A new formula for fixing the
annual Federal payment to the
District, based on the amount OF
Federally owned land withdrawn
from real estate taxation here,
was under consideration by
congressional leaders of Dis
trict affairs today.
Representative Horan, Republican,
Of Washington, who introduced the
new proposal for establishing the
Federal share in District expenses,
estimated 1t would yield approxi-
mately $12,177,445.
Although no similar bill has yet
been introduced in the Senate, it
is expected the Horan formula will
figure in the joint committee dis
cussions on raising money for the
city. Mr.. Hcran, chairman of the
District Subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee, already
has submitted it informally to
Senator Cain for study.
Formula Proposed Earlier.
The new formula bill will thus

would yield an estimated $11, $685.

their common purpose to further
develop, for the reciprocal benefit
Of their peoples, the cordial relations

important and practical methods of
strengthening the policy of solidar-

edly a program of cooperation to

both chiefs of state have agreed
that their respective administrations
must exert all efforts to raise the

tries by increasing productivity and

Arab Appeal for
Free Palestine
British Proposal to
Fuct-Finding Group
Placed on Aqendu
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 1.-The
United Nations Assembly today
overrode Arab protests and
agreed without a record vote to
consider creation of a committee
of inquiry on Palestine.
Arab representatives had taken
the floor one after another to oppose
the British fact-finding proposal,
but no opposing voice was raised
when Assembly President Oswaldo
Aranha of Brazil announced that he
considered the proposal approved
for inclusion on the work sheet of
the extraordinary Palestine session.
Approval of the British proposal
still left the Assembly the task of
settling the even more controversial
question raised by Arab demands
for consideration of Palestine inde-
pendence.
Main Fight Due Later Today.
This was touched on briefly this
morning by Arab leaders, but the
main fight was slated for later in
the day when the Assembly resumes
debate after its lunch recess.
Also awaiting action was grow
ing controversy over Jewish de-
mands for representation in the
Palestine debates here. This ques-
ton will be taken up by the IA
nation Steering Committee after
the agenda debate is finished.
Syria led the fight for inclusion
OF the Palestine independence ques-
ton on the agenda,
The fight was taken to the 55-
nation membership by white-haired
Faris el Khoury, Syrian delegate,
who had joined the representatives
of four other Arab countries in their
losing two-day battle before the
Steering Committee.
The committee rejected the Arab
demands late last night by a vote
of 8 to l.
Two-Thirds Majority Needed.
Ell Khoury told the Assembly that
Syria could not acquiesce in the
committees ruling and urged that
the member nations vote to include
the Arab proposal on their work
sheet for the present extraordinary
Palestine session. A two thirds ma
jority was needed to approve the
proposal.
The battle was renewed in the
midst of these developments:
/. The Political Action COMMITTEES
for Palestine in telegram to Presi-
dent Truman protested United
States opposition to proposals ask
ing the Assembly's Steering Com
mittee to act Immediately for jew
ish participation in debate here.
2. The Political Action Committee
also called on Poland, India, Czech
oslovakia and Ecuador to withdraw
in protest from the Assembly unless
Jews are given voice. Those four
countries yesterday urged immedi-
ate action for admitting Jewish
representatives to the floor.
Jewish Agency Dissatisfied.
3. The official Jewish Agency for
Palestine, through a spokesman,
also expressed dissatisfaction with
the United States position.
The spokesman indicated the
agency differed sharply with the re-
ported American position that Jew
ish representation would not be
necessary If the Assembly's agenda
was confined to creation of fact
finding committee.
The Jewish attack on the Amer
ican position grew out of last nights
debate in which Herschel v. john
son, American representative, urged
that a decision on Jewish represen-
tation be postponed until after the
Assembly had determined whether
the Arab proposal would be included
in the agenda.

And Subsistence Checks
BY George Beveridqe

A considerable number" OF
District student veterans who
collect subsistence allowances
from the Government also are
drawing unemployment pay

Board, charged today.
A preliminary check during the

dents who are getting monthly sub
sistence checks. During the period,
an average of about 4,500 veterans
have been on the unemployment
rolls here.
Money for the jobless claims is
furnished by the Veterans Admin
istration under the GI Bill of Rights,
but issued by the Unemployment
Board. The veterans agency is
sues subsistence payments.
On basis of the check, Mr.. Whar-
ton said his Office now is investigat-
ing every claimant.
Warned by Mall.
At the same time, he is sending
with every check a strongly worded
warning that veterans face prose-
cution for fraudulently accepting
both payments. Titled, Are You
Committing Fraud?' the warning
reads:
I'VE have documentary evidence
that a number of veterans in the
District have applied for anG are

and subsistence allowances at the
same time. This is fraud. Some
of YOU are committing it unknow-
ingly. Many of you are committing
it deliberately. Whatever the rea-
son, you are violating the law and
defrauding the United States Gov
ernment"

Accounting Office, and that the Un-
employment Board is notified of any

II urgently request all of you who
