Jews Suffer StrotegieoIIy
From Mistaken Ceose-Fne

TEL AVN, Israel, June 3 (P1.-
Israel's mistaken cease-f1re order
appeared today to have cost her
army heavily from strategic stand
point.
The cost came in lost momentum
on two of1ensives and cancellation
of at least one other major drive.
The Jewish state Tuesday night
announced a cease-f1re effective at
8 am. yesterday.
Late yesterday Israel said the
order was an error: She thought the
United Nations Security Council had
set the time for an Arab-Jewish
cessation of hostilities: actually II
had designated it only as the dead
line for replies to an armistice plea
The cease-fire order was counter
Enanded and full-scale battle ordered
resumed as quickly as possible
shortly after sundown last night.
But already the Arab forces hao
had time to group strengthened de-
fAnses in front of sorely threatened
<enin and Tulkarm, two of the three
eey towns to an all-Arab triangle
northeast of here, and perhaps tc
prepare for blows to come in the
sbuth.
This was a hard handicap to q
Jewish army that, already troubled
ky arms and, equipment shortages

To Testify as Senators
Push Voice Inquiry
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Senate investigators hunted new
clues today to nail down blame
for the back-firing Voice of Amer
ica broadcasts to South America
They recalled officials of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co.-which put
on the program for the State De-
partment-for further testimony to-
day. Later they will hear depart
ment representatives.
Senator Bricker, Republican, OF
Ohio told a reporter that "appar-
emily both the State Department
and NBC are trying to duck re-
sponsibility" for the programs which
members of Congress charged were
reflections on the American way
Of life.
BIames State Department.
But Senator Bricker said the re-
sponsibility rests squarely on the
State Department"
Senator Ferguson, Republican, OF
Michigan, another committee men,
ber, said he agrees with Senator
Bricker. He told reporter AL
the scripts on these broadcasts were
furnished to the State Department
four or five days before they were
put on the air in Spanish"
Senator Ferguson said the joint
Senate investigating committees
would "try to learn today just who
IN the State Department or NBC
actually knew what was going on. u
Charles r. Denny, NBC vice
president and general counsel
blamed divided responsibility fol
the Latin American blunders. He
told the group yesterday Congress
should provide for unified Govern
ment operation of the world broad
casts to prevent such splitups In the
future.
Two Passed on Scripts.
Mr.. Denny said Rene Borgia
$100-a-week script writer, and Al
berto Gandero. Spanish-language
program supervisor, were the only
NBC employees who passed on the
scripts which aroused Congress.
Mr.. Denny said NBC already has

In the meantime, DR.. Joseph l..
johnson, dean of the Howard Med
ical School, will be invited to nomi-
nate a member to the Executive
Committee of the Gallinger medical
staff, Mr.. Ewing said.
The FSA chief said he instituted
the plan last year because Of a
terrific shortage of Negro doctors
in this area. The chief bottleneck -
in the present situation is lack Of
adequate hospital facilities where
Howard graduates can train, he said.
Howard already is conducting a
limited teaching program at Freed
mems Hospital, Federal institu-
tion financed by FSA funds.
Rossiter Successor Not Discussed.
Mr.. Ewing said Commissioner

linger. and that the detailed plan
was the outgrowth of his early
agreement.
The group did not discuss pos
sible successor to DR.. p. S. Rossiter,
who will retire September as Gal
linger chief of staff. Neither was
there discussion, he said. of pro-
posal by DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin,
president of George Washington

should be paid by the District gov
ernment instead of by the medical
schools.

said, were:

Methodist Conference
Told Of Church School
Attendance Increase

Delegates to the Baltimore An
nual Conference of the Methodist
Church today heard the report of
their education board, which showed
q II per cent increase In church
school attendance In the last four
years.
In the 10 years before 1914 there
was steady decline In school at
tendance in the Baltimore Confer
ence area, which includes Mary
land, the District of Columbia and
parts of West Virginia. But, since
1914, the total number has increased
from 98,869 to 110A63.
A resolution protesting to Gov.
Lane of Maryland on his signing of
a bill permitting a referendum ON
gambling in Howard, Anne Arundel
and Calvert Counties, was passed at
last nights general session. The
resolution was presented by the
Rev. Asbury Smith of Baltimore.
Protest Bartender Courses.
The conference, meeting at Amer
lean University, also Endorsed the
Capper Bill to regulate advertise
ments of alcoholic beverages. They
also protested using Government
money for teaching veterans to mix
drinks" and deplored the number
of alcoholics in Maryland-35, 900,
. according to survey in Yale Uni
versity, they said.
Bishop Charles Wesley Flint Is
presiding over the four-day confer
ence. The last meetings of the con-
ference, attended by 750 clergymen
and laymen will be held tomorrow.
The conference yesterday rejected
a proposal to add an Endorsement OF
the Presidents Civil Rights Report
to the report of the conferences
peace commission.
The Rev. R. w. Watt of Baltimore
introduced the resolution which
said: I'VE heartily indorse the re-
port of the Presidents Committee on
Civil Rights and stand behind the
President in urging Congress to
speed action on the various civil
rights measures"
Termed Too Political
This statement brought DR.. Fran
els R. Bayley, retired Baltimore pas
tor. to his feet. He termed the reso-
luton "too political" and asked that
1t be voted down. A show OF hands
indicated that most of the delegates
sided with DR.. Bayley.
The statement to which the in
dorsement would have been added
said that the conference should
strive to make democracy function
more adequately in our communities
and in our Nation by seeing that
all our citizens enjoy basic personal
rights and political liberties, re-
gardless of race, creed or color"
Little opposition was encountered
on the next item-a new pension
plan for retired clergymen in the
conference area.
Revised Sliding Scale
The pension plan is different
from those Of previous years in
that a revised sliding scale" OF
amounts paid into the church pen
sion fund by individual churches
and their pastors will be used. Pen
sion payments are on a length OF
service basis, $31 being paid to re-
tired pastor yearly for each year OF
service prior to his retirement. Last
years sum was SIT.
Churches under the new sliding
scale" pay into the pension fund
amounts ranging from per cent
to 26 per cent of the amount paid
to the churches pastors. The pas
tors themselves also contribute on
the basis of sliding scale"
The Rev. D. K. Sturgis, pastor
of the First Methodist. Church,
Bowen road and Alabama avenue
Sc, was elected conference secre-
tary for four-year term.
