Egypt and Israel signed today an historic ar mistice, hailed by the United Nations mediator as an epochal event loreshaaowing the early return of peace to the Middle East.

The mediator. Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, said the agreement "vir tually eliminates the possibility of a future armed conflict" between Egypt and Israel. He called it "a significant contribution to world peace." Now, said Bunche, "the concen tration will be on peaceful settle ment of all outstanding questions.

political, territorial and economic. between Israel and her Arab neigh bors." The U. N. Palestine Conciliation Commission already has started to work for this. Example For Arab States Egypt and Israel, by their agree ment, blazed the path for the other Arab states.

Iraq already has de cided to approve whatever agree ments are reached by the other neighbors of Palestine who nine months ago bad vowed to destroy the Jewish state. Talks with Trans- Jordan, the most formidable of Israel's foes, begin Monday. Other nations at war with Israel were Syria and Lebanon. The Israeli Egyptian armistice leaves Israel in possession of nearly all the southern Negev desert, which she hopes to colonize, Including Beersheba. mother city of the Arab race.

It outlines broad demilitarization zones, binds Egypt to surrender all territory she holds in Palestine ex cept Gaza and its five-mile-wide coastal strip, and to withdraw to a defensive line 17 to 30 miles inside her own frontier. The armistice is clearly described in its preamble as a prelude to a permanent peace. In Cairo. Prime Minister Abdel Had! Pasha told newsmen the agreement was on "purely military questions" and did not deal with the political future of the Holy Land. In Tel Aviv, Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok said the armistice would prove a "momentous event in the life of the Middle East." Bunche said the armistice incorporates in its first article a declara tion which Is "very much akin to a non-aggression pact." It provides for a substantial withdrawal of troops and reduction of armed forces by both sides.

Bunche Thanks Signers While cameras recorded the story, the delegates signed their names 24 times to five copies of the agreement. Bunche then told them. "I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Still to be settled are the fate of the southern tip of the Negev des ert from Beersheba southward to the Red Sea, the central area of Palestine held by the Arab Legion and Iraq's and the old part of Jerusalem.

These questions will be determined largely by armistice negotiations with Trans-Jordan.

Louis, Report Complains A proposal to organize a Crime Commission here to speed the administration of Justice was submitted by George C. Smith, president of the Chamber of Commerce, to the Chamber's Executive Committee yesterday and it was promptly approved. Smith's report, titled "The Crime Situation in St. Louis," covered 115 pages and was taken up by the committee at a closed session. Smith's report was a detailed survey or the activities and records of the police, prosecutors and the courts.

Smith's Chief Points Chief points made by Smith in his contention that a Crime Commission is needed here were: 1. St. Louis, in the field of crime, is being governed by men and not by laws." He referred, in this connection, to the arbitrary practice of the courts and prosecuting officials in accepting pleas of guilty to lesser offenses than the original charge. 2. Gambling and liquor laws are not being properly enforced.

3. In general, police efficiency is good, but St. Louis has a poor rec ord ior solution or crimes against property. Calls Awards Exorbitant ,4. St.

Louis Juries notoriously award exorbitant damage verdicts in court cases. 5. There is Inadequate supervision of the bail bond business. 6. The criminal courts and prosecuting officials fail to make adequate reports of their activities.

7. The police Traffic Violation Bureau is not authorized by law, ana its use curtails the "educational value of court procedure." Explains City's Need St. Louis needs a Crime Commls sion, Smith said, inorder to be "as sured of the proper functioning of our police, the courts and the of fices of prosecution In the admin istration of criminal justice." It also is needed, he said, "in or der that a program of continuous research can be developed and carried out looking toward the enactment of laws and court rules neces sary to cure conditions found in need of remedy, and to the end that crime may be more quickly solved by the police and tried by the courts so that justice may not be delayed. Smith was particularly critical of the reduced pleas practice of the staff of Circuit Attorney James W. GriTlin.

Blames "Self -Convenience" "It means that both the courts and the offices of prosecution have been seeking self-convenience In' stead of following the more ardu ous task of trying criminal cases on the issues Involved, he said. Smith assailed the failure of the criminal courts and the state prose cuting officers here to make "ade quate and Informative reports." This failure, he said, 'Is a reflec. tion on their offices and stems either from an Inadequate supervision of the lower courts by the Supreme 'Court and of the prosecuting officers by the Supreme Court or the attorney general. Or perhaps, he "there are Inadequate laws relating to the responsibility of the lower courts and their prosecuting officials." Citing Star-Times news stories of recent months, Smith asserted that "gambling Is not being prosecuted as gambling in St. Louis to any extent," because persons charged with gambling violations have been allowed to plead guilty to lesser offenses.

Mentions Damage Awards "Personal injury damage awards made by St. Louis Juries are famous throughout the country for their size," he said. "This notorious situation demands careful study, for it Imposes high costs for liability insurance on all our businesses, and individuals desiring to protect themselves by insuring." Smith also directed attention to a Star-Times disclosure that during 1948 there was only one conviction as charged in the Court of Criminal Correction for violation of liquor laws. countries public funerals are unrivaled as occasions on which to cultivate acquaintances. How many an interesting political connection was first conceived by a certain foreign bead of a mission by a convulsive handshake in a funeral cortege, and cemented by giving him a lift home These gems of wisdom also are dispensed in the pages to the up-and-coming young diplomat: Mr.

"There are always to be found at official parties some personages whose talk and Influence have Head Israel Treiman Is To Replace Him Governor To Confer With Sen. Hilsman Before Announcement Dan P. Reardon has with drawn as Governor Forrest Smith's nominee for the presidency of the St. Louis Police Board, it was learned today. Israel Treiman, attorney and former Washington University professor, is expected to be named by Smith to replace him.

Before the official announcement is made, however. Smith will confer with State Senator William E. Hils man (D St Louis) in whose district Treiman resides. If for some reason the appointment would not meet with the approval of Hilsman. who in effect could control con firmation by the state Senate.

Trei man in all probability would not be named. Treiman. 48 years old, resides at 5635 Waterman blvd. He is a member of the law firm of Lashly. Lashly.

Miller Clifford, and is known as a liberal Democrat. "If Governor Smith honors me by appointing me to the police board. I will be glad to serve. Treiman declared. He added that be had informed the governor of bis view yesterday.

Won't Discus Reasons Reardon, who is now in Washing ton, refused to disniss the reasons for his apparently sudden decision to withdraw. It is understood, however, that he had been angered and his family considerably distressed toy published rumors that gambling inter ests expected to open up in St. Louis after his board took office. It is also reported that Reardon withdrew rather than accept orders from members of the state Senate on important -appointments the Police Department after the new board took over. Smith denied be had any knowledge of Reardon 's withdrawal or the prospective appointment of Treiman.

It was understood; however, that the leaking out of word that Reardon was withdrawing and of Treiman 's probable appointment cad embarrassed the governor because of the almost iron-dad senatorial custom that governors are obligated to discuss appointments tn advance with the senator in whose district the prospective appointees reside. Traditionally the Senate declines to confirm any appointment op- tusrAjl a ronatw nm the fic of ue appointee. Hilsman told The Star-Times he bJJ and knew nothing of Reardon a withdrawal. Asked whether Treiman would be acceptable to him. Hilsman replied: I dont know.

Committee Delays Action Disclosure of Reardon's withdrawal followed a previously unexplained action yesterday of the Senate Municipal Corporations Committee in failing to act on the police nominations. MaH. rtrtx Charles H. Osterteg, 'and Dan Church. Treiman told The Star-Times he conferred with Smith for 30 minutes yesterday.

He said there was "an indication that Governor Smith is considering me" for the police board. I presume be also is considering others." Treiman added. "I have no official notification that I am the governor's linal choice." Treiman expressed 'the personal opinion, which be said was based on his conversation witn Smith, that gamblers were going to be "bitterly disappointed if they expect to operate in St- Louis." "I got the impression from the governor that his new police board is going to operate on its cwn. witn-out strings, and with no interference from Jefferson City as long as it does its job." be said. Treiman was one of the leaders in establishing the nonpartisan court plan in Missouri.

During the war he was chief attorney tn St. Louis for the Office of Price Administration, later becoming regional bearing commissioner. Lost and Found pvi ETisrsreTS BAR PIS L.jt-5: diemoDd; liberal te-rd. CA. 0667.
