JEWS RELEASE OFFICERS

Two Now Back In Tel Aviv MORE ARRESTS MADE (N.Z. Press Association— Copyright) (Rec. 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, June 23. “Two of the British officers, kidnapped by armed Jews, Captain D. T. Ray and Flight Lieutenant T. A. Russell, were released by their captors last night,” says Reuter’s Jerusalem correspondent. “Both are reported to be fit They were clean shaven and looked well when brought by car to the Yarkon Hotel in Tel Aviv, from which they were kidnapped. “The newspapers in Tel Aviv, before the official announcement, received telephone calls from an unknown person claiming to be a member of the Irgun Zvai Leumi organisation announcing that the two officers had been released. The person added that the three others still captive were well and there was no cause to worry.” C.I.D. officers have intensified the search for the self-styled Commander-in-Chief of the Jewish militarist terrorist group, Manahim Begin, on whose head the Government has placed ,a price of £2OOO. It is believed Begin, who is holding the threat of death over the kidnapped British officers, may ha\ - undergone a major facial operation to disfigure himself permanently. He, with 19 other terrorists, broke out of Latrun detention camp

near Jerusalem three years ago. Fifteen employees of a potash plant where arms were discovered have been arrested. It is officially stated that the arms were found buried in a steel box in a concrete lined excavation in a shed. They included 19 pistols, seven sub-machine-guns, one mortar, 20 ammunition magazines, and several thousand rounds of ammunition. An Army officer said other arms were found in the workers’ lockers. Unconfirmed reports from Tel Aviv state that British destroyers intercepted in Palestine territorial waters an illegal immigrant ship carrying 800 Jews. The name of the ship has not been disclosed.
