He died on his 44th wedding Recognition rontinurfl Fraai Tint Para government actually Is in operation and is the ruling authority in the territory in question.

"De facto" recognition usually is extended to provisional governments. "De Jure" recognition means recognition of a government as the legally constituted authority and ordinarily is followed by an exchange of diplomatic representatives. (Molotov's letter made no mention of "de facto" or "de Jure." However, it described the State of Israel as the Jewish people's "sovereign state." and looked forward to a "successful development of friendly relations between the U. S. S.

R. and the State of Israel." President Truman's recognition, announced when the British mandate for Palestine ended, did not mention sovereignty.) Shertok's Cable Shertok's cable to Molotov an Conn, and Director of the Wesley Foundation at Yale University, will be the school's preacher, giving demonstrative sermons. Dr. Ferdinand Sigg. of Switzerland, one of the delegates from the European Area to the Conference, will give a closeup of European affairs in relation to the church.

One innovation of the school this year will be the evening meetings which are to be held at the Wesley Church in Dover, in which neighboring congregations hav? been invited to participate. In addition to the speakers listed, one of which will address each evening session, a musical program will be given in connection with the talks.

Flowers will be presented by the Ministers' Wives Association of the conference. The Rev. Paul E. Reynolds, pastor of Bethany Methodist Church, Pocomoke City, Md. will preside at the memorial service.

This will be followed by a service of Holy Communion. The Rev. Dr. Robin Gould, pastor of McCabe Memorial Methodist Church, will be the speaker, and T. Blair Ely, conference lay dearer, will preside.

The communion will be participated in by ministerial members, district superintendents, the Rev. George H. Pigueron, pastor of the host church, as well as lay communicants. The anniversary of the Boards of Education and Temperance will be observed this evening at 8 p. m.

He said outlawing communists would not endanger civil liberties of other persons. Dewey said a law to outlaw Com munism would De useless oeeause there "are 27 acts already which outlaw "every conceivable form of subversion." Stassen, in rebuttal, asked the governor why. if there were 27 such acts. Communists in New York have not been prosecuted under them.

"Why Is it," Stassen asked, "that New York, with 9 per cent of the nation's population, has 40 per cent" of its Communists? He claimed that In recent years only one Communist in New York has been prosecuted, and that was in a libel case involving a Communist newspaper. Stassen said the Mundt bill would outlaw the Communist Party because the party alms at "undermining" liberties and "overthrowing" the American government. The Stassen said, would specifically outlaw organizations di rected by loreign nations and aimed at overthrowing the United States government. War Threat. Says Stassen "The Communists are the threat of war," Stassen declared.

He said the matter of outlawing the party was not thought-control. The Mundt bill does not violate the Constitution, he added. In his rebuttal Dewey claimed Stassen's only arguments that the bill does make the party illegal were the assertions of Foster. "Mundi himself says the bill does not outlaw the party," Dewey said. "Therefore, Stassen has surren dered." He claimed the former Minnesota governor actually had told a nation wide audience that he has changed his position on the Communist stand.

"The Mundt bill Is probably harmless," Dewey said, "although I have my doubts about its constitu tionality." He characterized as a good provision" the part of the bill which would require Communists and Com munist front organizations to register. Stassen said he believed Governot Dewey was "sincere" In his stand on Communism, but accused Dewey of having a "soft" attitude. The issue has been termed by Dewey "the major issue of our time" and one upon which the qualifications of a Presidential candidate should be weighed.

PROFESSIONAL RADIO SERVICE SINCE 1927 S844 MADISON ST.t THINGS nounced that the State of Israel had been proclaimed an Independent Jewish state May 15, at the ending of the British mandate, and that the present provisional government will act as the state's governing bodyj until the setting up of duly elected bodies of state In accordance with a constitution to be drawn up by the constituent assembly not later than Oct.

1. He added that the State of Israel will be open to the immigration of Jews from all countries, that it will promote development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants, that it will be based on the principles of freedom. Justice and peace, and will uphold full social and political equality of all citizens without regard to race, religion or sex. He said the country will follow the principles of the United Nations Charter is ready to cooperate with the organs and representatives of the UN. Requesting that the Soviet government grant recognition to Israel "in the near future," he expressed confidence such action will strengthen the friendly relations between the Soviet Union and the State of Israel.

Soviet Answer The Russian reply said: "To Moshe Shertok, Foreign Minister of the Provisional Government of Israel: "Confirming receipt of your telegram of May 16. in which you inform the government of the U. S. S. R.

of a proclamation on the basis of the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly of Nov. 29. 1947. of creation in Palestine of the independent State of Israel and made the request for recognition of the State of Israel and its pro visional government by the U. S.

head of the American Communist Party, and Stassen say the Mundt bill would outlaw the Com munists. He then quoted from the report of the House Un-American Activities Committee in purported refutation of Stassen's claim. He said the House committee has been doing "a fine, solid American job. It has been doing a fine job, of eiposmg tne tximmunists. The report of the committee, Dewey continued, rejected the idea of outlawing the Communist Party for these reasons: 1.

It would drive the Communists further underground. We need to expose them. 2. Outlawing has not been effective in other countries. 3.

We could not criticize other totalitarian nations for their actions if we adopt similar, measures. "We must keep the Communists in the open so that we can defeat them and what they stand for," Dewey said. The method of outlawing the party Is "Hitler's and Stalin's methods," he added. Dewey claimed the Communists grew In power in those countries that outlawed them. He pointed to Italy under Mussolini, and France under the Nazis as examples of his arguments.

He said he was against any law sent up any fighter defense planes. There is a complete censorship on any reports about a Jewish air force. Meanwhile. 600 additional Jewish immigrants from Europe arrived in the new state. Immigration Minister Moshe Shapira said they were the last who had awaited their turn to enter the Holy Land without British visas.

"With the immigrants the heroic chapter of illegal immigration in the face of the Brltlsn oiocicaae is closed." he said. tt ihnnt i non ooo Jews are ready to immigrate to Israel. Half are in Arab states, witn tne otners in German and Austrian camps, ractam Pnmnpan countries the United States and South Africa, he said. Shapira said Israel plana to or-ffaniw the immigration of 250.000 Jews during the next two years. Preference will oe given youina soic to help the war effort, he added.

Arabs Report Successes CAIRO. May 17 W) Arab dis- natrhes said todav that Arab armies have penetrated northeastern Palestine in an operation which could determine the control of that fertile region. The area now is claimed by the new Jewish state oi israei. The Denetration coincides wltn an advance the Arab Higher Executive office said the Egyptian army has made in the south to within 30 miles of Tel Aviv, the temporary capital of Israel. A dispatch from the Iraqi army sector in northern Palestine said King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan todav had personally directed infan try and artillery attacks.

They were said to have resulted in the capture of the Jewish settlement of Nahar- aylm and the Gesher police post. Abdullah took over personal command during a visit to the front. The Gesher do lice post and Na- harayim. a border town, have been obstacles holding up the Iraqi ad vance for 48 hours. They are situ ated only a few miles south of the Sea of Gallilee.

The dispatch said 300 Jews oe-fended the Gesher post. A Damascus dispatch quoted mili tary sources there as saying that Arab forces "are pouring" across Jordan River bridgeheads into northeastern Palestine. Syrian and Iraqi columns, the in formants said, are deploying for possible advances up the western shore rf the Sea of Galilee and westward through the strategically important Beisan Valley. An earlier report from Damascus claimed an Iraqi motorized force was attacking Tiberias, on the shores of Galilee and one of the major cities of the area. The Arab Higher Executive Committee, quoting a communique from the Middle East broadcasting station, said Syrian and Iraqi troops have joined forces in the Samakh area at the southern tip of Galilee.

The town, reported captured by the Syrians, is two and a half miles Inside Palestine from both Syria and Trans-Jordan. An Arab informant In Amman. Trans-Jordan's capital, said the Iraqi army liad made conquests on both sides of the Jordan River about five miles south of Samakh. He said infantry units occupied the Rutenberg hydroelectric station In Trans-Jordan where the Yarmuk River joins the Jordan. King Abdullah once said that two-thirds of Jewish industry in Palestine would be crippled if deprived of power from that station.

A Demascus account said Lebanese troops and irregular Arab volunteers supported by Syrian aircraft claimed victories at the villages of Harawi and Malikya. Situated five miles west and slightly north of Lake Hula, Malikya is on the border dividing northeastern Palestine and Lebanon. An official Arab military source in Amman said the Egyptian army yesterday occupied El Majdal in the southern Palestine coastal belt. An Egyptian communique, telling of the occupation of Gaza by Egyptian troops two days ago, said the towns-of Rafah. Khan Yunis, Ban! Suheila and Deir el Balah were by-: passed.

All these towns are in thel southern coastal belt assigned to tne Arabs under the partition plan. Storms CantiaacS Fraaa Flrat Para the wet weather continues.

Badeau of the American University at Cairo protested by cable to President Truman today United States recognition of Israel. He opposed also the proposed repeal of the American embargo on arms shipment to the Middle East.

He charged the moves were dictated by politics. Dr. Badeau. veteran of 20 years In the Middle East, said repeal of the arms embargo would be both 'inconsistent with the original purpose of the act and dangerous as in ten-sifying and prolonging the present bloody struggle in Palestine." He consulted other American members of the university council before sending his message. He said the U.

S. Government support for the Jewish state would bring both suffering and probably death to many innocent Arabs and non-Zionist Jews "who have lived together in amity for generations." "It is apparent that this action by the present government of the United States is dictated largely by considerations of internal politics and not by sound foreign policy or concern for basic right and justice in Middle" East affairs." Badeau cabled. "This is both unrepresentative of the people of the United States and unworthy of our country's long record of interest in justice and freedom. "As American citizens long resident in the Middle East and devoted to the best interests both of the Middle Eastern peoples and the United States, we are humiliated by this action and strongly repudiate It. We urged that this action be im mediately reviewed and altered by our government." The message said Mr.

Truman's recognition of the de facto Zionist government was "unjust to Palestinian Arab rights and prejudicial to the best interests of the United States in the Middle East." The home office of the American University is in Philadelphia. It is supported by individual lercan contributions and is at tended by hundreds of students from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and other Arabic speaking countries. Palestin Coatlnaad Fraaa First Pas troops had launched a heavy attack against the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem's old walled city. A British account of the Jerusalem attack said the Arabs suf fered 15 casualties dead or wounded. It added that an Arab spokesman had claimed approximately 20 Jews were killed or wounded.

The British account said Arab soldiers were reported to have captured Barclay's Bank and Daroutis Hotel in the heart of Jerusalem. A number of Stern Group members were reported held captive by the Arabs while Jewish forces were said to be holding the Italian hospital and to have penetrated an Arab school. Fighting In Old City Haganah reported heavy fighting near the Jaffa and Damascus gates to the old city of Jerusalem. The Israel army said the Jewish Agency was informed by the Armenian patriarch of the walled city that Arabs had stormed into the patriarchate against his protests. Haganah added that Arab forces attacked a branch of the Hadassah Hospital killing one doctor, one nurse, a patient and wounding several others.

In Cairo the Arab Higher Executive office said the Jewish Agency has authorized the surrender of Jews in the old city of Jerusalem to the Arab volunteer command. The surrender terms "have been accepted by the old city Jews," the office added. (The terms, the office said, provide that the Jews give up their arms that men be considered prisoners of war and that women and children be handed over to the international Red Cross. Arabs Shell City (A pooled dispatch from American correspondents in Jerusalem dated Sunday said virtually all the heart of the Holy City was in the hands of Jewish fighters after 51 hours of furious street fighting that followed the British withdrawal on Friday. Arab shells were falling into the city at that time, the dispatch said.

(Foreign correspondents in Jerusalem have been cut off from normal communications since the British withdrawal. The pooled dispatch came over facilities made available by the U. S. Navy.) A communique from Haganah said its fighters drove back Arab attacks in the Samakh area on the southern shores of the Sea of Galilee, and at Gesher, six miles south of Samakh. Gesher was reported previously under enemy air bombardment and artillery fire after its defenders re fused a surrender ultimatum.

North of the Sea of Galilee Ha ganah claimed the capture of the police station of Nebu Yusha. This is two miles east of Malikya, the town on the Lebanese border which was attacked on the first day of the proclamation of the Jewish state. Today's air attack on Tel Aviv came just after dawn. It was aimed apparently at the port area. It was believed that only two planes one a light or medium bomber passed over the city.

Heaviest Air Attack Yesterday low diving fighter bomb ers hit Tel Aviv three times and in the last attack, late in the afternoon. loosed their heaviest explosives on tne nortnern outskirts. Ambulances raced to the scene. Civil guards hurried to their posts and blocked off traffic on one of the city's main streets. Later, army trucKs and private cars rushed the wounded to hospitals.

Officials placed the death toll in raids yesterday and Saturday at 10. For the first time the enemy planes yesterday encountered some thing like real anti-aircraft barrage. I but as far as is known or observed in xei aviv tne dews nave not yet anniversary. A native of Sedalia. Mr.

If under the American plan, peaceful eSorts at settlement failed the council could move ahead to invoke economic and diplomatic sanctions and throw air, sea and land forces of UN members into action. The firm tone of the new American proposal contrasted with previous council resolutions which had merely appealed to the Jews and Arabs to stop fighting.

Austin said it was clear that the previous council decisions had been ignored. Plan a Surprise The surprise American plan was announced to reporters just before the meeting began. It caused a flurry of excitement in the corridors such as that which followed President Truman's sudden move to recognize Israel last Friday night. Commenting on the Russian recognition, a spokesman for the Jewish Agency said: "We are very pleased. It is ex-t heartening to have the United States and the U.

S. S. R. once again in agreement on the question of Palestine." The move for action to stop the Holy Land fighting brought the United States and Russia closer together in the UN than they have been for months. The two great powers originally supported the partition of Palestine last fall but fell apart when the United States sought to veer away to a UN trusteeship scheme, which failed to get any appreciable support.

Atomic Unit Suspended In another UN field, the U. S. and Russia during the day reached what may be a final disagreement. The UN Atomic Energy Commission voted to suspend all attempts to get together on world atomic- control. The move came after two years of fruitless efforts to break the American-Russian impasse.

Aside from Gromyko's statement, the American Palestine plan was slow in drawing reaction from mem bers of the 11-nation council. Sev eral said they needed Instructions from home governments. Austin, however, pushed for a vote. Austin said he also wanted to ask the seven Arab nations, the Arab Higher Committee and the new state of Israel a series of questions about troops, objectives and agreements. The big five meanwhile was un-abel to reach immediate agreement on a UN mediator for Palestine.

Acting under General Assembly in structions to name a man, the five delegates discussed two candidates and agreed to wire home for in structions. It was understoodthat Count Folks Bernadotte of" the Swedish Red Cross and Paul "Van Zeeland, former primier of Balgium, were under consideration. Faris el Khoury of Syria suggest ed to the council that the question of Israel's legal status should be referred to the International Court of Justice. He said -no immediate decision should be taken and that Arabs and Jews should be given 24 hours to consider the American questions. El Khoury gave the first Arab reaction to the American cease-fire demand when he said: "We have had Security Council resolutions and they have done nothing.

I do not believe the resolution before us would do any good." T. F. Tsiang of China also moved have 48 hours to reply to council. The Palestine Partition Commis sion set up by the Nov. 29, 1947.
