p y The life of DR.. Ralph J.
Bunche, newly appointed United
Nations mediator in the Palestine
controversy, has been threatened
by the Stern gang here, it was re-
ported from reliable sources last
week.
The tSern gang recently assas-
sinated Count Folk Bernadotte,
whose place was taken by DR..
Bunche, in Jerusalem. To prevent
a second assassination, the Israeli
government has placed a heavy
Jewish guard around DR.. Bunche.
Previously, Bernadotte had been
offered a like guard, but he re-
fused it. Bunche did not request
such a guard, but it was supplied
anyway.
These guards are under direct
orders from David Ben-Gurion,
premier and defense minister of
Israel. He said the guard was pro-
vided whether Bunche wanted it
or not because his country would
be made responsible for any fu-
ture terrorists action. Therefore,
he said, it intended to provide ev-
cry necessary precaution.

ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People had what the state
president, Attorney J. Maynard
Dickerson termed an "encourag-

1t was encouraging in that it
was attended by more delegates
than ever before in the whole his
tory of the annual state confer

it was very poorly attended by

their friends attended any of the
sessions.

conference were reached Satur-
day, but most of them came Sun
day. One of Saturdays outstand-
