Terrorism in the Holy Land reached a climax on Sunday, when the British Commissioner for Galilee and his bodyguard were assassinated ao they left the Anglican Church at Nazareth.

All of Palestine's land frontiers are guarded, and troops are on duty at Allenby bridge and other crossings over the River Jordan.

The swift action to suppress the disorders climaxed four months of terrorism and assassinations, in which the British proposal to partition the Holy Land into separate Jewish and Arab states injected new strife.

It followed quickly on British rejection of Arab demands for release of 200 prisoners seized in connection with the slaylngs at Nazareth.

The action taken against the Mufti deprived him of the president of the Supreme Moslem Council, the Higher Committee which administers Moslem religious affairs.

There was a report in Cairo, Egypt that the Mufti had taken refuse at the nosque of Omar and defied police to take him.
