Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
said today the 500 Federal Reserve

the present-day appearance of the

The $40 notes circulating now

the scene dates back to 1929 when

Reds Call on u. N. to Order
Palestine Peace Talks

PARIS, Nov. 10 (P).-Soviet Rus
sia called on the Security Council
In secret session today to order
negotiations between Jews and
Arabs for peace in Palestine. &
Soviet Delegate Jakob Malik pre-
sented the Russian proposal when
the Council met to resume discus
sion of the peace plan submitted
yesterday by the acting mediator
DR.. Ralph J. Bunche. DIR. Bunche' S
plan would have converted the
broken truce into an armistice.
The Russian proposal was SUBJ
mitted as an amendment to the
Bunche plan. An official American
spokesman said France has under
taken to sponsor the Bunche plan
The Council spent little time on
Mr.. Malik's amendment. It will be
debated, however, at the next ses-
sion.
A q. N. press spokesman who
attended the Councils closed meet
ing said that, on the suggestion oi
Dmitri Me- nuilsky of the Soviet
Ukraine, future meetings on Pales-
tine will be open to press and pub
lie. United States Delegate Philip
c. Jessup and Alexandra Parodi of
France backed Mr.. Manuilsky's sug-
eestion.
No date was set for the next
meeting on Palestine.
The Malik amendment proposed
omitting the portion of the Bunche
plan which calls for broad demili-
tarized zones In Palestine. Russia s
idea apparently was for freezing the
military situation in the Holy Land

acting mediator, lead to establish

Chest Workers Urged to Raise
Additional $5OO,OOO by Friday

There is nothing wrong with the
generosity of the people of Wash

the workers the average gift has
kept up the desired average of $12,
and very few people have refused to
make contributions.
After all these weeks and all
this effort, and with receptive pub

Before next Fridays general re-

Church Of England
Backs Atom Defense
BY the kssoeioisd Press

LONDON, Nov. 10.-The Church
Of England Assembly approved to-
day the use of atom bombs as a
defensive necessity" against an
aggressor.
Only three delegates out of more
than 400 present voted against this
stand. which was presented in a
report by a special commission of
the church.
DR.. Cyril F. Garbett, Archbishop
of York, said:
The bomb would almost certainly
be used if another war broke out
The temptation will be very great
for the weaker state which possesses
the bomb to use it a few hours be-
fore its possible enemy.
IF possession of the bomb is q
deterrent to war, we have no right
to say beforehand that we shall
never use it,"
The commissions report called
for international control of the
bomb and blamed Russia for block
ing that control up to now.
1t approved dropping the bomb on
military targets, but said 1t should
not be used "as a means of attack
upon objectives in inhabited cities
as 1t was against Hiroshima and

White House Balcony Gets Place

the public to find the new $40 note
more attractive artistically, 'as well
as more acceptably up-to-date in its
White House portraiture."
The so-called back porch of the
Executive Mansion was built earlier
this year. Those who opposed 1t
said it would affect the architectural
beauty of the White House. Mr..
Truman didn't think so and went
ahead with its construction to give
his family privacy when they want
ed a breath of open air.
The balcony is the chief differ
ence showing in the $40 notes, but
there are these other changes:
There are four chimneys now
compared with two in 1929;
The grounds include more trees
and lusher foliage; q deeper green
shows;
The White House flag hangs at
an angle from its pole in the new
