1943 Palestine Roper Poll Cantina4 Pram First Paaa Dies U. of D. Speaker -dp Vy. i v. K'vv Jj 3L Centlnara Prase First Pan returning Jewish warriors who iauntilv wore captured red tar- bouches the Arab fez as symbols of victory in Manshieh, residents of Tel Aviv were warned to be ready to take to first floor rooms and basements in event the British shell the city ln retaliation.

There was no indication from Tel Aviv that such action had begun. Meanwhile, King Abdullah oi Trans-Jordan, Ignoring British denials, told a reporter in Amman his Arab Legionnaires had occupied the Biblical town of Jericho, 20 miles northeast of Jerusalem, with "scout troops which always precede the regular army." An Associated Press reporter went directly to Jericho. He was told by the Legion commander the troops were there only under British orders to protect British evacuation routes from Palestine. Arab Nations to Attack In Amman, Regent Emir Abdul Hah of Iraq said tonight that "aU Arab countries are completely agreed to rescue Palestine, and their official armies will soon take action." He and the Iraqi foreign and defense ministers held a four-hour meeting with Abdullah and members of the Trans-Jordan cabinet. The Trans-Jordan foreign minister said that "all Arab regular armies will take action long before May 15." the date the British plan to end their Palestine mandate.

Associated Press correspondent Max Boyd, who arrived in Jerusalem today from Cairo, saw at least one train of 25 or 30 cars loaded with guns and vehicles of the Egyptian army moving toward the southern Palestine frontier. There was still no official news that any Arab army had actually crossed the frontier. U. S. Secretary of State George Marshall told newsmen in Washington that the United States had been assured by an Arab League spokesman that Arab armies are not invading Palestine at this time.

Marshall said he believed trey would not do so. (British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bcvin told the House of Commons Britain would continue to finance and officer the Trans-Jordan Arab Legion after surrender of the mandate May 15. Bevin reaffirmed British determination to withdraw from Palestine by that date.) A Haganah bulletin announced capture of Kherigia and Saqiya, thus flacking Salama. an Arab fortress oosition on tne Jerusalem-Tel Aviv road. Unofficial sources said Yazur was heavily attacked and some strongholds in or around Abu Kebir were occupied.

Haganah said the villages served as bases for attacks on Tel Aviv. British Give 'Warning The British district governor in Jaffa warned Tel Aviv last night i that the British would not tolerate capture of Jaffa. A Jewish Agency spokesman in Jerusalem said the attack on Jaffa was not one of conquest, but due to "day and night attacks on the Tel Aviv border area with various weapons directed from Jaffa for five months. There is no desire on our part to remain there permanently or to interfere with normal civilian life of its inhabitants." In Manshieh Quarter are the British police building, criminal investigation headquarters and the Jaffa railway station. The CID headquarters and police buildings were said to have been by-passed by the Jews to avoid bringing the British, into the conflict.

Agree on Trace Plan fAt Lake Success, the agreement by Jewish and Arab rep Advertisement tust a month before the Italian elections. They show that Mr. Hoffman's new product the Marshall plan will not only be appreciated in Europe it is needed sorely. An economically depressed and hopeless 1 people who thought democracy had no answer to communist aggression and who thought were losing the struggle against Communism can hardly be expected to be the most stalwart- bearers of the banner of democracy. fCopirtfhf, 194S.

New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) Airport Cantlaaed Fraaa First county contribution of (141.300 and federal aid or 136.700. Don W. Martin, airport manager. said last night the 1947 General Assembly authorized a bond issue of up to $1,000,000 for airport im provements while the county also has $250,000 ln unissued bonds authorized by the 1941 Legislature. He pointed out that first of all the money must be authorized by Congress and secondly it must be offi cially aoepted and matched by the county.

If the $277,600 becomes avauawe for the 1948-49 fiscal year, he said that the bulk of It will be used for taxlways, high intensity lighting, improvement of aprons as well as grading, drainage, and miscellaneous utilities. No part of the money will be used for any start on a new terminal building, the airport manager said. He explained that the temporary structure now In use is considered adequate for present needs. The new building 1 planned for the DuPont Parkway side of the airport and will be built when the volume of business warrants its construction and when costs make its. building feasible.

Some of the funds may be used for additional 1.000 feet of runway but Mr. Martin considers this not of primary importance since the field now has 23,000 feet of runway space. The project now being studied by CAA authorities would be another step in making the airport among the finest in the country. The instrument landing system will allow landings during bad weather when visibility is limited. Localizers are placed at each end of a runway and 15 markers of bright neon lights are placed at stated intervals along each side of the runway.

The pilot coming in on a fogbound field thus will be able to see the course of the runway from beginning to end. F. W. DRUMMOND DIES SUDDENLY AT HIS HOME Frederick W. Drummond, 59, mechanical engineer with the DuPont Ccmpany, died of a heart attack yesterday at his home, 134 Dena Place, Pleasant Hills.

STATE POLICE TO CHECK DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE Major Herbert Barnes, commanding officer, Delaware State Police, said yesterday troopers are prepared to take steps against persons found throwing garbage and trash on public highways and private property. He said he has received numerous complaints of the nuisance, particularly in sections north and south of Wilmington. The disposal of garbage or trash on the highways or private property is a public nuisance, is unsanitary and a violation of the state laws, he added.

DUIMCIIU RADIO LAB. PROFESSIONAL RADIO SERVICE SINCE 1927 :844 MADISON ST.U TOM BRENEMAN, RADIO STAR, DIES Heart Attack is Fatal To Master of Ceremonies Of 'Breakfast in Hollywood' HOLLYWOOD, April 28 Tom Breneman. jovial mastermind of one of radio's most popular shows, died unexpectedly today of a heart attack while guests were gathering for his broadcasts. The baby-faced, grey-h aired master of ceremonies of "Breakfast in Hollywood" who sold soap and cereal and brought laughs to an estimated 10,000.000 persons daily succumbed at nis Encino home a few minutes after breakfast. He was 47.

He retired last night, apparently in the best of health, although a few weeks ago he took a month's rest on doctor's orders. Breneman was a snowman unique in radio. He had been on the air off and on for more than 20 years, had virtually grown up with the industry and knew it from the standpoint of a performer, announcer, station manager. He had a neat way of making his audience love his jokes, sometimes almost insulting. He kissed old ladies, and they ate it up.

Bald men happily accepted pink plastic combs. He ridiculed women's hats, donned the more extravagant chapeaux himself to the shrieks of delight from his audience. The line was already forming for today's broadcast when Breneman's wife, the former actress Biilie Dunn, heard a thud in the bedroom. She called a doctor, but Breneman was dead. The program was transcribed a day in advance, and officials of the American Broadcasting Co.

said yesterday's will never be heard. A native of Waynesboro. he attended Columbia for a time. He started his "breakfast" shows at Sardi's restaurant here in 1941, expanded to nationwide broadcasts later that year, into a bigger restaurant in 1945 and a still larger one this year. In addition to his widow, two chil dren, Gloria, 19, and Tom Jr, 14, survive.

KNUDSEN RITES TODAY WILL BE BRIEF, SIMPLE DETROIT, April 28 With brief and simple services William S. "Big Bill" Kundsen will be buried tomorrow. The services will be those of the Lutheran Church in which Knud- sen, production genius, was baptized in his native Denmark many years ro. There will be no eulogy and pray ers will be short. There will be Scripture readings and several of the hymns that long have been part of the Lutheran burial ceremony.

Knudsen, who mobilized American industry during World War II and won the Distinguished Service Medal for "brilliant achievement" in that effort, died yesterday following a cerebral hemorrhage. He was 69. Today Knudsen's body lay in state in a midtown funeral parlor, viewed Dy hundreds from high and low stations in industry including many who had pioneered with him in au tomobile mass production. Lend-Leas Contlnaed From First rare hall also indicated that the United States intends to make certain that any Austrian peace treaty to which it agrees will clearly guarantee the future independence of Austria. In another development involving relations with the Soviet Union, the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted today to investigate measures which this country might take to strengthen the power of the United Nations in dealing with actual or threatened aggression.

The committee tentatively sched uled Warren R. Austin, American delegate to the United Nations, to be the first witness hearings beginning Monday. Proposes U. S. Take Lead Representative Judd (R-Minn said the committee study would be oasea on a resolution he has pro posed, calling for the United States to take the lead in trying to elimi nate lijc vcwj irom me kj in ty Council on issues of aggression UffiJ n3S! t' p1, it? about the Marshall plan were then asked: From what you know about the Marshall Plan are you generally favorable to it, generally against it, or haven't you made up your mind about it?

In no nation is there any evidence of widespread public opposition to the aid program. The people think the recovery program will have a good over-all effect and if some think we will impose conditions regarding use of the aid, they apparently don't mind the conditions too much. Most Europeans look upon the plan as a move on our part to stem the tide of Communism. Many, however, see in the aid program a genuine desire on the part of the American people to help Europe get back on its feet. Only a small minority think we have selfish, narrow economic moves in offering them material assistance.

Ttie people of each of the countries were asked: People are not all agreed on what America hopes to gain for herself program of aid to Europe. Which of out of the Marshall plan. Here are some possible reasons why she might want to carry out such a program of aid ot Europe. Which of these reasons seems to describe best why America wants to send aid? i i e. 6.

But when we remember the debate in our Congress, perhaps we can't blame the Europeans too much if they have lost sight of that original purpose and now look on the plan as our answer to the challenge of Communism.

Perhaps, it's high time Europe thought we had a challenge to Communism. At the time the study wat done, most of them didn't think we were doing too well in the cold war. In the present conflict between Russia and America, which side do you think is gaining ground today and which is losing ground?

But they also point up the ears of the people that their present non-Communist governments will not find an answer to their pressing econmic problems. When men are a depressed economic state which is growing worse and when they i-ee no hope for improvement, they are receptive to suggestions for a change.

Hungry people are always a breeding ground for totalitarianism. And not many of the people in Europe are happy over their current economic plight. A cross-section o. people in six countries was asked: Compared with last year at the same time, do you think you are now better off, worse off, or about the same?

These results were all obtained Tom Breneman noon.

resentatives that the walled hoy city of Jerusalem should be spared from the fighting in Palestine made no provision for the larger new section of Jerusalem. (The Jewish Agency and Arab Higher Committee representatives recommended to their battling peoples ji the Holy Land that a truce should prevail to rover the small, ancient area of shrines held sacred by Chris-tion, Moslem, Jewish and other religions. Cease-fire orders for the sacred citadel would take effect at the earliest possible moment. Meanwhile, o'ner details of the truce will be worked out in the United Nations Trusteeship Council. (Hopes for a truce covering all of Jerusalem seemed doomed when Jamai Husseinl, vice-chairman of he Arab Higher Committee, tela the council that the- Arabs couid accept such a plan oftly if it covered all of Palestine.

Weeks of efforts to reach such a solution have beea fruitless. HUldring Recalled (In Washington, Secretary of State Marshall today recalled former assistant Secretary John H. Hilldring from private life to take charge of American Pol- lev on the rapidly darkening Palestine situation. (The State Department announced that Hilldring would ba a special assistant to Marshall "for Palestine affairs." (His appointment may foreshadow urgent new efforts by the American government to obtain a peaceful solution of tha Jewish-Arab fight over the Holy Land. (Hilldring held a similar responsibility last fall and was generally identified at that time with strong American support for the Palestine partition plan.)

The United Mine Workers president and the senator forged ahead with their proposal in a meeting with Van Horn. The operator trustee approved one motion. This calls for investment of $25,000,000 of the miners welfare and retirement fund in government short term bonds. Lewis and his 400.000 soft coal miners are now under injunction against striking. This came after the miners were out six weeks' because no pension agreement had been reached with operators.

Bridges accepted an invitation to become third trustee, a post then vacant. Lawyers generally believe the existing injunction wouldn't apply in a strike over terms of a new coal contract. The present contract expires June 30. Van Horn was not present when Lewis and Bridges held their news conference announcing administrative plans for the pensions. Van Horn promised a statement tomorrow.

It was understood the $5,000,000 which the Bridges-Lewis plan would set aside for immediate payment of pensions was placed in a separate bank account. Chrysler Strike Mapped DETROIT.

When you stop to think that more children will die abroad this year than all the people who died from bullets and bombings in any year of the last war, you will realize how desperate the situation is and how urgently our help is needed NOW not later but NOW when it can be sent over quickly to save some child who would otherwise die. Because of this urgency, this fashion show came into being. There wasn't time to secure a place big enough to hold everyone and since the Country Club is limited in space, the invitations had to be limited also so the committee selected a group of people whom they hoped would be interested in the United Nations Appeal for Children.

If you are interested, and would like to attend, make out your check to American Overseas Aid, Inc, and send it to Mrs. Richard Dorsey Morgan. P. O. Box 604, and I am sure tickets will be sent ycu if they are not all sold.
