I In the side streets of Jaffa, in
crowded, clamorous bazaars, bust
ness continued as usual. Abb
Abou Dabbeh, cloth merchant and
leader of the Moslem brotherhood
in Jaffa, sat in his narrow little
shop, surrounded by gay bolts OF
silk and cotton, piled to the cell
ing.
His personal view, he said, is
that the Arabs do not want trouble
now. He added that the Arabs in
Jaffa believed that the Govern
ment was instigating the incidents
to show the United Nations that
an Arab-Jewish reapprOachment
was impossible. Even though the
Arab population did not want
trouble, the Jaffa-Tel Aviv Incl
dents were provocative, he said,
and would start a chain of events.
The incidents were provoked by
individuals, not by any Arab or
ganization, remarked a druggist
who had attended morning meet
ing of community leaders, where a
committee of five was delegated
to try to halt the killings.
With surprising unanimity Arabs
declared that the massacre in the
Hawaii Cabaret, which started the
series of assaults and mob killings,
was not committed by Arabs. This
was the same line taken by Irgun
Zvai Leumi, the Jewish under
ground force, whose radio station
said yesterday that the British
had renewed clashes between
Arabs and Jews Gin order that
they might appear in the role of
the third party interested only
in preserving peace. The cabaret
attack, Irgun charged, twas per-
petrated by British agents and
with British arms"
1T is a strange thing" said a
young member of the Arab Club,

border of the city, near the slaugh-
ter houses where another fight
with Jews was reported.
Not a single British soldier or
policeman was in sight in the cen
ter of Jaffa. A few unarmed
Arab constables stood about, MAX
ing no attempt to check the
stream of men.
Laborers, sh0eshine boys and ur-
chins scurried along the streets.
Delivery boys whipped up the
dOnkeys pulling their two-wheeled
carts. Nearly everyone carried
something in his hand-cane,
whip, stick or tool Of his trade.
Again and again crowds of men
collected beneath trees around the
square to swap rumors and escape
the cruel sun.
About 80 a fire engine changed
through the square and went east
on Jerusalem Road. "A great col
umn of gray smoke rose from a
JeWish-Owned warehouse.

Waving to men around the
square to follow, he trotted away.
Only two or three came after
him. He turned to those who stay
ed behind, flipped his hand in a
vulgar, derisive gesture and dis
appeared around a corner.
For half an hour hundreds of
other men and boys had been chat
tering and running from shops,

To Serve Two Years

Internes in Gallinger Hospita

instead of one year under the pres.
ent setup. DR.. Alvin Sweeney, super
intendent of the hospital, announced
today.
The internships will be divided
into three classes-surgery, internal
medicine and general practice
Under the current program, doctors
are given courses in each branch Of

The emphasis of the new system
will be toward specialization. DR.
Sweeney said, with general prac-
tice training available for those
who wish to enter that field
There will be no increase in the
number of internes at the hospital
1t was said. The 43 internes now
there will be released under a stag.
gered program, to be replaced by
new ones. Until now, internes hao
to transfer to another hospital fol
further experience.
DR.. Sweeney believes Gallinger
under the new system, will offel
sufficient study in all fields OF meo:.
cine so that internes will not have
to go into another hospital after
they finished their two years there

You and the Chest Conpuiqn

refusing of any agency for men,
bership in the Washington Com
munity Chest?
The Council can recommend
membership in the Community
Chest and the same privilege and
duty is vested in the Chests Budget
Committee. The actual election is
by the Board of Trustees after
recommendation by the Executive
Committee. The latter organization
can disregard recommendations of
both the Budget Committee and the
Council.
Does the Council of Social Agen-
cies dominate the Washington
Community Chest?
No. The Budget Committee of
the Chest and its Board of Trustees
make all major decisions. The
Council sits in on Budget Commit
tee meetings and takes part in the
discussion of budget and services
The Budget Committee then votes
as a committee of "a. with only one
Council representative present to
swing" the vote.
Only the Board of Trustees of the
Chest can act on final budgets,
policies and the admission of agen-
cies. The board has been made up
Of 244 people. The Council, at most
has only two votes in that group.

FEC Orders Hearinq
On WARL Program
Under Lottery Law

Radio Station WARL. Arlington
today was ordered by the Federal
Communications Commission to JUS
tify a radio quiz program which the
commission said may violate the law
against broadcast of lotteries.
Northern Virginia Broadcasters
Inc. operating WARL. was directed
to appear at a hearing November
81 ito show cause why the broad
casting of the program in question
does not constitute a violation of
the act
The commission order described
the program thus:
"A question is asked over Radio
Station WARL and the answer to
the question is also broadcast imme-
diately thereafter After the answer
is broadcast, name is selected by
chance from the telephone directory
and the person thus selected is
called on the telephone and asked
the same question which has been
broadcast and answered.
If the person called can answer
the question. he receives a cash
prize. If he cannot answer the
question, he receives no prize.
"A substantial number of the
questions asked call for such details
and little-known information that
it is virtually impossible in most
instances for even extremely we'll
read people possessing an excep-
tionally wide range of information
to know the exact answer unless
they were listening to the questions
and answers on station WARL."
Frank U. Fletcher, counsel for
WARL, said the station will con-
tinue the program unless it is or
dered to cease it.
Mr.. Fletcher contends the pro-
gram is not violation of the law
against lottery broadcasts because
he said, the listener does not have
to pay money for a chance to win
and the listener does not have to
be tuned in to the station to answer
the question if he knows the proper
reply.
The commission previously has
taken action against radio pro-
grams involving prize awards when
the procedure appeared to be in
violation of the FEC Act forbidden
the broadcast of information con-
cerning any lottery, gift enterprise
or similar scheme. offering prizes
dependent In whole or in part upon
lot or chance. ="
