Troubled Palestine Pictures and comments from the sum mer tour made by
KENNETH M. MONROE Dean of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles
THE JAFFA-TEL AVIV BARRIER
The Arab city of Jaffa and the Jewish city of Tel Aviv merge one into the other. Present conditions, however, necessitate the military barrier pictured in the background of the top photograph in the panel. Our two Arab friends, left and right, both graduates of the Davis Agricultural School, California, were prevented by the military authori ties from accompanying us to Tel Aviv. [In the center is Conard K. Sandy, Dr. Monroe’s traveling companion on last summer’s tour.]
TEMPORARY QUARTERS AT GIVATH BRENNER So many Jewish immigrants are arriv ing from Europe that the cooperative communities face a housing problem. After their harrowing experiences in other lands, the sufferers are most hap py to dwell in their tents among friends.
BOMB-PROOF BUSES j All b u s e s of Palestine have been barred as pictured here, to preclude destruction by bombs thrown in by en- " emy forces. Prior to the time when this precaution was taken, many trav- % elers were injured or killed by bombs exploding in the buses. This picture was taken in the Valley of the Hinnom on the west side of Jerusalem. On top of the city wall is a military lookout, protected from the heat of the sun by a few boards and a little canvas. About ten days before this picture was taken, nine men were blown to bits and thirty-five were in jured, when a Jewish bomb exploded in an Arab watermelon market (then lo cated off the highway, to the right). .
