MARINES Babies Leunge IstoBe MAY BE SENT TO PALESTINE State Depafifil—em Makes Report on Informal Dis- cussions Made WASRINGTON, Jan. 9.—P— The State Department said today U. S. officials have discussed in- formaliy with the Palestine gov- ernment “the possibility” of send- ing Marines to guard the consulate at Jerusalem, but that no decisions have been reached. In a formal statement, the De- partment said: “This government has never ask- ed permission from either the Palestine government or the British government to send Marines to from London probabl from the fact that the con- general in Jerusalem has arise sulate discussed informally with the Pal- estine government the necessity for taking measures to increase the security of the consulate general personnel and property.” “During the informal discussions with the Palestine government the question of the necessity of send- ing American guards arose. No de- cisicns were reached and have not been reached “It will be recalled in this con- necticn that the consulate general Jerusaleng was recently bomb- ed. Press Officer Lincoln White told reporters that the “guards” refer- red to in the statement included Marines. He added, however, that Marines would not necessarily be required, noting that some diplo- matic establishments abroad em- ploy civilian guards. LONDON, Jan. 9. Highly qualified informants in Whitehall said the United States has asked and received approval from the Palestine government to dispatch U. S. Marines to the Holy Land as a guard for the U. S. consulate there. One sourse said he did not know how many Marines might be sent, nor when they would arrive. A contingent of Marines left North Carclina this week with the an- nounced assignment ol joining the U. S. fleet units in the Mediter- ranean (The Palestine government oper- ates under British mandate, and the dispatch of Marines presum- ably would have British approval.

The Washington Merry - Go- Round By DREW PEARSON GORIZIA (By Wireless) Diary of an American newspaper- of Alaska Juneau mine ! Fitted UE? ASKS INTERM AGREEMENT 10 BE CANCELLED |Attorney General Rivers Charges Steamship Com- - panies with Inefficiency ! A petition was filed this week | with the U. S. Maritime Com- | mission in Washington, D. C., by | Territorial Attorney General Ralph J. Rivers asking for cancellation of the emergency interim agree- ment between the Maritime Com- | mission and three Alaskan steam- ship operators. Rivers charged that “the steam- hip companies have failed to | conduct cperations as to provide | the most economical service con- | sistent with efficiency, and the | needs of the Territory as required | by the contract.” He said: “The rates under which | | the carriers operate are not in ac-| cordance with the needs of the| | Territory; the service has been| | wasteful in respect of overlapping { routes for which there is no econ- omic need; the carriers have ! | wastefully scheduled voyages by | | ‘bunching sailings,” and have caus- | l'ed undue delays i Alaskan ports.” | Theé Attorney General also de- | clared that “the carriers have sail- | led government vessels uneconomi- | ! cally loaded; cargo has been im- properly stowed so that tonnage must be unnecessarily shifted inj | order to discharge shipment at| | the proper destination ports; lh€1 ,carriers have failed to cause the juse of ordinary mechanical de- vices for the loading and unload- | ing of cargo at the various ports; | the overhead of the Northland Tiansportation Company, in the| neighborhood of 20 percent of the +gross revenue, a most unusual pro- ! portion, is a sign oi ‘milking’.” Rivers argued that “drastic mea- | sures are necessary for proper soluticn of this problem. New ar-| ! rangements should be made, we submit, before the Territory is| permanently saddled with the ex-| tortionate costs of uneconomical cperaticns by uncontrolled carriers ! lacking sufficient initiative to change their backward methods of operation.” BT s QLSRN THREE ACCUSED ARE ARRAIGNED IN COURT HERE George Freel, indicted by the Grand Jury on three charges, was arraigned before Judge George W. | Fclta this morning. Appearing with his attorney, Norman C. Ban- field, Freel pleaded not guilty to | all three charges.
