Count Folke Bernadotte urged Arabs and Jews to accept an unconditional cease fire in Palestine for 10 days starting at 1 a.m. tomorrow.

Two teen casualties occurred from a bomb attack as island-wide air raids continued and villages changed hands near Majdal. Washington said the renewed fighting is deplorable and will be reviewed by the Security Council as the US and Britain monitor the situation.
