The front page has: "3 Slain on Zionist Vessel As Refugees Fight British," which continues on an inside page. Page 5 has: "SILVER ASSAILS SEIZURE - Zionist Hopes U.N. Will Not Tolerate British Action," and, "AMBUSHED BRITON SLAIN IN PALESTINE," both of which provide additional Exodus 1947 related coverage. The front page also has: "Succession Bill Is Signed; Speaker Put in Line." with subhead and related photo.
