The Arab higher committee for Palestine did not commit itself but the ranking Arab spokesman on the council said he would accept the truce plan with some iron-clad conditions. The council finally gave up at 6:10 p. m. (EST) after Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet deputy foreign minister, declared he had not received his instructions or.

Los Angeles Dons Sign Ford, Michigan Grid Ace Los Angeles, April IS-- Los Angeles Dons of the All-America professional football conference announced today the signing of Len Ford, 22-year-old negro end from the University of Michigan. Ford is six feet, i inches tall and weighs 220 pounds.

He played as defensive end for Michigan for tha past three seasons. In the last Rose Bowl game, he carried the ball twice on end around plays to gain 21 yards in Michigan's 49-0 triumph over University of Southern California. Down ye Old Sports Trail By JOE KEICHLER New York, April 15 UP)-Major league managers, alarmed over the recent waves of i i to key players, today were anxiously counting the days before the official opening of the season. It simply can't start soon enough to please them. At least six top flight performers appear certain to be among the missing: from the starting lineups when the National and American leagues get under way next Monday and Tuesday.

The i jinx has played no favorites. It has hie the high and the low alike. Both the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers, last year's world series rivals, will make their 1948 bows minus their No. 1 catcher, Larry (Yogi) Berra, who was expected to handle catching duties on opening day in Washington Monday, instead will be i i on the sidelines with a split hand. He injured, his mitt i attempting to catch a.

foul ball in an exhibition game early this week. Gus Niarhos, young Kansas City, will do the honors instead. The Dodgers' world series catcher, Bruce Edwards, also will see the opener from, a cozy spot on the bench. A constant sore arm a the sturdy receivers immediate He will be replaced by young Gil Hodges, when the National league champions invade the polo Grounds for the cur- ta-in-raLser on Tuesday. The Boston Redsox and St.

Louis Cardinals, generally regarded bhe most dangerous challengers of the Yankees and Dodgers, also are faced with i problems. The Redsox most likely will be without the services of second baseman Bobby Doerr. The infieMer suffered a back sprain during a 'batting practice session two weeks ago and still cannot swing a bat without pains in his shoulders. Manager Joe McCarthy plans to use rookie Billy Goodman in Doerr's place. The Cardinals, besides worrying over the condition of ace southpaw Howie Pollet's pitching arm, arc still uncertain or Marty Marion's physical condition.

The a shortstop's knee caved in him during an exhibition game two weeks ago. Although he has seen sporadic service since then, none is certain whether he will toe afble to play i innings next Tuesday against Cincinnati. The Giants, who last year were forced to open the season without outfielder Whiley Lockman, again will start without a key man. This time is second baseman Billy Rigney who will be missing-. Rig-ney bothered tjy an ailing arm, will be out of action for at least six weeks His place will be taken 'by i i man Jackie An injury to i baseman Ed Rotinson of Cleveland, has forced Hank Greenberg to vacate his soft- cushioned seat in the vice-presi dent's office for a hard, one on the Indians' bench.

Plagued Iby a soie arm, McCahan has done little i i far. Others who have toeijn sidelined by i i or sickness recently and whose opening day status is doubtful include Ted Williams, Dom Di Maggio and Tex Hughson, Redsox; Frank Papish, Chicago Whitesox; Bill Sevens and Cha.rlie Keller Yankees; Ferris Fain, Bob Savage and Dick Fowler, Philadelphia Athletics; Gil Coan, Washington Senators; Warren Spahn, Boston Braves; Buddy Kerr, Giants, Joe Garagiola, Cardinals; Harry Taylor, Dodgers, and Bot Chesnes Pittsburgh. REFINERS' NEW MANAGER WILL REPORT TODAY By WHITNEY MARTIN New York, April 15.

(IP)-- The Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals seem to have organized a mutual aid society of their own. It is hoped the deal by which the St. Louis club obtained Infielder Ralph LaPointe in exchange for First Baseman Dick Sisler out as well for all concerned as the Harry Walker-Ron Northey swap of last year. Both clubs think they g'ot the best of the Northey-Walker transaction, which makes everything lovely.

In explaining his own satisfaction, Manager Eddie Dyer of the Cards said: "We were desperate at the time for somebody who could hit those fences. Terry Moore and Irv Dusak were out with injuries and Stan Mur-ial was ailing. We just had to have somebody. "We think we did all right. Northey, not playing in as many games, hit 15 home runs and balled in 66 runs.

That's what we wanted. Walker led the league in average with .363, but he hit only one home run and batted in only 41." Both Managers Worried The current deal obviously was the product of two apprehensive minds. Both Dyer and Manager Ben Chapman of the Phils were worried about insurance for certain positions, and both had expressed the hope a deal might be made. In acquiring LaPointe, Dyer can rest a little easier when he contemplates the possibility of Marty Marion falling a on his face while walking out to his shortstop p'ositicn, due to a contrary knee. LaPointe, of course, is no i-Marion, but he is a fairly capable young fellow who has picked up a lot of knowledge since being thrown in the proximity of Eddie Miller, the Phil shortstop.

He hit .308 in 56 games with the Phils last year, better than he hit with Baltimore. It is with a tinge of regret that you learn that Sisler isn't needed by the Cards, although it might be a break for him. to get a chance to play regularly for Chapman. Sisler, a nice kid, ha? worked so darned hard to overcome his shortcomings. His performance always is compared with that of his famous father, George, and that's a handicap.

Sought Advice Occasionally He never tried to capitalize on his father's reputation, though. In fact, he -wanted to do everything on his own, and only occasionally would he write to his dad asking advice, which promptly was forthcoming. The Cards always have Stan Musial to fall back on at first base, although Dyer would much rather use him in the outfield. He still has Nippy Jones, wno might make the grade at first, but Musial always is there in the background. The Cards, incidentally, seem to be in much better shape than they were a year ago.

Dyer snJl wakes up screaming when he dreams of those first 13 games his hig-hly- touted team played at the start of the 1947 season. The St. Louis clu'b. won two of its first four games, then proceeded to lose nine in a row for a record of 11 defeats in 13 starts. They lost the pennant right there.

Anyway, the deal is just another indication that ali baseball trades arjn't made with the river clubs playing with aces up their sleeves or with loaded alec.
