Coroner and Police Disagree
On Listing Streetcur Accidents

TIL death of a youth who fell from
moving streetcar will not be
carried as traffic fatality on police
records but may be listed as such
by the coroner's office.
The reason is a difference in the
standards applied by the two Dis
trict authorities.
The victim, Charles F. Wilson, IS,
colored, 1888 Tenth street NV,
died early yesterday in Freedmen's
Hospital. Police said he apparently
forced open the center door OF the
streetcar and fell out while the car
was in the 5700 block of Georgia
avenue the previous night.
AS explained by Inspector Arthur
E. Miller, in charge of the traffic
division, police use the definitions
of traffic accidents established by
the National Safety Council. These
are accepted as standard in most

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, July 23-
A former Army flyer, worried about
new war, was sought today as the
pilot who dived at United Nations
Headquarters and dropped missile
which exploded harmlessly nearby.
The U. N. Trusteeship Council
was in session when the missile,
believed by police to be home
made bomb, went off yesterday near
the ground about 400 feet from the
entrance of the Central U. N. Build
ing. The blast was heard a mile
away.
Delegates and staff members were
thrown into a state of excitement.
Scores of them rushed to the win
dows of U. N. chambers Others
poured outside as a small yellow
and-orange plane banked and flew
away.
Plane Lands at La Guardia.
Police said one panicky U. N.
staff member telephoned and cried
we're being bombed. We're being
bombed"
A plane answering the description
of the one from which the missile
was dropped landed short time
later at La Guardia Field.
Its pilot, who identified himself
as Stephen j. Supina, 36, former
BIT turret gunner of Wilmington,
Conn, LETT the field.
Police sent out a 13-State alarm
for Supina on a felony charge of
malicious mischief.

The elder Supina said his brother

Split by Factions

Political jealouSies and a frac-
tional tug-of-war within the Israeli
government have hindered an all
out fight against the Arabs and pre-
vented Palestine from becoming an
adequate, unified nation for the
Jews, in the opinion of Harry Louis
Selden, co-chairman of the Ameri-
can League for Free Palestine.
On his return from that country,
Mr. Selden said yesterday he is
more convinced than ever that
Palestine should not be partitioned.
He accused the provisional govern
ment of Prime Minister David Ben
Gurion of being "dictatorial' and
of not having prosecuted the war
"as zealously as it might have
BEEN"
The United Nations commission,
headed by Count Bernadotte, has
been far from impartial" he de-
clared.
1T may sound like a paradox,
but if Palestine had not been par
titioned there would not have been
any war Mr.. Selden said at a
news conference at the Leagues
headquarters, 2315 Massachusetts,
avenue NV.
"As long as there is partition, the
Israeli state will have to be on the
defensive and on guard. The league
stands against any settlement that
would give Israeli less territory than
it needs to sustain and develop a
government. 1t must be given all
of the original inundated area"
Explaining that the league sup-
ports any group working for "liber-
alton of the whole of Palestine" i"
Mr.. Selden said his organization
gives moral support to the former
underground Irgun and Stern Or
ganizations insofar as they move
toward that end.
Mr.. Selden reported that earlier
in the day he received word from
Israel that Peter H. Bergson, He
brew Committee founder who left
the United States for Palestine last
May, is being held a prisoner by
Ben Gurion and is in a$"desperate
pOSitiOn."

The fall from q moving streetcar
is not covered by these definitions,
Inspector Miller stated. In fact, no

As Premier Tomorrow
BY the Associotsd Press

PARIS, July 23.-Andre Marie,
q Sl-year-old lawyer whose
health was impaired in a Nazi
concentration camp, appeared
assured today of becoming
Frances next Premier.
Mr.. Marie, a Radical Socialist
Conservative, telephoned President
Vincent Auriol his formal accept
ance of the nomination to form a
new government. He will seek the
National Assembly's approval to-
morrow afternoon.
Earlier, outgoing Premier Robert
Schumans Popular Republican
Movement CMRP) announced it's
sympathy" for Mr.. Marie. Like
the Socialists, the Popular Repub-
licans made their support condi-
tional on the policies he will outline
to the Assembly.
Only Reds Oppose Marie.
Mr.. Marie, a tall, gray-haired
Norman, apparently will face the
outright opposition Of only the
Communists. His colleagues said
even Gen. Charles de Gaulle's fol-
lowers had promised him "watchful
neutrality"
II accepted by the Assembly, Mr..
Marie possibly could form a cabinet
by Sunday night. The crisis then
would have lasted six days. Be-
cause of the present uneasy foreign
situation, the French are eager to
have a government formed as soon
as possible. Mr.. Marie worked far
into the night negotiating with
party leaders.
Before the Popular Republicans
announced their conditional sup
port, their leaders said they were
worried about Mr.. Marie's economic
policies and anti-clerical views. The
MRP Is a Catholic party.
The main point at issue during
Mr.. Marie's negotiations with the
MRP was his insistence on refusing
to formally divluge his cabinet Sc
lections before he is approved by the
Assembly.
Three MRP Ministers Criticized.
The Popular Republicans wanted
to know whether three of their
ministers in Mr.. Schumans cabinet
were acceptable to Mr.. Marie. All
three have been criticized recently.
They are Mrs. Germaine Poinsot-
Chapuis. health minister; Pierre
Henri Teitgen, minister of national
defense, and Georges Bidault, for
eign minister.
Mr.. Marie was said to have re-
piled he would keep Mr. Bidault,
but not at the Foreign Office, where
he preferred to have Mr.. Schuman
He was reported to be planning to
offer Mr.. Bidault the post of min
lister of state.
Rene Mayer, Mr.. Schuman's
finance minister, is believed slated
to replace Mr. Teitgen with former
Premier Paul Reynaud going to the
Finance Ministry.
Leon Blum is said to have beer
picked for ministry of state ano
Paul Ramadier for minister of ma
tional economy. Both are former

Coon Doc
Shortage

Not enough of the seasons
abundant crop of raccoons is be-
ing harvested, and men of the
Michigan conservation depart
ment's Rose Lake wildlife ex-
pertinent station believe the
scarcity of good coon dogs
rather than the low price of
raccoon fur explains the lack of
interest.
Due to limited hunting of the
ringtails in war years, some
hunters sold their dogs, and
others failed to run their dogs
enough to have them in shape
to run smart 'coonS.
In preseason livetrapping at
the Rose Lake station, raccoon
were more numerous than usual.
To date, however, 'coons on the
station lands have been more
than match for dogs pitted
against them, and not one has
been taken there. Unless more
and better coon dogs are put
into the field, game men expect
an excess of 'coons will be left,
to prey on pheasants and other
game.
