Union Tables Order

The Columbia Typographical Un.

The action followed a move in
behalf OF some 1000 Government
Printing Office employees, who may
be denied their pay after June 80
unless the union officers sign. The
so-called Red rider, attached to the
Security-Labor appropriation bill
already approved by the House
would withhold the pay OF any Fed
eral employe belonging to a union
whose officers have not signed the
amdavits.

After a Commute walk through

had not suffered any casualties. AS
he spoke, the rattle of automatic

Earlier the 1000 to 1,500 Jews in

Second Hand Reports,
Censorship Hamper 4.
INewsmen in Palestine
Nv the Axsociotsd Press

TEL AVN, Israel, May 19.-News
coverage of the Palestine war has
become so fragmentary and so
second-han these last few days that
correspondents here have no assur-
ance their dispatches are not mis-
informing.
In part this is because of the need
of censorship for military security.
How much Of the rest is due to war
front developments and how much
to the inexperience of the new pub
lie relations and press establishment
in this Jewish headquarters city
cannot Immediately be Judged.
In the last four days dispatches
reporting a succession of air raids
on Tel Aviv give a good example.
It is incorrect to assume from these
that there have been extensive
bombings of the city.
The attacks are described only as
having been made on Tel Aviv be-
cause censorship forbids specific
Identification of the district at
tackled.
Actually, informative reporting Of
the situation on the battlefronts OF
the north, south and east has been
even more difiicult.
Foreign reports, heard here. said
the Syrians from the north and
the Egyptians from the south linked
up at LYDIA. These reports are re-
garded as unlikely, but It simply is
not known here whether they are
true.
It was reported that the Egyptians
pushed an armored column up the
coast past GAIA to within 500 miles
of Tel Aviv. It Is not known here
whether that Is true.
Since the Jewish state proclaimed
its independence last Friday and
the Arab invasions began, no for
eign correspondent here has been
permitted to see any action for first
hand reporting.

raid yesterday, the fourth straight
day of enemy bombings. A direct
hit in yesterdays third raid smashed
a bus station in the middle of town
and the best reports said at least 20
persons were killed.
Some sources said the death toll
for the first four days of air bomb
ings in Tel Aviv might be as high
as 80, with the number of wounded
about four times that figure.
Most of the previous air raids
we're on outlying districts of this
all-Jewish city, but yesterday a
fighter bomber, which civilian OBJ
servers said bore green Egyptian
markings, dived five times to within
a thousand feet of the crowded
square in which the bus station was
situated. It dropped single frag-
mentation bomb~each time.
In between dives it circled over
the city, unchallenged save for light
anti-aircraft fire. One bomb de-
stroyed Tel Aviv's only double
decker bus, beloved of the city's
children. It was the third raid OF
the day.
The raiders returned again by the
light of a nearly full moon and
kept the city under raid alerts until
well after midnight. 1t was the
first night raid on Tel Aviv.
1n Cairo the Egyptian defense
ministry's communique said the
Egyptian air force bombed mill
tary objectives southeast of Tel
Aviv. 1t did not mention an at
tack on the city but conceded the
loss of one plane in yesterdays
air operations, which included
raids on colonies northeast OF
GAIA.
Jews Secure Hold on Acre.
In Acre, the Arab city which sur
rendered yesterday to Hagana, the
main Jewish army, the Jews con-
solidated their victory, failing sus-
picious persons in Acre prison, the
largest in Palestine, and seizing
quantities of arms and munitions.
The city, hard hit by recent
typhoid epidemic, appeared to be
returning to normal today. One
barber shop opened and did rush
business shaving Hagana fighters
who grew three days of Whiskers
before conquering Acre.
The Jews took the city, which had
foiled other invaders - including
Napoleon-for centuries, after 72
hours OF house-to-house and street.
to-street fighting. Acre is outside
the boundaries of the Jewish state
drawn by the United Nations in its
Palestine partition decision last
year.
In Haifa, Hagana took over one
hotel and prepared to take over
another to care for Jewish refugees
fleeing from the Jordan Valley be-
fore Trans-Jordan invaders. One
official estimated that 5000 chill
