Heavy Snow
Covers Moscow
I
MOSCOW, (1P) — Moscow was
experiencing today what promised
to be its worst snow storm in five
years. Snow has fallen almost
without interruption for two days,
despite an abrupt rise in the tem
perature this morning.
Hundreds of special workers
used snowplows to clear the city’s
jroad streets. City traffic contin
ued, despite large snowdrifts, al
though buses had difficulty in
maintaining schedules.
Reports of heavy snows from
other parts of the country encour
ages farmers, whose winter wheat
needs covering. The snow also will
furnish moisture for other winter
and spring crops.
NOT ALWAYS PAVED
Grass literally grew in the
=*rpets of New York and Philadel
phia during the early 1800’s, ac
cording to the Encyclopaedia Bri
tannica, when most of the people
were driven out by yellow fever
and cholera epidemics which al-,
most wiped out several other
American cities. .

British Plan
Jewish Province
In Palestine
(By Arthur Gavson)
LONDON, (>P) — Informed
sources said today the British cab
inet was considering a compro
mise Palestine formula which
would allow 100,000 Jews from
European displaced persons camps
to ent%r immediately a semi-au
tonomous Jewish province in the
Holy Land.
This plan was atrributed to for
eign secretary Ernest Bevin and
Colonial Secretary Arthur Creech
Jones.
There was no immediate indica
tion from 10 Downing Street whe
ther the cabinet had accepted it.
President Truman told Jewish
leaders in Washington last July
the U. S. government was willing
to assume technical and financial
responsibility for the transporta
tion of 100,000 immigrants from
Europe to Palestine.
A foreign office spokesman said
today no British approaches had
been made to the state department
on a Palestine settlement.
Government sources said after
the cabinet meeting it was almost
certain the new British proposals
for Palestine would be conveyed
to Arab and Jewish leaders in
London over the weekend. They
added it was likely that Arab dele
gates to the official Palestine con
ference would meet Bevin and
Creech Jones once again Monday,
and, because of their “uncompro
mising opposition” to further Jew
ish immigration, the talks prob
ably would dissolve immediately.
Man may disappear from the
earth in another million years, as
some scientists say, but our na
tional debt will remain.
