Spokesman for Israel
Denies Report Of Deal
With King Abdullah

A local spokesman for the Israeli
government last night branded as
absolutely untrue" = report that the
government was making deal with
King Abdullah OF Trans-Jordan for
a Judeo-Arab federation In Pal
estine
The charge was made yesterday
by Louis Bromfield, writer and CO.
chairman OF the American League
for a Free Palestine, who said he
obtained the information in re-
liable top secret intelligence report
from the Paris headquarters OF 1rgun
Zvai Leumi, Palestine extremist
group.
THE Israeli leaders have always
said, publicly and privately, that they
will stand on the November 70 reso-
luton Of the United Nations for
partition of Palestine" the Israeli
spokesman said.
No Deals With Enemy
THE government will make no
deals with an enemy, and King Abb
dullah is an enemy" he continued.
mo deals are pending with regard
to giving up any rights established
by the United Nations resolutions.
He said that thus far the peace
discussions called by Count Berna-
dotte. UN mediator. have not passed
the exploratory stage and That
neither Israeli Prime Minister David
Ben Gurion nor Foreign Minister
Moshe Shertok had entered into the
discussions.
They are the only people who can
make decisions for Israel ne salo.
Charges Secret Deals.
Mr. Bromfield charged that the
discussions between the Arabs and
israel had resulted in these secret
arrangements:
I, The Israeli would not oppose
the annexation to Trans-Jordan OF
the Negeb region, a part OF southern
.
israel in the original UN partition
2. King Abdullah would receive
the important Arab port OF jana
and a considerable indemnity 1or
Arab losses incurred during the bat
/ tie of Jaffa.
| 3, A free zone would be created
in the port of Haifa for the use Of
King Abdullah.
The intelligence report Mr.. Brom-
field said, quoted Foreign Minister
Shertok as telling Count Bernadotte
that the Israeli government would
not be adamant on the proposition OF
federated Arab-Jewish state IN
Palestine under Abdullah but eau
toned him that all negotiations
must be kept secret"

Strength Essential to Peace.
THE only hope of peace is to be
strong Mr.. Churchill went on, ito
act with other great, freedom loving
nations and to make it plain TO the
aggressor while time remains, that
we should bring the world against
him. and defend ourselves and our
cause by every means should he
strike a felon's blow
Il cannot guarantee that even a
firm, resolute course will ward of
the dangers which now threaten us,
but l am sure that such a course is
not merely the best way but the
only chance of preventing a third
war in which the most fearful
agencies of destruction yet known
to man will be used to the fullest
extent"
Mr.. Churchill said that the United
States provides an excellent example
of the strength to be found in BIZ
partisan and multipartisan direc-
ton of foreign policy.
The Americans are actually in
volved in a presidential election, and
yet in the midst of all that struggle
and party divisions they preserve
what is called bipartisan conduct
of foreign affairs, far above party.
The Government and their opposi-
ton work together through their
leading men in foreign policy.
Both sides are prepared
to vste generous subsidies to Europe
and especially to Britain. Both
sides are supporting strong and ef-
fective defenSes And all
this in the middle of vehement and
bitter party politics"

1T Is ironic to find these issues
in the Republican platform. The
Republicans have had full control of
Congress for two years, but they
have done nothing about any of
them. Well, perhaps I should amend
that statement. They did do some
thing about social security-they
made 1t weaker"
OF course, Mr.. Rieve added, "ths
man who Is nominated for Presi-
dent can sometimes overcome the
weaknesses of the platform. But
unfortunately, We know the Repub-
lican nominee very we'll. We have
heard from him before, even though
he hasn't had much to say for the

bernadotte's Plans
For Palestine Peace
Talks Nearly Ready
Sy the A,soeio,~d Pros,

RHODES, June 26.-Count Folke
Bernadotte is expected to complete
his initial suggestions for Palestine
peace talks this week end.
Jewish and Arab experts, who are
here to give information to the
. United Nations mediator. plan to
leave for Tel Aviv and Cairo Mon
day. Arab experts said the Counts
suggestions probably will be car
ried by members of his staff who
will accompany them.
An Arab source said the sugges-
tions will be considered by q special
session of the Arab League next
week. Other stat members will ac-
company the returning Jewish ex-
perts to Tel Aviv and give the sug-
sestions to Israeli government
chiefs.
Hopes for Rhodes Farley.
A member of Count Bernadotte' s
staff said his initial suggestions are
designed to win an agreement from
Arab and Jewish leaders to come
to Rhodes to discuss permanent
settlement OF the Palestine question
With the four-week truce more
than half over. 1t may be the end OF
next week before Jews and Arabs
decide on peace talks. In that event
there would be only one week Of the
truce remaining. But II agreement
k reached to hold peace confer
ence here, Count Bernadotte Is ex-
pected to ask Jewish and Arab mill
tary forces to extand the truce.
II the County's suggestions for
talks are rejected, there seems little
likelihood that the Arabs and Jews
would agree to q truce extension.
Jewish Convoy Stopped.
Col. Count Thord Bonde. Swedish
chief United Nations military OBJ
server OF the truce, arrived here
today to confer with Count Berna-
dotte, presumably on yesterdays in
cident in the Southern Palestine
desert. After Egyptian forces
stopped q Jewish convoy to Negeb
desert settlements and fired on a
truce mission plane, the UN truce
mission told Jewish authorities they
were free to act as they thought
fit." The Israeli government told
its general staff to take suitable
action in pushing through the con-
voy.
In Tel Aviv, an Israeli army COM
munique reported the Egyptian
army attacked a Jewish settlement
In Southern Palestine with small
arms fire last night.
An official Hagana announcement
said Jewish forces also inflicted 100
casualties on the Arabs and cap
tured munitions in retaking the
Arab village of Elbirwa, miles east
of Acre in North Palestine. This
village was held by small Jewish
garrison before the cease-flre and
was recaptured by Arab troops two
dsvs ago, Hagana said.

Summer time means swimming
time to millions of Americans.
Judging by past seasons, this
summer also will mean the end
of six or seven thousand Ameri-
can lives. Last year $500 persons
met death by drowning in this
country.
Most of these drownings need
not have happened if simple
rules of water safety had been
learned and practiced.
The first step is to learn to
swim, and to swim we'll. Those
who can't swim should not only
stay out of deep water. but also
should stay out of canoes and
other small craft easy to tip over.
Nonswimmers and small boats
form a deadly combination. If
you can't swim, and are in
boat that capsizes, try to cling
to it.
AS children are victims of
many water accidents, much of
the responsibility for preventing
drownings lies with parents. Chill
dren should not be entrusted to
the mercies of water wings or old
tire tubes in deep or unguarded
water They can lose their sup
port and slip off. They should
be encouraged-but not forced
to learn to swim, and they sm.uld
learn in well-guarded pools, un-
der competent adult instructors.
Unfamiliar waters are unsafe
waters. The best places for SWIM
ming are areas, maintained for
that purpose and adequately pro-
tected the well-marked and SUI

The st. Louis Browns pulled

game was cluttered up further by
13 walks, 10 of which were yielded
by Mr.. Grifith's employees.
1t required the Browns less than
four innings to dispose of Early

futile start in three days. They
mauled him for six hits, bopped Tom

1t marked the first triple play at

becoming a familiar routine to the
Browns, who negotiated one against
the Boston Red SoX last Sunday.
Kennedy wasn't as fortunate on
the next smash in his direction, for
in the fifth inning Yost drove
another liner off his leg which forced
the left-hander to leave the game
after yielding another single to
Kozar. Kennedy was credited with
the win. his second.
Meanwhile the Browns were max

nailed Wynn for a run in the second
inning on Kokos' single, a walk to
