A band of Arab terrorists today invaded the Government insane Asylum near Bethlehem, killing a Jewish employee named Eliahu Shweiki. Another Jew was killed and two Jewish ghaffirs were wounded in continuing disorders in other parts of Palestine. The slain man was Shlomo Gwil, whose sullet-riddled body was found near the Jewish colony of Nathanya. A third Jewish fatality was Dov Eisenbaum, 43-year-old baker from Poland, who was shot near Beit Yam, south of Jaffa.
