It is oflicially stated that one Jewish illegal immigrant was killed and several other immigrants and British ratings were slightly injured when Jews aboard the ship Palmach resisted a boarding party. Navai men used five tear gas grenades to quell the "very strong resistance." The Palmach is at present lying off Haifa. The transhipment to the Liberty ship for transfer to Cyprus is* expected to begi'n tomorrow. A communique stated that the Palmach's 800 or 900 immigrants were violentlv hostile when the naval party went aboard under a rain of missiles. One shot fired into the air failed to quell the riot. The Palmach was hailed by H.M.S. Rojvena and warned that if there was further resistance tear gas would be used.
