4 Toast To Friends
BY st. Clair Kirton

Blessed are they
Whose friends remain true;
Who can count among them
Folks like you!
Some may be new friends,
Others may be old;
If the new ones are silver,
Then the old ones are goldl
May the joys Of the season
So full of good cheer
Be yours--dear friends,
Ali thToughs the New Year!

Palestine Situation
May Be Presented
10 Security Council
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 3.-The United
Nations Security Council faced the
prospect today that it might be
called on to prescribe measures to
prevent bloodshed in the Middle
East.
A spokesman for one Council dele
cation, who declined to be identi-
fed, said there was a strong posi-
bility that the explosive Palestine
situation would be presented shortly
as a problem before the Council.
'T'he present situation in Pales-
tine is certainly threat to peace
in the Middle East" he said, adding
that it therefore definitely comes
under the jurisdiction of the Sc
curity Council"
Doubt of Peril Raised.
A spokesman for another Council
delegation raised a doubt, however,
that the current situation could be
shown to constitute such a menace
He contended that unless threat
to peace is manifest the question
could not properly come before the
Council.
1t was considered possible that one
OF the Arab countries in the u. N.
would officially champion the Pal
estinian Arabs protests against the
British-American inquiry commit
tees report recommending the set
tlement OF 100000 homeless Euro
pean Jews in the troubled Holy
Land.
Palestinian Arabs already have
given an international tinge to the
question by communicating their
plans of action to the secretary
general OF the seven-nation Arab
League, whose membership is rep
resented in the United Nations by
Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia
and 1raq.
Council in Recess.
1t was conceded in Security Coun-
Gil circles that Arab League sup
port of the Palestinians Arab posi-
ton or individual collaboration by
predominantly Arab nations would
give the situation an international
aspect that could require Council
attention.
The Council remained in recess
subject to the call of Chairman
Hafez Af1fi Pasha of Egypt. Several
delegations assumed that the next
session would be next Tuesday, after
the Monday midnight deadline for
Russia's promised removal of troops
from Iran.
The subcommittee investigating
Spain meets again in secret session
Monday night and the u. N. Site
Committee has a Tuesday meeting
scheduled.

out on general strike in Response
TO the call of the Higher Committee
mittee.
The conservative newspaper Alefbs
expressed hope that Soviet Russia
would this time "block Americas
way in Palestine as did America with
Russia in the Iranian and Spanish
questions
In Iraq all political parties were
reported united in support of Pales-
tine Arabs. The American Charge
d'Affaires in Bagdad instructed all
American personnel to remain as
inconspicuous as possible to avoid
incidents.
Civil Disobedience Prepared.
In addition to calling today's Arab
general strike in Palestine the Arab
Higher Committee in Jerusalem
designated a group to study plans
for later civil disobedience strike
and the possible mobilization of
Arab youth in Palestine and also
called on all Arab nations to help
them as the first line of defense
for the Arab world
In its declaration handed to the
secretary of High Commissioner Ut
Gen. Sir Alan Gordon Cunning
ham and addressed to Prime Min
lister Attlee, the Higher Committee
said:
Pending the decision of the
British government on the imple-
mentation OF the report, the Arabs
will proceed to organize national
forces and prepare all means for
defense in order to resume the ma
tional struggle"
A committee official said the
words national struggle" referred
to the violent uprisings of 1886
1899, which ended with a British
white paper limiting Jewish immi-
grafton.

Problem of Palestine
Mounting to Crisis

LONDON, May 3 (P).-The ex-
plosive problem of Palestine mount
ed swiftly toward q crisis today.
The powerful Arab Higher Com
mittee in Jerusalem, which called
the strike, has handed the British
high commissioner "the next thing
to an ultimatum" stating that Arabs
would prepare all means "to resume
the national struggle" unless the re-
port is rejected.
Not at Fighting Stage Yet"
The secretary general of the Arab
League, Abdul Rahman Azzam
Pasha, declared in Cairo that he
had been informed that the "ulti-
matum" demanded abandonment of
the Inquiry Committees recommen-
dations cor all Arabs in Palestine
will begin their war Immediately"
mot ut Fighting Stage Yet"
In response to a question as to
whether the members of the league
Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi
Arabia, Transjordan and Yemen
would join the Arabs of Palestine
in their struggle against the re-
port, which includes a recommends
tion for immediate immigration of
100000 homeless European Jews to
Palestine, Azzam Pasha replied:
Naturally they will, but we have
not reached the stage Of fighting
yet.
The report does not help build
any understanding between Arabs
and Jews" he continued. t'I be-
iieve it is bad luck for Jews, Arabs,
Americans and British that this re-
port has not succeeded in any way
to ease the situation or lead to an
understanding.
"If we were left alone without
any foreign interference, there would
be no difference between Moslem.
Jew, Zionist or Christian but
the result OF this report is encourag-
ing Zionist terrorism"
u. S. Unwilling to Intervene.
In London, meanwhile, British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin was
reported officially to be making Gin
formal inquiries" as to what aid
Britain might expect from the
United States in administering the
troublesome mandate in Palestine.

pictured the United States as un-
willing to undertake any direct in
tervention in Palestine, but rather
as counting on the United Nations

Too Tough TO Die

THE human system can
stand an incredible
amount of brutal punish
ment, as every medical man
knows. But even the oldest
surgeon at London's Pop
lar Hospital was pop-eyed
with amaZement the other
day when 50-year-old Ar
thur Shelford came In from
an ambulance. on his own
feet.
Shelford had a pointed
steel rod, 13 inches long
and half an inch wide,
speared right through his
head. One end protruded
below his left eye and the
other stuck out from behind
his right ear.
II was working at a ma
chine when something went
wrong and this flew out
and hit me-" was the way
he explained his odd acci-
dent. Then he lit a cigaret
as the doctors skilfully re-
moved the rod, which had
barely missed the brain,
and administered penicillin.
He's recovering" said

why. The man should be
dead"
Groups of internes Wis
tied Mr.. Shelford's room
during his convalescence.
They asked him how he
felt, studied his chart and,
when they had learned all
the details of the delicate
operation, they had nothing
but praise for the surgeons
and admiration for their
patients fortitude.
Then Mr.. S elford de-
hvered himself of a pro-
found observation.
This hospital is a right
nice place TO be when
you're sick" he informed
his visitors, "but when /
get out OF here, III never
get too curious again about
what's happened TO my ma
chine. II / hadn't stopped
down to look at the busted

clear of all you folks with
your operating rooms and
comfortable white beds"
