u. n. Council Takes Up
Shaky Palestine Truce
AT Special Session
BY the Assoeioied Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 30.-The
Security Council goes into emer-
.gency session today to consider the
United Nations shaky truce in Pal
estine.
Delegates interrupted a month
long recess for the meeting called
by Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Jacob A. Maiik. AS president Of
the Council for August, he acted
after the government Of Israel
asked what the Council was doing
to halt truce violations.
An American delegation spokes-
man said no early instructions had
been received from Washington on
the issue. 1t was presumed the
United States would stand on its
previous statement that violators
were liable to such punishments
as economic sanctions.
Most delegates were surprised by
the sudden call and planned to
await developments before charting
their course of action. At least
three of the regular delegates-Sir
Alexander Cadogan of Britain, AL
exandre Parodi of France and Jose
Arce of Argentina-were reported
either in Europe or en- route to the
September meeting of the U. N.
General Assembly in Paris. All have
alternates here.
The Council agreed August 10 to
hold only emergency sessions at
Lake Success up until September /.
Sir Alexander takes over as Council
president on that date and an
nounced that he hoped no sessions
would be necessary in Paris before
the Assembly opening September 21
All U. N. meetings are being
switched to Europe temporarily as
of September l with activities to
resume here around January l.

anime. There was no reference Il
protests by various groups agains
segregation or other types of re-
ported discrimination against Ne
groes in the armed forces.
Nor was a specific time set fol-
the committee to submit its recon-.
mendations. The executive order
provides simply that the commit
tee will continue to function until
terminated by the President"
Part of Rights Program.
In issuing two executive orders
last July, however, and in SUBJ
sequent message to Congress and in
comments at news conference
President Truman showed clearly
that this was an important part OF
his general civil rights program.
Besides the order for establishing
the Presidents Committee on Equal
ity of Treatment and Opportunity
in the Armed Services, his other
order directed Cabinet officers to see
that there is no discrimination
within the Federal Civil Service be-
cause of race, color, religion c- ma
tional origin.
That order also set up a seven
member FaiF Employment Board in
the Civil Service Commission which
already is required by law to guard
against discrimination in Govern
ment employment.
The next day President Truman
read message to Congress urging
enactment of civil rights legislation
such as anti-lynching and anti-poll
tax bills, measures against discrifn-
ination, and moves for home rule
and presidential election suffrage in
the District.
Touched Off Fight by South.
That message and the two exec
utive orders touched off an even
more bitter mo surrender" fight by
many Southern Democrats in and
out of Congress.
The President declared at a news
conference several days later that
one goal of his equality of oppor-
tunity and treatment" order was
the elimination of segregation in
the armed services.
The Army's racial relations policy
was defended early this month by
Negro leader who is civilian aide
to Secretary of the Army Royal.
Negro consultants to the National
Defense Establishment countered by
criticizing what they said was Mr.

Mr.. Hope said that potatoes, the
most troublesome item on the sup
port list, will be supported at only
so per cent of parity in 1949. He said
it was. doubtful If Congress will
cfange the present law next year
since 1t would be too late then to
accomplish much. He alse.said that
as4ong as the International situation
remains critical, it might be a good
idea to stockpile staple foods as well
as metals and other strategic COM
modities.
In discussing with more than &c
farm editors the problems that now
beset American agriculture, Gov
Dewey asked for sincere thought or
how to finance the machinery that
will be necessary to preserve the
family size farm.
Illustrating with gestures how his
new field chopper mows hay, chops
it and blows it into a wagon, all in
one operation, the Governor said
this wonderful" machine cost
nearly $4,000 and is beyond the
price of many small farmers. He
described his 486-acre dairy farm
as the smallest possible unit fol-
complete mechanization.
Genius Is Needed.
He said it will require genius
somewhere to figure out how tc

problems, Charles Worcester o1

8. A closer coordination of exist
ing agricultural agencies, with the
possibility of combining some OF
the services of the old AAA incen-
tive pay program with the Soil
Conservation Service.
Discussing soil conservation, edi-
tors from all sections of the country
declared that farmers now are
standing 40 deep in line" waiting
for technicians to help them build
their soil.
1t was the opinion of many that
lower payments could be made
farmers for carrying out certain
soil building practices under the
Triple A, now a part~of the Pro-
duction and Marketing Administra-
ton, and more funds be provided
for technicians through the, local
soil conservation districts
Gov. Dewey commented that $10,-
900 was appropriated in New York
to hire college students during the
summer months to assist techni-
clans in State districts. He said
much progress had been made in
this way in planning farms.
Call for incentives.
The opinion also was expressed
by some editors that subsidies might
be necessary to rebuild the Nations
livestock industry. 1t was pointed
out that with grain and feed prices
nigh large numbers of dairy calves
are going to the slaughter. markets
and that some incentive must be
applied to keep these animals or
the, farms. -
