as dissimilar as one could wish after
having passed through the more or
less routined formula of the regu-
lar season. In Constitution Hall,
Fred Waring and his Pennsylvan-
ians held forth for good two hours
beginning at 3 O'Clock. At in the
Phillips Gallery the program OF
Mary Howe's works, recently given
at the Arts Club, was repeated and
the evening program in the Ma
tional Gallery of Art offered a re-
cital by the talented pianist, George
Walker.
Waring, who brought the en-
tire cast Of his radio program for
the Washington appearance, stated
that he was not giving q concert
but a show. 1t followed the pat

new numbers and singers giving a

New Craftsmanship
Urged by Flanders
On Business, Labor
BY the Assoeiofed Press

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June H.
American business leaders heard ap-
peals to fight imitation with lower
prices and "a new craftsmanship
on the part of business and organ
lied labor"
Officials of the Nations top firms
gathered for the Harvard Business
School Alumni Conference, an ALL
day forum with the theme-"The
responsibilities of Business Leader
ship"
Jack I. Straus, president of R. H.
Macy g. Co. Inc, of New York, told
the conference:
I'VE must fight for a lower level
Of prices on which depends the
maintenance of a standard of living
adequate to support a prosperous
United States"
Says Government Can Act.
Senator Flanders, Republican, of
Vermont, declared Government can
end imitation but that it would be "a
dangerous process
Senator Flanders termed the re-
cent General Motors wage settle
ment with the CIO United Automo-
bile Workers "statesmanlike" and
asked:
us there really anything else to
fall back on than the development
of new craftsmanship on the part
of business and organized labor?"
Of the General Motors agreement,
Senator Flanders continued:
There is evidence that it is having
its effect on other critical negoti-
ations, which it was feared would
lead to another serious round OF
the inf1ationary spiral. Business
and labor craftsmanship seem to be
catching on. John L. Lewis has yet
to be heard from"
Straus Opposes Price Fixing.
Mr.. Straus told the businessmen
that price-fixing and price MAIN
tenance are dangerous to the COM
munity and inimical to the interests
Of the consumer
lie asserted people IN this coun-
try want better things, better made
things and better looking things,
and they want to pay less for them
so they may enjoy more of them.

"The key to the whole equation is
low prices and greater aggregate
profits produced by lesser unit prof.
its spread over more articles made
and sold"
Richard r. Deupre. president of
Proctor & Gamble, listed these FIVE
points as the primary responsible
tiles of management"
A successful business. one that
earns regular profits; steady en-
ployment: the opportunity Of the
empleye to develop to the fullest
extent of his abilities; the employees
chance to become a capitalist; good

Palestine
Continued From First Page.)

spokesmen said, the Arabs still
were launching heavy attacks
against Mahnayim and Kfar Sold
at pm.
An Amman dispatch said joint
headquarters of the Arab armies had
given commanders in the field au-
thority Ito severely counterattack"
in event of organized Jewish at
tacks." They we're instructed to
ignore individual Incidents" but the
orders apparently left it to the COM
menders to draw the line.
Copies of the order were said to
have been sent to Count Berna-
dotte and the Jewish Agency.
Syrians Reported Attacked.
The Amman headquarters said
Jews attacked the Syrians in the
Nazareth district, on the north side
of the Arab triangle in Central Pal
estine, last night, and also attempted
a raid on Beersheba from nearby
settlements in Southern Palestine.
Muhsen Bey Berazi, acting foreign
minister of Syria, told correspond
ents in Damascus that the Jews had
resumed firing on the Syrian line at
2:30 this morning.
The Syrian complaints apparently
arose from three thrusts which the
Syrians said they made on armistice
eve in which they claimed the cap
ture of 13 Jewish villages and the
killing of more than 26O Jews.
A Syrian communique said one
thrust, not completed until 8 am
yesterday, hour of the truce, was
from the eastern side of the Pales-
tine thumb north of Lake Hula.
Here they said they captured a
string of eight settlements on a
five-mile front and as deep as four
miles from the Palestine frontier.
Supply Road Opened.
Another danger point was the
Jerusalem-T Tel Aviv road past Arab
held Latrun, where an Israel COM
munique said new mountain road
had been completed in the last
hours before the truce to detour the
Arab block on the main highway.
TT may now be revealed" said a
Tel Aviv communique. that the de-
tense army of Israel succeeded in
opening new supply route to Jeru-
salem a few days before the cease
fire order came into effect. Under
cover of the Latrun operation, sap
pers and workmen laid a secondary
road, over which conveys passed
every night on their way to Jersu-
salem, unhindered by the enemy"
Israel already had served notice
it expected free communication into
Jerusalem if it opened a route be-
fore the truce.
In Jerusalem today, however, an
Arab Legion divisional commander
told Count Bernadotte he was pre-
pared to prevent this with artillery
if necessary.
Arab headquarters at Amman out
lined front line positions for the
truce In which it declared an Egyp-

tian spearhead extended northWard
as far as Artuf on the Jerusalem
LYDIA road, apparently athwart the
Jewish detour.
Other Sectors Quiet.
Despite the shaky position OF the
truce, however, Count Bernadotte
visited Jerusalem for five hours to-
day and dispatches from that city
said he had succeeded in calming
the tense atmosphere somewhat. He
saw both Jewish and Arab officials
there.
Tel Aviv dispatches said other Sec
tors, aside from the north, were ap-
parently quiet.
The mediator planned to fly to
Rhodes on his current trip and
establish headquarters for his more
far-reaching peace-making efforts
Then he planned to return to Cairo
Tuesday to begin talks with Arab
representatives in an effort to in
duce them to sit down at the same
table with Israel representatives at
Rhodes.
1t was not considered likely that
such a conference could get under
way in less than a week.
U. S. Will Supply Vessels.
In London, the British Foreign
Office announced that a formal re-
quest" had been received from Count
Bernadotte for the use of British
ships and aircraft in transport work
only in supervising the truce. The
British had not yet given their an
SWer.
American officials in Washington
indicated the United States would
comply with a request for naval pa
troll vessels, small aircraft and ad
ditional Army, Navy and Air Off
GERS to help maintain the truce.
The first group of French observ-
ers was due in Cairo tomorrow.
An American military observer at
Damascus said he visited the Syrian
front yesterday and saw three NOR
tar shells fall into the Syrian line
nine hours after the truce hour, and
saw a plane drop two bombs in the
Jisr Banat Yaacov area II hours

that nothing could or should be
done here until the conflicting Arab
and Jewish charges were investi-
gated.
The general feeling was that
Count Folke Bernadotte, U.N.
mediator had done a good job in
bringing about the truce and he
should be given a free hand to make
it work.
The United States delegation an
nounced three American transport
planes had been assigned to shuttle
Count Bernadotte's military OBJ
servers around the Middle East.
