Arab Underground
Reported Increasing
Palestine Activities
By the Assoeiofed Press

JERUSALEM, Oct. 15.-Palestine
police sources said today that Arab
underground groups were becoming
increasingly active in the Holy Land
as result of Arab dissatisfaction
with United Nations proposals to
partition Palestine.
Police sources believe the recent
bombings of the consulates of the
United States, Sweden and Poland
in Jerusalem were intended as Arab
protests against nations supporting
partition of Palestine into independ-
ent Jewish and Arab states.
An Arab informant has asserted
that the consulates of France and
Czechoslovakia are next on the list"
Palestine Jews were heartened by
Russian Endorsement of the parti-
ton proposal but Falastin, an Arab
newspaper, expressed Arab displeas-
ure with a headline: "Dictatorial
Communist Russia supports parti-
ton and Jewish state Jointly with
imperalist-capitalist America"
In Baghdad, Acting Foreign Min
lister Abdul Ilah Hafidh said in an
interview that there had been no
movement of 1raqi troops in connec-
ton with the Arab Leagues recent
decision to move troops up to Pales-
tines borders.
In Cairo, reliable informants said
several thousand men to reinforce
the Egyptian garrison in Sinai
peninsula south of Palestine would
begin moving today to implement
the Arab League decision.

either, or both, of these. Mrs. De-
witt hopes not. What she hopes
will come of it, instead, is singing
career that will last for the next
several years.
Mrs. Dewitt is the Capitol The
aters new vocalist, successor to
Lynn Allison as the girl in the
overtures, and sometimes in the
flnales. She is the first ex-teacher
to have such job around town.
She is quite thrilled with the
change, she admits, but there is
something about being teacher
that gets into the heart. 1t was
not with unalloyed joy that she
departed her old elementary class
room in Arlington, Va. If her old
students would like to know 1t, and
maybe even work up a reciprocal
emotion, she will miss them. Mrs.
Dewitt is still in her mid-tWentleS
and she did not teach long enough
to learn that perhaps, with time,
other peoples children could become
difficult to bear. If not actually
unbearable.
X X
In way, as a vocalist at the
Capitol Theater, Mrs. Dewitt will
still be a part of the educational
system.
1t is a good way, too, if an
indirect one.
She is taking over the family
professional phases during the next
several years while her ex-servlce-
man husband, James Dewitt, gets
his degree in medicine.
This Mrs Dewitt says, "is a
sort of family joke. 1t is a good
Joke. but it could have been a Wry
one if we had let it. You see, when
we fell in love tat Mount Union
College back in Ohio before the
war, we agreed that I would not
have a singing career after all.
Jimmy was to be the career one
in the family, the generally ap-
proved arrangement. The war
changed that. After three years IN
the Navy, he came back yearning
to Study medicine That takes time,
and time takes living. and living
takes money That is where
temporary career for me came into
the picture again. I thought OF
singing once, as singers always do,
but teaching turned out to be the
far more likely profession, until this
Capitol Theater job came along

thought of anything else. 1t always
seemed to her that she would just
go on singing from church choirs
and soloist assignments, through col
lege musical rganizations-on up to
concert and grand opera.
Her first doubts on this score
came when she went to Mount
Union and met Jimmy Dewitt, She
was an English major, reinforcing
her vocal gifts with training in
speech and drama, and he was over
in the school of science where the
nature, and possibly even the quail
ity, of the thinking is different.

it worked out just as they both
/ wanted it too.
/ AS for singing while her husband
struggles with four years of edu-
/ cation at George Washington's med
/ ical school, Mrs Dewitt sometimes
reflects upon that in comparison
with teaching. She is glad, for the
Dewitts, that her minimum 20
weeks in the Capitol's orchestra as
vocalist will pay her considerably
more than she earned in 40 weeks
of teaching. AS a reflection on the
teachers pay situation, she thinks
of it in less happy terms.
! This, of course, sets Mrs. Dewitt
rather apart among singers one
meets in the run of writing about
show business. Most of them are
concerned almost entirely with their
own futures, with never thought
for such things as teachers pay,
education for democracy, and the
like.
It gives the casual proflist Of
such types the feeling that she is
more interesting than the usual
singer who sits across the table at
luncheon
/
1t is inevitable that one must ask
Mrs. Dewitt, resuming her career,
what she intends to do when her
husband has finished his medical
schooling and has started to prac-
tice.
I'll be the wife of DR.. James De-
witt" she says.

lost her anyway, and anyone who
ever has heard her, can only say
it will be pleasant to hear her sing
