licensed interests are selling bever-
ages.

mans resignation or on tonights

rants is illegal.
Reports Called Exaggerated"
Most of the licensed dealers met
with the Mayor and Council two

tests, and book-making establish
ments operating extensively III
hotels, night clubs and other board
walk establishments, Mayor Trimper

Europe Can Recover,
Hartman Believes

Secretary of Commerce Hartman
believes Europe will be able to get
back on its feet, with United States
aid.
The cabinet officer expressed this
opinion yesterday at his first news
conference since returning from
Europe with Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson. The two men made a
study to determine what the two de-
partments could do to assist in the
administration of the bi-Eonal areas
Of Germany.
Mr.. Hartman thus took exception
to the view of Senator Connally,
Democrat. of Texas. who asserted
during the week end that he had
grave doubts over Europe's ability to
work out a program for economic
recovery as suggested by Secretary
M State Marshall
Mr.. Hartman was asked If he
thought Congress should be called
back in the fall to implement the
Marshall plan. He replied that Con-
sress should give 1t top considera-
don on it's return next January.
TThe Secretary commented that it
vas to the United States interest to
see that Europe helps itself and also
receives aid from this country But
he conceded that American funds
could not be made available to Euro
bean countries indefinitely"
: Europe's greatest needs now are
for grain and coal. Given more
food, much-needed coal production,
particularly in the Ruhr, could be
stepped up, the Secretary said. He
ffoted that German industries are
operating at only 38 per cent of pre-
var level, while in France and
Belgium. production is better than
& per cent of prewar.

enlisted the next day.

Hirshberg enlisted in the Navy in

commended for saving man from

China. Captured at Corregidor in
May, 1912, he was prisoner of the

Martial Law Lifted In Palestine

JERUSALEM, (R The Pales- tine government lifted martial law today after Is days of British army rule, officially reported inn posed to check violence by the Jewish underground, over sections of the Holy Land.
 Some 25,000 of Jerusalem's Jews welcomed the end at noon in a virtual holiday spirit. They thronged to the edges of the wire guarded military zone an hour be- forehand to await release. Police had combed their homes for ter rorist suspects during the martial law peiod.
 Martial laws had cut off some 250,000 Jews from the rest of Pal estine. The government proclaimed some success in the hunt for armed Jewish opponents of Britain's man. date policies, but violence con- tinued last night.
 Joyous shouting rose to high pitch as martial law rules expired and grinning troops stood aside. Many soldiers exchanged banter with the Jews as they climbed atop bren gun carriers and watched the Jews themselves roll away the barbed wire that had penned them in.
 ! Shortly before martial law was lifted, Jerusalem military court sentenced to death Moshe Barasani 2l-year-old Jew, for carrying a hand grenade. He had been arrest ed March g near the Jerusalem martial law area.
