JERUSALEM. Oct. 1'I—Strong “my and police patrols guarded m points throughout Palestine tonight as a mounting tide oi terrorism swept over the Holy

mo.

While sunoav WM quiet. reports oi clashes from many parts of the wuntry Saturday indicated that religious and nationalist tension gpproached a climax following the flight oi the Grand Mufti oi Jer- usalem, Mn) Amin Affendi El Mus- wrnl, to Beirut, Syria, from his “(use in the Mosque oi Omar.

A; authorities moved to take prOVIsIOIlBI control oi Mcrlem civil lliairs and religious funds left by 1M Mufti, Arab chiefs offered their mediation to the British and Palestine Governments to bring wk Mosem dignitaries exiled irom Palestine to islands in the lndian Ocean after the new epi- gcmln oi terrorism broke out last month. I

In a memorandum to the. Gov- - tmment, the Arab leaders were understood to have contended presence in Palestine of their com- patriots was imperative in view o! the expected arrival oi a new British Commislon to study the feasibility of a partition scheme for the Holy Land.

Meanwhile a three-day curfew was clamped down on the Arab icon oi Lucid. where saboteura were boliovcd responsible for fire: which destroyed airport buildings Saturday. Police were also vigilant. near licbrzm. where rge Arab bands lwre reported massing.
