 King Ahdullah of Trans-Jordan urged Arab nations yesterday tc send their armies into Palestine tc battle the Jews as soon as the Bri- tish give up their League of Nations mandate May Is.

 ON LE WIS
 POSTPONED
Government Recommends No Further Punishment
 af Present Time

WASHINGTON, April 23.-tRi- Judge T. Alan Goldsborough today postponed indefinitely any further contempt penalty against John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers Union.
 Goldsborough accepted a govern ment recommendation that he im- pose no further punishment at this time.
 Assistant Attorney General Gra- ham Morrison said no useful pur- pose could be accomplished by new fines against Lewis and the union now.
 Last Wednesday, Goldsborough fined Lewis $2o,0O0 personally and the UNIV $l,400,0O0 for criminal contempt of court. The contempt finding was based on their disregard of'an April court order to stop the coal strike.
 There was also finding by the judge that Lewis and the union were guilty of civil contempt.
 Todays court session was for sen tencing on the civil contempt charge.
 Miners Returning
 Morrison told Goldsborough that 85 percent or more of the soft coal miners have returned to work.
 Therefore. Morrison said, he moved that a civil contempt sentence be put off Indefinitely" The judge agreed.
 Morrison said the government is quite happy over the back -to- work movement in the coal fields.
 Judge Goldsborough said "the court is more than happy to know that the normal situation is being restored"
 The court postpones indefinitely any sentence for civil contempt. :"
 "All right gentlemen" Goldsbor- ougll said without looking toward Lewis. who was in his accustomed place. the matter Is disposed of, and this court is adjourned.
 Speculation before the session was that Goldsborough would let Lewis off easy this time since most of the 100000 members of his union are back at work.

NOLAN ON FISH.TRApS
 COMING UP
Joint Senate -Houe Fisher. ies Committee Makes
 Recommendation

WASHINGTON, April 23.-tR-- A joint Senate House Fisheries Committee recommended today that no laws to cover handling of fish traps in Alaska waters be enacted by this session of Congress.
 It also recommended, however, that there be a law to govern leasing of fish traps while Alaskan statehood is pending. Statehood will give the Territory full control over her natural resources, the committee added, and a permanent policy in handling the traps will then have to be adopted.
 The bill to regulate fish traps in the Territory would provide for immediate reduction in the number of traps held by salmon packers limiting leases to IS years and public auction of traps surrender ed by the packers.
 The committee said that regard lss of the ultimate disposition of fish traps in Alaska, proper use of salmon resources requires that governmental policy be laid down and then followed.
 Government policy should be consistent with the industry's need for season to season stability SC improvements in the canneries which depend upon trap-caught fish may go forward and the risk of being forced to abandon costly plants be minimized, the commit tee said
 Stability is as essential to the economy of Alaska and those de- pendent upon it as to the industry itself.

 Fish Problems
State Departm enf Ap- proves of Representa-
 five on Int. Issues

SEATTLE, April 23.--tR-- Rep Thor G. Tollefson CR-Wash) wired today that the State Department has approved creation of a special assistant to handle international fisheries problems.
 The Congressman reported the State Department decision to Miller Freeman, Seattle trade journal pub fisher and chairman of the Pacific Fisheries conference.
 The conference initiated the move for a fisheries representative at poll icy level in the State Department at a San Francisco meeting last September. The new position has been sought because of the numerous international phases of fishing in Pacific waters and the Boring Sea.
 Fishing industry representatives cited the fact that American, Rus sian and Japanese fishing interests overlap in the Boring Sea and that international problems also arise off the central and South American coasts.
 Tollefson said the new post will be as special assistant to Undersecre- tary of State Robert Lovett.
 The individual is to be named soon," he said. The position will be made on a permanent basis as soon as reorganization of the State Department is completed
 The fisheries conference, which sought the new post, is composed of numerous Pacific coast individuals and groups connected with the in- dustry, including both operators and lator unions.

DRASTIC CHANCES
 MADE IN FISHING FOR PINK SALMON
Regulations Issued Effect. i've in 5. E. Alaska
 Opens August g

The pink salmon, backbone of southeast Alaska's economy, is in danger of virtual extinction and immediate and. vigorous action is necessary if we are to bring back the once great runs of this species, according to an official statement today.
 The fishing industry has recog- nized this danger and at every hear ing held in southeast Alaska centers in 1947 strong pleas were made by fishermen and fish packers alike for a shorter and later pink salmon fish ing season and better enforcement of the fishing laws.
 Responding to these demands, which coincide closely with the views of it's own personnel the Fish and Wildlife Service has issued the most drastic regulations in the his tory of the fisheries to be effective in southeast Alaska during the l943 season.
 Season Opens August 9
 Pink salmon fishing will not open until August 9 and will close Sep tember 3, unless an unforeseen run of strong proportions appears. If this occurs it will be the policy of the Fish and Wildlife Service to permit utilization of the fish to the fullest extent consistent with securing ade- quate escapement to the spawning streams.
 There are several small areas in southeast Alaska where commercial fishing will be permitted earlier than August g. These are the Taku and Stikine rivers and in Snettisham, Tenakee Inlet, Upper Lynn Canal, and in the outside section of the South Prince of Wales District. These sections have important runs of king, sockeye and chun salmon and the number of pinks taken in them is expected to be negligible.
 These areas have been left open to help the fishermen through a hard season and they will remain open so long as the fishermen CO., operate with the Fish and Wiid- life Service to stamp out illegal fish ing activities which have been re- sponsible in large measure for the present depleted state of the pink salmon.
 To aid in keeping illicit fishing out of the picture the fishermen will be required to register their boats with representative of the Fish and Wildlife Service stationed at or near each of the areas open to fishing and will report their catch daily thereafter to this representa- tive until August g.
 This procedure is a requirement. of the 1948 regulations and is de- signed to prevent the taking of tish from closed waters. For their own sake and for the good of all the people of Alaska the fishermen are urgently requested to enter whole heartedly into this vitally necessary conservation program It is pretty much up to them whether the Gov ernment can permit the limited fishing operations atove-described or is forced to close all fishing 10 get the results that must be had Il the pink salmon runs are to recover and bring southeast Alaska back to it's former position in the production of canned salmon.

 WASHINGTON = A damaging piece of paper has just been found in Germany. It is memo, writ ten during the war. asking author ization to erect new creamator- ium~ big enough to burn 40 bodies daily at the Auschwitz slave-labor camp run by I. G. Farben.
 This evidence is expeced to clinch the guilt of I. G. Farben directors for their war guilt in helping to kill thousands of labor CTS drafed by Hitler from occu- pied Europe.
 But just as this evidence was uncovered, strange thing hap pened in Nuremburg. Gen. Tel ford Taylor, hard-working war crimes prosecutor, got instructions to come home. Taylor, at first demurred, but Washington insisted Just out of the hospital after an airplane accident, Taylor obeyed orders and is now back in the USA.
 Simultaneously, certain highly placed Defense chiefs have started a quiet drive to save both the fac- tories and the personnel of I. C. Farben, the Krupps and other big intuition makers.
 This is probably the most sig nificant development in Germany today.

GEN. CLAY OyERRULEs

The shift in policy, it's impor- tant to note, comes direct from Washington. Gen. Lucius Clay, U. s. commander in Germany, has had nothing to do with it. In fact he refused to sign one directive ordering the big munitions cartels extempt from decentralization.
 After the war, it was unanimous Allied policy CD that the big mu- nitions plants should be broken up, @ that Nazi munitions mas ters be punished for war guilt. This was not the Morgenthau plan, but was agreed on by such men as Eisenhower, Secretary of War Stimson and his successor, Secre-
