COMNETON STRKE STATN QUET Non-Unionists Make No New Effort to Enter Plant After Fight. 8y the Associated Press. COVINGTON, Va., July 8.—Pickets | wnd strike sympathizers stood at the | gates of the Industrial Rayon Corp.’s plant here early today with the | avowed intention of blocking any ef- | fort to reopen it, but there was no renewal of yesterday'seeffort by non- | union workers to enter. | ‘Two automobiles were overturned and fist fights occurred yesterday when a group of emploves attempted | to go into the mill, which has been | closed since March 29 by a strike supported by the Textile Workers' Organizing Committee. Pickets temporarily halted an as- sistant foreman and a plant laboratory worker today, as State Motor Vehicle Director John Q. Rhodes, jr. and | State Police Supt. H. B. Nicholas | watched from an automobile in the picket line. Later, they were allowed to go in with about 75 officials, fore- men and clerical workers. Rhodes and Nicholas were there at the order of Gov. Peery, who, in com- menting on the fighting, said: “This sort of thing has got to stop. Any man who wishes to return to work certainly has the right and privilege to do so.” Robert Gaffney, subregional direc- tor of the T. W. 0. C, a C. I. O. affiliate, who is directing the strike said he did not know what would be the procedure if the company re- newed any attempt to reopen the mill before negotiating for a contract. | o -— Airport (Continued From First Page.) Bureau of Air Commerce, but will not be put into effect before next Fall. Washington Airport, it is said, would fall short of the requirements for a terminal rating. The pilots notified the burcau that they are “seriously considerin: fusing to operate at Washington Airport under any considerations.” | They added that unless Washington Airport is designated a two-way field, available only for emerzency opera- tions, “they can no longer assume re- sponsibility for landing and taking off at this field.” “All the pilots on Easte: i S and American Airlines fiving Douglas DC-3's and DC-2's have requested the Bureau of Air Commerce t take the necessary steps to cause Washington Airport to be rated as a two-way ficld for this type of equipmer Behncke said in his letter. The DC-3 is the latest type of 21- passenger airliner developed for Amer- ican air transport use and the DC-2 is a similar 14-passenger type. Botl are high-speed airplanes and the pilots consider their use at Washington Air- port highly dangerous when the wind is across the long runwa: The pilots, Behncke d, will use either the new Bolling Field or the Municipal Airport at Baltimore, ex- cept when winds are blowing along the length of the 4,200-foot runway at Washington Airport. Commission Meets Today. ‘The ultimatum of the pilots was delivered coincidentally with today’s meeting of the Washington Airport Commission to plan a report to Con- gress to recommend a site for a model air transport terminal for Washing- ton Senator King said todas had not been advised of the action of the airline pilots, but promised that “all phases of the airport problem will be considered.” ‘Washington Airport has boen con- demned by airline pilots and execu- tives ever since airliners of modern, high-speed types began to come into use. Repeatedly they have testified before congressional ,committees over sentative of the National Airline Pilots’ Association, said the action of the Eastern Air and American pilots oper- ating here was unanimous in con- demning the fleld and refusing to operate here exoept under favorable conditions. There now are 66 take-offs and landings each day at Washington Air- port by Douglas DC-2 and 3 airliners. Fifty of these operations are con- ducted by Eastern Air Lines, which uses the big ships in its hourly service between Washington and New York and on the lines to Miami, New Or- leans and Texas. The other 16 are used by American Airlines in its serv- ice to Chicago and on the Southern transcontinental to Los Angeles. All of these landings and take-offs are dangerous except when the wind is holding within a few degrees of the axis of the main 4,200-foot run- way, according to the pilots’ associa- tion. The condition is aggravated in hot weather, when the air is lighter and distances required for take-offs and landings increase, it was ex- plained. 3,300-Foot Runway Too Short. ‘The axis of the main runway points abcut 10 degrees west of north. There is & 3300-foot runway, pointing a little north of West, but the pilots hold that this is too short for safety except with a fairly strong wind along its length. As a result of these conditions pilots frequently refuse to land at Washington Airport, continuing on to the next scheduled stop. Eastern Air cofficials said Washington Airport is “passed up” by pilots on an average of three or four times every week be- cause, in their judgment, an attempt | to land would be prohibitively danger- ous. The situation at the airport is com- plicated by obstructions near the boundaries of the field, such as fac- tories, elevated railroad embankments and hills to the west. Motor failure or any serious loss of power during a take-off except along the nerth and south axis would be almost certain to | result in a forced landing in very bad terrain. HOUSE BODY REPORTS TAXI INSURANCE BILL A bill requiring taxicabs and other public vehicles in Washington to carry liability insurance was placed on the House calendar today and will be con- sidered Monday, the next District day. The bill was favorably reported by the District Committee yesterday on ecommendation of Representative Nichols, Democrat, of Oklahoma, who served as chairman of a special sub- committee which held three hearings on the measure Estimates given the subcommittee indicated the insurance would cost the taxi operators from $20 to $30 a month per cab. Suggestions have been made that existing rates be in- creased 5 conts a zone to aid the taxi to finance the policies «++ AND LIGHT You can use Norwegian Sar- dines for so many dainty, appetizing, nourishing dishes.

By the Assoclated Press. JERUSALEM, July 8.—Bitter op- position among the rank and file of both Jews and Arabs toward Britain's proposed “surgical operation” on Pal- estine was considered by some British circles today as the forerunner of a possible united front of Jews and Arabs. The British Royal Commission pro- posed last night that the Holy Land be divided between sovereign Jewish and Arabian states, with a new Brit- ish mandate over the holy cities of Jerusalem, Nazareth and Bethlehem. Both Arab and Jewish masses were astounded today at the radical solu- tion offered by the British govern- ment for their problems—although many were not yet able to grasp fully what was proposed. It was sugested the age-old rivals might embark on an independent attempt to work out their problems around the council table. EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON of the Zionist ambitions, they seemed unable to understand the commis- sion’s insistence on a wholesale slicing that would leave Jews only one-third the present area of the country. They considered the cutting off from their territory of the potash works of the Dead Sea and the elec- tric power works on the River Jordan & serious blow, and were not likely to move in their stand that these be given them, Most Arab reaction to the commit- tee's report was summarized in the words of Fuad Saba, secretary of the Arab Higher Committee: “This is too bad. There will be considerable disappointment.” The year-old royal commission it- self termed its program a ‘“surgical operation” based on what a British government statement termed “an irreconcilable conflict between the as- pirations of Arabs and Jews in Pales- tine.” “A scheme of partition on general lines recommended by the commis- sion represents the best and most hopeful solution of deadlock,” the gov- ernment said.

It was generally acknowledged that the commission's League of Nations approval—was something sensational and hitherto unheard in the history of the strife- torn country. While a strong under- current of opposition formed, none of the disorders which had been feared had been reported. “The end of & great dream and a great expriment”—that was how some | Jews sadly described the turning point in the course plotted by the war-time promise of Lord Balfour and a League plan—subject to | of Nations mandate toward establish- | ment of a Jewish homeland.

The scheme would create a Jewish state resembling roughly a hatchet. The Arab-Jewish frontier would fol- low the existing northern and eastern frontier across Lake Tiberjas (the Sea of Galilee) to the outflow of the River Jordan, thence west toward the sea to the maritime plain and south- ward to the Jerusalem-Jaffa corri- dor near Lydda, south of the corridor down the edge of the plain to a point about 10 miles south of Re- hovot, thence west to the sea.
