Jews Dynamite
3 Oil PipeKaes
Jerusalem, Sept. 8.—Jewish
underground extremists dyna
mited three oil pipe lines at the
huge Haifa oil rellnery today,
knocking out the plant for at
least a week, and struck at two
other points in the first large-
scale attack against the British
since the disastrous King David
hotel bombing on July 22.
The saboteurs also blew up a
railway bridge at the Jewish
suburb of Bot-Galim, south of
Haita, and destroyed a signal
box on another bridge east of
Haifa.
At least 10 extremists made
each attack, it was reported. One
Arab boy was killed In one of
the explosions. Two workers
were injured at the signal box,
one seriously, and two at the re
fineries.
Reports from Haifa said the
explosions at the huge consoli
dated reflnea-ies cut three pipe
lines leading from the plant to
the port. Several hundred tons of
oil gushed out on to the ground.
The extremists then set fire
to the oil. The fire later was ex
tinguished, but reports from
Haifa said the oil still was pour
ing from the broken lines. Police
and troops cordoned off the
scene of each attack.
Farm fires in 194 4 destroyed
$90,000,000 of farm property,
one-fifth of the national fire
loss. Red Cross reports.

Knoxville, Tenn. apd disappear
ed In a -anowatorm, never to he
seen again. The plane carried
four army officers, and the army
air forces, civilian authorities,
and wives of the officers all had
searched intermittently since
then without finding a trace of
the lost ship.
Yesterday two loggers came to
Dan M. Watkins head of the
Waynesville unit of the civil air
patrol, bringing a two-by four
foot piece of wing fabric. The
wing fabric later was Identified
as being a portion of the left
wing of a C-78.
The loggers told Watkins they
found the fabric along with bits
