Bombing at King David Hotel in Jerusalem Kills 50
A Palestine police report states at least 50 people, mostly soldiers, were killed when a bomb exploded at the King David Hotel, headquarters of British administration in Jerusalem. Five attackers were said to have planted the charge after firing on a British officer, with a second blast earlier at an armored car. The Hagana was suspected to be responsible, amid a curfew and heavy security in the city. This attack followed British actions against Jewish settlements and arms seizures.

Rebels Rule Bolivia After Villarroel Death
In La Paz Bolivian workers and students formed a provisional government led by Nestor Guillen after President Gualberto Villarroel was killed. The army backed the revolution, battles raged to seize the presidential palace, and estimates placed casualties up to 2000 with 260 dead and 500 wounded. The regime promised general elections and a wild shift in allegiance across military branches. Villarroel died amid a palace siege as rebels hoisted his body on a lamp post.
