|Bernadotte May Seek
Extension Of 4-Week
Truce in Palestine
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

RHODES, June 19.-The possibil-
ity rose today that Count Folke
Bernadotte may ask that the four
week truce in Palestine be extended
Such a request would have to come
through the u. N. Security Council
The question of an extension will
come up, it is believed, if the U. N
mediator fails before the end of the
truce to find a chink in the de-
termined stands Of both Arabs and
Jews through which the basis of
an understanding might be driven
Certainly these people should not
be allowed to go on killing each
other" said one of Count Berna-
dotte's aides today.
The Swedish count arrived at his
headquarters here yesterday to be-
gin task at which 20 other mis-
sions have failed since World War I.
His staff says he is moving eau
tiously, step by step, with perma-
nent peace as the goal.
First Step Held Successful.
The first step, the temporary four
week truce, he considers successful
so far.
U. N. truce observers at Haifa
reported one Arab woman and
one child wounded yesterday in
a four-hour skirmish near NaZ-
areth which resulted from Arab
attempts to harvest in no-man's
land. Jews considered the har-
vesting violation of truce regu-
lations.
British troops were reported
blowing up usable military equip
ment at Haifa, preparatory to
complete departure from Pales-
tine within 10 days. Some OBJ
servers expected the British
would put port installations
under U. N. supervision. Other
wise clashes were feared between
Jews and Arabs who might at
tempt to seize the port area
when the British leave)
There still is almost three weeks
OF the truce remaining. In that
time the count hopes to prepare
with the aid Of Jewish and Arab
experts, study Of the situation and
proposals for final settlement.
Arabs Reject State Of Israel.
The Jews maintain they will keep
their state of Israel. The Arabs
say they will not agree to this.
With both sides taking an ada
mant stand our problem is to find
some point around which negotia-
tions might be pitched" said a
Bernadotte staff member.
In tackling the problem. the
count has freer hand than had
most of the missions which at
tempted a solution. Arabs have
quoted him as saying he was not
bound by previous partition solu-
tions.
His staff believes that If he hits
on a solution which brings the two
contending parties together 1t
would be accepted by the U. N.
The political leaders of both sides
are not. expected to be asked to
come here and make decisions un-
til the count has definite proposals
to make.
A dispatch from Jerusalem said
the food supply situation of that
city's nearly 100000 Jews was ex-

IT, ). Will Call Meetinq
OF Owners, ; Unions
To Avert Ship Strike
BY me A,soeio,ed Press

NEW YORK, June l9-The
United States Cancellation Service
will call . meeting Of shipowner,
and leaders OF three seamen's unions
next week in q effort to settle q
threatened Nationwide maritime
strike.
This was announced tonight by
J. r. Mandelbaum, assistant region
al director of the service. He said
the meeting time would be fixed
Monday
The unions involved are the Ma
tional Maritime Union, the Marine
Engineers Beneficial Association
and the American Radio Associ-
alton, all CIO.
The shipowners will be represent
ed by the American Merchant Ma
rine Institute.
The unions and the shipowners
are under Federal court order
to engage In collective bargaining
Last Monday a Federal court
Judge issued Today injunction
Association and the Marine En-
gineers,
Other Injunctions Obtained.
Similar injunctions were obtain
ed in other districts against the
strike threats of other maritime
unions.
Yesterday Federal Judge John w
Clancy ordered the unions and East
and Gulf Coast operators to resume
contract talks Immediately pending
the end of the, temporary injunc-
tion next Thursday.
Crux OF the dispute Is the union
hiring hall-through which ship
workers are processed for Job va
cancies.
The owners contend the halls are
illegal under the Taft-Hartley law.
The unions are also seeking i'm
proved wages and working con-
ditions.
Meanwhile, Ferdinand Smith, sec
Yetary of the NMU. said the unions
national council voted without au-
thority" to call off the strike under
the injunction.
Council to be Called Back.
Smith said he would call the ma
tional council back into session next
Wednesday because its action was
contrary to the MINUS constitution.
Under the constitution, he said,
strike cannot be called off without
simultaneous meetings in all ports
and a majority vote of the member
ship.
Joseph Curran. president of the
EMU, who opposes Smith in the
union, said the secretarys state
ment was tissue of lies"
He said the Smith statement was
Issued pursuant to the policies of
the Communist Party in an effort
to stampede the union into strike
in defiance of the Government and
he won't get away with it."
The membership of the union
already has decided to abide by the
officers decision even though the
injunction is an employers weapon
and we don't like it," Mr.. Curran
said.
June Is Had Been Strike Date.
Mr.. Curran said Smiths reference
to procedure under the union con-
stitution actually was to a strike
already in progress.
The union, along with six other
waterfront unions. had set June Is
as the date for Joint strike action.
The NMU membership voted ap-
proval of the strike.
The Government is seeking to ex-
tend the 80-day order into the
60-day cooling-off period provided
by the Taft-Hartley law. Judge
Clancy is expected to rule on the
Governments request Thursday.
The three unions are seeking to
have the Governments request for
an 80-day injunction dismissed and
the temporary injunction vacated

the request. This means Count
Bernadotte, for the present, will
have four-vessel patrol force in
stead of the six vessels he originally
contemplated.
In lending the destroyers to the
U NJ, the United States made these
stipulations:
/. The vessels must be used only
to transport persons and materials
in connection with the truce or for
observation and reporting duties.
2. The vessels are not authorized
to use force or to stop or board
other ships.

Washington doctors are moving
in fast on culture.
The best proof Of 1t Is the ex-
hibit of 50-odd paintings, ceramics
books, photographs, sculpture and
musical compositions that was on
display during the District Medical
Society's three-day Scientific As
sembly, which closed last night at
the Hotel Statler.
All the works were the BRAIN
children of doctors who are men,
bers of the society. And the crea-
tive urge among the group appears
to be on the upswing here, accord
ing to DR.. Zigmund M. Lebensohn
who was in charge of arranging
the display.
In Europe, 1t isn't at all unusual
for doctor to be an accomplished
violinist, composer or artist, DR.
Lebensohn told a reporter at the
assembly. The cultural arts and
medicine always have gone more or
less hand finland.
But III TINS country, the dOctOl
who dabbled in oils and water colors
has been slightly suspect, DR.. Leben-
sohn said.
Maybe It's the Movies.
Maybe the movies have had some
thing to do with it, but "the public
has always had a picture of the doc
tor as a pipe smoking old gentle
man who carried a little black bag
and maybe went fishing for recrea-
ton Dr. Lebensohn speculated
And the doctor as an artist or a
sculptor just didn't fit into the
picture.
The physician said he thinks
things are changing, though, and
indicated the exhibit as an example
The works just about ran the gamut

One evening, a few days be-
fore the boys were off for
camp, Mr.. Manware called
Maury to his room.
"If you want to, you can be
my boy from now on" the
housefather said. Maury
couldn't answer. He just nod
ded and ran from the room.
Now the future looks bright
for Maury. The pictures with
this story show his happy
days reading to his little
brothers" at the home and
packing with the help of his
Pop to 60 to his new school.
Because you gave to the
Community Chest Federation,
Maury found a square deal in
life. Make sure other kids
like him do. Open your heart

your Red Feather campaign
solicitor reaches you.

After Maury was born, his
father disappeared. Three
years later, his mother died.
The little boy went to live with
his aunt. But with six chill
dren of her own, she had little
time or patience for a seventh.
Maury cried a great deal.
Then one day when his grand
father found him sobbing up
stairs, the elderly man took
the boy to share his own one
room home and pension.
Maury's grandfather was
kind. But caring for a child
was too hard for him. After
a year, he appealed to his
church, and 6-year-old Maury
went to the Episcopal Home
for Children, a Red Feather
agency of the Community
Chest Federation.
He fitted in at the home.
Other children there had
known misfortune, too. They

Stained Trousers Left
For Cleaning May Give
Clue in Two Sayings

A pair Of trousers believed to be
blood stained today supplied the
only new angle in the 13-day-old
Glen Burnie Md murder mystery
The trousers were found in an
Annapolis cleaning shop, where the
proprietor said they had been
cleaned and the owner had failed to
call for them.
Authorities were inclined to dis
miss a possible link between the
trousers and the murder of John H
Mahlan, 25-year- old postal clerk
and his companion, Mary Christine
Kline, near Glen Burnie Friday
night, September IT. Their bodies
we're found miles or more from
the spot where their bullet-punc-
tured and blood-stained auto was
discovered the morning after the
slayings.
Report of Suspect Denied.
Meanwhile, Police Chief John H
Souers, jr., denied reports that a
top suspect had been under sur
veillance for a week Reparts, which
revived the jealousy motive in the
slayings, named young college
student who once had dated Miss
Kline.
Chief Souers said today that con-
siderable progress has been made
in the investigation, but he would
make no definite statement as to
what that progress is.
He admitted that the few clues
they had sifted out of the case still
provided no suspect. IF we had
such a suspect" the chief said. re-
ferring to the report on the college
student, "he would be brought in for
questioning-even if he were my
own brother"
Two filling station employees from
the Glen Burnie area were ques-
toned briefly this morning and re-
leased.
Seven Youths Indicted.
Only one person, a young colored
man, remained under questioning
during the day. He was picked up
last night, police said.
In Baltimore, grand jury indict-
ments were returned yesterday
against seven youths accused Of
breaking into the city morgue to
get pictures of the slain girl.
They were charged with unlaw-
fully entering city building Three
of them, as well as a man not
involved in the first charge, were
accused of having obscene pictures.
Police said the youths got a photo
of Miss Kiine's body, which had
been taken to Baltimore for

Proves Successful

If the two present fringe parking
