JERUSALEM, (P)-Bombs kill ed l2 Arabs and wounded 81 in Jerusalem and Jaffa attacks Sat urday.
 Two anti-personnel bombs were tossed into the teeming Arab mar ket place before Jerusalems an cient Damascus Gate, killing six
 A bomb tossed from a speeding truck at a coffeehouse in all-Arab Jaffa killed six more Arabs and injured 40 others.
 The Holy Land death toll in Jewish-Arab fighting since the United Nations decision to parti- ton Palestine rose to 210.
 Eye-witnesses at Jaffa said the bomb was thrown from an army truck driven by Jews who entered from the direction of all-Jewish Tel Aviv.
 In Jerusalem's old city police fired machine guns over the heads of the milling Arab crowd after the explosions. Witnesses said the bombs came from two Jewish taxis. The blast damaged two buses. Two of the Jerusalem dead were women.
 Outside the old city's gate an Arab mob assaulted a British con- stable, who was slightly injured, and fired on a uniformed Jewish policeman. British armored cars proWled the area.
 With the Holy Lands commun- al fighting in it's l4th consecutive day, the Arab communities count ed 97 dead; the Jews, l04. In addi- ton, six Britons, two Armenians and one Mauritian soldier have been slain. Deaths in all the Mid dle East totaled 326.

MOIOtOv's Blast Deadlocks; Ends Big 4 Conference

LONDON, (P) - The foreign ministers session scheduled for Saturday was postponed until to- day on British initiative, in order to allow tempers to cool after Fri day nights violent argument
 The poStponement was announc- ed by the conference secretariat.
 A member of the U. s. delega- ton said it was agreed that an other session Saturday would only result in quick tempers and con fusion. The two day recess would give the ministers time to plan a course of action.
 Molotov was understood to be willing that the sessions continue.
 Some of Marshall's adsisers said privately they believed Molo- toys attack Friday, when he de- nounced the whole range of the western powers policy in Ger many, had killed all hope even for superficial big four agreements on Germany and that little if any , thing could be accomplished by going on there.
 Others cOntended Mar h 1 might better avoid a move to end the conference immediately be- cause of the possibility of the up setting effects throughout Europe of such formal big four break.
 The speech in which, as some western diplomats said, Molotov threw the book" at Marshall, Be- win and Bidault came as sur prise, because delegations of the western powers went into yester-

Pirates Loot Dutch Vessel

HONG KONG, (P) - Pir a e boarded the 4,552-ton Dutch pas senger ship Van HeutZ, robbed the passengers of cash and jewelry valued at hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars and escaped in communicated junks today af- ter temporarily hC lding the cap tain hostage.
 A. H. Elston, director of crim- inal investigation, announced that the vessel was footed and controll- ed by the pirates for about Is hours after it was about four hours out of Hong Kong yesterday on a trip to Swatow, Chinese port about 180 miles northwest of here.
 The vessel returned today to Hong Kong and Elston questioned crew members and passengers. They estimated the pirates num- bered about 25.
 Apparently some of the raiders boarded the ship here disguised as passengers and had a rendezvous with confederates at Bias Bay. They took over the ship at gun point and searched it from bow to stern, holding the captain and of ficers in the ships motorboat. At Chi Leng Point, the pirates left the vessel in the junks and per mitted the captain to row back to the ship.

like" Looms As
 Strong Darkhorse
tBY Jack Bell)

WASHINGTON, (P Political strategists for Governor Dewey and Senator Taft said today they have come to regard Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as potentially the hardest man to beat for the Re- publican Presidential nomination
 Dewey supporters told a report CT the retiring army chief of staff may become the strongest sort of a darkhorse contender if the New York governor is unable to break through the array of major candi- dates and favorite sons early in the convention. The Dewey forces now concede privately this field will block any first ballot nomin- ation at Philadelphia in June.
 Similarly, Taft strategist said in a separate interview the Ohio Senator's packers think Eisen- hover, rather than any of the other most frequently mentioned candidates, may become the man they have to beat to get the nom- ination.
 This concentration on Eisen- hover, expected to retire early next year to become president of Columbia University on June 2, promises to have some effect on the type of campaign conducted by the major candidates.
 All of them, including former Gov. Harold E.. Stassen of Minne- sota, are likely to exert every pos sible effort to force Eisenhower out into the open and get him on the record on national issues as early as possible.

Italian Premier
 Denies Communist "Victory" Claim

ROME, (P)-The government of Premier Alcide de Gasperi de- Saturday as "Without Communist claims of victory in the 48-hour general strike which ended at midnight.
 The Communists asserted they had squeezed an additional 7,700,- ,OOO lire ($13,547,974 in un- employment relief funds out of the government with the strike, which ended after a steely show of government might.
 A communique from the office of the Christian Democrat premier said the Communist claim was unfounded and that the strike end ed where it began.
 The situation in Rome was back to normal Saturday morning with the ending of the strike. Jeep loads of riot police circulated through the city but found no trouble.
 The Communist-do m i n e d chamber of labor of Rome pro- vince, which ordered the work stoppage Wednesday night and called it off Friday night, effec- tive at midnight, used only one word in its daily news bulletin Saturday morning: Victory"
 De Gasperi, on the other hand, declared that large scale public works projects already were in the mill and told reporters that the agreement which ended the strike could have been reached before t began.
 He implied what other members or his party and his party's news paper sad in plain words: That the strike was called for political purposes only. Leftists have been galled ever since De Gasperi toss ed them out of his cabinet last May.

Lewis U.M.W. Out Of A. F. l..

WASt1lNE 1OIN, MT - JOllIl L. Lewis has divorced his 600,000' miners from the AF'L again in move viewed by some labor men as a sign that he intends to play independent in the 1948 Presiden- tial election.
 The 67-year-old Lewis had had his hat in his hand ever since the last AFL convention, when the ex ecutive council refused to go along with him in an all-out fight against the non-Communist provi- sion of the Taft-Hartley act.
 The formal break came Friday night with a typical Lewis gesture of contempt and typical five syllable word which fell like an epithet-" "disaffiliate."
 Green AFL - we disaffiliate Lewis. 12/12/47."
 These words, scraWled in green crayon on a torn-off half sheet oi cheap paper, were all the notice Lewis sent President William Green of the AFL.
 K. C. Adams, editor of the UNIV Journal, told reporters there has been mo deal" with any labor or ganization to combine forces for the election campaign.
 CHARLESTON, w. Va, (P)- Following John L. Lewis "disaf- filiation" of the United Mine Workers from the American Fed eration of Labor, district officers of the UNIV in West Virginia are pulling out of the AFL-state fed eration of labor
 A number of UNIV officials were named to SFL posts when i the mine workers returned to the i fold last September after an ab- sence of 12 years. The UNIV men appear to be resigining such posi- tions as fast as they can get let ! ters in the mail.
 i Saturday, the day after Lewis announced his withdrawal from the AFL, all officials of the UNIV District IT, resigned state fedora ton posts and District IT president William Blizzard said payment of dues to the SFL would cease jim mediately."
 State federation officials, who saw membership in their organiza- ton jump from 5O,OOO to nearly l5O,OO0 with the return of the miners to the SFL last year, had no comment immediately on the situation.

Dealings were largely professional
as the nervous attitude of recent
sessions persisted The announce
ment that CIO unions would seek
third round" wage increases had
been widely anticipated, but did
nothing to dispel concern over con-
gressional prospects for anti-infia-
