British Lift Arms Order In Palestine
Jerusalem July 20. The British Army lifted today s month old order requiring all British soldiers to carry arms while outside their barracks in Palestine. The order was invoked the day after five British officers were kidnapped by the Irgun Zvai Leumi underground organization in Tel Aviv June 18. Officers still are required to wear sidearms.
