New Bomb Explosion
Sets Off 8-Minute
Alarm in Jerusalem
Three Ships Carrying
More Than d 500 Jews
&. Reported Near Coast
(Picture on Page A-4.)
BY the Associated Press

JERUSALEM, Sept. 30.-The
explosion of a bomb outside an
Arab shop near the Jaffa gate
touched off an eight-minute
general alarm today in Jerusa-
lem, still jittery from the bomb
ing of a Haifa police station in
which 10 persons died yesterday.
No casualties were reported from
todays bombing, which police be-
ieved was intended to intimidate
Arab shop owners who have broken
an Arab boycott against trading
with Jews.
Almost simultaneously advices
from Haifa reported that the engine,
tender and two coaches of the Egypt
Express had been derailed by mine
explosion on the Carol -Haifa line
20 miles south of the latter city.
officials said there were no cas-
ualties in this incident either.
Three Ships Near Coast.
Three ships loaded with more than
4,500 Jewish immigrants were re-
ported nearing the Palestine coast
today in an attempt to run the Brit
ish blockade.
Unofficial sources said the ves-
sells were expected to arrive in Pal
estine waters within the next "a
hours. They were tentatively identi-
fed as the 1,000-ton Northlands,
bearing 2,465 Jews, the 600 ton
Paducah, with 1850 aboard, and q
third craft described as a sister
ship of the Despitet, which was
intercepted by the British last week
with 450 visaless refugees.
Turkish authorities had reported
Sunday night that the Northlands
and Paducah, flying the flag OF
Panama and carrying 4,500 Jews
from Bulgaria, had passed through
the Bosphorus ostensibly en- route
to Havana.
GA dispatch from Istanbul TO-
day quoted official sources there
as saying it was believed that
British naval vessels were wait
ing to shadow the refugee ships
when they emerged from the
Dardanelles and it was believed
likely that the ships would be
quickly intercepted if they at
tempted to approach Palestine.
The Admiralty in London. how
ever, said it had mo informa-
ton" indicating that the ships
had already been interceptedJ
Police Station Bombed.
Reports of minor outbreaks of vic.
lence came, meanwhile, from various
sections of Palestine, which was
left in state of tension by the
bombing of the Haifa police station
yesterday. Besides the 10 killed
II were injured.
Two British soldiers were wounded
when a road mine exploded under q
military truck near LYDIA, south.
east of the all-Jewish city of TIE.
Aviv. Four other soldiers investi.
eating the blast escaped injury wher
they were fired on from a passing
automobile. They returned the fire
and 1t was believed one of the oc.
cupatts OF the car was wounded.

1890 INDECENT Rate
Is Set for District al
Freedmen S HOSPITAL
Charge for tuberculosis
Patients Roised From
$50 to 5000 q Day
By Thomos G. Buchanon

The Budget Bureau today set
a. daily rate of 1880 to be
charged the District for every in
digent patient it sends to Freed
mems Hospital for general care.
At the same time. the rate for
tuberculosis patients supported by
District tax funds was raised nearly
100 per cent from $500 to 5000 a
day.
Operating costs at the institution
were reported so high that even
this figure, so per cent above last
years rate Of 1925, is several dol
lars under the estimated expense
of maintaining each patient.
Retroactive to July I.
Announcement of the new fees,
retroactive to July /, was forwarded
today to the District Commissioners.
Budget Bureau officials said the
whole rate structure would be re-
viewed at the end of six months
and might be altered at that time
Included In the final rates of
1880 and 5000, the Budget Bu-
reau points out, is an allowance Of
$1.40 for outpatient care of general
patients and 81 for that OF tubercu-
losis patients.
Thus the care of in-patients alone
costs the District $3.50 and 1920.
No statistics are kept on eligible
outpatients. They are assumed to
bear the same relationship to the
total hospital load as patients, and
the District pays its proportionate
share for the service.
/ Cheaper at Other Hospitals.
AS pointed out last week by The
Star, the new rates are higher
than many patients are paying for
private rooms in other local hos
pitfalls and far above the cost of
other INDECENT cases.
They would have been still higher
in excess of $17-if preliminary
Budget Bureau estimates had been
used to determine the final rate
Seeking to determine the average
cost per patient during the coming
year, fiscal officials set Freedmen s
probable revenue at $2,428, ,003, of
which $2,192, 900 came from a record
Congressional appropriation, 1884,
900 from estimated payments by
private patients and $2,003 from the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice for cadet nurse training.
After deducting charges for non
recurrent expenditures on medical
equipment and for various capital
improvements, and apportioning the
remainder between the general pa
tients and the tuberculosis annex
according to Freedmen's own cost
estimates, the preliminary rates
were obtained by dividing costs
equally among the patients In each
category.
Patient Load Predicted.
A total of 1o2 ,4So general patient
lays and 46,482 tuberculosis patient
days was predicted.
The resulting figures so alarmed
District officials when they learned
of the rates under consideration
that several conferences were held
to give them a chance to air their
views.
As a result of these conferences
the following revisions were made
in the basis of estimating the Dis

BOISE, Idaho.-Senator Taft,

this country must do some
thing to restore normal eco
nomic stability in Europe" but
called a proposed $4,000, ,000,-
600 outlay for this purpose too

In response to a question by
a university Of Idaho student at

said:
What the amount shall be,

600, 900 900 figure seems some
what large to me-"
His idea. the Ohio Senator

President Truman met today
with his cabinet Food Commit
tee and Charles Luckman, chair
man of his Citizens Food Com
mittee, as a preliminary to a full
meeting at the White House to-
morrow morning of the 26-rnem-
Der citizens group.

Committee last week. 1t is to plan
a program for conserving food in
this country to make more avail
able for needy European areas.
The White House said the Presi-
dent will address the citizens group
tomorrow, welcoming them and
starting them off on their work.
Grain Prices Rise Sharply.
Earlier today, Mr.. Truman asked
for support of the business paper
editors of the country in the food
conservation program when he
talked with 10 members of the Ma
tional Conference of Business Paper
Editors during their annual visit to
the White House.
Meanwhile, grim futures prices
rose sharply as the Nations market
opened today, following yesterday
maximum increases.
Wheat trading opened in Chica-
go's Board of Trade with contracts

yesterdays closing quotations. De.
cember wheat was $3.50 to $3.50.

May Export Expensive Food.
One possible way to limit the
infiationary trend in grain prices
due in large part to the big export

tina and Canada were elected by
the United Nations Assembly
today to sit on the Security
Council for two-year terms, but
the contest for a third seat was
indecisive on the first ballot.
A last-minute switch eliminated
Czechoslovakia from the running
and left the Soviet Ukraine and
India competing in a second ballot
run-off.
The second ballot also was indie.
cisive when the Ukraine received %
votes and India "a. Both were far
short of the necessary two-thirds
majority.
The Assembly then adjourned
until 3 pm. when balloting was to
be continued.
Gromyko Engineers Shift.
Earlier in the day, Czechoslovakia
was reported to have had the support
OF both the United States and Rus
sia, as well as the 20 Latin American
Republics. However, Soviet Delegate
Andrei A. Gromyko was reported to
have engineered a shift of the Latin
Americans to the Ukraine.
Jan Masaryk. Czechoslovak For
eign Minister, had waged a persis-
tent behind-the-scenes campaign to
keep his country of the Council,
where 1t would have been in the
middle of the East-West conflict.
In this spot previously Poland has
been the consistent voting partner
of Russia. The tenure of Poland
and two others on the Council ex-
pires December 81.
India and Ukraine Qualify.
On the first ballot Canada re-
ceived Al votes and Argentina Al
three more than the required two
thirds vote. No other country re-
ceived the necessary majority, but
India and the Ukraine qualified for
the run-of by polling the highest
votes.
The first ballot vote for the third
seat was: The Ukraine, 80; India,
20; Czechoslovakia, 8; Uruguay, 8;
Ethiopia, l: Greece, /; Guatemala, /
and the Philippines /.
The agreement between Mr..
Gromyko and the Latin American
countries provided that the Latin
Americans would support the
Ukraine~1n return for Russian back
ing for Argentina. This ruled out
the possibility Of Czechoslovakia
being elected.
Mr.. Masaryk evidently was
pleased by the defeat of Czecho-
slovakia.
