ency prevailed In the highest quar-
ters, where momentous decisions
were taken without consistent
thought as to their consequences.
The creation of sovereign state
where oppressed Jews could find
refuge, was a sound and humanitar-
ian idea. If it had been attempted
at a time when the United States
was fully armed, and in position
to dictate terms not only to the
Arabs but to all other countries
which depended on us, the present
chaotic conditions and their pros
pect for a new world war could have
been avoided
Lack of understanding.
We have displayed as great a
lack of understanding in regard
to Palestine as we have in regard
to other areas in the world. Instead
of leading, we who made the victory
over the Axis possible have allowed
other powers to lead us.
The partition of Palestine, which
would have been relatively easy at
time when we we're still militarily
strong, became a difficult and deli
cate question after the United Ma
tions was organized and the world
was divided into two blocs, with the
U. S. S. r. playing the role of
villain.
Under the pressure Of postwar
events we have followed vacillating
policy. On the one hand the Chief
Executive was mindful OF the warn
ings of those who watch America S

thusiastic about setting up free

New Czech Constitution
Not Sioned Yet by Benes

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, May 20
.LP,-President Eduard Benes has
not signed Czechoslovakia's new
constitution, and there Is no indica-
ton that he will, it was disclosed
today.
The Presidents failure to approve
formally the peoples democracy
constitution adopted by a purged
Parliament May led to speculation
that he may not continue in ONCE.
The Ministry of Information con-
firmed that DR.. Benes has not yet
signed the new constitution, but
pointed out he has until June to
act.
American Ambassador Laurence A.
Steinhardt says DR.. Benes Is "rela-
lively well, considering his age and
condition"
Mr.. Steinhardt called on DR.. Benes
yesterday at the Presidents country
home in Sezimovo Usti. The Am
bassador carried greetings OF the
foreign diplomatic corps to DR..
Benes on his birthday.

Policy.Framets Worried by Truman's
Hot.and.Cold Policy on Middle East

Jewish state until world conditions
improved. On the other, he was
the target Of tremendous organized
pressure to create the state OF Israel,
regardless of international conse-
quences.
Drawn between these opposite
points of view President Truman
wavered. Civilian advisers in the
White House pointed out to him
that we must honor the pledges
contained in the platforms OF both
parties in 1914 and that we must
be mindful of the tremendous po-
litical powers Of the zionists IN THIS
country.
Knew the Consequences.
At the same time, top-ranking
State Department officials, con-
cerned primarily since June ls47
with solution of European problems
through the Marshall Plan, paid
little attention to the Palestine
question and took no really strong
stand in the matter. Not being pro-
fessional politicians. they surrender
ed easily to the views of the political
staff of the White House, although
they knew that the consequences
might be very serious.
Meanwhile, the Arabs in the
Middle East organized themselves
into a close association for the first
time in many years. They agreed
that, in view of wavering American
policy which in recent weeks has
become definitely partisan to the
Jews, they might be able to defeat
the plan for a Jewish state by
adopting a strong common front.
Economic sanctions do not worry
the Arab leaders. Their standard OF
living requires few things produced
in this country. Military equip
ment can be purchased, if neces-
sary, from Czechoslovakia and even
from the U. S. S. r., regardless OF
any embargo which might be placed
by the United Nations. Marshall
Tito's Moslem representatives, who
are reported to have been sent to
all the countries Of the Arab League,
are said to have assured them on
that score.
Thus a sensitive" situation has
developed and we are likely to be
the scapegoAts. President Truman,
whose own views frequently differ
from those he expresses in official
statements, is fully aware Of the
impasse into which this country has
fallen. Things have gone so far,
however, that he is hard-pressed for
an equitable solution.

Police, Fire Board
Plagued by False
Emergency Calls

A rash of emergency calls from
an anonymous man plagued No. !
precinct and the Fire Board yester-
day, sending two scout cars, two
patrol wagons and q rescue squad
to Tenth and e streets NV.
First 1t was q policeman uncon-
scious In bookstore at that corner
according to the anonymous voice,
which didn't bother to explain what
the policeman was doing in the
bookstore. Next 1t was q policeman
in trouble at the same corner.
Other calls came in rapid success
sion. A fireman was unconscious in
the same bookstore, then a murder.
Finally the caller decided the I'M
conscious fireman was at Tenth and
D streets NV.
All Of the calls were false. Police
said the corner seems to be focal
point for such calls, since others
have been coming in during the
past two weeks.

LONDON, May 29.-Nine members

against the manner in which their
homelands parliamentary election
will be conducted tomorrow, an
Embassy spokesman said.
1t was understood that those re-
signing included the Military and

his deputy.
The Embassy refused to make a

The dissatisfied of1cials indi-
Gated verbally 1t was a protest
against election procedure, a
spokesman at the Embassy said.
"All those withdrawing will be
replaced by new stan from Czecho-

The designations were presented
an hour after other Embassy ON
cials asserted at a news conference
that the single-list election tomor-
row will be free and secret"
They contended opposition parties
had full opportunity to present their
own lists against the government
coalition ticket which Communists
dominate.

Plan for j. n. Force
In Palestine Appears
Headed for Defeat
by the Asseeiased Press

LAKE SUCCESS, May 29.-De-
spite strong American Russian sup
port. a proposal for United Nations
force to stop the Palestine war ap-
peared headed for defeat today.
Security Council President Alex
andre Parodi of France said he
hoped to get vote by tonight. The
plan needs seven Affirmative ballots
in the 1l-nation Council. Only the
United States, Russia. the Soviet
Ukraine, France and Colombia have
supported it.
The introduced proposal
would order the Jews and Arabs, in
cluding Arab governments, to halt
military operations in the Holy
Land within SO hours. Failure to
comply could bring economic sane
tions and the use of an international
army.
If the strong-arm plan fails to
pass, the Council will turn to milder
proposals from Britain, France and
Colombia. They are briefly:
/. Britain wants a four-week
armistice during which final efforts
toward peaceful settlement of Jew
ish-Arab differences would be
pushed. During that time importa-
ton of arms and fighting personnel
into Palestine would be banned.
The Jews already have rejected
the plan in its present form. Can
ada was reported preparing a series
Of amendments in a move to help
its passage.
2. France wants the Council to
concentrate on stopping the warfare
in Jerusalem. The plan would call
on Jews and Arabs to cease fighting
in the Holy City with a threat Of
strong measures if there was not
complete compliance.
3. Colombia asks the Big Five to
consult on measures to enforce COM
pliance with two previously ignored
cease-flre appeals from the Council.

Abuses Of Segregation
In Fire Department

The Federation Of Civic Associa-

Of the Senate Civil Service Com

able conditions permitted" by the

cation policy.
The federation pointed out that
such conditions exist ito the him
drance OF distinguished, efdcient and
gifted Clement Murphy" the de-
partment's chief, who established
the first two companies of colored
firemen here.
The resolution. which was passed

In the public press Of the city been
quoted as enunciating intemperate,

Alley Playground Protested.
The Federation said 1t would Pc
tition Mr.. LANCER for permission to
have q small committee appear.
At its meeting in the board room
of the District Building, the Fed
Grafton passed a second resolution,
also offered by Mr.. Hall, concerning
playground facilities.
This resolution objected to a pro-
posal to establish a playground in
the alley space between Thirteenth,
Fourteenth. S and T streets NV,
on a small tract said to have no
street frontage.
Mr.. Halls document added that
the Recreation Board "manifests a
continuing policy in direct opposi-
ton" to the Presidents civil rights
program and that this evil pattern
of alley recreation for colored chill
dren is grossly discriminatory"
Recreation Center Urged.
On motion Of William o. Outten
of the Kingman Park Civic Associa-
ton, the federation voted to ask the
Commissioners to hear the Recrea-
ton Board on a deficiency appro-
priation request for q recreation
hall at Twenty-fourth street and
Oklahoma avenue NE. Dormitories
would be used as a colored recrea-
ton center. The area has 1l7,0o0
colored residents, and there are no
other suitable facilities In the COM
munity, Mr.. Outten said.
The federation will send a letter
to Speaker Of the House Martin
asking for a vote on the District
home-rule bill at this session of
Congress.

On the Other Hand
When Something Constructive Must
Be Done, Congress Takes Longer

other work of the House, the Ways
and Means Committee met a few
times in closed sessions, heard a few
witnesses, drafted the bill, voted
down its opponents among COM
mittee members and took the mat
ter up with the Rules Committee.
The Rules Committee prepared a
rule that limited debate to three
hours and forbade any amendment
from the floor. Thus gagged, the
House passed the bill in one after
noon.
That's what the House can do,
and how fast it can do it, when it
sets out to do damage. When it
undertakes to do something con-
structive, it takes little more time.
Education Bill is Example.
The education bill, for example,
has been in the hands of the House
leaders for more than a year. Very
extensive hearings were held by
the Committee on Education ano
Labor last summer. Since then the
Senate has acted, passing the bill
sponsored by Senator Taft by a
vote Of So to % and doing it with
out gag rule. But the House COM
mittee hasn't moved.
Nobody among the House leaders
has offered any argument against
the bill, aside from the suggestion
that perhaps the country cannot
afford to save the school system
just now. Speaker Martin has ex-
pressed the opinion that the bill
will pass overwhelmingly If it is
brought to a vote. More people
seem concerned about it than any
thing else before Congress-, he has
said. But he is waiting, he explains
to see how expenditures for defense
will affect the budget. Those ex-
penditures for defense, incidentally
contain certain amount of direct
and indirect aid to education In
Germany, Italy. Greece and China
The Voice of America, for instance
Time passes. The House leaders
wait. They probably will until 1t
Is too late. And If the President
tries to prod them. he's playing
politics"
