BY LEON KAY

tUnlCe0 fTeSS Stan OOTEcSpOIAuclt
 London, May 18.-(UP)-zionist! announced three-point plan of or ganized resistance today to British government plans to make Pales' tine an Arab-dominated state.
 The plan provides:
 1. Non- cooperation with the Brit. ish plan. Jews would refuse to serve on governing bodies in which they would be outnumbered by Arabs.
 2. A political campaign designed to influence the British government to change its plan. First there would be a debate in the house o1 commons here. Then Jews would fight the plan before the League o1 Nations mandate commission ane try to raise the issue in the interna- tional court at the Hague. .
 3. Intensification of constructive work in Palestine to emphasize Jew ish rights there.
 Zionist Head Backs It
 Moshe Shertok, head of the Zion ist political department, said of tht plan:
 "A situation will develop in whict the policy adopted by the British government will find itself against a force operating in the economic sphere and a clash will be caused between artificial administrative ar- engagements and the forces of devel- opment.
 This is not a threat to the Brit ish government. It means that re- striction of Jewish immigration will cause @ shortage of labor. Jews dc not go to Palestine to employ Arat labor. Jews in Palestine, now near ing the 500,000 mark, command g considerable measure of economic weight. That community was moi created in order to be placed under Arab domination.
 "Jews are quite willing to share Palestine with the Arabs and cooper ate in government on an equality status. But it is too much to expect of human nature to ask that they submit to a position of second rate citizenship.
 Up Against Pressure
 '"The government will find itself up against pressure if it tries tc dam the historical process of Jew ish immigration. The government can not expect us to help enforce the immigration law"
 This was taken to mean that Jews might not assist in suppressing ille- gal Jewish immigration.
 A British spokesman defended the government plan as an honest effort to do justice to claims of Jews and Arabs alike.
 Under the plan. an independent Palestine is envisaged, united to Great Britain by treaty.
 The state would be set up 10 years after the restoration of order ir Palestine.
 For the first five years Jewish inn migration would be increased to a yearly average of 15,000, provided that the country's economic absorp- tive capacity permitted. Thereafter

there would be no Jewish immigra- ton without Arab consent.
 The permanent proportion of Arabs to Jews in the state would be decided in the future.
 The Palestine high commissioner would be empowered to regulate and if necessary forbid transfers of land, starting at once.
 For an unspecified time, Britain as the mandatory power would con- tinue its administration.
 "As soon as peace and order have been sufficiently restored in Pales- tine," the official white paper" an- nouncing the plan said, "steps will be taken to carry out the policy of giving the people of Palestine an increasing part in the government of the country, with the objective of placing Palestinians in charge of all departments of the government with the assistance of British advis- CTS and subject to the control of the high commissioner"
 Arabs and Jews would be invited to serve as heads of departments in about the proportion of their respec- tive populations. Britain proposes to carry out this process whether or not both Arabs and Jews avail them selves of the offer.
 Five years after the restoration of order an appropriate body represen- tative of the people and of the Brit ish government would be established to consider a constitution.
 Under the British plan, 8 British high commissioner would be given semi-dictatorial powers.
 Denounces British
 Boston, May 18-UP)-Elihu Stone, member of the administrative committee of the world Jewish agency for Palestine and honorary president of the New England Zionist region, today denounced the British decision to restrict Jewish emigration to Palestine as a cruel betrayal of sacred trust"
 However, the situation is not hopeless" he said. "Tte Jews of Palestine can give good account of themselves, and the Jews of the world are united as they have never been before in history. We are deter mined that the Jewish National Home shall not be made another Czechoslovakia."
 Governor Leverett Saltonstall and other Christians and Jews have agreed to address a mass meeting called by New England Zionists for Sunday at 2 p. m. in Faneuil Hall.
 The Greater Boston Council of Rabies has joined other groups in setting aside Monday as day of prayer for the Jews.
 Although the pages of the history of our people are stained with blood. the present situation is by far the most critical" the council said in proclaiming the day of prayer.

DOLLAR
 HOME \ FEATURE OF WORLDS FAIR.
Lcw-Cost Dwelling Built ;, For Family of Small < Growing Income

Washington, D. O., May 18. - The ~dollar-a.day house" is the lumber industry's contribution to the Town of Tomorrow at the New York Worlds Fair.
 Unveiled May 13 along with other smart new homes in this section of the Empire State exposition, this innovation in low cost housing is the No. 6 house in the fair exhibit. It is sponsored by the National Small Homes Demonstration, joint u1l- dertakjng of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.
 Economies Effected
 The home is 8 typical example of application of economies in design and construction methods to achieve the objective of providing modern, 1ivable and well builtr homes for families of modest income. It cli- r1axes months of study on the part of housing experts identified with National Small Homes Demonstra- ton, and represents a combination of the ost-saving methods devel- oped in creating two basic low-cost home designs for the national pro- motion program.
 Purchasable, according to its spon- sors, for 8 dollar day or less, the home thus becomes available to hungry Americans in the low income brackets on terms that total less than most are now paying for rented shelter.
 Charming in design and sturdy of construction, the "dollar-a-day house" is built almost entirely of lumber. It is of the semi-bungalow type, and contains two bedrooms and bath on the first floor, with provision for two additional bed- chambers on the second floor, as increase in family requirements neceSsitate it.
 Walls Paneled
 Incorporated are numerous econ- omy features, including dry-built construction, utilization of stand ard-cut lumber lengths, etc. A pleasing effect is obtained through use of wood paneling throughout. A newly developed system of plank floor" construction, by which the underneath of a second floor be- comes the beamed ceiling of the first floor, also is incorporated as another cost-saving expedient.
 Attractively furnished by lead- ing New York department store, the lumber house will remain on display throughout the duration of the fair, where it will be viewed by millions of modest wage earners, to fit whose budgets it was expressly created.
