Tides Cause New
 Threats In FlOdded Areas on Columbia

PORTLAND, - P)-The Army today threw a fresh engineering field command against the raging Columbia river. It was a desper- ate attempt to hold the weakening 100-mile dike front from Portland to the Pacific.
 TWenty-six officers of the Army Engineers Corps rushed to crit ical points in heavily barricaded lower valley as the great river built up pressure with it's second flood wave in a week. The rein forcements, including five lieut. enant colonels, flew in during the night from Fort Belvoir, Va.
 The time was short, the task huge:
 Prevent expension of flood toll by the Columbia and Fraser riv- CTS in Oregon, Washington, Ida ho Montana and Canada's British Columbia-26 dead, 52 missing, about 60,0OO homeless, damage of perhaps $140,000,000.
 The new flood crest was deep into the already hard hit indus trial area around Portland and Vancouver, across the Columbia in Washington.
 The weather teamed with the river. So did the sea. Thermometers scared to seas onal highs throughout the north west Sunday - 90 degrees and above in the mountains where the snowpack melted fast and flowed down to add new waters to tribu- tarieS of the Columbia.
 And this was the day of the seasons highest tide-9 feet.

JUN. Mediator Gave Proposal for Peace To Arabs and Jews
UNDATED PALESTINE
 By the Associated Press

The warning Arab states and Israel received from the United Nations mediator today his pro- posal for peace in Palestine.
 It's up to them to accept or re- ject. The main difference was over immigration. The Jews had "as- stunned" in their qualified accept ance last week that unlimited i'm migration would be allowed dur ing the four week armistice and arms embargo, even of men of fighting age. The Arabs, in their explanations" said no such thing.
 Fighting went on.
 The Israeli cabinet reported to- day it was sharply split over ac- ceptance of a compromise pro- posed by Count Folke Bernadotte, the U.N.'s merchant of peace.
 An Arabic newspaper said Der nadotte previously had said he

BOMBS OPEN UP ICE-JAM IN KOBUK RIVER

The Kobuk River dropped two feet in a period of IS minutes recently, following a bombing of the ice-jam by P-51's of the 64th Fighter Squadron, 57th Fighter Group.
 Richard Collins, CAA official at Shungnak, reported the bombing. He stated the ice was weakened after several 500 pound bombs were dropped by the planes, the ice started to move and water started to drop at once.
 Ice cakes now line the shore, Collins reported. He stated that as soon as conditions permit, he will take a boat and check on conditions both at Shungnak and other sections of the Kobuk. He said there was no great amount of damage at the CAA's station with the exception of one guy wire, which was broken.

Senate Votes Down
 Proposal to Forbid

WASHINGTON, - (P) The Senate, pressing toward action on draft legislation, voted down a proposal to forbid race segrega- ton in the armed services.
 The roll call vote was 67 to 2.
 The vote was not direct test , on how the Senate feels about race segregation. Senate leaders were confronted with the pros pect of filibuster from southern CTS if the proposal was not side tracked.
 They are anxious to get final action on the draft measure which as it stands, leaves to the depart ment of defense the question of whether the army, navy or air force are to have units of mixed races.
 Senator Langer R-ND offered an amendment to prohibit dis crimination or segregation because of race, color or religion in assign ments or induction into the armed services.
 It was tabled on a motion from chairman Gurney R-SD) of the Armed Services committee. The motion was not debatable.

Republicans End Two-Day Session At Mckinley Park

FAIRBANKS, - (P) -Alaska's third Republican convention this spring adjourned yesterday after a two-day meeting at Mount Me Kinley national park.
 The two conventions were or ganized because of a controver- sy over a convention called at Sitka last month by attorney AL bert E. White of Juneau.
 Delegates to the Mount McKin- ley meeting labeled it "the first regularly called Republican con- vention in Alaska in 16 years" and endorsed the program of the "anti-White" group at the Sitka convention which broke away and held a meeting of its own.
 Thirty-nine elected delegates and 13 others carrying proxies, representing a total of g pre- cincts from all four of the Ju- dicial divisions met at Mount Me Kinley. They claimed to speak for not less than 90 per cent of the bonafide Republicans of the Territory"
 The following delegates were elected to the Philadelphia con- vention: Jack Clawson, Anchor age; Cash Cole, Juneau; R. E. Juneau; and alternates J. E. Johnson, Ketchikan; John E. Manders, Anchorage and Maur- ice T. Johnson, Fairbanks.
 Captain Austin E. Lathrop and Mrs. Louise P. Clegg, both of Fair banks, were endorsed for national committeeman and committee woman.
 This is the same roster of dele gates and committeeman named by the Republican group which bolted the Sitka conventions called by the Alaska Central Committee headed by White.
 This set of delegates, unin- structed, will seek recognition by the National Convention over the delegates elected by the "White"

John l.. Lewis Will Talk Contracts
 With Soft COlliers'

WASHINGTON, - (P John L. Lewis opened soft coal con- tract talks today-with blast of denunciation at the operators.
 He called them "fat cats" - = magnificently opulent - digging deep and without restraint into the national purpose"
 He made two points clear about any agreement replacing the con- tract expiring June 30:
 1. The United Mine Workers have no wage proposals, but they "expect improvements"
 2. They want guarantees under the 1947 Miners Welfare fund which has paid out nothing be- cause it is tied up in legal dis pute.
 He put the next move up to the operators. The miners will con- slider any offer (which you may persuade yourselves to utter" Lewis said.
 This was in statement with which Lewis opened the nego- tiations.
 He scornfully told the operators they had reduced collective bar gaining "to mockery."

Nets Only ID Tie

Washington's hockey Lions turned
in one of their finest performances
Of the season last night, but all
they got for 1t was a "a tie with
the Cleveland Barons Of the Amert-
can Leagues western division.
The reason was the cool, expert
gold-tending of Roger Bessette, who
stood up under rain Of Lion shots
for two periods and then, after
Washington had knotted the count
with a last-session rally, warded
off what would have been the win
ming point. The result left the
Lions mired in last place Of the
Eastern division.
Cleveland, undefeated Ia Its last
seven starts. took an early lead
when Johnny Holots scored in the
first period and Alb DeMarco fol-
lowed with another In the second.
Twice In the second stanza 1t ap-
peared that the Lions would score,
but each time Bessette managed TO
knock away the puck.
