Surif in the hills south
east of Bethlehem, wounding six
Arabs. Returning to their base of
operations, they were ambushed
by Arabs and about half were
wiped out.
