PALESTINE MAY
 BECOME MERGED
Join With TransjOrdania as Solution to Jewish,
 Arab Trouble

London, July l-(UP)-- A new administrative setup merging Pa iessino and Transjordania under the rule of Icmlr Abdullah of Transjor- dan, was proposed today as Q solu- tlna of the Arab.JewiSh clashes which have kept Palestine In tur- nOil for two months.
 (1ffacials studied the suggestion as well as a speech delivered last night by Rabbi stephen s. Wise of New York.
 Speaking at c mass meeting at tlse shoreditch town hall pr, Wise reviewed the Palestine situation and said:
 "Thc British and Palestine gov- arnments should give this answer to the Arabs:
 Jews To Increase
 ssThere will be for the next five or 10 years an increase in Jewish irsyaigration into Palestine, not be- cause we would be vtndictive or be- cause VIC dream of domination but because of the tragedy of Jewish need, We are not invaders and we are not exploiters,"
 Palestine Arabs have plunged the country into Guerilla warfare in protest against Jewish immigration,
 The Jerusalem correspondent Of the London Daily Herald reported that under the proposed Palestine Transjordania federation scheme being considered in official circles eight autonomous districts would be established, four for Jews and four for Arabs.
 Jews would have the right to ac- atiire land and to settle in Arab dis- tricts but an Arab administration would be maintained. The Emif Abduilah, who rules Transjordania under British mandate, was re- ported as favoring the plan.

BALTIMORE. Md, April 11.-Club

wood. where the current teams of
Johns Hopkins and st. Johns we're
subjected to ample drubbings.
The scores were: Baltimore A. c.,
8: Johns Hopkins, 4. Mt, Washington,
IA; St. Johns. 4.
Neither game was close or exciting
contest. In each the clubmen estab-
lished an early lead and set the pace
the remainder of the contest. Some
1900 fans braved raw, threatening
day to watch the fun.
Baltimore Athletic Club showed en-
tirely too much defense for the Blue
Jay attack.
In the second encounter the story
was different, though the result was
the same. ST. Johns strength lies in
its attack. but the set of goal shooters
wearing The Orange and Black never
was equal to the burden of matching
the efforts of Lorne Guild, Jack Turn
bull and the rest of murderer's row.
