Jewish sources said the attack
showed good planning. The Arab
trccrs appeared to have been well
trained.
The Arabs had spoken of Feb
ruary Is as a possible D-day for
the battle against partition, but
yesterday passed without signs Of
an offensive.
Thirteen Arabs and seven Jews
were killed, however, in scattered
fighting. Since the United Nations
recommended partition of the Holy
Land November 20, more than 1900
have died by violence in this country
Two bridges on Palestine's North
ern and Eastern borders were blown
up and two Arab villages ncar the
Lebanon frontier were attacked.
Jewish sources said the Jewish
militia, Hagana, blasted the bridges
because Grabs had been entering
Palestine across them for service in
the volunteer army against parti-
ton.
They said Hagana attacked the
villages. blowing up more than 20
houses, because of suspicion that the
foreign Arabs had been concentrat-
ing there. Police reported II Arabs,
five of them children, killed in one
village.
The bridges included one leading
across the Jordan from Trans
Jordan northeast of Nablus and an
other leading across headwaters of
that river from Lebanon near Me-
tulla. The villages were Sa 'sa' and

Two members of Congress joined
yesterday with Zionist leaders in an
attack on British and American
policy toward Palestine.
At a two-day emergency meet
ing" of the American Zionist Emer-
gency Council which was continuing
today at the Jewish Community
Center here, Representative Nc
Cormack, Democrat, of Massachu-
sets, and Maloney, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, called on the ad-
ministration to make arms available
to Palestine Jews to make effective
the United Nations decision parti-
tioning the Holy Land.
Sees Danger to U. N.
Declaring that unless partition
is effected successfully, and it must
be done at once, the United Nations
organiza ton will be destroyed, Mr..
Mccormack said the present United
States arms embargo lis tantamount
to arming Arabs to attack Jews and
the authority of the United Ma
tions, while preventing the Jews
from receiving arms to defend
themselves and thus defend the
United Nations"
Our Government has assumed in
the last two months a most repre-
hensible attitude of GOODNESS" to-
ward the partition plan. Mr.. Ma
loney declared President Truman
and his subordinate officials, he as
serted have been carefully refrain
ing from doing anything that might
help transform the United Nations
decision into reality He added
that they "have done plenty in the
other direction.
DIR. Silver Sees Rally of Foes.
DR.. Abba Hillel Silver, council
chairman, accused powerful forces, y
which he said were both inside and
outside Government circles" OF
mobilizing for a last determined
attack" on the partition plan.
DR.. Emanuel Neumann of New
York said British policy aims to
leave Palestine "in a state of chaos
and expose it to all the horrors of
an ayoidable war
Dr. Neumann, who is president
of the Zionist Organization of
America, accused the British Of con-
spring to establish within Pales-
tine large Arab forces fully armed,
drawn from the regular military
establishment of the Arab states
to be hurled against the Jews OF
Palestine at the appropriate mo-
ment."

Chinese Reds Demand
Neutral 10 Negotiate
Release Of a Marines
BY the Assoeiofed Press

SHANG GHAI, Feb. 16.-The
Chinese Communists demand a
neutral" go-between to arrange a
parley for release of four American
Marines they hold captive.
This information was taken to
Tsingtao by wartime intelligence
officer, Capt. John Bristow, %, OF
Santa Barbara, Calf. who met the
Reds in the little Shantung port of
Haiyang two weeks ago.
A reliable informant told this
story today:
Capt. Bristow landed from an
American destroyer in small boat.
He met Communist spokesman on
the beach. The American, who
speaks Chinese we'll, was told the
four Marines were safe and well. He
asked for their immediate transfer
to the ship. The Communists re-
piled that this would have to be ar
ranged by "a neutral delegate
Weather Delays Conference.
Admiral Charles M Cooke, jr,
commander of United States naval
forces in the Western Pacific, and
American Ambassador John Leigh
ton Stuart are scheduled to meet in
Nanking within "a hours to discuss
tie next step. Bad weather which
grounded planes throughout China
prevented their departure today.
Capt. Bristow, the Shanghai in
formant said, arranged through vii
layers near Tsingtao to make his
beach contact with the reds.
Haiyang is small harbor 30
miles northeast of Tsingtao and
about 10 miles east of Laiyang,
where five Marines were captured
Christmas day.
A communist radio broadcast Fri
day said one of the five, Pic.
Charles j. Brayton, jr., of Cover
nors Island, N. Y, was fatally
wounded. The four captives are
CorpL William L. Pollard, Fort
Worth; Pfc. Carol w. Dickerson,
Olathe, Kans.; Pvt. Robert Hart,
Pittsburgh, and Pfc. Thomas Kapo-
dlStrla, Buffalo, N. Y.
Evacuation Report Discounted.
Meantime, talk of evacuating
Americans from Tsingtao was
revived but responsible sources
scoffed.
There unquestionably is care
full, prearranged plan for removing
United States nationals to safety in
an emergency. But the Reds seem
no nearer doing this than they
have for two years.
Tsingtao is the base of the United
States Western Pacific fleet, and
the Reds do not want any fight
with the United States Navy or
! Marines.

fresh and emotionally tense music
are understandable to most listen
ers."
But the Communist Party big
wigs in Moscow had this to say
about the music of Mr.. Khacha-
turian and the six other composers,
according to a dispatch from Mos
COW last Wednesday:
The resolution accused the
named composers of holding a rot
ten theory according to which the
people do not understand music.
This theory, it said, has caused
some composers and music critics to
be separated from the people by a
Chinese wall.
The resolution explained that the
Journalist trend was one which en-
gendered in composers an obsession
with intricate instrumental SYM
phonic forms to the neglect of opera,
choral music and folk songs"
On the idea of folk songs, the
Soviet Embassy's article about Mr..
Khachaturian said, on the other
hand, that he gets many letters from
his countrymen in Armenia ex-
pressing appreciation of his music
"in which the vivid national coloring
of their native Armenia is embodied
with spirit and mastery in fine and
finished musical canvases."
The article quotes this composer
as telling how he recently completed
three arias in which the words are
from Armenian folk songs"
The theme of all three is love,
that brings poetry and beauty into
life" he said
Talking about another work, a
new symphonic poem, he is quoted
as saying: MY purpose was to ex-
press the Joy of victory, the opti-
mism of Soviet citizens looking for
ward confidently to their future"
There were no current reports
from Moscow on the present status
of Mr.. Khachaturian's optimism.

1t will end. One thing is sure: If
we are defeated the Jews must be
prepared for reprisals."
Azzam Pasha said the proposed
Jewish state in Palestine would not
serve the Jews themselves. Thou
sands of Jews in Moslem countries,
who formerly lived in peace, will
find no more peace, he said.
I'VE could have reached a peace
full solution through negotiations,
but America did not want it this
way" he continued. IF America
wants solution now, let her disarm
the Palestine Jews and we will dis
arm the Palestine Arabs. If she
cannot do that, let her send 100000

By the Associated Presx

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Kaiser-
Frazer Corp. today filed a $7,762, 500
suit against the Cleveland banking
firm of Otis & Co. 1t charged re-
pudiation of a contract to purchase
337 500 shares of the automobile
company's common stock at $1150
a share
The suit, filed in New York Su-
preme Court, asked payment Of
$3,881 $50 under the contract and
sought damages of a like amount,
contending Otis inspired a
Kaiser-Frazer stockholder to bring
suit against the concern in Detroit.
In Cleveland today Otis & Co.
said refusal of Kaiser Frazer direc-
tors to restore to the company treas
urv $2,500,000 used to purchase 1885,
200 shares of Kaiser-Frazer stock
before the new offering was a COM
pelling factor in the decision to
withdraw from the underwriting.
Didn't Exercise Option.
The Otis statement said:
KAISER Frazer Corp. was unable
to comply with a number of i'm
portant conditions of their contract
with us. We were, therefore, un-
willing to remain party to a
transaction that had become con-
trary to the public interest and to
that of Kaiser Frazer Corp, itself u
After withdrawing the offering of
1000 shares of new common stock
Otis did not exercise an option for
an additional 100000 shares.
The entire 1,500,000-share issue
was planned to net the automobile
firm $17,22O,625 and permit it to
increase production from 1,100 cars
a day to 1900,
Joint Managers of Syndicate.
Otis and First California Co. OF
San Francisco were joint managers
of syndicate which offered 100000
shares of new Kaiser-Frazer COM
mon stock February 4 and later
withdrew the offering.
The suit made no reference to
Allen & Co. of New York, which was
to have handled 225,OOO shares OF
the 100000. An Allen spokesman
said last night that his company
had been willing at all times to
carry out its part of the deal.
At the time of the withdrawal OF
the offering an Otis spokesman said
briefly "the whole deal is off,"
