Limit Of IS Minutes
For COP. Nominating
Talks Recommended
by the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, June 14.-Dele-
gates to the Republican National
Convention will have to spare words
and get to the point when it comes
to speech making.
Walter Hallanan, chairman Of
the Arrangements Committee, said
yesterday the committee has rec
commended the usual Commute
time allotted to nominating speeches
be cut to 15."
Mr.. Hallanan added that "the
recommendation, of course, has to
go to the Rules Committee which
will meet next Monday after the
first recess of the opening days
program. However, we have no
doubt it will be approved by both
the Rules Committee and the con-
vention."
The West Virginia National COM
mitteeman said the new time limi-
tations are expected to speed up
the nomination of the Republican
standard bearer for President.
Nominations on Third Day.
Mr.. Hallanan said it's going to
be difficult job" to choose the
COP nominee and that 1T may
take as long as two or three days"
Under the present arrangements
nominating and balloting for Pres
ident and Vice President are ex-
pected to get under way Wednesday
night, June %, ON the third day OF
the convention.
This hinges" Mr.. Hallanan cau-
toned, "on successful adoption of
a Republican platform in Wednes-
days daytime session"
The National Republican Com
mittee will go into session on
Thursday to draft a platform for
presentation to the convention.
Mr. Halianan, explaining the cut
In time of nominating speeches,
said that in the days before radio
and television" 1t didn't make much
difference If delegate chose to
talk for 80 minutes or more.
But today, with allotted radio
and television time and other such
commitments, We have had to cut
down the time of nominating
speeches in order to meet these
requirements"
Advance Guard on Hand.
He added that his committee has
recommended that the delegates be
limited to not more than four sec
onoing speeches of five minutes
each.
The Republican advance guard
was moving into Philadelphia to-
day, a full week before the '48 con-
clave opens at Convention Hall. A
total of 1904 delegates will be on
hand with nearly $4,000 visitors
housed in hotels and homes In the
downtown area.
Thousands more are expected to
commute daily from points up to
100 miles away.
City officials and merchants were
busy hanging up decorations well
coming the delegates. Along Chest
nut street, which spans the city
from the Delaware River to Upper
Darby, signs are being erected in
honor of each State.
1t will be Philadelphia's first ma
tional convention since the 1910
conclave when Wendell
L. Wlilkie was nominated.
Democrats will follow with their
convention on July II and Henry
Wallace's New Party on July "a.
Both are set for Convention Hall.

BY HE Assoeiatsd Press

CAIRO, June 14.-The Arab
Jewish truce was reported to
have brought quiet to Palestine

tons mediator was on Rhodes
setting up headquarters for ne
gotiations toward lasting peace.
Both Jews and Syrians charged
new violations in Northern Pales-
tine yesterday of the four-week
armistice that began Friday morn
ing under u. N. sponsorship. The
Jews said they had been forced to
fight back. The Syrians threatened
to do so.
But two truce observers, United
States naval officers. got back to
Tel Aviv from the northern front
last night and reported all quiet
there. A Jewish communique said
the fighting stopped yesterday
morning.
Food Convoy Goes Through.
The Jews welcomed 420 inmi-
grants to Tel Aviv last night. They
got their first food convoy in over
seven weeks through from there TO
Jerusalem yesterday, using by.
pass built around Arab .roadblocks.
Both moves created problems for
U. N, truce checkers.
The U. N. mediator, Count
Foike Bernadotte, flew into Rhodes,
Greek Mediterranean island of
Turkey. and said he had word the
Holy Land had "calmed down" He
arrived from Cairo by way OF

tgo back to Cairo tomorrow to see
the Arab League political COM
mittee and then to Tel Aviv Thurs.
day to meet Israeli leaders.

ken the truce with attacks on three
Jewish settlements in Galilee and

Senate Floor Fight
~ the Assoclossd Press

Another fight over the Euro

Senators favoring the full $780,
100000 plan aimed at lacking up
Europe's economy-and halting
communism-are not fully satisfied
with the appropriations committee
action.
The committee voted Saturday
night to put the program on IL
month basis instead OF the Is
months voted by the House. 1t also
restored most of the House cuts. too.
But the funds 1t approved still fail

Marshall and ECA Administrator
Paul G. Hoffman told the committee
last week they would not be satisfied
with anything less than the full pro-
gram.
Strategy Not Disclosed.
They argued that a cut would
weaken the entire program and
lessen hs chances for success. The
program was designed to put West
ern Europe on its feet economically
by 1852. g., -.
The dissatisfied Senators have not
disclosed what they intend to do
to get the full amount authorized
But q fight on the floor of the
Senate is seen as certain when the
foreign aid bill comes up for a vote
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee gathered this morning to
finish up other items In the aid bill
These include funds for China
Japan, Korea, Greece and Turkey
The committee was unanimous IN
voting to put the ECA program
on a 12-month basis. But there
were angry differences over the
amount Of the appropriation.
Several Senators argued for the
full amount-but they were voted
down. There was no record vote OF
the lineup.
Fireworks Expected.
Their next chance to restore the
funds will be on the Senate floor
The committee appeared likely to
finish the foreign aid bill this after
noon and report 1t to the Senate
as quickly as possible.
Then the fireworks In all likeli-
hood will begin again.
Whatever money the Senate does
restore will encounter House OBJ
jections, and the compromise figure
probably will fall short Of the Sen
ate sum.
Meanwhile, the ECA announced
it had allocated its biggest foreign
recovery package 50 far-$95, $40 sos
