Seven years ago, while riding out
side London, Maureen OHara was
thrown from her horse. Her head
hit a tree and she suffered con-
cussion. She hasn't ridden since.
But the movies take no account OF
pretty actresses fears. The script
for "The Foxes of Harrow calls for
dialogue between Maureen and Rex
Harrison while they are riding at
breakneck speed, so Maureen will
have to re-learn her riding pro-
f1ciency.

Arabs Seek 10 Force
Palestine Decision al
Special U. n. Session
By the Assoeiotsd Pres.

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. April u
The Arab League went ahead with
plans today to force a decision on
Palestine at the coming special ses-
sion of the United Nations Assembly
despite .outspoken opposition from
the Unissd States and Great Britain.
Pressing for an independent PAL
estine, Faris El Khoury, Syrian dele
gate and chief Arab spokesman
here, said he would file formal re-
quest within three days to have the
Holy Land issue discussed in fun
at the meeting starting next Mon
day.
The extra session was called to
consider only establishment of a
COMMITTEES OF inquiry to prepare the
case for full-scale debate at the
regular fall meeting. Thus the
added Arab request will have to
muster two-thirds of the SIS member
votes to get on the agenda. This
was considered doubtful in view of
American-British opposition.
I'VE favor full discussion OF
the mandate in all its aspects right
now" Mr.. Ell Khoury said. Per-
haps the General Assembly can
speedily agree on recommendations
to be made to Great Britain"
u. s. Remains Firm.
An American spokesman said the
United States position for limiting
the meeting to procedural points
remained firm. He added that
Chief Delegate Warren r. Austin
was prepared to lay down the
American policy on a committee in
quiry, but would neither touch on
the substance of the case nor vote
to admit any final-discussion item
TO the agenda.
The British took the same atti-
tude.
Regardless OF the outcome of the
test ballot on the Arab proposal,
observers generally agreed that the
newest move blasted hopes OF the
U. N. stan for short meeting Of
two weeks. Even If the Arabs were
eventually voted down, delegates
envisioned hours of debate before
that decision could be taken, and
the touchy mandate issue Of Jewish
immigration was sure to get into
the discussions.
The Arab position was set forth
here as Emil Khouri, head of the
political department of the Arab
higher committee, said in Jerusalem
that the independent Palestine
sought by the Arabs would be pre-
pared to conclude a treaty to pro-
tect Britain's vital interests" in the
Holy Land, but not to grant military
bases.
He planned to meet with Hal
Amin El Husseini, the exiled Mufti
Of Jerusalem, in Cairo today Or to-
morrow, but denied that the Mufti

Mr.. Khouri declared that In the
event Of Palestine independence, the
Arabs would recognize the citizen
ship Of all Jews in Palestine prior to
1918 and of their descendants, but
those brought into Palestine under
force Of British arms since then
would be treated as foreigners"
There now are approximately
SOC, 900 Jews in Palestine against less
than $1,000 in 1919.

 That gives cue to the rest of us, think. How about letting the law have fair chance to prove isn't overly harsh piece of legislation; and, more important, how about getting rid, rapidly poss be of the notion of the class struggle which has been preached in this country for so long?
 This idea that there is irreconcilabe conflict between employer and employed has done more than any other thing, we'd guess, to impede production fomen and proong needless strikes and stir up less hatreds among Americans.
 The worst of it is that it is false notion The truth is that interests of capital and labor dent cal at almost all points.
 Capital craves profits too. But capital must have profits if labor is to get better and better pay and working conditions. On the other hand, it is to cap- tals life-and-death interest to keep labor well paid, so that labor can buy capitals goods.
 The class-conflict idea is ancient Marxan im- portaton from Europe of 80 years ago. It is now preached enthusiastically in this country by the communists. The enlightened labor leaders realized it's falsity and danger long ago, did the more enlightened employers.
 In this new and, we think healthier industrial clim- ate brought in by the Taft-Hartley Act let's do ourse yes the supreme favor of giving the cassconfct hok um the final boot. We'll never regret it..

An unueIStdllulIlS OL Iluhioii nature will tell us that when we stop giving a:d to European na- tions. most of the countries there will become angry at Us. The more aid you give to an indlVid- ual and the longer you give 1t, the more disgruntled ne oec,mes when you stop. This seems to be true of nations. Naturally, now that we have hinted at a little less liberality toward Eur ope, some have yelled selfish and "unsympathetic" at us.
 The more we give and the longer we give it, the greater will grow this scorn toward the giver. When finally we have to stop the flow of our money toward Europe, anger will be the reaction. That was true after World War I. America had been very liberal, but when aid vas halted, up went the tariff bar riers. England campaigned: Buy Within the Empire" Depression followed.
 What Results?
 Following World War II, Amer ica has again been extremely lib- eral We have spent some 70 billion dollars during ea@r of the past two years Help W, gave to England during the ~a. and since will total nearly 40 billion dollars.

All the lend lease, all the UNI BRA relief, all the goods, ali the dollarS-what are the results? England is not even on her feet, much less Europe. The crises seem to mount, with England right now facing her greatest cri- sis since the war. All of these facts must lead us to restudy our aid to Europe, and the possible effect of continuing handouts to So many outstretched palms.

 Obviously, we cannot keep on giving at the rate of 10 billions a year 10 Europe for the next ten, twenty or thirty years. Then what can we do? It is plain comon sense that the best thing we can do is to help Europe fig ure out how she can help her. self. We must help Europe to get up on her own feet, and off !, the necks of American taxpay- CTS. That is the only kind of aid that will ever be worth much to Europe.
 The sooner we get Europe to thinking in terms of helping her self, the better it will be for all of us. We might send her food and money till doomsday, but it would only make America poor and would not make Europe rich. Europe must understand that the problem of rehabilitation is her own problem, first of all, and not entirely ours. We have bathed Europe's wounds, now we must help her find the will and
