On Palestine Formed
By the Assooioted Press

CAIRO, May 29.-RepresentativeS
of seven Arab states-kings. presi-
dents and princes-met here today
to organize a united front against
Jewish immigration to Palestine.
The immediate concern of the
conference. scheduled to continue
for two days, was the British Amer
lean Inquiry Committees report on
Palestine, which recommended the
admission of 100000 additional Jews
to the country this year
One high Arab official said the re-
port had had the effect of seriously
lowering American prestige in the
Middle East.
American prestige was extremely
high in the Middle East before the
Palestine report, but now much of
that prestige is gone" said this
spokesman. adviser to one of the
Arab rulers Many officials 1 have
talked to feel Britain has maneu-
vered the United States into posi-
ton of doing its unpleasant work
on the question
The conference was convened at
the invitation of King Farouk of
Egypt In attendance were King
Abdullah of Transjordan; Amir
Saud. crown prince of Saudi Arabia :
Amir Abdullah. crown prince and
regent of Iraq: Sheik Bechara
Khoury. President of Lebanon: Al
Sayed Shukri Al Kuwatly, President
of Syria. and Sief Ell Islam Sword

ATC Flies 100000,
Passenger Miles in 5 Years

Five years ago the Air Transport
Command was born here In
recognition of expansion that at its
peak covered more than $4,000 air
route miles, the ATCs chief, 1t.
Gen. Harold l.. George, received an
niversary congratulatory letters
from President Truman and other
dignitaries.
Mr.. Truman wrote Gen. George
that certainly such landmark in
the history of an organization which
made such logistic contribution
toward winning the war should be
noted"
While the ATC has turned over
much Of its peacetime traffic to
civilian air carriers, it still operates
more than 900 planes and flies 434
round trips monthly across the Pa
cific and lat to Europe, the Mediter-
ranean and India.
During the war, horses were among
the cargo when the entire Chinese
9th Army was moved by air Alto
gether 2.l80 animals were carried
along with the Chinese troops.
Devised to ferry war planes from
American factories to Canadian
transfer points, the ATC first was
known as the Ferrying Command
But as the demands of war became
greater, ATC flew the planes over
seas and piled up record figures for
passenger and freight service

the Republican party had the most

the Democratic party. but against
Political Action Committee candi-
dates he told party attended by
State Republican leaders and can

since taking the Republican helm.
In 1860 the Nation was threatened
with dismemberment along sectional
lines, Mr.. Reece recalled. and "the
Republican party rose to the occa-
sion and preserved the Union"
To-day we are threatened with an
even more vicious form of dismem-
berment, one which disregardS geo.
graphical areas and sets one seq

This threat. he said. "has come
INTO dangerous actuality because a

|CiN-Wide Strike Ends
lin Rochester Under
Negotiation Promise
BY the Assoeioted Press

ROCHESTER, N. Y, May %
Rochester's city wide labor shut
down ended today when joint
AFL-CIO committee accepted a
city administration promise to
negotiate with organized labor,
so long as the union is loyal to
the United States and does not
claim the right to strike against
the public"
Word was flashed through organ
lied labor channels as soon as City
Manager Louis B. Cartwright's S
statement of policy" was accepted
at lis am, and business resumed
normal operations at dawn. Picket
lines. which had halted operations
yesterday, did not reappear.
The one-day shutdown. which
yesterday made approximately 30
900 unionists idle. developed from
lengthy controversy following Mr..
CartWright's action May Is in abol-
ishing 489 jobs in the public works
department. The AFL Federation
of State, County and Municipal EN-
ployeS was seeking to oragnize work.
ers in the department.
Ready to Meet Employees.
Union spokesmen claimed the city
sought to deny employees the right
to organize and bargain collectively
through representatives of their
own choosing"
Mr.. Cartwright said he was ready
to meet city employees separately OF
collectively. At the same time he
refused to meet AFL representatives
not employed by the city.
Todays statement of policy ex-
planned the city administration
would meet with city employees OF
a committee of employees selected
by organized or unorganized en-
ployes."
Such committees may be accom-
panied by counsel on this basis, the
city would continue to refuse TO
negotiate with union leaders who
were not city employees.
Terms of Agreement.
City policy in the future. as an
nounced by Frederick H. Bullen of
the State Mediation Board. who
was ordered to Rochester by Gov
Dewey and finally succeeded in get
/ ting agreement, follows:
Il All employees will return TO
work forthwith and be accepted
without prejudice
.. All disorderlv charges tpre-
ferred against 267 pickets arrested
last week. will be withdrawn and
it will be recommended that bail
be refunded Immediately.
8. Any employe Ccity) has the
right to join any organization he
pleases which is loyal to the United
States and does not claim the right
to strike against the public.
In making the statement that
any city employe has the right to
join any organization which is loyal
to the United States and which does
not claim the right to strike against
the public, it can be understood
that the city administration pro-
poses that it will continue the pre-
viously stated policy of meeting with
city employees. or a committee of
employees selected by organized or
uncrganized employees. There will be
no deviation from the policy of per-
mitting such employees or commit
tees of employees from being accom-
panied by legal counsel"
A happy "back-to-work" mood was
obvious today. Buses, which yester-
day remained in garages. hauled
capacity loads of workers.
Crews of ash, garbage. and rub
bish collectors. whose 81 drivers
were dismissed when they refused
to operate trucks after the 489 Jobs
were abolished. began hauling away
