Jews in London Farley
Prepare Palestine Plan
nx thu Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 6-Jewish dele
gates to the British-Jewish- Arab
conference on Palestine were report
ed to be developing counter-pro-
posal for presentation tonight IN q
fresh attack on the British plan for
an independent Arab state in the
Holy Land.
They were expected to present the
counter-proposal to Colonial Secre-
tary Malcolm Macdonald at a meet
ing he arranged in an effort to avert
final collapse of the conference.
The British plan for Palestine
would end the League Of Nations
mandate which Britain holds over
the Holy Land and would set up an
independent Arab state, allied by
treaty with Britain. and with Jews
relegated to minority status.
Some of the Jews favored a plan
whereby their race would reach nu-
merical equality with the Arabs over
a 10-year period of heavy immigra-
tlon into Palestine, this to be fol-
lowed by the setting up of a bi-
national (Jewish- Arab state feder-
ated with 1raq, Egypt, Saudian Ara
bian Kingdom, Transjordan, Yemen
and possibly Syria.
There was little prospect the Arab
delegates would accept such a plan
because they are solidly opposed to
further Jewish immigration.
If the British-Jewish talks tonight
fail the Jewish delegates are ex-
pected to withdraw from the confer
ence, leaving a representative to
listen to anything further the Brit
ish government proposes.

peals here for a permit to construct
a new radio broadcasting station at
Hannibal, Mo-, to operate on a fire.
quency Of 1910 kilocycles with pow
er Of $50 watts daytime and 100 watts
night time.
The appellate tribunal reversed and
remanded the case to the Federal
Communications Commission. The
company had appealed from the
commissions decision, which had
denied its application for a permit
to build the station.
The court held that the appellant
has sustained the burden Of proof
that there is public need for a
local station in Hannibal and ruled
that the finding by the commission
that public convenience. interest and
necessity would not be served in
granting the permit for a local sta
ton is I'm law arbitrary and capri
cious." Attorney Eliot c. Lovett
represented the company.
The opinion was written by As
sociate Justice Fred M. Vinson, who,
with Chief Justice D. Lawrence

Texas Town Also
Finds q Way

WACO. Texas, is long way
" from Tacoma but with sim
liar problem. For long time
Wacoites had envied those for
tunate cities which were able to
enjoy the music o. q symphony
orchestra. After observing the
experience of other cities below
the quarter million population with
attempts to organize on strictly
professional basis. they hit upon
the logical plan Of using the ma
terisl AT hand. Then the Wacoites
discovered that there was enough
good talent 10 organize g ninety
piece orchestra.
The first concert was given re-
Gently before a happy audience Of
fifteen hundred. The result was
the organization Of q community
movement backed by the Chamber
of Commerce and the music de-
psrtment Of Baylor university.
Now Waco is assured OF series
of five symphony concerts for next
season. The town doesn't have
to wait until next fall to begin
preparations. The project Is be-
ing directed by q competent mu-
scion who has come 10 make his
home in Waco.

On Julliard
Music Staff
Erroneous Announcement By
Philharmonic Office Ex-
planned By Manager

TN a statement to The Times,
l. Ronald Russell. whose title on
the official roster of the Tacoma
Philharmonic orchestra is "busi-
ness manager cleared up what
appeared to be contradictory
statements concerning the connec-
tion of Eugene Linden with the
Julliard School of Music in New
York. In an announcement re-
leased to the press a few weeks
ago by the Philharmonic office, the
statement was made that there
would be no spring concerts in Ia
coma because Eugene Linden had
been engaged as a member of the
staff of the Julliard school and
was to begin his work there
April 2.
A letter from the Julliard school
contradicted the statement. The
writer said that nobody connected
with the school seemed to know
Mr.. Linden and that there was no
record OF any such person being
hired.
Mr.. Russell explained the dis
crepancy today by saying Linden
had contemplated taking a posi-
ton with the Julliard people and
then decided that it was not worth
while. Russell also explained that
Linden had not dealt directly with
the Julliard executives but had
been negotiating with a third
party.
Linden, according to Russell, is
now in Hollywood

was issued from the Philharmonic
office:
