TERRORISTS AT ODDS

PALESTINE GANG LEADERS & COMMITTEE DISPUTES RAGING ABOUT USE OF FUNDS. MISAPPROPRIATION ALLEGED. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. May 9. Reports continue to reach interested quarters in London from Damascus which reveal serious dissension between the Palestine terrorist leaders and the rebel committee there. The disputes are principally about funds which the terrorist loaders contend are being employed by members of the committee for their own use. Certain gang leaders are stated to have decided to attempt to return to Palestine for the purpose of collecting the money themselves. For example, Mohil Zawati, Abdul Razzak’s henchman, who is in Transjordan, openly admitted these differences recently and said that while he had no interest in the rebellion as a national movement he intended to return to collect as much money as possible for himself. Abdul Kahder Husseini is reliably reported to nave made demands for money from a number of villages, including Beitunya and Subaher. REPORT TO BE ISSUED SETTLEMENT PROPOSALS. ZIONIST LEADER URGING DELAY. (Independent Cable Service.) LONDON, May 10. Cabinet met at 10 Downing Street today to consider the progress of the peach front negotiations, also the Palestine proposals which will probably be published in a White Paper next week. Dr Chaim Weizmann, Zionist leader, arrives in London tonight from Palestine and is likely to make a last-min-ute effort for the postponement of the publication of the White Paper till Zionist objections are further considered.
