Bernudotte Given Job
Of Setting Time for
Sturt of Truce
BY the Associated Press

CAIRO, June 3.-Arabs and
Jews went on fighting in Pales-
tine today, but a United Nations
mediator got the job of setting
the time for a ceaSe-fire to last
four weeks.
The mediator, Swedish Count
Folke Bernadotte, working out of
Cairo, was told to fix the day and
hour by the U. N. Security Council,
meeting yesterday in Lake Success,
N. Y.
The Councils plea for an armis-
tice had been accepted Tuesday by
both sides-the Israel government
of the Jews and the Arab League
Political Committee for the five
Arab countries with troops in the
Holy Land.
Arabs Want 5-Day Delay.
The United States W>s said to
want the truce to start by Sunday.
But Jamal Husseini of the Pales-
tine Arab Higher Committee told
U. N. neWsmen five days would be
needed to give Arab fighters the
word.
Israel last night called off a
cease-fire order in effect less than
a day on the Jewish side. A Tel
Aviv announcement said the order
had been based on misunder-
standing.
The order was effective at am,
Tel Aviv time, yesterday q pm,
EDIT TuesdeD. The government
said it had taken that to be the
cease-flre d. ldline set by the Sc
curity Coun Il. Later, it explained,
it learned iat hour was merely
the Councils deadline for replies
to resolution calling for an Arab
Jewish cease-flre.
The government said Jewish
forces had been ordered to resume
fire until the time, to be fixed by
U. N. mediator, for both sides to
stop shooting.
Arab Violations Charged.
Earlier. Israel had accused the
Arabs of breaking the presumed
cease-fire and said unless they quit
shooting by sunset, I'VE shall re-
serve full freedom to resume major
operations"
Count Bernadotte was instructed
to consult with Arabs, Jews and
the u. MS Belgian
French truce commission in Jerusa-
lem in deciding when nostilities
should stop.
The mediator announced today
that he would make a flying trip to
Amman, Trans-Jordan; Tel Aviv
and Beirut, and return here tomor-
row.
He said he expected to visit
Amman. King Abdullah's capital,
first, and then go to Tel Aviv,
Israel's leading city and Lebanon's s
capital.
In accepting the U. N. plea, the
Jews listed assumptions" as to its
meaning and the Arabs "explana-
tions" Of their position. Despite this,
Syrian Faris ell Khoury, Council
president, ruled yesterday that the
dcceptanceS were UNCONVENTIONAL.
Differ on immigration.
Israe! assumed, among other
things, that 'ft's freedom to admit
immigrants, regardless of age, will
not be impaired"
The Arab governments said con-
tinued immigration of Jews of mill
tary age would be a big threat to
Arab countries.
They said also that any solution
which does not maintain Palestine's
political unity" would have no
chance of success.
This ran counter to the U. N.
partition plan of last November.
Israel bases its existence partly on
that plan.

Senate Is Expected
To Vote Record Fund
For District Today
Approval Will Send
$99, ,567, 1888 Measure
To Joint Conference

Senate approval or the Dis
trict appropriation bill was be-
lieved likely late today as lead
ers scheduled the measure for
consideration along with several
other money bills.
The reduced but still record
breaking 1949 budget bill was re-
ported out by the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee yesterday with
several def1cit-saving changes.
The city supply bill now totals
$99, ,567 1888. As drafted by a sub
committee headed by Senator Dwor-
shak, Republican, of Idaho, nearly
81 SOC, 900 was Topped off the bill
since it was passed by the House.
Nearly fifty changes were made in
various services, with reductions in
many places, but the Dworshak plan
also provides for improvements
particularly at Gallinger Hospital
not covered in the House bill.
= Would Go to Conference.
Senate action on the bill will send
it to conference with House man
ayers. No difficulty is expected
there. Chairman Koran of the
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tee in charge of the bill was not
enthusiastic about some of the cuts
but indicated a willingness to go
along in the interests of solving the
crucial revenue problem.
Senator Dworshak said he was in
terested in encouraging economies
and eff1ciencies in the city govern
ment. While many of the chages
were dictated by prospects for a
deficit in the new fiscal year, he said
the bill as drafted still is good as to
policies" and that some of the
changes should be made regardless
of revenue shortages.
Changes made in the Senate COM
mittee would approximately balance
the 1949 budget-barring a Govern
ment pay raise, which is intended to
be covered by the proposed and
pending sales tax combined with a
nlgh-leVei' income levy.
Emergency Steps Provided.
But. having to act in advance OF
decisions on the new revenue bill
the Senate group ordered several
emergency steps, in addition to the
budget cut, as means of staving
off a boost in the real estate tax
rate.
These include: Sale of the last re.
manning $1,800,000 of the, wartime
public works investment fund Sc
curities. which would not have been
liquidated under the House bill; a
reduction from S1,000,0O0 to s700,00C
in next years revenue earmarked
for 1949 deficiencies, and use for
current operations of S1.600,000 oil
funds appropriated for construction
projects, the bills for which are not
expected to come due in the coming
fiscal year.
In addition, the Dworshak sub.
committee concluded that estimates
of District officials on the city's in.
come tax receipts in the new fisca
year were too conservative anc
raised them by $370,000.
All these steps were calculated tc
come within s30, 900 of the S5, ,700, ,00t
deficit which faced the subcommittee
when it started redrafting the bill.
Major Changes Made.

has asked the British Trades Union
Congress to postpone until March
20 the in ternational trade union
conference that it has called for
March $40 to discuss labor partici-
patton in carrying on the Marshall
plan for European recovery.
The British, had pressed for dis
cussion of the recovery program
in the World Federation of Trade
Unions, which the AFL has refus-
ed to join. But when Communist
objection blocked this, the TUG
went ahead with call for a special
meeting of unions from those ma
tions participating in the program.
AFL President William Green
last week wired H. V. Tewson,
general secretary of the TUG that
the Federation would be "happy"
to attend if the meeting is delay
ed till the end of March.
Leaders of the AFL have men
toned their surprise at not being
consulted by the British prior to
announcement of the conference,
since they had suggested the neces-
sity for such a meeting as long
ago as November 1947. They also
expressed doubt that adequate con-
