Rome Workers
Give Ultimatum
To Government
(Continued From Page One
; general strike and labor turmoil
i it Rome.
The demands came from the
newly organized workers’ high
command for the capital and
Rome province, the existence of
which was announced in Satur
day’s leftist press along with its
demands. *
The organization's name was
given as the “Provisional Commit
tee of Congress of Management
and of internal commissions.” The
press announced that it would “di
rect the battle of Roman labor.”
The new-born committee’s first
act was to publish a bitter com
munique denouncing police action
in the slum suburb of Primavalle
Friday, when a worker was killed
in street fighting with police.
One workman died Friday of a
gun shot wound, several other
demonstrators were injured, 10
police were hurt, one lieutenant
seriously.
These developments for the first
time brought home to Rome on a
large scale the communist-inspired
strikes and violence which have
harassed the government since
lov. 12 when labor trouble started
in the big northern industrial cen
1 i* of Milan.
(In Washington Friday Robert
A- Lovett, undersecretary of state,

Of 59 men, most of them diary
farmers of the Amite, La., area,
who pleaded guilty to the same
charge earlier this week, only six
drew suspended sentences.
Other sentences ranged from
prison terms of four months to a

The strike was staged in protest
of prices paid for milk by New j
Orleans distributors. Milk trains
and trucks carrying milk to New
Orleans were halted by armed
strikers and the cargo was seized
and poured out.

Arabs Plan Course 1
To Oppose Pales
tine Partitioning
(By The Associated Press*
Arab Leaders converged on
Cairo today to decide how they
will oppose the partition of Pales-1
tine, already stained with the
blood of 88 persons killed in nine
t I
days of communal rioting over the;
United Nations decision. At least |
216 had been killed in the Middle
East.
The fiery battle of Tel Aviv
was renewed during the morning j
and five more Jews were killed. |
Seven Arabs and a Jew were
killed in other actions during the
night.
Bloodier even than Palestine!
was the little Arabian Sea colony
of Aden where British military
forces controlled the situation af
ter 124 persons had been killed, 79
of them Jews. Four other persons
died earlier in Syria.
The British informed the United |
Nations they would abandon their
mandate over Palestine May 15,'
making way for the Jewish state \
and its Arab counterpart. Great
Britain has controlled the strate
gically placed land since the old
Turkish empire crumbled in the
first world war 30 years ago.
There are nearly twice as many
Arabs as Jews in Palestine, but
the British have restricted immi
gration.
•When the swords speak, every
thing eise must be silent,” said the
exiled mufti of Palestine, Haj
Amin El Husseini. He made this
comment at Cairo where he met
with Arab leaders from Saudi
Arabia, Trans-Jordan, Iraq, Leb
anon, Syria, Egypt and Yemen.
Premier Riad Essolh Bey of
Lebanon said the Arab League’s
work would be “decisive and im
mediate,” adding:
“The Lebanese army now on the
Palestine borders will play its
part with other Arab armies in
saving Palestine when the proper
time comes.’’

Cause of Yakutat
Crash Remains
Undetermined
. — l-.„.
PORTLAND, (/P)—The cause of
the Yakutat, Alaska, air crash, fa
tal to 13 on Thanksgiving day, re
mained undetermined at the con
clusion of a preliminary hearing
conducted by three civil aeronau
tics board examiners Saturday.
An additional hearing was
scheduled, probably at Anchorage
in January to determine more on
weather conditions and to record
any evidence discovered by engi
neers who now are examining the
wreckage of the Columbia Air
Cargo DC-3.
Eight witnesses testified here,
mostly on qualifications and abil
ity of the two pilots. Both were
described as capable, trustworthy
fliers.
Of testimony here on weather
conditions, it was brought out the
ceiling was indefinite but around
500 feet with three miles visibility
and a light drizzle.
There was some question as to
whether the plane was following
the normal range course for the
landing at Yakutat or was making
a straight-in approach.
Richard J. Weirich, another Cor
lumbia Air Cargo pilot, said he
had never made a straight-in run
on instruments, but said such a
let-down should be safe since it
could be made over water all the
way.
The DC-3 crashed a mile beyond
what witnesses said was one leg
of the radio range it was presumed
to be following.
“Ike” Possible
Candidate For
Nomination
.
(Continued from Page One>
publicly announced entrants: Sen
ator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, for
mer Gov. Harold E. Stassen of
Minnesota and Gov. Earl Warren
of California.
Previously talk about Eisen
hower as a potential candidate has
been described as mostly just talk.
But an eastern Republican Sen
ator, who declined use of his
name, told a reporter the back
stage hunt for Eisenhower dele
gates is actually underway. As evi
dence of this, he said Republican
organization leaders in his state
have been sounded out by persons
who said they represent the Eisen
hower movement, if not the gen
eral himself.
Some who attended an informal
^meeting of Pennsylvania Republi
can leaders here last week at
which Ensenohwer was present
said they came away with the no
tion that the general was “talking
a whole lot like a candidate.”
Eisenhower is reported to have
said that the country needs “new
leadership’’ to unite the people be
hind the battle against rising liv
ing costs and in support of the
American position abroad.
Taft, also present, is said to have
responded that it is all very well
to generalize on issues but some
thing quite different to meet them
headon in Congress.
