| Medical School
| Gets By-Product
|Of Atom Bomb
by the Assoeiofed Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. GA half
teaspoonful of chalky powder, the
first lot of an atomic energy SUBJ
stance created as a by-product of
the atom bomb project for alloca-
tion to civilian medical researchers,
was delivered yesterday to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Medical
School.
DR.. Samuel Gurin, associate pro-
fessor of physiological chemistry
said that If the radioactive Carbon
IA in the powder could be isolated
it could be placed on the head of a
pin, yet it is enough to provide
material for so to 100 biological ex-
periments on individual animals and
will last the researchers about year
The Carbon IA will be used for
tagging molecules which will be used
as tracers in studying living cell
reactions.
DR.. D, Wright Wilson, head of the
physiological chemistry department
will direct the research, directed
particularly toward diabetes, with
experiments mostly on rats to study
how various substances are manu-.
factured in the body and how sub
stances behave in living cells.

Jewish Agency Plans
To Call Session Of
Zionist Action Group
BY fhe Gssecioied Press

PARIS, Aug. 6.-The Jewish
Agency's concern over the situation
in Palestine was reflected today in
a decision by the Agency Executive
to summon special meeting of the
Zionist Action Committee before
the end of the month.
The decision to convene the COM
mittee-Supreme World Zionist body
in the off years between biennial
meetings of the World Zionist Con-
gress-was announced last night
after the Executive had rejected a
British American proposal for di-
vision of Palestine.
The Executive, which has been
meeting here, also disclosed that it
had dispatched a representative
DR.. Nahum Goldmann-to Wash
lngton by plane ''in connection with
the situation Goldman is ex-
pected to return to Paris in a few
days. In the meantime the Execu-
tive remained in recess today be-
cause it is Jewish fast day.
Four Objections to Division.
In rejecting the proposal for di-
vision OF Palestine in separate Jewish
and Arab states under a federal gov
ernment, the Executive listed four
major objections to the plan:
l. 1t offers no independence tc
either Jaws Or Arabs. Self-govern-
ment in proposed Jewish province
was termed illusory. -....
2. While depriving the Jewish
people of their rights under the
League of Nations mandate in IS
per cent of the Holy Land, the plan
denies them the right to decide i'm
migration policies, even in the Is
per cent allotted to the proposed
Jewish province.
3. The area of the proposed Jew
ish province is even smaller than
the Jewish state proposed by the
British Royal Commission in 1897.
4. There is nothing final in the
proposal except in the portion deny
ing Jewish rights in IS per cent of
the country. What the Executive
Evening star., 1946-08-06

termed as the arbitrary rule of the
present British administration would
remain in force indefinitely.
In London, Prime Minister Att
lee, anticipating a possible Ameri-
can rejection of the partition pro-
posal, was expected to ask the Brit
ish cabinet tomorrow to decide
whether the Palestine issue should
be referred to the United Nations.
In Alexandria, Abdul Rahman
Azzam Pasha, secretary-general of
the Arab League, said the league
would canvass the opinion of 'all
Palestine Arab eaders"-including
the Gran Mufti of Jerusalem who is
now in Egypt-on the Palestine
problem.
The league secretary did not say
whether the Mufti had been invited
to the conference of league states
foreign ministers called for August
II to discuss the Arab prosition on
Palestine.

Railroads Say Rates
Charged us. Reduced
Overall Cost Of War
BY The Associoted Press

The Association of American Rail-
roads declared yesterday that "the
railroads did not oyercharge the
Government on wartime freight"
In a statement replying to a de-
mand by Senator Taylor, Democrat.
of Idaho for an investigation into
what he termed excessive freight
rates paid by the armed services"
the association said 1t had not seen
Senator Taylor's letters but Judging
from published extracts, what the
Senator says Is not in accordance
with the facts"
The association quoted from a
report by Brig. Gen. w. j. William
son, chief of the traffic control divi-
sion, Army Transportation Corps,
to the House Appropriations Com
mittee. The report said:
THE railroads made numerous
voluntary readjustments of rates
with the result that the Government
received in most instances rates as
low as or lower than would be pre-
scribed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the same commodi-
ties. These readjustments have ma
terially reduced the overall cost of
the conduct of the war"
Another major error In Senator
Taylor's letters as published said
the association statement ''is the
allegation that railroad men in uni
form were responsible for what he
termed lack of zeal in dealing
with the railroads for the Govern
ment.
Neither the chief of the Army
transportation Corps, nor any other
ofi1cer in responsible control of mat
tiers having to do with railroad
freight rates in the United States.
went from railroad to the Gov
ernment service, or has come from
Army service to railroad"
Senator Taylor in his letter to
Chairman Mead of the Senate War
Investigating Committee said rail-
road men who were officers during
the war negotiated rates with for
mer and future employers" and that
a question exists whether those
close relationships with the car
riers limited the officers zeal in
representing the Government"
In another letter to Budget Direc-
tor James Webb, Senator Taylor
urged immediate action to recover
the overcharges which have been
paid by the United States Govern
ment to the various railroads"

would fall under the provisions of
the Antitrust Act and declared
that mo injury resulted to any one
and there was no intent to fix prices
restrain trade or to practice dis
elimination.
Policy to Keep Rents Up.
The complaint charged that the
defendants agree:
l. To Systematically exchange in
formation and opinions concerning
the mortgage suitability of real
estate on which loans were sought
by a system or reporting and pub
fishing loan commitments;
2. To stabilize interest rates by
fixing minimum terms and rates;
3. To enforce uniform rental pol
icy designed to keep rents up;
4. To prevent new construction
in areas where such construction
would lessen the. income from real
estate in which the lending insti-
tutions have substantial mortgage
interests by concertedly withhold
ing mortgage financing;
s. To use their control of credit
in such way as to exclude from
certain areas certain minority
racial and national groups by re-
fusing to place mortgages located
in such areas.
Dissolution Is Urged.
The suit seeks dissolution of the
mortgage conference, and an in
junction against the defendants re-
straining them from engaging in
practices listed in the complaint.
Other defendants listed include:
Aetna Life Insurance Co., Hart
ford, Conn; Bankers Trust Co.,

|FoIIow-Up on Probe
By Miriom Ottenbero

Chairman Mead of the Senate
War Investigating Committee
planned to confer with Attorney
General Clark today to discuss
the Justice Departments follow
up action on the disclosures by
the investigating group during
Its month-long inquiry into the
Carson munitions interests.
The committee chairman also
scheduled meeting with Internal
Revenue Commissioner Joseph D.
Nunan, jr., to make preliminary ar
rangements for obtaining the tax
returns available to the committee
by executive order.
Senator Mead said he intends to
confer too with Thomas N. McCabe,
foreign liquidation commissioner
about the disposal of surplus ma
terials in France, Belgium and Italy.
The committee has heard that autos,
trucks, bulldozers and other scarce
machinery have been sold abroad,
Senator Mead explained.
May Go to Europe.
A subcommittee of the investigat-
ing group, Senator, Mead said, may
go to Europe before the summer is
over to determine whether these
scarce items should be returned to
this country instead of being dis
posed Of abroad as surplus.
There were indications that the
conference with the Attorney Gen.
eral may precipitate q decision on
a question that has been hanging
fire Tor weeks-what to do about
Representative May, Democrat, of
Kentucky, whose name has been
repeatedly linked with the Carson
family and their paper empire"
Commenting on reports that Mr..
Mays Prestonburg CKy.) physician
had called the legislators condi-
ton "the worst in years." Senator
Mead said he Is awaiting a COM

committee will decide after Mr..
Magee's report whether to set a
new date for the appearance of the
House Military Affairs Committee
chairman and whether to issue a
new subpoena. Mr.. May was under
subpoena to testify two weeks ago
when Mr.. Magee told the committee
he had collapsed.
Willing to Wait.
"We are willing to wait patiently
until Mr.. May is well enough to tes-
tify, but we want to hear his story
when he is ready to tell it," Sem
ator Mead said.
There were growing indications,
however, that the committee is wary
about forcing the issue as long as
any physician reports the 71-year-
old legislator is too i'll to appear.
DR.. John Archer, Mr.. Mays home
town doctor, told the Associated
Press last night that the legislators
condition was unchanged" Earlier.

James c. Wilson, chief of the New

ment Antitrust Division, said: ::
Our action today follows considera-
tion of the subject matter of the
Governments complaint by a Fed
eral grand jury convened on June IL,
this year, and dismissed late Mon
day afternoon by Federal Judge

Conferences 10 Beqin
Tomorrow on Proposal
To Divide Palestine

Conferences expected to lead to a
decision by this Government on pro-
posals for partitioning Palestine
into Jewish and Arab federal states
will get under way here tomorrow
Acting Secretary of State Acheson
said today.
He said the group of American
officials who participated in draw
ing up the proposal in London
would discuss the problem with
United States members of the
Anglo-American Inquiry Commit
tee, which recommended several
months ago that immigration of
1000 more Jews into Palestine be
arranged Immediately.
After discussion between these
two groups, Mr.. Acheson said, their
views will be studied by the Cabinet
Committee-the Secretaries of State,
War, and Treasury-which then will
recommend decision to President
Truman.
Mr.. Acheson said he did not know
OF any way in which the immigra-
tion of Jews into Palestine could be
advanced in the meantime.
British government sources in
London said Britain may stop all
Jewish immigration to Palestine
soon unless the United States agrees
to help carry out the proposal to
carve the country into four areas.
A Colonial Office spokesman said
we're near the end of the 75,O00
quota" for Jewish immigration set
by the 1899 white paper. The
spokesman said he could not pro-
vide up-to-the- minute figures.
Tension is getting worse all the
time and some sort of interim plan
will have to be devised at once un-
less President Truman accepts the
plan quickly" he said.
Proposals to stop Jewish immigra-
tion may be discussed at tomorrow's S
special cabinet meeting on Palestine.

 At this writing the superbera veterans bill has not became law but it looks if it should sail through the conference committee report. The bill, when it be- law, will be the most liberal adopted by any State Territory.
 Already approved by the Governor, and to become law July 1, is Workmens Compensation Act far ahead of the acts of any other governmental unit under the United Sates( legislation which not included in the call for the special session. but which the Legsa ture added.
 Passed through without any opposition bill ap propriatng a quarter of million dollars for the fight against tuberculosis with the adoption of program drawn up by Commissioner of Health Albrecht Dr. AL brecht will have powerful talking point in soliciting Federal cooperation in the program result of this action.
 Also not to be forgotten is the passage of bill raising the salaries of Alaska teachers to easily the highest craze of any other State or Territory which should make it possible for Commissioner of Education Ryan to further improve the Terrtorys excellent education program. The measure also authorizes money in matching funds for city school administrators Alaska is already probably the only place under the American flag where teachers retirement program offers teach the chance to retire at $1O0 month
