Bernodotte Says Arabs
Need Held Urgently

CAIRO, Aug. S (P.-Count Folke
Bernadotte says help must be ex-
tended quickly to 100000 Arab
refugees Palestine to prevent still
more suffering.
The United Nations mediator said
in Alexandria that he has asked
the Security Council to affirm the
right of the homeless Arabs to re-
turn to Palestine. He added:
"One thing is sure-the need is
enormous and the time is short,
because those people will suffer
still more if we cannot give them
help
In reply to question, Count
Bernadotte said, 1T is quite true
that some of the (Arab) houses in
Jaffa and Haifa at least are al
ready taken by Jewish authorities,
and Jewish private people
He said Israeli authorities are
mot very favorable to the refugees
returning. He said they mentioned
two difficulties: The technical prob
lem of moving people during the
truce and the fact that many Arab
houses have been damaged or de-
stroyed in the fighting.
He said there are some Jewish
refugees, but Israeli Foreign Min
lister Mosne Shertok told him that
they are not numerous and the
problem can be handled easily,
Count Bernadotte said.
In Amman, King Abdullah OF
Trans-Jordan said the question OF
returning the Arab refugees to Pal
estine lis one of the tests to prove
Jewish good faith"

Plane With 81
Reported Safe;
Line SkepticoI
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 5.-Reports spread
through Paris today that the
missing French seaplane with 50
persons aboard has been found
In the South Atlantic. Air France
officials said they were skeptical.
The six-engined craft was lost
Sunday en- route from Martinique
to French South Africa
Officials Of Air France, the owners.
said they could not confirm reports
it had been found.
The semiofficial French Press
Agency quoted Air France Offices In
Marseilles as saying the Latecoere
63l has been found, with all the 40
passengers and IL crewmen aboard
safe. The plane was reported down
l20 miles from where 1t last had
been heard from four days ago.
Later the agency said the report
lacked precision"
Three American B-29 bombers ar
rived at Dakar from Germany to
take part in the search for the
flying boat.
Air France officials said "the
search Is continuing" They said
adyices from the Mariagne Air Base
near Marseille that the craft had
been located were contradicted By

School Exposure Of Communism
.Uroed for Better Americunism

worst OF all forms Of government,
the average American would select
democracy as the best type extant,
it appeared from the Interrogation.
BY not telling the whole, truthful
story about Russia the schools lay
a provocative groundwork that may
in time lead the curious individual
astray, many said.
Miss Bentley told Senate in
vestigating subcommittee she joined
the Communist movement without
twitch of conscience, largely be-
cause she knew nothing about the
advantages of democracy.
Conversely, the majority of those
questioned by The Star felt the
greater evil arose from the mysteri-
Gus attraction a foreign ideology
presented under our current ele-

Truman Still Is Hopeful
OF 0utIawing A-Bomb
By the Associated Press

President Truman said today he
was hopeful for peace and hopeful
the atomic weapon eventually will
be outlawed.
Mr.. Truman refused to comment
on diplomatic negotiations in Mos
COW. He said, however, when asked
about the world outlook that he
was always hopeful for peace.
A reporter said it was three years
ago that he gave an order for the
release of the atomic bomb on Japa-
nese cities and asked if he was still
hopeful it would be outlswed as a
weapon. He replied in the affirma-
tive.
His position has been that the
atomic bomb should be outlawed
after proper safeguards have been
made by the United Nations.
