.JERUSALEM:
Confused

Time was running out in Palestine,
and with it the hope for averting a
Jewish-Arab civil war for possession
of Jerusalem.
In the waning days before Great
Britain removed her troops from the
Holy Land upon expiration Of the
British mandate on May Is, Pales-
tine had become savagely con-
fused, moribund state.
Bitterly, the United Nations trus-
teeship council virtually abandoned
its efforts to devise an effective plan
to safeguard Jerusalem from ravish-
ment by the warning factions. Dele
gates could not hit upon a scheme
that could be enforced.
Nor was any Arab-Jewish agree
ment in sight which might result in
truce necessary to give any U. N.
plan chance. Like little boy
watching his father trying to get his
kite out of tree, the council looked
hopefully to Jerusalem where the
Red Cross was doing its best to
bring halt to the fighting.
AS far as the threatened invasion
of Palestine by neighboring Arab
states was concerned, no one seemed
able to sum up the situation accur-
ately.
Jews were insisting, in the face of
denials, that Syrian and Lebanese
armies had invaded northern Pales-
tine, and the British were reported
to have rushed troops back into the
country to deal with what they called
seriously deteriorated" situation.
Still an unknown factor in the
rapidly climaxing events was willy
old King Abdullah of Trans-J ordan.
Commander of the finest army in
Arabia, the spike-helmeted Arab Le-
gion, he had been talking big about
invading Palestine from the East.
He had been talking, too, about max
ing himself king Of Palestine. His
ambition is a Middle East amalgam
Of states that would be in the nature
OF a greater Syria.
Experts were not discounting the
role Abdullah and his power-politick-
ing could play in the drama. In the
end he could turn out to be the cat
alytic agent that might bring the I'm
regenerate events in Palestine to a
reasonable, if not happy, conclu-
sion.

COVENANTS:
Just PAPER

In decision which may produce
more extensive reaction than any
designed civil rights legislative pro-
gram, the U. S.. supreme court hand
ed down decision that, in effect,
outlaws so-called restrictive cove
nantS which bar racial or religious
minorities from buying or occupying
property in many areas throughout
the country.
Declaring the decision, Chief Jus
tice Fred Vinson held that enforce
ment of restrictive covenants by
state or federal courts was a viola
ton of the 18th amendment.
That amendment, adopted in 1868,
reads in part: ''No state shall make
or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities
of citizens of the United States .
nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection Of
the laws
The supreme courts decision did
not declare that restrictive cove
nants, as such, are violations of the
constitution; but by ruling that it is
unconstitutional for the courts to en-
force the covenants it reduced them,
legally, to mere scraps of paper.
For the most part, covenants are
agreements entered upon by real
estate promoters and buyers of land
or homes. Purchasers agree not to
sell their land or homes to persons
barred by the covenant, terms Of the
agreement running from an average
of Is or so years to ''perpetuity."

DRAFT BILL:
On the W0y

Yielding to the pressure OF the
times, congress was putting its hand
gingerly to the business of passing
a selective service act which would
give The nations armed forces a
total manpower of slightly more than
two million in two years.
The house armed services commit
tee had approved the measure, after
hearing Defense Secretary James
Forrestal term it an excellent one,
and passed it on to the floor Of the
house for debate.
Thus, for the first time since be-
fore the war, congress was facing
squarely the momentouS issue OF a
national draft. That this was hap
pening during the hair-trigger days
of an election year only served to
underline the apparent urgency OF
the matter.
AS approved by the armed services
committee, the bill would:
Raise total authorized manpower
!" of the armed forces to zoos, 1872
army $4,000, air force $4,000,
navy and marine corps $685.
- Require registration Of men
Lo from 18 through 80, with those
from 10 through 25 liable for two
years service.
. Exempt most veterans from
-. further service, but those under
81 would have to register.
Allow seizure of industrial plants
r. by the government if they re-
fused to give top priorities to arma-
ment orders.
AS it stood, the draft plan was
conceded to have a good chance OF
passage at this session of congress.
But complications were being threat
ened by the senate armed services
committee which seemed inclined to
combine universal military train
ing measure with the draft bill.
The committee was waiting for
Army Secretary Kenneth Royal to
recommend details Of bill to call
161, ,O0o 18-year-olds for years train
ing. They would be taken in addi-
ton to men procured through the
draft.
AS a combination, that didn't look
so good to many Republicans. Rep.
Walter C. Andrews (Rep., N. ",
chairman of the house armed service
committee, called the idea utterly
foolish, inconceivable and not called
for"

OLEO TAX:
Fight ahead

One of the most pressing problems
members of congress have had to
decide this year is whether their po-
itical bread is spread with butter
or oleomargarine.
It is further complicated by the
fact that they might, in choosing
one or the other, be letting the gravy
get away from them.
For good or i'll, however, the house
Of representatives made it's decision.
It passed by a vote Of 260 to 106 a
bill to repeal all federal oleomarga-
rine taxes which have been on the
books for 81 years.
Those taxes are itemized as fol-
lows: 10 cents a pound on colored
oleo, ia cent a pound on uncolored,
$500 a year on manufa cturers, $480
on wholesalers of colored oleo, 5000
on wholesalers of the uncolored
product, $48 on retailers Of colored
oleo and Sc on retailers Of uncolored.
Even if the federal taxes were re-
pealed, it still would be against the
law to sell colored oleo in 20 states.
Nevertheless, the house had rid it.
self of the matter and now it was up
to the senate, where battle royal
was in prospect.
Reason the oleo tax issue has a
stiff fight ahead in the senate is
that senators are elected by voters
Of entire states, rather than by vot-
ers Of districts within the states as
are most representatives.
The result in this case, is split
In the sentiment of constituents of
many senators.
For example, big northern states
such as Illinois, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Ohio, are composed Of con-
sumner cities and producer farms.
The country districts include dairy
farmers and soy bean growers. Con-
sumers in cities want repeal of the
taxes, and so do the soy bean men
whose product is used in manufac-
ture Of oleo. The dairy farmers,
naturally, want the tax to remain.
The dairy interests are strong.
Their supporters in congress have
been able to retain the oleo tax by
the simple process Of shelving any
repeal bills in committee. It hap
pened to the current bill in the house
agricultural committee, but a peti-
ton circulated among house men,
bers forced the bill on to the floor
where it was approved.

Tearfully, the tenant told the OF
ficers yesterday there was no rent
money and her husband was in
North Carolina.
At this point a stranger walked
up, inquired OF the trouble and
promptly offered to lend the money
only he didn't nave it on him.
The deputies said they drove the
man to four houses before he finally
was able to borrow enough to pay
the rent.
Truesdei began filling out a re.
ceipt. He asked the man his name.
The humanitarian was the landlord
himself. The suit had been brought
in his name by his real estate agent

GERMANY:
ExDLOsiue

Germany remained an explosive
issue in the strife-torn International
picture.
AS the titantic East-West struggle
for Berlin continues, reports were
current that four-power talks would
be resumed in an attempt to settle
the crisis there as well as to scan
the entire European situation. The
rumors circulated after top diplo-
mats of the U. S., Britain and
France were closeted in a series
of conferences.
In the biggest air lift in history,
U. S. and British planes continued
to transport food and fuel to the
beleaguered city. The big planes
averaged 4,50O tons of essential
goods daily in their effort to break
the Russian blockade.
Violence broke out in the Rus
sian sector of the capital city as
thousands of Germans jammed
banks to exchange their money for
new Soviet-sponsored currency.
Although she looks like a prim
h o I'm arm, Berlin's woman
mayor, Socialist Louise Schroeder,

to dismiss the anti-Communist
