Churchill Says
Givt* Palestine To
The United Nations
LONDON, (/P)—Winston Chur
chill urged the British government
today to surrender its Palestine
mandate to the United Nations un
less the United States joins Britain
*<>n a fifty-fifty basis” in a new
p licy for the Holy Land.
Almost simultaneously, the Pal
estine government ordered the
evacuation of British women and
children to the United Kingdom,
a decision apparently foresha
dowing new action against terror
ism in the mandate.
Churchill, speaking in the House
ol Commons bedate, declared:
“We have broken our pledges to
the Jews. Having found ourselves
incapable of carrying out our
promises, we have no right to say
that we have to stay there for mo
tives of honor.
“If there is no call to honor,
then the responsibility of stopping
civil war in Palestine between Jew
and Arab ought to be borne by
the United Nations and not by this
poor, over-burdened and heavily
.ii.iured country.”

AFL Gives Pay Hiks
To Organizers
MIAMI, Fla. </P> — The AFL
turned “employer” today, giving
$20 weekly pay increases to 200
union organizers.
Among the union promoters af
fected are organizers in Alaska,
said AFL President William
Green.
Green said the pay of organizers
had been boosted from an average
range of $60-$80 to a range of
$80-$100.
The AFL president did not de
tail the organization program in
Alaska but admitted to a news
conference that the labor organ
ization was putting pressure to
bring workers in the building con
struction and fishing and canning
industries into the AFL.
Green disclosed to newsmen
that the AFL council was sympa
i thetic” to overtures from the Brit
1 ish-dominated international trans
port workers federation for affili
! ation of U. S. railroaders, truck
drivers and streetcar employees.
Approximately 2,000,000 Ameri
can workers would be involved in
the proposed affiliation of the AFL
teamsters, railroad brotherhoods
and street car employees, Green
said. Each union has to act on the
invitation directly, Grene declar
ed, and the council could only lend
its policy support to the request
that the U. S. workers join the in
ternational transport group—big
gest single labor organization in
the world, which British Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin once head
ed.
Speaking of fairness, why isn’t
it right to give a doctor a rubber
check for a bouncing baby?
