An uneasy truce in Palestine extended into a third day as isolated violence left three dead and three wounded. A 76 year old Jew with a U S passport was found at the Mount of Olives, and a Haganah member was killed near Saint Steven's gate. Wounding occurred in the Negev and a 10 year old was hit near Jaffa Tel Aviv.
