Negotiations on the plan for federation, a spokesman said, would be conducted with Arabs and Jews in London with a view to completing them before the meeting of the United Nations Assembly in September. The proposal is the outcome of discussions by members of a Brit ish-American cabinet committee on Palestine, which the foreign office said completed work yester day. U. S. Secretary of State James F.

Byrnes disclosed in Washington last night that the cabinet committee had adopted a plan for the partition of Palestine. Date for Parley Not Fixed The basis of representation and date for the conference with Jews and Arabs has not been fixed, a foreign office spokesman said, but the discussions need not wait for the ejid of the Pans Peace Conference. Well-informed Jewish sources in Paris said Jewish acceptance of the plan might depend upon whether. 100,000 Jews are admitted the Holy Land immediately, David Ben-Gurion, chairman of Paris, refused to comment on the plan however until he had seen the official text of the proposals and discussed it with his associates. A conference of the Jewish agency executive opens in Paris next 'veek, Zionists Denounce Scheme Some other Zionists and some Arab spokesmen, however, were prompt in outright denunciation of the scheme.

Dr. Izzat Tannous, retiring secretary of the defunct Arab higher committee, in Palestine, declared the scheme would mean "perpetual war" in the mid dle east. "We are absolutely against it," said A. Abrahamson, member of the world executive of the new Zionist" oxghiztiosjuIWe regard it as an evasion." He said the projected conference with Arabs and Jews was an attempt to avoid having the Palestine question brought before the United Nations assembly in In Cairo, an Arab league statement said the Arabs would fight partition just as they fought immigration of 100,000 Jews and creation of a Jewish national home in Palestine. Dr.

Yacoub Khoury, head of the Palestine Arab association in Cairo, said the scheme could not be carried out "unless America makes use of the atom bomb." In Palestine, Dr. Hussein Khal-idi, secretary of the Arab executive declared the Arabs of Palestine "will refuse flatly and definitely to sit at any round table with Jews as we have refused time and again. We will not negotiate with Jews because we do not consider them legal partici- Pants in any discussion of the future of Palestine. Orders Clothing Due To Increase 15-20 WASHINGTON, July 27 UP) Clothing price rises of 15 to 20 per cent were forecast by price officials today as the revived OPA worked on new price increase orders. Thirty to 40 ceiling actions were due for issuance during the day.

None was of high importance but all were part of the feverish drive to get the economy back under the loose-fitting lid supplied by Congress after 25 OPA-less days. Yesterday, 143 such orders were signed. Barred by the new law from restoring ceilings on meat, milk and some other foods. OPA turned to clothing as its gravest immediate worry. Lacking control over raw cotton, and now required to pas along to the consumer any rise in costs of cotton or woolen material, price men said privately that they foresaw cost-of-living trouble.

Garment increases therefore may be among the early boosts authorized under the new pricing -standards set by Congress. Yes- terday's and today's actions, though they covered literally thousands of consumer and indus- trial items, all were "in the works when OPA expired on June 30. The new increases still must be figured out. Await Decontrol Board Meantime, the White House was watched closely for three major appointments the members of the price decontrol board which is empowered to give OPA orders to knock out controls or restore them on any product. The board's first and biggest job is to decide whether ceilings snoua go oacK August 21 on meat and dairy products, grains, cottonseed and soybeans.

It must also decide whether poultry, eggs, petroleum and tobacco and their products stay control-free after that date, as they will in the absence of board action. These developments kept the OPA machinery humming: Headquarters and district office staffs strove to prepare new community food price lists to replace those made obsolete by the new law. A long list of ceiling-free products was being drawn up for industry's guidance, since the exemptions on livestock, milk, soybeans and cottonseed apply also to products made "in whole or in substantial part" from those items. OPA must decide what is "a substantial part." Enforcement Intensified Enforcement plans were intensified. One official said, however, that slash in OPA's appropriation to $75,000,000 had clouded previous plans to double the compliance force of 5,000 agents and aides.

The plans will be carried out if Congress heeds President Tru man's request that $26,000,000 additional be appropriated for the agency. Price administrator Paul Porter yesterday served notice- that OPA will not "rush to the rescue" of merchants who bought goods at high prices during OPA-less Continued on Page Three MILLTOWN PLANT SIGNS CONTRACT Personal Products Grants 181 Cent Increase; Production Pledge Made Negotiations between Personal Products Corporation and the International Brotherhood of Paper Makers (AFL), recently elected bargaining agent for the Milltown plant, have been concluded with the signing of a one year contract. Highlighting the agreement was a general wage increase of 183 cents an hour, effective June 21, 1946, and coincident with the return of the plant to a 40-hour week. In addition to the wage increase, the new contract calls for six paid holidays and the continuation of the joint-sponsored employe insurance program which includes life insurance, hospitalization for employes and dependents, sickness and accident insurance, surgical benefits, and an annuity plan. The agreement further provides for a union shop and increased shift premiums.

Payment for the half hour lunch period has been discontinued, effective as of the date of the 184 cent increase. The union has pledged its cooperation in a concerted effort to increase production and to eliminate all waste. The union and the company have also agreed to work together to maintain the wage benefits and working conditions presently enjoyed by the employes. Company officials said today the current wage improvements insure a continuance of the company's policy of paying top wages in the industry. PERSONAL!

Meet us Sue Dwyer Set For Change At City Hall Commissioner Likely to Be Named City Clerk Shortly After Labor Day JOHN A. LYNCH IN LINE FOR VACANCY The long awaited appointment of Commissioner Harry W. Dwyer to the vacancy in the city clerk's office, caused by the death of City Clerk John F. Boyce, will take place after Labor Day, it was learned today from a reliable source and at the same time, the vacancy in the city commission caused by the change in jobs will be filled by the city officials. A long list of names has been advanced for the commission vacancy with former Prosecutor John A.

Lynch of 217 New York avenue heading the lineup and John Schiller of 365 Livingston avenue, who distinguished himself with the Marines in the Pacific, a close runner-up. Appointment of Dwyer to the city clerk's job has been delayed because of the futility of the Democratic leaders to unite on his successor. There is a deep-rooted feeling within the Democratic ranks against the selection of a sixth ward resident to succeed Dwyer because it would be giving the ward two choice appointments but party leaders hope to overcome this opposition. Lynch's friends have been working overtime in an endeavor to convince leaders that the Sixth Ward. hich has slipped badly from its Democratic moorings, can be restored to its former formidable Democratic position by his appointment to the commission.

They pointed to his successful administration as prosecutor, his popularity in the ward and the fact that he represents the younger element. Three From Sixth Ward The Sixth Ward has had three commissioners in the last 30 years. The late Jeremiah Donovan was the first to become a commissioner and he served until his death when City Tax Collector John L. Snitzler was named to succeed him. Commissioner Dwyer was elected in 1935 when the Sixth Ward Democrats bolted the regular organization and supported a four-man Democratic ticket consisting of Samuel D.

Hoffman. John W. Zimmermann, James Kosa and Dwyer. Hoffman and Dwyer were elected, the first to successfully buck the City Hall organization. Dwyer was later named mayor.

The Democratic city organization plans an early start for the 1947 commission election. Dwy- er's appointment and selection of a new commissioner is part of tho Democratic strategy to present a strong front next May. The revived organization will have its dress rehearsal in the November election when a United States senator, representative, two freeholders and three assemblymen will be chosen. Selection of Lynch is being looked upon in political circles as a smart move by the City Hall organization. Lynch retired from the prosecutor's office with a creditable record.

He numbers many Republicans and Democrats as his personal friends. Schiller Also Favored While Lynch is believed to have first call on the vacancy it was also reported today Schiller would be given the choice for a vacancy that may be created in the commission. Schiller is an ex-marine. He enlisted at the outbreak of the war and became a captain on the field of battle. Schiller graduated from Rutgers University and then turned to newspaper work for a career.

He is a member of The Associated Press staff at the State House in Trenton. Lynch has long been identified with the Democratic party. He served as a member of the Middlesex County Board of Elections and later became police recorder. He was named prosecutor by Governor Charles Edison and completed his five-year term a few months ago. 18 PARALYSIS CASES REPORTED IN JULY TRENTON, July 27 Only 38 cases of infantile paralysis were reported to the State Department of Health since the first of the month as compared to 159 cases in July last year, Dr.

J. Lynn Mahafiey, director of health, reported today. The July cases bring the total so far this year to 38, Mahaffey Raid, adding, "New Jersey has fortunately so far been spared but the heaviest months of August and September lie ahead." Nine cases were reported to the department up to June 1 and curing that month ten more cases were found, Mahafiey said. BRITISH CROPS DAMAGED LONDON.

iii-W Georgia Officials Claim Bloody Massacre Was Premeditated Affair MONROE, Ga.f July 27 VP) A suggestion that the bloody mas sacre of four Negroes near here was a "rehearsed affair" came today from the head of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Major William E. Spence of the GBI, said: "It looks like it was a rehearsed affair. It looks like it might have been planned since the Negro was first confined to jail." He referred to Roger Malcolm, 27-year-old Negro who had made bond on a charge of stabbing his employer, a white man. Malcolm, his wife, and George Dorsey and his wife were the mob's Although an announcement from Washington said the Federal Bureau of Investigation would investigate the case for the Civil Rights Section of the Justice Department, an assistant district attorney said: "So far it seems to be a state case." The attorney, Jack Gautier of Macon, said he came here to try to determine if there had been any violation of civil rights cov ered by Federal statute.

Talmadge 'Regrets' Incident The only comment on the lynching to come from Eugene Talmadge, recently nominated for a fourth term as Georgia's governor on a "white supremacy" platform, was that "such incidents are to be regretted." Talmadge is vacationing in Cheyenne, Wyo. Rep. Marcantonio (AL-NY) asked President Truman for "prompt" Federal intervention. In a telegram to Truman, Mar cantonio said "unless immediate government action is taken there will be a repetition of lynchings as a result of recent incitement to violence made by Bilbos and Tal-madges." The details of the ghastly lynch ing were related by Loy Harrison, a well-to-do farmer who was held at gun point by the mob. He was taking the four Negroes to his farm 1 to, work after getting Malcolm out on? bond.

Leader 'Dignified White Man' Harrison said the band of 20 armed and unmasked men which waylaid them was led by a "tall dignified white man" who counted "one, two, three" as three volleys were fired into the Negroes, lined up abreast. "The leader looked like a retired business man," he said. "He was about 65, wore a brown suit and had on a big broad-brimmed hat. He looked like he had a good Florida sun-tan." The mob, he said, first took the Negro men out of the car and bound their arms behind them. Then, when one of the women recognized a member of the mob, several men came and took them, too, he said.

The Negro women were sisters. Dorsey's mother said he had just been discharged from the Army, and saw overseas duty in North Africa and Australia. IN ATLANTIC CITY Tho Dally Home News and the Sunday Times on tale at 1317 B'walk. near Child's Restaurant. Bell Aircraft in Buffalo, N.

for a year. He then spent a year with Eastern Aircraft testing ships at Linden and Trenton before entering the Navy. Since his discharge last December, Wiles spent a great deal of time on an experiment and has developed a rotary-wing type of aircraft, similar in appearance to the Rohrbach design, but operating on an entirely different principal. Future research work on the development is now being carried on by Aerof lex Laboratories, in Long Island. Wiles became interested in the type of corporation with which he is now affiliated shortly after he left the service.

Holman has also been interested in aviation for several years and has successfully built several gasoline model planes, winning contests in the area. He served with the Navy during the war. Partners Listed Richard Seitzman of New York City, who was a captain in the Army Transport Command, is president of the corporation George Arents of New York City is chief pilot. Arents was a com mander in the Navy Ferry Com mand serving in the Pacific. The other pilot is Neil Seitzman of New York, treasurer of the corporation, who served in the ETO as a captain in the Army Air Force.

The Avengers, when con verted, will carry three tons of cargo. One ton may be carried in the bomb bay of the huge single engine ship. Work on one of the ships is nearing completion. The corporation is ready to offer its facilities for non-scheduled charter hauling and, if the de mand is great enough here, will fly a few ships out of North Brunswick. Despite the return of rent control to the Federal government, the Middlesex County Board of Taxation was besieged in the last two days by 124 property owners who sought applications to raise the rents of their tenants up to 10 per cent, as allowed in the New Jersey rent control bill.

Property owners arrived here from a dozen municipalities under the belief that the County Tax Board had been given control over rents. When told yesterday that OPA was again in charge and Home Neivs Granted Authorization for FM Radio Station Authorization for the operation of a new FM radio station in New Brunswick by the Home News Publishing Company was announced in Washington yesterday by the Federal Communications Commission.

WOMAN FIGHTS OFF ATTACK AT HOME Overturned Phone Brings Police; Youth Seized in Sandford St. House Prompt action a telephone company supervisor early this morning resulted in the arrest of a 19-year-old youth who broke into the home of Dr. Dorothy Hamre at 2 Sandford street and attempted to attack her while she was asleeo in her bedroom. The suspect, who identified himself as Melvin Smith of 16 Talmadge street, was held in for the action of the Grand Jury by Acting Recorder William F. McCloskey in police court for attempting the attack and for breaking and entry.

Patrolmen George Thomas and Asher VanDoren, who found Smith in a second floor storeroom of Dr. Hamre's home, said the condition of the bedroom indicat ed that the woman had struggled bitterly against her assailant. She finally broke away from him and ran to the street to the home of James Howe, next door, where police found her in a hysterical condition. In court this morning, her neck was bandaged and her face bore marks of her bitter fight. Police said Smith gained entrance to the house by cutting the screen around the lock on the rear sun parlor at 3:10 this morning.

Dr.tHamre shares the home with Miss Emma Rae McLeod, director of the Visiting Nurses Association, who is away on vacation. As a result, she was alone in the house when she was awakened by the man in her bedroom. The intruder seized her by the throat. She struggled fiercely. and during the fight the telephone was knocked off its bedroom stand.

The telephone operator, hearing sounds of the struggle, switched the call over to her supervisor, Mrs. Ellen Geibel. After listening for a moment, Mrs. Geibel sent in a call to police and Patrolmen Thomas and Van Doren were dispatched to the scene in a radio patrol car. Another call for police was sent in by Howe, after Dr.

Hamre escaped from the house, but they were already at the scene. They praised Mrs. Geibel for her presence of mind in notifying them and credited her with enabling them to capture the suspect. In court this morning, Smith made no reply to questions from the judge and was held for the grand jury. Police said he has a record of one previous arrest for disorderly conduct in connection with a disturbance several months ago in the Strand Theatre.

RAILROAD LABORERS ARE GIVEN WARNING Acting Recorder William F. McCloskey in. police court this morning served notice that Pennsylvania Railroad laborers coming to this city from their tamp in Plainsboro to get drunk on pay days will face workhouse terms if they continue their actions. The court's warning was given to Clyde Stone, 31, a railroad worker, who was arrested last night on Neilson street by Patrolmen James Mulvey and Stephen Lawrence. He was given a suspended sentence on a charge of being drunk and disorderly.

TREATED FOR INJURIES Mrs. Ann Neser of 50 Welton street, was treated at Middlesex Hospital last night for injuries received when she fell from the porch of her home. She was discharged after treatment for lacerations of the chin. taken over by the OPA, they showed disappointment. The first full day of revived OPA yesterday saw tenants breathing easier1 and both OPA and merchants trying to figure out what items would go up how much, above June 30 levels.

There was no doubt about rents. All Federal rent ceilings and safe guards against evictions are back in full force and effect. The state law for rent control, passed last Monday, was superseded when President Truman signed the new OPA measure. The Federal law has some pro visions for allowing boosts in hardship cases, but they are much more limited than the state law appeared to be. Rent Increases 'invalid Any rent increases or eviction notices served since June 30 are automatically invalidated by the new OPA law.

On the other hand, OPA eviction certificates granted before June 30 are now valid again. For a time, it had seemed that state rent control would be the new order and that federal con trol would be out. The United States Senate originally inserted a clause into its version of the OPA revival bill providing that federal rent control shall' not be in effect in states which have their own. However, the bill agreed upon by the House and Senate conferees eliminated that provi sion. The New Brunswick War Price and Ration Board, composed of representatives of New Brunswick and.

surrounding communities, will resume activities Wednesday night when it is expected they will be in receipt of new set of regulations from State OPA headquarters. Local Board Awaits Order Stating that no orders had been received at the local offices, Joseph Hertz, secretary of the board, said today the members were ready to tackle the problems arising out of the agency's resurrec tion. Every paid employe and vol unteer remained on the job dur ing suspension of OPA. The first task of the OPA will be to restore to legal levels prices that rose in the last three weeks New prices above old ceilings will have to be set in many instances under the new OPA law. Restaurants upped their prices nve to 15 cents, on their menu items.

Meats went up as much as 20 cents on a pound. Steaks hit new highs while fish and other food commodities skyrocketed. While meat prices will not be placed under a ceiling immediately they are slated to be classified by August 20. Merchants and consumers were urged by OPA authorities to "hold the line" pending the setting up of the new price schedules.

NEW BRUNSWICK WATER DEPT. Ja-4t I By JACK BELL WASHINGTON, July 27 (JP)- Widening their war profits inquiry, Senate investigators disclosed today they will call Comptroller General Lindsay Warren for a report on cases where he has sniffed irregularities but has not been able to do anything about them. Chairman Mead (D-NY), said the War Investigating Committee will discuss with Warren on Monday the "loopholes" that he has found in the government's machinery for holding down excessive profits on making of military equipment. The committee was in recess today. Two of the government's prin cipal ways of recapturing undue profits are in machinery for renegotiating and terminating con tracts.

The committee already has asked the General Accounting Office for a report on termination of contracts with the Garsson munitions combine it has been investigating. Senators Brewster and Ferguson said it is their understanding that Warren will tell the committee about certain cases in which the GAO believes that irregularities occurred but lacks the definite evidence of fraud it needs to make its own inquiry. They said the committee expects also to obtain suggestions as to how it can make an overall survey of profits. New Development In connection with the inquiry into the Garrson combine there were these developments: 1- Mead led a committee group into a conferenc-with Attorney General Clark at which the New Yorker said the senators would ask for income tax returns of all officers of the Garsson companies and the Cumberland Lumber Company, which Rep. May (D-Ky), served as Kentucky agent.

2. Mead declared that the committee will be available when May, whose doctor reported him ill and unable to testify for ten days or two weeks, is able to tell about his relations with the Garsson combine. 3. Ferguson demanded that the committee ask Col. Harold Brooks how he happened to give to Maj.

Gen. Alden Waitt. chief of the Chemical Warfare Service, a letter from May to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. Waitt delivered the letter on a trip to Europe during the war.

The letter interceded for Capt. Joseph H. Garsson, then facing court martial action. Gars son was convicted of disobeying a command and sentenced to dis missal from the service but sen tence was suspended. 4.

In Batavia, 111., Garsson, now out of the Army, told a news conference that the whole time he was in. service his commanders were under instruction to "take care of Garsson." He said he be lieved the influence came 'through generals in the Chemi cal Warfare branch. 5. In Havana, Murray Gars son, one of the organizers oi tne combine and father of the former Army captain, called the Mead in quiry a smear campaign. "All this talk of war profiteer ing is ridiculous," he added in an interview.

"My company made no millions as is charged; our profit was less than six per cent of the invested capital. His attorney has reported Garsson is remaining in Cuba because of a heart ailment. Coffee Explains In addition to hearing Warren the committee expects to turn next week to an incident involv ing Rep. Coffee (D-Wash), and a $2,500 check from Eivand Anderson, a war contractor. In a letter to Senator Mitchell MIDDLEBUSH BOY WOUNDED IN LEG State police are today searching for the unknown person who fired a .22 calibre bullet into the leg of a 12-year-old Middlebush boy last evening.

The boy, Francis Figrotta, son of Mr. and Mrs. Natie Figrotta of Coma drive, Middlebush, was admitted to Middlesex Hospital last night at 8:15 p. m. suffering from a gunshot wound in his upper left thigh.

Police are pf the opinion that someone was target shooting near the boy's home and accidentally fired a shot at him. BRITISH BIRTHS JUMP LONDON. July 27 () The registrar general announced today that the British birthrate hit its highest level in 2Lyears during the second quarter of 1946, when 203,797 babies were born a rate of 19.2 births per thousand (D-Wash), Coffee asserted that the check, sent to Coffee's former secretary, Paul A. Olson, in 1941, not an election year, was a campaign contribution by Anderson wnicn me latter described as "long overdue." Coffee also said that former Senator Rufus Holman R-Ore), participated fully in the success ful 1941 efforts to obtain a Ft. Lewis, hospital contract for Anderson.

Young Garsson Resented His Father's Aid Captain Says Army Career Marked by Take Care Of Garsson' Order BATAVIA, July 27 (JP) Former Army Captain Joseph H. (Bud) Garsson, whose father, Murray Garsson, is a principal in the Senate War Profits investigation, says his commanders were under instructions to "take care of Garsson," but he resented the Interference with his Army career. The 27 year old veteran told a news conference yesterday that it was through his own efforts he was sent overseas after an earlier application was "blocked." He said an executive officer had told lWe've got, a standing order, that you are not to go "Everywhere I went," Garsson "the word was out to 'take care of Garsson and protect him. There was also an undercurrent of resentment against me." He added, however, that "anything done for me in the "Army through my father's Influence was done because of a normal father's desire to protect his son and further his career." Garsson said he believed the in fluence came "through generals in the chemical warfare branch." He added that he believed his father had not asked Rep. Andrew May (D-Ky) to use his influence, except when he faced a court mar tial in France for disobedience of a command.

A military court convicted him but recommended leniency. Later his sentence was suspended. BYRNES PROTESTS SOVIET PROPOSAL Expects Sharp Conflict at Peace Conference on Hungarian Treaty WASHINGTON, July 27 OP)A sharp conflict already is shaping up for the Paris Peace Conference between Secretary of State Byrnes and Russian Foreign Minister Molotov over Soviet reparation demands on Hungary. The United States is insisting that a new economic deal in Hungary is essential to establishment of a firm peace in Europe. It has protested strongly Red Army seizures of Hungarian foodstuffs and Soviet removals of Hungarian factories as well as current industrial production, contending the result is economic chaos in the Balkan nation.

The protest, made public by the State Department last night, highlights the difficulties confronting Byrnes as he sets out today for Paris and the 21-nation conference, opening Monday, which will write peace treaties for the for mer enemy states of Hungary, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania and Fin land. Byrnes Leaves at Noon President Truman arranged to see his Secretary of State aboard his plane at Washington Airport about noon.

In Byrnes' plane party were Mrs. Byrnes.

Assistant Secretary of State and Mrs. Will Clayton, State Department counselor Ben Cohen and Byrnes' secretary, Miss Cassie Connor. Byrnes briefly reviewed some of his Paris projects at a news conference. He said that he planned on Monday to confer with the three American members of a joint Anglo-American, committee on Palestine. The aim is to fix American policy on the committee's proposal for partitioning Palestine between Jews and Arabs in connection with the plan for immigration of 100,000 Jews.
