The city is less than 20 miles northeast of Jerusalem. It is equi- distant from Amman, the Trans- Jorden capital whence Abdullah has vowed to ride into Palestine this week at the heads of regular armies of his country, Syria and Lebanon. Jews in Haifa said the Arab Le- gion had shelled a Jewish settlement near Naharaim on the Trans-Jor- dan torder, killing 10 Jews. The Jewish Militia, Haganah, was said to have occupied border fortresses at Samakh and Jisr el Majamie, abandoned by the withdrawing Bri- tish. Irgun Zvai Leumi, Jewish under- groimd organization, claimed the capture of all the Mansheih quar-! ter of Arab Jaffa, which adjoins Tel SKA EMPIRE MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS Aviv. Haganah and Irgun Lroopsicnrrler and, by Federal law, may| fought side by side in an intensify- ing battle for the port city. Top American officials are grave- 1y disturbed lest an invasion of Pal- estine' by outside Arab armies touch off Werld War III. The United Nations still talked of means to block war in the Holy Land. An act! of aggression, snch.as invasion, will; test the UN's resources and prestige to the utmost. Despite the germs of another worldwide explosion;, Russian-li- censed newspapers in Berlin declsr-\nnd the longshoremen. ed: “There will be no war.” Then they proceeded to devote a large part of their space to attacks on the United States and other western powers. U. 8. authorities started investigating the new Na- tional Democrat Party in Germany, which they said had Nazi tendencies. The party scored heavily in com- munity elections. ANOTHER VERSION WASHINGTON, April 28—#— Secretary of State Marshall said to- day the United States has been as- sured by an Arab League spokes-| | man-that Arab armiec are not in-| vading Palestine. Marshall expressed hope news conference that efforts of the| United Nations to arrange a truce in Jewish-Arab €ighting in the Holy | Land will be successful. American ~ officials have been gravely disturbed over reports that Arab nations are prepared to send armies intq Palestine. ESKIMO SKIPPER PREFERS FRIGID NORTH TO STATES NANAIMO, B. C., April 28.—P— Charles Franz, Eskimo skipper of the motor trawler Dorothy, prefers his frozen home in Alaska to the modern comforts of cities. The first Eskimo captain to visit this port, Franz and his Eskimo crew of four were forced to call here to have their trawler engines repair- ed. The Dorothy is sailing from Se- attle, Wash., to Alaska to drag for Alaska king crabs. Capt. Franz received his education in the United States and graduated from high school at Bellingham, Wash. But despite his life of comfort in Belliagham and Seattle the soft- spoken skipper prefers the life of . his isolated community in the frigid north.

Despite his speeches about a war emergency, the President had gone |right ahead demobilizing the na- tion’s industrial power and allow- lowing war plants to be sold tool- by-tool on the auction block—until! finally, alert Ccngressman Lyndon Johnson of Texas pin-pricked him with a couple of stinging notes. At 1irst the President wouldn't listen to Johnson, would not even admit the error of selling war lants. However, the persistent Texan kept after him and, in the end, Truman ate his own words. After receiving Johnson's first| letter warning that war plants " mobilized, President blandly replied: “The matter . . . has been taken care of by the contracts under which these properties have been sold to private individuals. In case of emergency, they immediate- ly revert to the government.” This, however, was not the fact, and Johnson knew it. Anyone who had taken the slightest trouble tol check the facts would never have written such a letter. Moreover, the letter obviously was written by the President himself, for it included some purely personal ref- erences. the TEXAN REBUTS Congressman Johnson didn't ex- actly like to argue with the Com- mander-in-Chief, who is supposed to know all about defending the| nation. Nevertheless, he wrdte back to Truman, bluntly disputing his letter. “Plants have been and are now being sold without any provision for government recapture,” the Texas Congressman warned, “not- withstanding the fact that you have information that these properties immediately revert to the govern- ment.” _Johnson then listed nine categor- (Continued on Page Four) 1 l I | Amelia Gunderson, 959; and Ervin' H.

The date for .the. start of the walkout of 150,000 union members was made public in Cleveland while union spokesmen were preparing a !omm announcement of the date in Chicago. The strike would paralyze the country’s transportation system by ,pulling locomotive engineers, fire- ‘men and enginemen and switch- men off the jobs. Two years ago a strike cut off all rail service for two days, until President Tru- man _ intervened. What legal stéeus ht be taken to head off the crippling walk- out remained a question. The wage dispute between the unions and the nation’s class one rail-| roads has passed through all steps of machinery set up under Railroad workers not ask for an anti-strike injunc- tlon as it did recently against| John L. Lewls’ coal miners.
