The first reaction from the Middle Cast came from Baghdad, Iraq. Blad Bl Solh, Premier of Lebanon, told newsmen there that "we are waltlnev nrenared to march 1 nqulrr iHtlaai Photo, The convention of America's young Zionist Jewry, represented by delegates to the national meeting of Masada at the Hotel Gibson, became a glee party last night as word wy; flashed that the United Nations had voted to partition Palestine. Convention delegates are shown above starting their march to Fountain Square after massing in the Gibson lobby, bearing at one side the Red, White and Blue and at the other the white, blue-striped Paiestine flag with its central Star of David. Paris, Nov. 29 (UP) Premier Robert Schuman sent battle-garbed troops to seize two Communist newspaper offices tonight while the National Assembly rushed Its approval of measures to outlaw Communist labor agitators.

The Communist-controlled General Confederation of Labor Immediately asked for terms by requesting Schuman to resume negotiations for settling the wave of trikes that now involve 2,000,000 workers and that have paralyzed the national economy. It was reported that the labor leaders had offered to order an immediate resumption of work if Schuman agreed to resume the talks. The bid for peace came after Schuman asked the Assembly for six months of emergency police powers to suppress Communist agitation. Schuman demanded prison terms up to 10 years for Communist writers, orators and demonstrators who foment armed sabotage but did not wait for the bill to become law before hj sent troops to seize the official Communist publications. TROOPS TAKE OVER.

Two trucks carrying 150 helmeted troops armed with tommy guns roared into the Rue de Louvre shortly after 6 p. m. and took over the building In which are published the Communist morning newspaper "Ce Sofr," and tho party's evening newspaper "L'Humanlte." Flying squads of police raided central Parts newsstands and seized xVa jsilUons jjf, boti publications which contained vitriolic attacks against Schuman and the government's, program.

It was noted that he spoke i shortly before the Assembly acted, but he renewed the Arab threat to act against any partition move. The Assembly's final vote approver ing the "Soviet-American" proposaf to set up Independent Jewish anf Arabic countries In the Holy Land by next October I was 33 to 18, ABOVE REQUIRED COUNT.

This was well over the requirement for approval by two-thirds of those delegates present and voting. The 13 opposed to partition could have been defeated by a minimum of 28 affirmative votes. Ten nations abstained and Slam was absent. The Arabs made It clear that their walkout here was directed only against the decision enPatea true democracy and progressive forces are exemplified by tha Jewish state, which will contribute to humanity, "We are grateful for the endorsement and confidence of the democratic countries in the United Nations.

"After 2,000 years of exile an dispersion the Jewish people have been afforded an opportunity for which they yearn," Sternsteln said, "We will now show the world that Two hundred tense young delegates to the convention of Maaada, the Young Zionists of America, waiting through yesterday to learn what the United Nations would do in respect to Palestine, the Jewish homeland, broke Into a festival of Joy last night when word came that tt)jfirS vpUdIo partition Palestine for formation of a Jewish tat Carrying the American and Pales-' tinian flags, and singing "The Star-Spangled Banner," the Palestinian Gnatlonal anthem 'Hatikvah" The Hope the delegates formed In the New State First Homeland In 20 Centuries For Wandering Israel. Awareness of the historic Implications of the United Nations General Assembly vote was dominant last night In the reaction of prominent representatives of Cincinnati Jewry to the creation of the first Jewish homeland in 2,000 years. Press association reports Indicated that the reception given to tho news here was paralleled throughout the nation.

Word that a Jewish state In Palestine had been approved was whispered throughout the congregation of the Avondale Synagogue during a service late yesterday, and Rabbi Louis Feinberg said later: "It was almost Impossible to complete the service. We burst into song." Rabbi Feinberg said that plans immediately were made to invite other Jewish congregations and Zionist groups to take part in a Joint celebration at the Avondale Synagogue Wednesday night. FEELS HISTORIC MOMENT. "We are living in a historic moment," Rahbi Feinberg declared. He saw the Russian and American agreement on the Palestine partition as a linking of the East and West.

Dr. Nelson Glueck, President of Hebrew Union College, and Rabbi Feinberg both were confident that the Arabs and Jews would succeed in ironing out their differences. "The Palestine settlement is one of the first things that the UN has successfully accomplished," Dr. Glueck salij. "I hope that this will prove a happy augury of fu-; ture peaceful settlements of the world's complicated political "I am confident that the' Jews Arab can an win fine) wayt of living; together for their mutual benefit, and that together they can rebuild Palestine to serve as a model of relations between human beings." Rabbi Bernard D.

Perlow of the Forest Avenue Synagogue char-acterlzed the UN decision on Pale, tine as a "positive step toward solving the Jewish problem In the world. It's not the entire solution, but Its a move toward a solution." MOVE TOWARD JUSTICE. Arnold Berman, President of the Cincinnati District Zionist Organ-ization of America, declared: "The opening of Palestine to the Jews is a trumpet call to the whole world, proclaiming that the United Nations will work for Justice and freedom of all peoples." Pointing out that European Jews "have been the first and greatest victims of Fascist fury," he continued: "The war was fought In the name of Justice and freedom. Today we can bellev that we will not lose th peace by permitting the Innocent to suffer and to be cut off from their rights as human beings." Establishment of a Jewish state by the UN "will inspire the p-pressed of all nations and all faiths to stand for liberty and to carry on their struggle to live In freedom and honor," Berman said. Pales, tine, he added, would be "a light to drive away the darkness of cynic.

Ism and despair threatens i our times." Dr. Julian Morgenstern, former President of Hebrew Union College, said: "This Is something which we accept with hope, but also with a deep sense of responsibility and with a prayer that It may be for the redemption and the blessing of the Jewish people and also of their Arab neighbors." In New York the Amerlcsn Zlnn- 1st Emergency Council hailed hr UN's action as ending' "2,000 years -of national homelesaness for the Jewish people." The Jewish' Agency for Palestine ing of One celebration r-Ht they wduld not obey. It was the second walkout la UN history. The first was by Andrei A. Gromyko of Russia, who left th Securltv Council in protest against a decision in the Iranian cast in March, 1948.

Soon after the Crucial vote on partition the 1947, Assembly adjourned finally at 8:53 p.m. Tha session began September 18. Tha next Assembly, a special session Is called, is slated In soma European city next September. U. RUSSIA AGREE.

Warehousemen Ask Law For Protection On Jobs; Pickets Feared, Group Says Ths decision on Palestine found the United States and Russia team-' to workers to "defend the republic." Extra troops were rushed into the northern coal fields near Arras and a clash between State Militia and demonstrators was reported from Saint Etlennc in the central mining area. Reports from Etienne said fighting broke out between Republican Security wards and demonstrating strikers when workers tried to occupy the Prefecture, the local office of the Central Government, after bombarding the building with tones. TEAR CAS USED. The guards hurled tear gas bombs into the crowds, but the rioters pressed on and disarmed some gendarmes. Troops armed with tommy guns raced Into the square in front of the Prefecture and restored order.

The National Assembly worked through the night to forge Schu-man's anti-Communist program into law. All types of agitation would come under the government's power to suppress, which Schuman demanded of the assembly. The Premier's virtual declaration of war against Communist agitators was made in a wild assembly meeting. He charged that Communists were bringing in more and more foreign agitators to foment strikes. "Among trouble makers and On Basic Principles As Papers Appear Without ITU Aid BY JOHN F.

CRON1N. The Enquirer's City Editor. srRciAL sisrATra to ths inqcuke. Chicago, Nov. 29 Wide differences in basic principles involved have led to the current strike of printers on the big daily newspapers here.

The labor controversy itself may have widespread implications for organized labor generally and for management, too, but the fact that the newspapers are being published without printers may transcend in importance the strike issues for the publishing industry. After discussing various aspects of the two-phase question involved in this major strike with representatives of management, labor officials, editors and other newsmen, these points seem particularly significant: The International Typographical Union, Local 16, is seeking a working arrangement without a contract. Other unions in the newspapers are abiding by the new Taft-Hartley Act and fulfilling their contracts, even though this means crossing picket lines. A spokesman for Local 16, ITU, asserts that the printers' union will abide by the law of the land, while insisting that the only Issue in the strike is the question of wages. EDITIONS READABLE, KILL SIZED.

And the newspapers are coming out with their editions without printers. This feat of publishing without printers Is a hectic business. I have had confirmation of that from a number of editorial department personnel on the big dailies here today. full-sized editions are coming out Sometimes editions are on time, sometimes they aralate. but the fact that full-sized papers- are belng'prlnted, is surprising.

The papers ire carrying just about all their standard features and advertising, although news is not as current, because of time lapse in preparation. The five major dallies and one dally commercial paper here have a combined circulation of more than 2,930,000. Arthur Hall, Circulation Director of the Dally News, reported that there had been very little decline In circulation. Others confirmed his statement and pointed out that later edition times, which caused papers to miss train and bus schedules, accounted for much of the decline. Under the present expedient, news is gathered and written by reporters in the conventional way, except that tne papers are cooperating in some phases where competition prevails normally.

But after the news Is edited, It is sent to long rows of special typewriters. Here girls retype the stories so that both margins are even. Letters that form the words of headlines are pasted together with gummed tape. Then the stories and headlines, along with advertising, are pasted on a paper page form sheet which then is photo-engraved. COMPOSING ROOM IS BY-PASSED.

It is this typing and engraving that by-passes the composing room. Standard composing room procedure is to set the type in lead on linotype machines. But now the linotype machines are dark ghosts In silent formation. When the engraving room turns out the page-sized plate3, they are sent to the stereotyping room, where mats are made. The procedure is standard from there on.

Joseph Rhoden, Chairman of Local 16's Newspaper Scale Committee, discussed the printers' side of the strike with me and explained that the "sole issue" in the strikt was increased wages. He said that there was no issue of a contract, hours or working conditions. There seems to, be no doubt that the 1,600 printers on the six papers are solid in the strike. On the other hand, the publishers appear to be solid in their position. And they disagree strongly with the union In the contention that wages are the sole Issue.

In fact, management spokesmen contend that the wage demand was wrought up at the last moment to provide an "economic issue" for the strike. The union had proposed a contract, to the publishers which was rejected. The union contends that the contract wjs valid under the Taft-Hartley Act, while management contends that It was not Since the Taft-Hartley Act forbids the closed shop, this undoubtedly is an Issue, because management is Insisting on a contract. T'lere seems to be unanimous opinion among persons I talked with, both in editorial and business departments, that the publishers do not want to upset the closed shop status that has prevailed, even if they cannot put such a guarantee into a contract. TAFT-HARTLEY LAW INVOLVED.

While union spokesmen Insist that wage scales provide the only issue and the strike vote was taken on this issue nearly everyone else feels that the Taft-Hartley Act plainly is Involved. After hearing both tides, it is difficult to see how this strike can be settled without at least the implication of the weight of the Taft-Hartley Act. If this is true, the settlement seems to have highly important bearing on both labor and management. If the publishers accede and permit the printers to return to work without a contract, a long-time precedent of labor contracts Is affected; if the printers accede una agree to sign a contract, one of the oldest recognized closed shops will be affected at least In the contract terms Apparently newspapers here have been anticipating the Impasse for some time, because they have equipped themselves with several types of double-margin typewriters and have been making "dry runs" to experiment with the process that is being used now. Each paper has its own variations, but all are pursuing the same procedure In a general way.

Other unions are working under their existing contracts. The next contract to expire is that of the mailers' union, which ends on January 3. Some others expire later In 1C48, while others extend to 1949. OTHER CITIES SEND' OBSERVERS. In addition to a Detroit delegation, newspapermen have been arriving from various other cities to study the sigr.iiicant situation here.

1 -vEoth sides in this controversy recognize that the issues i are of great Importance and are Impregnated with potential Influence for many lines of endeavor all over the country. Tonight pickets are marching on Icy sidewalks in front of the great buildings where normally they would be setting type. A wind-driven snow beats against their serious faces. Inside the building, 'men and women are working long hours, accepting new functions to fill the gap of a dark composing room, But the contest Is orderly. Cold marchers outside, warm but busy personnel Inside the building both reflect tenacity, but an unfortunate kind af tenacity.

Its them yesterday waa the rola that Jewish youth might, play in Palestine, with emphasis on the pioneering to be done in settling and developing the country and consolidating a nation. "American Jewish youth are essentially needed now more than ever In the history of Jewish Palestine," Daniel Brisker, representing the general Zionist youth of Palestine, told tha delegates. "Let us not think for a single moment that the establishment of a Jewish slate in Palestine will by any means end or even curtail the necessary aid and active assistance of American Jewish youth, "Once a Jewish state Is 'established American youth must, actively affiliate itself with the building of that nation. Pioneers and skilled personnel from America possessing the traditional ability of the American 'people will play a decisive role In building a strong Jewish Palestine." Brisker was one of 7B.OO0 young Jews of the; 700,000 total Jewish population of Palestine who volunteered for service in World War II. He served four years in British Middle Eastern armies.

His present mission Is to train and advise pioneers who expect to go overseas to aid In developing Palestine. Iast night's principal speaker was Yehuda Hellman, noted Palestinian journalist. Hellman said he did not feel that the Arab states could. or would, mount a war should discontent with partition rise to a warlike degree, hut that in any event he felt Palestinian Jewry was capable and prepared to cope with any actuation. served notice that 1 tha decleloa would bo opposed "by all uunng ine session, wnirn ran employer, and our only desire Is to be able to go to and from our work without fear or Intimidation or molestation," the statement said.

It was pointed out that the em-' ployers had filed a petition with the NLRB asking for decertification of Local 861 as its bargaining agent and for an election to choose a bargaining agent. "Because of the clement involved, to go -through with all the red tape or due process of law to arrive at a fair conclusion of the controversy, and because of the stand taken by the union, namely placing pickets around our place of work, along with several carloads of men strategically located aiound the warehouse when we attempt to work, we are prohibited from employment for fear of sustaining bodily harm," the petition, cqntlnued.
