Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts
A. P. News Analyst
Hot action and cold words in
Palestine and Egypt 'have greet
ed t'he latest American attempt
to foster a new settlement in
the Middle East.
Neither side has turned down
the Doilies proposal for reset
tlement of Arab refugees, fix
ing boundaries and establish
ing (guarantees. Yet the cold re
ception is obvious in unofficial
reaction.
The Dailies offer, however, is
neither more nor less than the
western powers agreed to do in
1948 when a United Nations
team stopped the Anaib-Isnaeli
war with a weaik truce.
The Arabs had already lost
the wtar. and the truce they
were forced to accept merely
fed their hatred of the Jews.
They vowed, and are still
vowing, to retake Palestine.
Toward' that end they have
kept ailive the problem of the
refugees, refusing to let them
be moved away from Israeli’s
boundaries and insisting that
they be allowed* to return to
thedr former holdings.
Israel, on the other hand,
has taken the position that the
Arabs started the war after the
United Nations partitioning de-.
cision, and that she is therefore'
entitled to keep extra territory I
not awarded her in that deci
sion, but occupied by her troops j
during the fighting.
'She has refused to accept in
ternationalization of Jerusalem
and hlas established her govern
ment in the “new” city while
leaving the Older portion to
Jordan.
As a result of the boundary
situation, people are being kill
ed intermittently in patrol
clashes and deliberate raids. j
The situation hlas now work- J
ed itself to the point where a
new outbreak of war is feared. j
Egypt, having reorganized t
her array since the ousting of
her king, believes she is aible
to resume the war on a more
equal footing, and has been con
stantly threatening to do so.
That is why the-Uni ted States
joined by Britain, has made the
offer to help finance refugee
resettlement and establish mil
itary guarantees.
The dispute! is inextricably
tied up with other Middle East*
ern problems, especially de
fense. Because of it, only Iraq
! among the Arab states has join
ed the Western system, while
Egypt attempts to lead an op>
position bloc.
In the meantime, hatred of
Israel is a regular course of
study in Arab schools, and no
thing seerris able to diminish it.
THREE JUVENILES PLACED
ON PROBATION
Three Mt. Edgecumibe stud
j ents, two girls and one boy, all
16 years of age, were in juven
ile court Monday afternoon on
charges of soliciting liquor.
Previously, two older per
sons had been tried and sen
tenced on dhahges of giving li
quor to minors.
The three were placed on
probation until they reach their
18th birthdays, and ordered to
report to the Rev. Murlin Day
who agreed to serve as parole
officer for the court. Also they
were ordered to attend the
church of their choice each
Sunday and report to Mr. Day
'as often as he required it, 'also,
being warned to obey his in
stitutions in every respect.
The trio were advised should
they get into similar or other
trouble with the law during
their period of probation, each
would be treated as second of
fenders; in whidh case the court
would probably refer them to
the Department of Public Wel
fare to be sent to a reform
school or similar institution.
