Keeeived Thursday, 11 a.m. JERUSALEM, July 3. An official Arab spokesman jiaid in Cairo that the Arabs planned "to organise resistance against Presiderit Truman's plan for the admission of 100,000 Jews into Palestine. The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Abdel Rahman Azzam, said that Zionist t.errorism had created a situation threatening peace in the Middle East. The British Government's failure to disarm 'the Zionists will be considered as an encouragement for the Palestine Arabs to arm themselves and imitate the Zionists, if not to dominate the country, at least to defend themselves. It was impossible for Ihe Arabs to refrain from violence if the Zionists continued their terrorism. Unknown armed Jews to-day kidnapped two Jews recently iischarged from the Czechoslova'k Army, Benjamin Paoanek and Otto Freund, who they believed to be police int'ormers. It is alleged that they gave away the secret of the Mershek Yagur arsenal. The Palestine High Commissioner, General Sir Alan Cunningham, has commuted the death sentences imposed on :he two Jews who fired on British soldiers to life imprisonment. The sentences earlier o-day had been confirmed by he General Officer Commandng in Palestine, Sir Evelyr Jarker.
