BY the Assoeioied Press

KANSAS CITY, April 21.-The

ing American dollars to meet the
threat Of Communist words appear
to me losing battle, since words
are so easily coined"
Chicago and Philadelphia, be-
tween them, have been hosts to 16
of the "a Republican conventions.
The decision won't be made until
late today at the end of the first
session of the two-day meeting de-
voted solely to the convention site
and party finances.
Chicago, which has had II COP
conventions, was prepared to offer
$500 downtown hotel rooms and to
underwrite the convention expenses.
Werner w. Schroeder, national
committeeman for Illinois, esti-
mated the expenses would run from
$125 900 to $135, 900.

cago would not enter into competi-
tive bidding"
Philadelphia, out to bring the
party convention there for the fifth

headed by Mayor Bernard Samuel.
Serving as hosts last night at an
open house, the Philadelphians dis
played a certified check for $200, 900
to cover expenses; offered 5000

ropes fashioned into nooses were
found by British authorities to-
day near the spot where two
military jeeps we're ambushed in
Jerusalem by men believed to be
members OF the Jewish under
ground.
The discovery recalled broadcast
threats by 1rgun Zvai Leumi, Jewish
underground organization, to re-
taliate in kind for the hanging OF
four Of its members by British
authorities last week following their
conviction for anti-British violence
Three men were detained after the
ambushing, in which the jeeps were
attacked with grenades and ma
Ichinegun fire near the edge OF
Jerusalem's Jewish quarter. Five
soldiers who were riding In the jeepe
escaped injury, but q civilian was
reported injured.
The nooses were found behind a
wall bordering the road where the
attack occurred.
Two Other Vehicles Blasted.
Two other British military vehicles
were blown up today in continue
ton of new reign of violence in
which IL persons-including 10
British soldiers-were injured
yesterday.
The last vehicle of q military
convoy was blasted by q road mine
about half way between Tel Aviv
and Haifa, slightly injuring the
driver. Another military vehicle was
damaged by road mine about 80
miles west Of Jerusalem, but there
were no casualties.
Six soldiers were injured. when a
bomb was thrown into a motion
picture theater at a leave center
near Nathanya. Four other soldiers
were wounded-one seriously-when

Gunfire Exchanged. ~
At Belt Lidd, a small Jewish COM
munity near Nathanya, a truck
laden with explosives was driven up
to a police billet yesterday and
detonated, but no casualties were
reported.
At the same time police reported
an exchange of gunf1re near Rishon
LIE Zion, south of Tel Aviv, when
two unidentified men attempted to
slip through the barbed wire barrier
around police station. The in
truders escaped, apparently unin-
jured.
Other communities along the
Palestine coastal plain were kept in
a state of tension by periodic ex-
plosions last night which police at
tributed to leaf1et bombs set off by
the underground.
Rumors that the British planned
to execute two other condemned
members Of the underground today
were denied by political authors
ties. The rumors apparently were
started by the transfer of two pris-
oners to Acre prison, but the British
said the condemned men-Moshe
Barazani and Meyer Feinstein-
still were in Jerusalem prison.
5 Reports also persisted that an
other ship loaded with uncertified
Jewish immigrants was approaching
the Palestine coast, but there was
