Reports from Sy ria told of Arab tanks and troops closing in on the Holy Land. The Jewish state will be pro- claimed early tomorrow night, ef- fective after the British mandate ends at midnight. The Arab lea- gue is preparing an Arab civil ad- ministration—not a state—to take | over in* Palestine with cooperation of occupying Arab troops.

He said the fun- damentals have not been touched. He also told a news conference he is opposed to outlawing the Communist party in this country, because he believes this would be entirely contrary to our principles. The President, responding to questions on the United States-| Russian exchange, sald Secretary of State Marshall had stated this i o " country’s position clearly yester- e g day and he "of course supportedf THE NATION'S RAILROADS OPERATED NORMALLY MAY 11 following eleventh hour Railroads Operafing Normally I cancellation Marshall's statement. i Marshall ruled out any confer- ence with Russia on general world issues in which other countries are of the threatened strike which came within minute of President Truman's order to seize them and an injunction issued prohibiting a nationwide walkout cf trainmen until May 16, pending hearing of an ex- tension of the restraining order.
