Clio Union Expected
To End Meat Strike
Against All But Wilson
BY the Asseeiossd Press

CHICAGO, May 21.-An end of
the 67-day-old Nation wide meat
strike at most of the major
packing plants appeared i'm
minent today.
The CIO United-Packinghouse
Workers Union strike director pre-
dicted that the rank and file vote
on proposals to end the long work
stoppage-on company terms-will
favor immediate return to all plants
except Wilson g. Co.
Locals across the country last
night voted by secret ballot on the
settlement proposals to end the
strike, which has been marked by
violence at several livestock centers.
Results were expected to be an
nounced today at the unions ma
tional headquarters here.
Predict Close Vote.
Herbert March. directing the strike
of about 100000 CIO workers who
quit their jobs March 16 after a dis
pute over wages, said the union had
recommended that strikers vote
against returning to work at Wilson,
one Of the major packers. He pre-
dicted the vote would be close for
returning to work at plants operated
by three other major packers, Swift,
Cudahy and Armour.
The strikers voted on the accept
ance of a 9-cent hourly wage in
crease, retroactive to the March 16
strike call; retention of all seniority
rights, and arbitration with the
company on possible discharge Of
workers accused of unlawful acts
during the prolonged work stop
page.
The 9-cent-an-hour pay increase
was the original offer made by the
packers and also had been recon-
mended by presidential fact-find-
ing board. The union, which had
demanded an increase of 20 cents
an hour, rejected the original offer.
It had been accepted by AFL and
Independent union workers, who re-
mained on the job.
Mr.. March said the union recon-
mended that strikers vote against
returning to Wilson plants because
the company's proposals would
mean the destruction of our union
He said the company has insisted
that it reserve the right to deter
mine unemployment of strikers and
said it would not rehire workers
charged with unlawful acts.
Mr.. March said the company, by
It's terms, cGn rehire who they want
to regardless of seniority rights
Further. he added. the company re
serves the right to fire all members
of our union who have fought to
preserve our union"

Arab Legion at Bocks
Threatening Jews
Escape Route
By DonieI De Luce
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent

Associufed Press forei9n correspondent
WITHIN THE OLD CITY IN JE-
RUSALEM, May 21.-The end Of
four -day-old battle for old walled
Jerusalem seemed to be in sight
today.
Arabs claimed last night that
their forces controlled 80 per cent
of the Old City, seized by their
forces or abandoned by the Jews.
The Jewish Hagana and Irgun
Zvai Leumi had been driven back
to a thin defense line along the
west side of the Jewish quarter.
Midway of that line they were
holed UP for a last stand in the
Belt Yaacov or Hurva Ruin Syn
agogue, on a spot where Jews have
worshipped for TOO years and two
earlier temples have teen destroyed.
Withdrew Yesterday.
The Jews Withdrew into the syn
agogue yesterday with Arab capture
of the Tiferet Israel Synagogue,
Jerusalem's tallest structure, to the
east.
King Abdullah's Trans-Jordan
Arab Legion was at their backs
threatening to block escape. The
Legion had most of the Armenian
quarter, west of the Jewish section.
It was reported unofficially In firm
control of Zion Gate just below that
quarter in the southernmost of Je-
rusalem's 400-year -old walls.
Legionnaires on the gate traded
automatic weapon fire yesterday with
Jews in a school on Mount Zion
few score yards away.
In the New City outside the walls
the Legion had thrust from the
northern limits down Ramallah
road to the Damascus Gate on the
North side of the Old City and last
night was trying to clear the Jews
from Allenby Square opposite the
gate.
Hospital Pounded to Ruins.
West of there Legion gunners
pushed back Jewish defenders from
the north side of the Mea Shearim
quarters, including central prison
the law courts, the Russian Cathe-
dral and the Abyssinian Church.
In the Old City's Jewish quarter
the easternmost MidraSh Porat
Yosef Synagogue and Misghah
Ladach Hospital have been pounded
into virtual ruin by Legion artil-
lery fire, but no sacred structures
outside that quarter seem to have
suffered much damage.

calmly. a +
Although NUMEROUS nonstriking
workers told police last night they
had received anonyfnous telephone
calls warning them not to go back
to work, guardsmen said there was
no violence as the first shift re-
ported.
Some Of the nonstriking workers
told police anonymous callers told
them, "if you think anything of

that there were no important Incl
dents and all appears peaceful this
morning" He said the union local,
whose 4,50O members went on strike
against the Rath Co., March 16 in
wage dispute, was being permitted
to increase its picket lines at the
plant gates.
Union officials have been CO.
operative" the Guard commander
said.
The colonel refused to estimate
the number of production workers
returning to their jobs. The COM
pany started back-to-work move
ment last month and its conten-
ton that it is increasingly success
full has been challenged by the

904 workers entered the plant and
that less than 300 were production
workers. He said 1883 persons

Der as before the Wednesday in
cident."
Although the firm announced
livestock killing would be resumed
today. none had arrived by 9 am
Mr.. Donnell said from II to 20 car
loads Of meat would be shipped

JERUSALEM, May 10 Delayed
With the storming of Zion Gate
before dawn today, 100 young Jews
with an average age of 19 wrote
another page in Holy Jerusalem's
long, biblical and bloody history.
Not since the Turks stormed
Arab Jerusalem nearly 500 years
ago and put the final touch to
the Ottoman Empire have these
ancient walls been taken by force.
At dawn today there were sounds
of the most modern weapons over
walls designed for crossbow warfare
as Hagana "stormers" torpedoed
and penetrated Zion Gate to relieve
the $500 persons in the old city
who were marooned and doomed
to die unless help came.
Barrage Hurled Into Walls.
For the first time, Hagana's strik-
ing force "Palmach" permitted
newsmen to accompany the storm
ers in action. I was one OF four
newsmen who went to the base
headquarters, waited for four hours
in a slit trench 300 yards away
while "softening up" barrage was
hurled into the city walls, and then
rushed with the stormers to the
Zion Gates, already blasted open
by shock troops.
Mortar shells, including the
heaviest ever invented and built in
Tel Aviv, ripped across the holy area
in a pattern that caused fears some
may have damaged shrines OF
Christians, Moslems or Jews.
We followed stormer officer
through a minefield on the valleys
slopes and under the guns Of Jaffa
Gate to reach Mount Zion where
Hagana had mounted its attack.
Din Of Battle Fearsome.
Through the grounds of Fran
ciscan and Benedictine monasteries,
both still under the yellow and
white flags of the pope, to narrow
lane which led to Zion Gate, the
din of battle was fearsome. The
Arabs, driven back by the first
onslaught, had grouped with the
Trans Jordan Arab LEGION rein
forcements and had started an ef-
fort to blast the. Jews out of their
beachhead.
Sniper bullets whined in as we
dashed the last Is yards across the
open space into Zion Gate. The
snipers were Arabs further along on
top of the 700-year-old wall and
in the village of Silwan on the
Mount of Olives. The withdrawing
stormers frolicked and laughed to-
gether-until an officer came and
told them they could not keep their

Along the Lebanese frontier Jewish
troops reported little activity.
They said Lebanese and Syrian
troops were massed across the bor-
der from Upper Galilee.
Exchange Of Wounded Rejected.
A Jewish announcement claimed
that the Arabs had turned down
a Red Cross offer to exchange
wounded taken in Kefar Etzion and
the Old City of Jerusalem.
A spokesman for Israel said yes
terday that all Arab pilots who
have been captured alive are being
treated as prisoners of war. The
statement said Israel expected the
Arabs to give the same considera-
ton to captured Jews.
Yael Shertok, daughter of 1srael's
Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok, is
with her father in Tel Aviv. Re-
ports from Cairo recently said she
was captured by Arabs at Kefar
Etzion.
CLOCKS to BE Advanced.
The state of Israel goes on double
daylight saving time, advancing
clocks two hours tomorrow at mid
night, largely because Of enemy air
raids.
The raids have been starting at
daybreak, which, in the Eastern
Mediterranean, now is before S am.
The change will give workers two
hours more sleep. Local time will
be eight hours, instead Of seven,
ahead of Eastern daylight time.

Urges Anti-Lynchin6 Bill with Teeth in it
ISSEI, NISEI
TRADERS STILL
FACE RED TAPE

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. IL -
Commenting on the Tokyo an
nouncement that soap had lifted
the quotas governing the entry of
American and Allied traders and
businessmen into Japan. State and
Commerce Department officials
this afternoon informed the Wash
ington Office of the JACL Anti
Discrimination Committee that IL
heralization of soap policy will in
no way affect the present proce-
dural steps required of Nisei and
Issei businessmen desiring to ira
vel to Japan.
The soap directive was not
expected to have any immediate
effect In speeding up the passage
Of japanese American and Issei
traders and businessmen to ia
pan, for all applicants will still
be required to observe all the pro-
cedures restricting travel 10 an
occupation area. II was empha-
sized by Commerce Department
officials that not only they but
State Department and Occupa-
ton authorities must give their
approval before anyone can make
the trip. The process usually
requires a month or longer.
One result of the soap order,
however. one official pointed out,
is that Nisei and Issei business
laen will be permitted to remain
in japan for extended periods.
Since August Is, 1947, when plt-
vate trade with Japan was resumed
original entry permits we're valid
for visits of not more than 81 days.
although those who have gone TO
JapN under these conditions us
ually have been able TO secure SC
.iP permission to remain longer II
necessary to conclude particular
transactions.
Under the new regulations, Nisei
end Issei businessmen approved by
the Department of Commerce and
by soap will obtain entry permits
valid initially for visits of 90 days;
and in addition they will be per-
mitted to remain on indefinitely,
to secure entry permits for men,
bers of their families and to estab-
fish more or less permanent resi-
dences in Japan. Their stay, 1t was
pointed out. will depend upon how
we'll they can contribut, to achieve
ment of occupation detectives.
Another result of the soap Or
der is that American and other al
lied nationals who owned proper
ty in Japan prior to the war will
be allowed to go to Japan. or send
representatives there. to act on
their behalf, In connection with all
matters pertaining to their proper
ty rights and interests In that
