43 ARAB LEADERS CALLED TOPARLEY Moslem Chieftains to Meet in Private Session to Air Re- . sentment at Britain. By the Associated Press. JERUSALEM, 8eptember ¢.—The correspondent of the Jewish Tele- graphie Ageney reportcd today that British troops were engaged in a flerce fight last night near Gaza with a Bedouin tribe. Several of the Bedouins were killed or wounded. By the Associated Press, JERUSALEM, September 4—Forty- eight Arab leaders from all parts of Palestine, comprising the Palestine Arab executive, have been summoned to meet in extraordinary private session in Jerusalem tomorrow to consider re- cent developments in the Holy Land. Publicity regarding the meeting was suppressed, but in some quarters it was felt it would afford opportunity for open airing by indignant Moslem chief- tains of the resentment aroused in them by certain recent events. Britain to Launch Probe. News of the impending meeting emerged shortly after it was learned here the British government had ore dered a special Palestine commission, headed by Sir Walter 8haw, former chief justice of the Straits Settlements, te make an inquiry into Arab-Jewish clashes, beginning its task this month. The decision of the British govern- ment not to permij the scope of its Palestine inquiry to extend to any question altering the Balfour declar: tion—that which fixed British poliey establishing in Palestine s national home for Jews—was hailed with joy by the Jews, but was resented openly by Arabs, It was believed this would be one of the problems considered by the Arab! executive, members of which have from time to time voiced their opposition to the Balfour declaration d_ have blamed the Moslem-Semitic clashes on Arab feeling against it. Arabs Spub British Leaders. Members of the executive have re- mained aloof from the British repre- sentation in Palestine, no leader or member having yet called upon Sir John Chancellor, the high commis- sioner, since his return. 8ir John's proclamation, issued Sunday, in discuss- ing el es of the last 10 days, was felt by the Arabs to be decidedly pro- Jewish and anti-Arab. The Arab executive made public & vigor- ous reply to this proclamation, ulleging that the Palestine government had caused trouble by arming Jews, denying that there had been mutilations among the Jewish ecasualties at Hebron, asserting that ,Jewish mobs had killed isolated Arsb’ women and children, and that even British troops had shot Arabs at Sour Baher and elsewhere. The Arab pronouncement stated that troubles in Palestine, past and present. had been caused by the British Zionist policy which aimed at “annibilating the Arab nation in ils own country in favor of reviving a non-existent nation.”, Arabs Demand Impartial Inquiry. The Arabs demanded an 1ll|plnhl[ inquiry by “outsiders whose sense of justice was mot eurbed by Zlonist in- fluence.” In conclusion the pronounce- ment demanded abolition of the Ba! four declaration, suspension of Jewish immigration and ennlm:hmenz of a riiamentary government.

PEACOCK TAKES LEAD IN JUNIOR TOURNEY Indian Spring Golfer Turns in 75 for Course in Medal Play Battle. Roger Peacock, youthful Indian Spring star, took the lead today in the | first round of the District junior golf champlonship with a score of 75, six over par for the course of the Town and Country Club, where the championship is in progress.

Wgen the President’s interest in these neglected mountain folk was revealed, and when he agreed to head what he saw fit to refer to as & national col mittee to raise the school funds, it thought he would make a general ap- peal, but it is known now that the President proposes to supply the money himself or possibly nmot go begyond a small circle of intimate friends. In making this known today, asso- ciates of the President said that the raising of the small amount necessary for this purpose is the reason for the President’s concern in his desire to as- sist the people in the mountains.

Both indicated they lelt that Sinclalr was getting an “unlucky b and that would havejust cause to claim he was being treates unfairly, Assuming “full responsibility” for es tablishment of the wharf clinic, Supt. Barnard declared today the assignment of Sinclair to accompany Dr. Hyman on his trips to the river was “with my kncawledge and with my consent.’ “I saw nolhlngulrrquln "’"“"f wrong in it at the time, apd I still feel that way sbout it,” Mr., Barnard said. “Dr, Hyman must have some one to assist him at the wharf, and Mr. Sinclair was the logical man to do it. If some one other than Mr. Sinclair | had happened to be Dr. Hyman's assist- l,dno question would have been 'he Board of Public Welfare felt, | however, that the publicity given Sin- clair's assignment made it unwise to continue him in that capacity. It is very unfortunate that this should hap- | pen, for some people will regard the poard's order as an act of discrimin- ation against Mr. Sinclair.” Mr, Bernard pointed out that the clinic at the wharf was established | upon his recommendation about two | months ago, a few days after the Health | | Department had criticised sanitary con- | ditions in the prisoners’ living "quar- ters at the docks. Prisoners Were Considered, “During the in~:':, into conditions some questi~ - raised about medi- cal atteni’ 1 .or the prisoners, and I told of ine difficulty of sending a | physician there from Occoquan more | lhlldn once a week or $0,” Mr. Bernard | said. | “While the Health Department made ! no specific recommendation that a| clinic be set up at the wharf, I de-! | cided then and there to seek means of | affording the prisoners better medical | | attention. It was as a direct result of | the Health Department investigation | that I suggested to Maj. Peak the! establishment of a branch clinic of the jail at the wharf, in charge of Dr. Hyman. “Later, when Dr. Hyman said he would need an assistant, Maj. Peak advised me that he planned to Mr. Sinclair accompany the doctor for that purpose, and I approved of it as 1 would approve any routine matter.” Mr. Barnard and Maj. Peak ex- plained they saw no reason for taking the proposed assignment up with the Board of Public Welfare, because they | consider it “purely routine and regu- ar.” “I have been proud of the confidence shown me by the board In giving me a free hand here at the jall.” Maj.

Mr. Wi'son was already said, and a meeting of the committee of the board on penal institutions had been summoned. Mr. Taliaferro sald that therefore he felt the situation was in good hands, and has no further part in the decision, but that he entirely approved the decision reached. Mr. Tallaferro sald that as to reports that he had directed the board to take the course it did, he had no desire either to affirm or deny it.

Maj. L. E. At- kins was acting Engineer Commissioner, but Mr. Taliaferrq said that he did not consult him. Mr. Wilson said that the committee had inquired very closely to discover whether Mr. Sinclair had been allowed to go elsewhere than to the wharf, and that it was satisfied that he had not. ‘There was one rumor current that Sin- clair had gone to a downtown estab- lishment for a bath.

The Repub- licans have been anxious to avoid any semblance of a row at this time, and the fact that there were other aspirants for ‘he office of woman vige chairman and likelihood of a contest, led them to bring as much pressure to bear as pos- class D, James Murray, | sible to have Mrs. Hert continue in her | present place. The two women who have resigned from the Republican national commit- tee and whose places are e: to be filled are Mrs. Charles H. Sabin of New York, and Mrs, Qvis of Vermont. Mrs. Sabin has taken a strong stand against the prohibition amendment and has determined to give her time and energy to fighting it.

Al ces here of numerous District f‘u EXPERTS SOUGHT FOR TRAFFIC HERE Senator Hastings Urges Sur- vey Throughout City for Board’s Guidance, Employment of one or more experts to make a thorough study of trafie conditions ir. Washington was suggested today by Senator Hastings, Republican, ot l;oll'-n, chairman ol’thzu u‘:.mc subcommittee cf the Senate District committee, upon his return to the city. Senator Hastings, who was requested by Chairman Capper last June to take up the parking problem, said he would | eall the subcommittee together early next week and invite Traffic Director Harland to also be present. To Take in All Needs. The proposed study of traffic condi- tions originated with Senator Kean, Re- publican, of New Jersey, one of the new members of the Senate District committee. Although Senator Kean re- ferred primarily to the problem of long- time parking on the streets, Senator Hastings said today that it was his idea that if experts should be engaged to assist the committee they should in- quire also into any phase of traffic con~ trol that may seem to need impreve- ment. This would be broad enough to cover the question of methods of turn- ing traffic. Senator Hastings believed the prob- lems could be approached more effi- elently by his subcommittee if surveys are first made by experts, rather than to begin at once holding public hear- ings without a definite plan before the * Gemator Hasti enator Hastings said it may be that ‘Traffie Director Harland llrzld_v has sufficient information on the parking and other problems to cover the needs of the Senate committee, but if not the Delaware Senator favors obtaining a sufficient appropriation to have a *| complete survey made that weuld in- clude inspection of other cities to find out how they handle parking and othe; important traffic matters. ] Aute Parking Held Problem. Although he is not attempting to £ay in advance what the subcommittee finally will do, Senator Hastings said today he had very serious doubt whether it would be possible to abolish parking on the streets. The Senator pointed out that a large percentage of ibe automobiles on the streets are owned by families with limited in- comes, to whom the cost of garage sglc' would prove a hardship. He said these residents would have to be given consideration in studying the problem of long-time parking en the streets. Senator Hastings believes the views of the public should be heard fully by the subcommittee, but he thinks this could be done better after experts have made concrete recommendations. If the Ppublie generally should rise up in oppo- | 8ition to some particular phase of the experts’ report, the Senator pointed out, the subcomrrittee could alter or modify the report. On the other hand, he said, the hearings might develop new sugges- tions not touched upon in the findings of the experts.
