Arabs and Jews
Accept Truce
PALESTINE, —(/P)—Arab states
accepted unconditionally today the
United Nations’ armistice propos
al >for Palestine, the foreign min
ister of Trans-Jordan said.
Lake Success — Authoritative
Jewish sources said Israel had
also accepted unconditionally the
United States’ cease fire order.
The formal Jewish reply was
expected momentarily from Tel
Aviv, which Arab planes bombed
heavily during the morning. Pres
ident Weizmann of Israel said in
Paris, “We are, in general, dis
posed to accept the truce.”
(An NBC broadcast from Tel
Aviv said Israel accepted the truce
unconditionally. It said foreign
mfhister Mashe Shertok announced
this in a 1,000 word communique.)
The truce is to start at 7:00
p.m. Thursday (Nome time).
The formal Arab reply was
handed to the U.N. mediator at
Cairo during the morning. It was
kept secret.
Weizmann said Israel would ac
cept no solution “absorbing part
of its sovereignty,” but added:
“We are ready to establish an
economic union between New
Israel and the rest of Palestine.
That can be a beginning.”
Heavy casualties were believed
to have resulted from the Tel
Aviv bombing. Explosives were
scattered around the Jewish city
rather than concentrated on a sin
gle target. Egypitan planes bom
bed the Tel Aviv waterfront dur
ing the night. They claimed to have
sunk a number of boats and at
tacked a cargo vessel.
Peace talks may take place at
Istanbul or on the island of
Rhodes.
if President Truman acts under ■
the Taft-Hartley labor law to force i
an 80-day postponement of any
general maritime walkout the un
ion contends it would not apply
to Alaska shipping. He said the
union bases its stand upon the
existence ot competing barge line
service to Alaska.
He said barges will prevent Al
aska from being a “hardship” area.
The employers have not made
any statement in connection with
the Alaska strike threat, how
ever, the Post-Intelligencer said
today, that, should President Tru
man block any immediate mari
time strike, the operators are ex
pected to try to get the injunction
extended to the Alaska dispute.

25,000 Aliens To Be
Enlisted, U.S.Army
WASHINGTON, — (/P) —Sena
tor Lodge (R-Mass) today cut to
25,000 the number of aliens he
proposes the United States should
enlist in its armed forces.
Lodge is trying to amend the
two-year draft bill to permit re
cruiting of anti-Communist Poles,
Czechs and others who have fled
Russia's “Iron Curtain.” Each man
so enlisted would mean one Ameri
can who would not have to be
drafted.
Lodge proposes that they be
used in Alaska, the Far East and
the Caribbean. .They would not
be face to face with Russians there.
As briginally introduced, Lod
ge’s amendment proposed enlist
ment of 50,000 aliens. He cut the
number to 25,000 at the suggestion
of Senator Tydings (D-Md).
