Survivors Seen in DC-4 Wreckoge
 Unknown Number
 Believed Alive
 In Newfoundland

Gander, Mild, Sept. 19-(UP)-A missing Belgian transatlantic air. liner, which went down with 45 per- sons aboard, has been located near Gander, and there are at least some survivirs of the crash landing.
 A Coast Guard PBY fioatplane found the missing plane down in rough, wooded country about P miles southwest of this station on the transatlantic air route, and at last reports was seeking to get down on a nearby lake to send ground rescue party to aid the survivors.
 There was no indication how many of the 38 passengers and seven crewmen believed to have been aboard the plane had sur- Wved, nor whether any were in- jured.
 Number Unknown
 The message from the Coast Guard PBY recorded only that the wreck had been located, and that there were survivors-"number un- known" The plane then gave the estimated position, and said that an attempt would be made to land on lake as near the survivors as possible.
 It would be most surprising, con- sidering the extremely rough ter rain in the area in which the Bel gian four-engined plane went down, if there were not injuries among the passengers and crew.
 Ground search parties also were being sent out from Gander, but it would require several hours at best for them to reach the scene through rugged country, and it was believed that a party from the PBY. assuming its crew could find suitable lake on which to land, would be the first to reach the sur- vivors.
 It was said that first aid sup plies and food already had been parachuted to the survivors, and it was passible that, unless ground party could reach the scene fairly quickly, a parachute rescue team, W1AACll 1ldQ UCC1l 0C1Q III EGdQIlSSS the plane first was reported missing at about noon yesterday, would be dropped.
 Missing Since Yesterday
 The big DC-4 had been missing since early yesterday, when its crew advised that 1t was approaching Gander airport in bad weather for a landing.
 The plane was operated by Sa- bena (Societe Anoynme Belgique D'exploitation Aeronautique), a newcomer to the transatlantic run.
 There was no doubt that the plane was down in what may be the worst disaster in commercial avia- ton. Sabena officials in New York expressed hope that 1t had made a successful forced landing at one of the smaller airports and poor com- munications prevented the pilot from notifying Gander Field.
 However, officials at Gander Field said if 1t had landed at any air. port it would have been heard from by this time.

Situation Is Still Tense In Holy Land

HAIFA, Palestine, Aug l9. -CP)- A nationwide offensive which three underground Jewish groups were reported preparing today failed to materialize by early ev- ening, and a comparative quiet settled upon a still tense Holy Land after a troubled weekend.
 The only unusual incident up to D. m. was another operation scram" at the Jerusalem post of- flee which was evacuated for 40 minutes when an anonymous tel ephone call warned the place was to be bombed. This rapidly was becoming routine in a war of nerves.
 A series of spot identity checks" carried out by the mili- tary in Jerusalem in which pas sersby were stopped at road blocks for examination of their papers gave rise to the report that plans had been intercepted for a coOrdinated uprising by the Stern Gang, Irgun Zvai Leumi and Haganah.
 British Army sources denied such a plan had been discovered, however.
 The central calm since yester- day encouraged some of the mod crate Jewish leaders to predict that a corner had been turned in Palestine's turbulent history and that terrorism might be on the doWngrade here.

NEW YORK, Jan. l8.-Manage-
ment and labor remained apart to-
day on the question of submitting
the strike of 100000 electrical work
ers to arbitration, and no immediate
action which might lead to settle
ment OF the wage dispute was in
prospect.
The matter arose Yesterday when
the striking CIO United Electrical
Workers Union, through its presi-
dent, Albert j. Fitzgerald, in Wash.
ington offered to submit the dispute
to limited arbitration.
In his proposal, Mr.. Fitzgerald
specified that the range for any
arbitration award must be between
the Is cents and hour increase which
the workers demand and 1919 cents
the minimum figure of the CIC
steelWorkers in their dispute.
But the Westinghouse Electric
Corp. one of the three firms in
volved in the four-day-old walkout
declared in statement at Pitts
burgh that it had not been notified
by the union of desire to arbitrate
the wage issue.
The other firms affected by the
strike are General Electric and Gen
eral Motors electrical division).
Mr.. Fitzgerald's proposal brought
this comment from Charles F. Will
son, president of General Electric
Naturally We are interested in
the report that he tMr. Fitzgerald)
has offered to consider settlement
of the strike on some basis other
than the unions arbitrary and un-
realistic demand for a 50 per day
increase or acceptance by General
Electric of wage increase granted
by other industries"
There was no immediate reply BY
General Motors to the proposal.

and countercharges were hurled to-
day-with almost the same violence
as tear gas bombs yesterday-in the
wake of bitter battle at the

ing broke out quickly. Steel helmets
of pickets and clubs of police bat
tered skulls and faces. Then the
mask-protected police resorted to
gas bombs. The picket lines broke
and some rs clerical workers entered
the plant.

women. All were released on $50
bond.
Two policemen were treated at
hospitals for injuries, one for teeth
bites on his arm. The union said
