Britain Is Reported
Considering Giving Up
Mandate in Palestine
Foreign Office Refuses to
Deny Thot Surrender of
Control Is Being Studied
BY the kesceioted Press

LONDON, Aug, "a Foreign
Office spokesman today said he
would not deny" that Britain
might resign her mandate over
Palestine if current negotiations
toward a settlement broke down.
He added that while he knew of
no plan alternative to the present
partition proposal other ideas in
tentative form" might exist.
The spokesman would make no
further comment on the possibility
that Britain might resign the man
date given her by the League of
Nations after World War I. ~
Winston Churchill suggested the
action in the Commons last night
saying the task of maintaining law
and order In the troubled Holy Land
was becoming q burden too heavy
for one state to bear.
The Daily Mail today said Britain
might resign the mandate to the
United Nations If the United States
did not Cooperate in the new Pal
estine partition proposal. ~
The Communist Daily Worker, on
the other hand, denounced the par
tition scheme as "a base plan" to
give Britain place to keep troops
and the United States an excuse for
economic and political penetration
into the Middle East
The Foreign Office reported that
Syria, the Lebanon and Trans-Jor-
dan had accepted the British invita-
ton to the seven states of the Arab
League to participate in a round
table conference on the Palestine
partition. The official said it was
the government hope that discus
sions would end before September Is.
This would give Britain time, if ne
gotiations failed completely, to hand
the Palestine question over to the
United Nations Assembly, due to
meet September % in New York.

House Sustains Veto
Of 1ideIands Oil Bill
BY Vote Of 139 10 95
Truman Wins Victory,
Says Issue Is One
For Supreme Court
BY the Assceioted Press

The House today sustained
President Truman's veto of the
tidelands bill, thus killing the
legislation.
The vote was 139 for overriding
the veto and 95 against, but this
fell II ballots short of the two
third majority required to enact a
measure into law over the Presi-
dents objection.
The action thus gave Mr.. Truman
IA victory in last minute f1areup
of discord with the 18th Congress.
Two Other Vetoes Sustained.
Previously. the House has sus-
tanned his vetoes on the Case labor
dispute bill and the first OPA con-
tlnuatlon measure. In each case a
majority, but not two thirds, voted
to override
Earlier, the tidelands bills spon-
Isors had indicated they would not
make fight against the veto. be-
cause they did not believe they had
the strength in the Senate to get
a two-thirds ma jority.
Mr.. Truman sent the bill back tc
the lawyers late yesterday with the
declaration that the Supreme Court
not Congress. should decide the is.
sues involved.
The legislation, by renouncing al
Federal claims, would give State:
clear title to certain ou-rich lands
chiefly those between the 3-milt
limit and the loW-tide mark alons
the Nations coast.
| Sponsors Censure Veto.
Sponsors of the measure made i
clear they did not like the Presf
dents action. Some, asking not tt

thought it was hitting below thu
belt to toss in the veto during tn,
closing hours of the session.

however, were quick to defend Mr.
Truman's method as a fair one
They pointed out he could hav,
shut out any possible further actor
at this session by waiting unit
Congress went home and then kill

sign it.
In his veto message, Mr.. Truman
stressed that the Justice Depart.

Junior Audubon Bid Club

Junior Audubon Bird Club
The Junior Audubon Bird Club
of the 3rd grade was organized last
September with the object OF be
coming better acquainted with the
birds of our community The club
has developed into project OF keen
interest and pleasure.
During the winter a record was
kept of winter birds which we OBJ
served their names were learned
and feeding habits studied. At this
season we saw pine grosbeaks, cedar
Waxwings, nuthatches, chickadees'
and as early as February Juncos
were recorded.
Other activities carried out were:
Keeping a calendar of return
ing birds; 2-Writing descriptions
of new birds and then using our
bird books to identity them; j.
Making sketches of birds at art
lesson periods; 5-Getting camera
pictures of birds; 6-Going on a field
trip.
A highlight of the field trip was
the discovery of the Rufous Hum
mingbird. This is a rather rare
species which does not frequent the
inhabited areas but prefers the
seclusion of the thicket near water.
It was along Callahan that we found
this little bird We have been told
that he comes to the hedges and
shrubbery that are near his favor
ite haunts.
AS this is the first club some
of the members have ever conduct
ed it is valuable to them that they
at this early age learn how to con-
duct a meeting in the approved
way. The first officers elected
were: President, Margaret Laehn,
Vice-president, Clara Pattie, and
Secretary. Wayne Wallace. The
second group of officers elected to
carry on the work this summer are:
President, Clara Pattie, Secretary,
Wayne Wallace.
This is the second year Miss Muir
ray has sponsored an Audubon Bird
Club in her room. It has stimulated
interest in bird life even after the
class moved on to the next grade
and it would seem that the work
begun by this teacher would be of
value in later life to the boys and
girls Miss Murray informs US that
the parent club sends out very val ,
liable material Illustrations are
very fine as it is the little paper
sent out to the club.
