ference.
Informed quarters reported that
the committee, at British insist
ence, had agreed that the exiled
Mufti Of Jerusalem should not be a
conference delegate.
On the other side Of the apparent
bargain, some British concessions to
the Arabs were reported this week.
These included British approval of
an Executive Committee plan for
popular election, rather than Brit
ish appointment, of the supreme
Mcslem Council of Palestine, own
ing an estimated $40 1000 900 in Holy
Land property, and British consent
to a new Arab "tax"-such as the
committee has levied on Palestine
Arabs to pay for its work.
Conference Held in Paris.
A Foreign Office spokesman said
Britain, France and the United
States were taking part in a Paris
Conference on immigration sug-
gested by France in response to
British objections "to sailings of
certain ships from French ports to

Strike Threat Denied
ByCards; Not Against
Dodgers Robinson
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May s.-National
Baseball League President Ford
Prick said last night he had been
told by Owner Sam Breadon Of the
st. Louis Cardinals the team had
planned, but had been talked out of,
a strike against Brooklyn's Jackie
Robinson, Negro first baseman-but
this brought quick denials both
from Breadon and Manager Eddie
Dyer Of the Cardinals.
Frick, in a telephone conversa-
ton with the Associated Press, said
that Breadon came to New York
last week and informed him that
he understood there was a move
ment among the Cardinals to strike
in protest during their just-con-
cluded series with the Dodgers If
Robinson was In the lineup.
"I didn't have to talk to the play
ers myself. Mr.. Breadon did the
talking to them. From what he told
me afterward the trouble was
smoothed over. I don't know what
he said to them, who the ring
leader, if any, was, or any other
details" Frick said.
Breadon, in st. Louis, said Il went
to New York last week to see what
could be done to help the ball club,
and a st. Louis reporter with the
club told me he understood there
was some dissatisfaction among Ma
tional League players - not the
Cardinals, mind you-about playing
against Robinson.
II decided to talk the thing over
with some of the men because 1t
would be such terrible thing, and
I brought the matter up with two of
my leading players. was happy to
find there was no dissatisfaction
among the players. They never
intimated that such a thing was
even thought Of"
Dyer called the threat of a strike
against Robinson absurd"
"Mr. Breadon came here from
st. Louis only because he was
alarmed over the poor showing made
by the Cardinals" Dyer said.

Tommy Whelan started it. The
former C. U. halfback called up
to inquire If daylight saving
meant he'd have to turn back his
sun dial, and If so how? And
another thing, what about the
Mats night games. How could
you start q night game in broad
daylight?
Pushing the games back an
hour would keep those unfortu-
nate wretches, the baseball writ
ers. up until the wee hours OF
morning. Husbands not allowed
out after IL pm. would miss the
games, putting dent in attend
ance figures, and 1t might even
bring on an epidemic of sleep
walking on the bases.
A call to the ball yard brought
Cal Griffith post-haste to the

was off in a corner somewhere
chewing his cheroot and ponder
ing the chilly fate of his favorite

We're going to start at the

throwing in a "by sin" or two
for Sound effects. We've been
watching the situation pretty
closely and it'll be dark enough
around $3.50 to start a night game,
so we're gonna turn on the lights
and let 'em 60"
This department had hoped for
a sprinkling, at least. of twilight
games. 1t will come as blow,
too. to those suspicious fraus who,
when hubby says he is off to the

Billy Southworth, manager of the
Boston Braves, tried seven ex- men,
bers of the world champion st.
Louis Cardinals in his lineup last
year and wound up in fourth place.
This year Billy's branched out a
bit, and the spark in his quest for
a Beantown flag comes from the
seventh-place Pittsburgh Pirates of
1946-Bob Elliott.
Playing against his former mates
yesterday. Elliott banged out two
doubles and two singles, and drove
in four runs yesterday to lead the
Braves to a 1875 win over the Bucs
in Boston. The Braves now have
a record of II wins and six defeats,
the same as Chicago's. Brooklyn,
with 10 victories and defeats, is
even in games won lost. but still
retains the top post by 20 percent
age points.
Cubs Get Two Close Games.
The Cubs swept a double-head
from the Phils in Philadelphia, each
by one-run margins. After winning
the opener, 2-1, behind the nine-hit
pitching OF Hank Wyse, the Bruins
staged-a six-run eighth-inning rally
in the nightcap to overcome an early
Philadelphia lead and went on to
win, 81 Andy Pafko's two-run
homer, his third Of the season, cli-

Harry (The Cat) Brecheen, hero
OF the 1916 World Series, pitched the
Cardinals to a 81 victory over the
Dodgers in the first night game of
the season in Brooklyn to enable st.

three-game series.
The Boston Red Sox moved within

A plan for obtaining funds for construction of a cold storage plant at the city dock If the dock IS awarded to the city on its re- cent bid of $7e, ,000, was outlined at a council meeting held last night.
 The plan was presented for study by Mayor Bettinger, who returned yesterday from trip to the States to investigate pos abilities of the contemplated city project.
 After weighing various meth ods of financing he said that bank or bonding methods he had ruled out as too expensive, but that a project loan from the governmental Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation offered a method of financing 8 cold stor- age project.
 He said he knew there were others interested in a cold stor- age plant, some with the idea of raising money through local and outside stock subscriptions but that he felt that if the city really wanted the benefits it would be better to raised the money and assur an income to the city
