JERUSALEM, Aug. 8.-Lt. Gen
Sir Alan Cunningham, British
high commissioner, today said
that Palestine Arab leaders had
turned down an invitation to
nd-table talks in London on
the future of the Holy Land.

said the Arabs also had raised the
questions of reported government
plans to halt unauthorized Jewish
immigration into Palestine and o1
the release of Arab political pris-
oners. The statement gave no de-
tails on these questions.

important government statement

ing within 48 hours. British
government sources said yester-
day the cabinet was considering
far-reaching military plans which
might include a tight blockade
OF the Palestine coast to halt the
flow OF uncertified Jewish immi-
grants and stricter control of
displaced persons camps and
frontiers in Austria, Germany
and Italy to choke the under
ground pipeline feeding the i'm
migrants into Italian ports.)

ment was issued after a 4O-minuts

tive, who returned from Egypt las

ton to the London conferences sais

KLONDIkERS TURN BACK CLOCK FROM
 T0DAY'S TURMOIL
Tale Tales Rampant as Sourdoughs Stampede
 to San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 16.-In an atmosphere of nostalgia and tall tales, the International Sourdoughs of the Klondike gathered yesterday for a four day reunion-their first since 1942 in Seattle.
 Approximately 1,500 persons di- Irectly or indirectly connected with the gold rush to Alaska half century ago are in attendance.
 Old-timer D. E. Griffith of Seattle is one of those who feels keenly about this first postwar get together.
 In a prepared written statement, he said:
 We sourdoughs have been home sick for this reunion for four long years We feel like apologizing for turning back the pages of history 1 50 years, but we enjoy getting away, even for a day or two, from the swamps of selfishness and greed-from the wilderness of poli- tical strife.'
 Griffith drove a dog team be- i tween Skagway and Nome in 1900.
 Were glad to reach back to the land of human sunshine" he went on, where a mans word was his bond where his greeting was gen. uine where you didn't have to count your fingers after a hand shake and where man received ! the full benefit of his initiative"
 Up there in the north" he re- minisced. we were not logged in political duplicity. We were free lot of men and women who fought tkeir way out of a world of econ omic depression to a land of gold en opportunity. And We didn't thumb our way we went the hard way"
 Now we're here to swap yarns and re-live the robust days of virile youth and renew never forgotten friendships" If there are any "whoppers" told at the convention. he added you must bear with us, for while we are growing old and may be child ish. we glory in the fact we can still laugh and sing and drink and he ready for the next big stam- Dede."
