Palestine Jews Call
General Strike Today
In Deportation Protest
As.oeiotsd Pres. Foreign Correspondent

JERUSALEM, Nov. 2-The ira
ditional annual one-day strike OF
Palestine's Arabs in protest against
the Balfour Declaration, coupled
with the Jewish Sabbath, placed the
Holy Land in virtual state OF
paralysis today, but no violence &C
companied the demonstration.
Tomorrow the Jews have called a
general strike in protest against the
deportation of immigrants to Cy-
prus. Despite the quiet, police and
military authorities maintained a
sharp vigil over the entire restive
country.
All transportation was interrupt
ed and commercial activity ceased
in today's strike The Jews have
called for stoppage of trafflc, clos
ing of shops and mass meetings
throughout the land In their demon
lstration.
1878 Moved from Ship.
A dispatch from Beyrouth quoted
the Lebanon radio as saying the
Foreign Ministry was informed that
a Jewish immigrant ship being es-
corted by a British destroyer was
in danger of sinking within few
miles of the Lebanese coast. Yester-
day the British removed 1878 i'm
migrants from the refugee ship San
Dimitrio and sent them to deten-
ton camps on Cyprus.
A delegation from the Arab Wom-
ems Union presented the British
government here with memoran-
dunn calling for abrogation of the
Balfour Declaration, in which the
British declared in 1917 that they
looked with favor on the establish
ment of Jewish national homeland
in Palestine The Arab women's
memorandum called for more strin-
gent measures to combat jewish
inspired violence and for release of
Arab political prisoners
The Arab Higher Executive Com
mittee said it sent similar demands
to the British Colonial Office in Lon
don and to the United Nations in
new YORK City.
Prayers End without Incident.
Despite the exhortation Of some
small groups to engage in a process
sion, the midday prayers in the
Arab mosques of the old city ended
without incident.
These mass meetings of both the
Jews and the Arabs just give the
people chance to get it off their
chests, and we don't expect any trou-
ble," said one confident Palestine
authority.
(The London Daily News as
serted today without confirmation
that Jewish terrorists were PLAN
ming to carry their underground
war into the heart of Britain"
and said the recent bombing of
the British embassy in Rome was
'the first blow" The foreign Of
flee said there was no connection
thus far between the Rome explo-
sion and the Jews, and the Colo
nial ONCE discounted the story.)
The 29th anniversary of the Bal
four Declaration passed quietly in
other Arab countries.

should be united again to provide
continuous ride, without transfer at
Pinehr-st Circle, from points along
Utah avenue to points along Broad
Branch road and Military road NV,
Mr.. Locke said. 1t opposes restora-
ton of the loop, saying it was very
inefficient and prevented expansion
of bus service in the neighborhood
to meet the growing needs OF the
community, he declared.
Service Expanded.
Mr.. Locke said that the October
6 change permitted the company to
expand its service along Western
avenue, between Pinehurst Circle
and Chestnut street NV. He said
that it also lays the foundation for
extension along Western avenue, as
it is open to traffic.
A proposed bus service into Barn.
ably Woods has been opposed by
some residents because of the noise
of the buses, narrow streets, the
danger of children playing and the
plea that it would mar residen-
tial area. Others want such serv-
ice.
Some residents said that they pre-
ferred to walk over to Utah avenue
as they are now doing. Attorney j
Austin Latimer. chairman of the
Public Utilities Committee of the
Chevy Chase Citizens Association
led the fight before the PUG for the
Barnaby Woods service recently
This, however, was unsuccessful. II

A feature of this loop was that
one series of buses ran clockwise
around this route. while another
ran counterclockwise, both using

| The PUG ordered the cent cash
fare discontinued on October 6, due
to separation of the loop service
into two distinct routes. Mr.. Heisel
said that the citizens are not COM

do want the old loop restored

Coal Operators See
Competition Wrecked
By New Mine Raises
By james Y. Newton

Soft coal operators warned last
night that further wage conces-
sions to mine workers would
wreck the industry's competitive
position in the fuel market, while
reports from coal fields indicated
that work stoppages among
miners was spreading slightly.
Reports indicated that more than
10000 miners were involved in un-
authorized strikes, mostly in the
Williamson area of southern West
Virginia and in adjacent Kentucky.
The seriousness of the walkout will
not be known until tomorrow, for
many of the mines normally report
high Saturday absenteeism. Federal
officials here noted that most OF the
mines closed were small.
William Blizzard, president of the
United Mine Workers district in
southern West Virginia, said the
walkout "is spreading, but We are
doing all we can to prevent it,
Federal officials said they still be-
heved the strike was caused by mis-
understanding over status of the
wage agreement in the conference
here, but admitted they could not
be certain until tomorrow.
Talks Recessed Till Tomorrow.
The conference between John L.
Lewis miners and the Government
operators of the seized soft coal
mines was in recess until tomorrow
morning. There was nothing new
on Mr.. Lewis fight to reopen the
contract for higher wages over OBJ
jections of Secretary of Interior
Krug and his coal mines admins
tration.
But the National Coal Association,
representing the owners of the
mines which have been in Govern
ment possession since May, issued
statement saying that our whole
national economy trembles in jeop-
ardy" while the Government and
the big boss of the United Mine
Workers play a game of checkers
with three billion dollar industry. -
The statement said high mine pay
and consequently coal prices already
have caused the fuel to lose ground
to oil and gas, and that further
wage increases would accelerate the
trend.
Operators Statement.
ut is time that the miners be
told that their peerless leader, in
his ruthless pursuit Of personal
power and his efforts to outdistance
his rivals, is digging the grave OF his
followers" the coal association said
of the new Lewis demands.
His 'victory'-stil higher wages
for less Work-Will destroy the jobs
for tens of thousands Of them by
pricing out of the market the coal
that must be sold If they are to
have employment in digging it.
This already is happening, and
what Mr.. Lewis is now striving for
will simply make bad matters worse. y
The statement added the Govern
ment could bow to Mr. Lewis" but 1t
cannot compel users OF coal to
stick to coal"
The association noted that Gov
eminent figures show miners aver
age weekly earnings at $62.37 in
August, higher than the average re-
ported for any other industry.
mo matter whether the miners
earnings are viewed on an hourly
basis or weekly basis" the asso-
citation said, "it is manifest that
the cost of living will have to climb
lot higher before it cancels out the
increases in wages and earnings
which the coal miners have already
obtained"

Chevy Chase school children, be-
ginning tomorrow, will have better
bus connections at lunchtime. The
Capital Transit co. expects to put
a new permanent bus schedule into
effect three weeks hence. Details
are not yet available.
But the fight for restoration OF
the prewar Chevy Chase loop, ended
by the Public Utilities Commission
on october 6, goes on.
The new service for school chill
dren is the outgrowth of the ap-
4pearance of school spokesmen before
the PUG Wednesday. Dissatisfied
smembers of the lafayette Home and
School Association complained that
the present bus schedules interfere
with a proper lunchtime for the
children. ~
T. Effective Tomorrow.
The new plan, effective tomorrow
will benefit children attending La
fayette School, Northampton street
and Broad Branch road NV. and
Blessed Sacrament School, 534l
Chevy Chase Parkway NV.
Dean j. Locke, staff engineer OF
the Capital Transit Co., said that
new schedule will be effective in
three weeks ON the Nebraska ave-
nue. line, known as MA, and the
Loughboro Road-Chevy Chase line
known as Dc. In the interim, be-
ginning tomorrow, he said the com.
pany will operate extra buses along
tine Dc route to serve Lafayette
School, as far as Pinehurst Circle
They will connect there with ar
extra bus on the Ma line to give
service as far as Nebraska ane
Connecticut avenues NV, he said
A bus will leave Lafayette School al
1905 pm. and bus will~arrive back
at the school at 1880 pm.
This, Mr.. Locke said, will NEE
the objection that children had Il
leave school for lunch before tht
noon recess, in order to get tht
proper bus. ..
School Lacks Lunch Room.
Miss Margaret Pepper. princfpa.
of the Lafayette School, told the
PUG on wednesday that there Is
no lunch room at the school, so she
has to release SIS children at 20 min
utes before noon to get home fol
lunch and back.
Attorney Harry S. Wender, repre-
senting the association, told the
Commission that the transfer point
on Western avenue at Pinehurst
Circle forces children, attending
Lafayette and Blessed Sacramen,
Schools. to cross the avenue foul
times daily.
Mr.. Locke disclosed yesterday thai
the company will now place an ad'
ditional bus stop at that point, re.
moving this need. He said that op.

PUG abolished the old Chevy CHASE
loop bus service and revamped the
routes. had shown the need for cor
rective measures.
Chevy Chase citizens want the
bus lines there shifted to meet vary
Ing nceQS.
Business Declining.
Through a spokesman, j. M
Heiser, business men of the area
said they are losing business under
the present bus service. The COM
munity now has only one bus where
it had three before the old loop line
was abolished, he said. Business is
now going to Wisconsin avenue, Be-
thesda and other communities, due
to difficulty of travel under the new
system, Mr.. Heiser declared.
Chevy Chase business men want

Retailers Call for Beef
AT Warehouses as
Drivers Strike Ends

1t was like the gold rush all over
again yesterday with the settlement
of the beer strike. Hundreds of
liquor store and restaurant owners
deluged the wholesale distributors
to replenish their beer supply.
In the agreement ending the
three week strike, distributors prom
ised the drivers that no beer would
be delivered until the drivers them
selves took over tomorrow morning.
But nothing was said to prevent
sales from ware house platforms.
Tired of empty beer coils and COM
plants from arid customers, the
beer retailers reacted almost as soon
as the peace treaty was signed.
Drivers Get Commissions.
Not even the drivers, who voted

ing at all, yet they were drawing
their commissions on the sale of
every case and key-just as if they
were delivering them-and at the
new higher price agreed on in the
strike settlement.
Some of the drivers showed their
appreciation by helping to load cars,
trucks and taxis calling for beer.
Lineup Starts Early.
Word that beer was available for
the asking spread rapidly. Shortly
after 10 am. cars and trucks began
lining up in front of the ware
houses. All through the day ware
housemen, Office workers and super
visors toiled to slake the Districts

M. and G. Beer Distributing Co. at
118 L street NE. The distributor,
George M. Mason, said about 5000
cases and $50 II a-barrel kegs of beer
were moved. Eight union drivers
helped load the vehicles.
A similar scene was enacted at
the Anheuser-Bu plant at 1440

amazed by it all, said they came in
