ARABS TURN DOWN
BRITISH REQUEST
London Palestine Farley
Rejected Because Grand
Mutt Ignored

JERUSALEM, Aug. 31-(P)- The
Palestine Arab Executive unani
mously rejected today the British
invitation to London talks on the
future of Palestine. declaring that
British refusal to invite the Mutt
of Jerusalem was the result Of
Zionist influence.
The executive dispatched notes
to the v members of the Arab
league, urging them to reject the
London conference scheduled Sept.
9 because the Multi, spiritual lead.
er of Palestine's Arabs, was not
invited.
Meanwhile, the Jewish Agency
Executive has given no indication
whether it would accept the invita-
ton to the conference. A decision
vas expected Monday.
High Arab league sources in
Cairo have predicted that the seven
Arab states would send delegations
to London regardless of the Pales-
tine executives action. Apprised
of this, DR.. Hussein F.. Khalidi,
member of the Palestine group,
said it was 'our duty to ask them
not to attend.
1--WE are after all the first word
in Palestine Arab affairs under the
leadership of the Mutt he said.

HOME FOR AGED
IS PLANNED HERE

Wayne Spencer, the recording
secretary, said, and it was incor-
porated under the laws the North
Carolina General Assembly on Dec.
II, 1852, for the purpose of opera
ting a home for aged women.
All records of the society ante
dating 1868 were burned, according
to Mrs. Spencer, who reported that
most Of the records were last or
destroyed during the War Between
the States, when Wilmington was
occupied by the Federal forces.
The society's history shows that
the organization operated ''just a
little home, which was purchased
in 1879, and which was located in
an obscure part of the city, this
home having been known as 1.-THE
Old Ladies Rest"
Catherine Kennedy, who was a
member of the old Front Street
Methodist church, is credited with
having started the home for old
women, and she is understood to
have received considerable finan-
cial assistance from the members
Of that congregation, which built
Grace Methodist church after the
Front street edifice was destroyed
in the conflagration.
In 1893 the Associated Charities
started the L a d Benevolent
society, Mrs. Spencer reported, ad-
ding that during the following year,
decision was reached to open
Catherine Kennedy Home at its
present address.
The old residence at Ninth and
Princess streets was purchased by
the society in 1895, when the late
P. K. Dickinson, n of the organ
izers of the old Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad company, donated
ten shares of w. and w. stock to
the society and the late James Wal
ker. founder Of James Walker Me
mortal hospital, also contributed
$1,000 to the society.
The late Samuel Bear later gave
the Nina Bear Memorial annex to
the home, and in later years an
endowment fund was started for the
continued operation of the Cathe-
rine Kennedy Home, which is a
semi-charitable institution, where
hundreds of aged women have
spent their declining years.
An appeal was issued yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. Albert F. Perry,
treasurer of the Ladies Benevolent
Society, Inc, for any cash contri-
buttons that anybody may care te
donate towards the fund for the
construction Of the new home
Mrs. Perry asked that all contribu.
tons be made to her as treasurer

There was little likelihood, there

Another issue which the Big Four
faces is the question of postponing

 District Judge J. Francis Callan Jr, fixed the bail at $15 5000, with double surety, after Assistant Dis trict Attorney John R. Wheatley had asked that the bond be s25, ,000 with double surety, or a total of $50,000
 Goodale's plea of innocent was made by his attorney, Matthew King of Boston, to the specific charge of assault with intent to rape a Lowell girl just one week before the sex staying of Miss McGurk, a former USO hostess.
 Case Continued To Aug. 29
 Judge Callan continued the case until Aug. g for a hearing.
 There was no immediate indica- tion of whether Goodale, 25-year- old son of Clarence Goodale, Onset restaurateur, would be able to post bail.
 The complaint did not name the Lowell girl, but she previously had been identified as Miss Geraldine R. Wallace, a student nurse who was spending a weekend in Onset at the time of the alleged attempt ed attack.
 Only two-thirds of the 75 seats in the Wareham district courtroom on the second floor of Redmens $ Hall above butcher shop-were oc- cupied when Goodale entered after being held for 85 hours as a "sus- picious person"
