Iraq House Protests
Report on Palestine
BY me Associated Press

BAGHDAD, May THE Iraai
House of Representatives adopted
unanimously last night a strongly
worded protest against the recon-
mendations of the British American
Inquiry Committee on Palestine
which the protest said inevitably
will lead to disturbance of the peace
and security of the Middle East
if implemented.
The protest, addressed to Presi-
dent Truman, Prime Minister Att
lee, Prime Minister Stain and
others, said the House and the
Iraqi people most strongly disavow
the recommendations which aim at
the destruction of the structure of
the Arab people and were conspired
by the Joint Committee and Zionists
to humiliate the Arabs"
DR.. E. Janali, Iraq Foreign Minister
told newsmen meanwhile that Iraq
hoped to resume diplomatic rela-
tions with French shortly. His
statement gave rise to speculation
in some quarters that Iraq might
seek French support for an Arab
protest to the United Nations
Security Council with respect to
the British-American Inquiry Com
mittee recommendation.
Iraq's diplomatic mission in Paris
was withdrawn when the Germans
overran France in 1910.
CAIRO, May 7 (Pl.-Moslem and
Arab associations of Egypt today
called a general strike for Friday
in protest against the Anglo
American Committee report and in

reach a good and faithful under
standing with Soviet Russia through
the agency and organism of the
United Nations"
"Only in this way can catastrophe
be avoided" he said.

at ceremony giving him the free
dom OF the City of Westminster
the section of London embracing the
Houses Of Parliament and Westmin-
lister Abbey. He spoke at Church
House, where the first session of the

held.
Mr.. Churchill asked the world to
ponder what happens if the United
Nations themselves are sundered by
an awful schism, a clash of ideol-
ogies and passions?"
Failure to find the answer" he
said, may lead the whole human
race into a new period of misery
slaughter and abasement more
agonizing and fatal than those
which have twice been endured in
the lifetime of most of U.S."
He called on 'the English-speak-
Ing world and the western democ-
racies of Europe to move together
IN creating a true fellowship with
Russia"
Il hope in this world organiza-
tion there will be a strong France
and a revived Italy" he said.

yet lead Europe into peace and
plenty"

Early Showdown Due
In Dispute on How 10
Obtain More Butter
By the Assoeioted Press

A 3-week-old clash of top
level views on how to put more
butter on the Nations dinner
table appeared headed today for
an early showdown.
Involved in the controversy which
fiared into the open on Capitol Hill
yesterday are Sterilization Director
Bowles and OPA Chief Porter. on
the one and, and Secretary of Agri-
culture Anderson on the other.
At issue is a program Mr.. Bowles
announced three weeks ago in an
effort to keep milk output high and
to divert more cream and butterfat
into butter manufacture. Specific
ally it called for:
l. Larger subsidy payments to
dairy farmers during the flush milk
production months of May and June
to offset increases in production
| costs.
2. Government orders limiting the
use of butterfat in ice cream making
and banning the sale Of whipping
cream.
Higher Subsidies Ordered.
Mr.. Bowles put the higher sub
sides into effect, but Mr.. Anderson,
who was to have issued the ice
cream and whipping cream orders,
withheld action on them.
The cabinet officer has contended
it would be difficult to enforce the
orders, particularly among the
thousands of smaller distributors of
milk and cream. He also argued
that the only effective way to get
more butter is to increase the price
sufficiently to enable butter makers
to compete with whipping cream
and ice cream sales.
Mr.. Anderson has suggested a g.
cent-a-pound increase in the retail
price of butter.
Mr.. Bowles, Mr.. Porter and Secre-
tary Anderson. who have been in
disagreement ever since the dairy
program was announced, first ap-
peared before the special House
committee investigating shortages
yesterday. There they heard Chair
man Pace declare that there is
utter and complete disagreement
between the Agriculture Department
and the OPA in every respect"
Reluctant to Comment.
Later Mr.. Bowles and Mr.. Porter
conferred for nearly two hours in
Secretary Anderson's office. All
were reluctant to comment after
ward. But Mr.. Bowles, asked spe-
cifically about the proposed orders
on ice cream and whipping cream,
replied to reporter:
They're in Anderson's Office"
The stabilization chief refused to
elaborate. but his reply led to specu-
lation that he either had directed
Mr.. Anderson to issue the orders-as
he has authority to door that the
Secretary had agreed to drop his op-
position and order them into effect.
Whatever steps the Government
may deside on to spur tagging butter
output, valuable time already has
been lost. The season of greatest
milk and butterfat production be-
gins in April and ends in August. 1t
is during these months that extra
supplies of butter usually are pro-
duced-supplies which are stored to
tide consumers over the winter Pc
riod of low production.
