RAILROAD ENDS WAGE DISPUTE

WASHINGTON, (P) The year-old wage dispute that nearly tied up the nations railroad sys- tenn is settled.
 The three ke-threatening un- ions came to terms with the car riers at the White House last night.
 But new round of pay boost demands on behalf of all of the 1,250,OOO railroad workers is just around the corner. Management officials look for that struggle to begin in earnest in September.
 However, the long procedure called for by the Railway Labor Act will delay any possible new strike for several months after that.
 In the meantime the railroads will be back under private oper- ation.
 The government seized them last May and then got a court order forbidding the walkout that had been ordered by the three un- ions-the Locomotive Engineers, the Locomotive Bremen and En- ginemen and the NSwitchmen.
 In announcing the settlement the White House said the lines will be freed of Army control as the necessary papers can be drawn.
 The 18 unions all received a IS 1/2 cent hourly increase last fall but the three strike-threaten- ing brotherhoods refused to settle for that without some changes in the operating rules, That is what they got in the peace plan pro- posed on Wednesday by presiden- tial assistant John R. Steelman and accepted by both sides last night.

RAILROADS GET FARE INCREASES

WASHINGTON, - (P) The Eastern Railroads today were be- ing granted a new increase in pas senger fares averaging IT per cent
 The new fares can be put into effect by the railroads upon five days notice to the public.
 The raise was authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission for all of the railroads doing pas senger business north of the O. hio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi.
 The ICC order sustained the car riers' request for an advance of 20 percent in basic passenger coach fares and 14.3 percent in basic fares in sleeping and parlor cars.
 The increases are in addition to the general 10 percent hike in passenger fares granted by the commission throughout the coun- try last year.

 (By the Associated Press) War returned to Palestine today on land and in the air.
 Within five hours after the four weeks armistice ended, a lone air plane, probably Egyptian, bombed northern Tel Aviv.
 Israel and Egypt reported scat tered combet, though apparently not on a full scale offensive, in southern Palestine. Mortar and small arms fire were exchanged in Jerusalem. Northern Palestine appeared quiet.
 HAIFA
 The Israeli command said the Jews captured the villages of Belt Affa, Iraq Suweidan and Ibdis from the Egyptian army. They are near Majdal, 28 miles south of Tel Aviv. The Jews acknowledged the loss of Kaukaba and Huleiqat. Their communique said 30 Egyp- tians were killed and many others wounded in the wars renewal. Cleavage between the seven Ar ab nations and the Jews appeared as wide as ever over establishment of the Jewish nation.
 US. and French Warships sailed from Haifa with about 16O of the 200 JUN. truce observers aboard. Most of the other 40 remained in Jerusalem.

we shall now add one we heard last week 1t
seems that during the war Mr.. Churchill sent
the manuscript of speech over to the Foreign
Office for checking. An overzealous clerk
proceeded to circle one sentence which the
Prime Minister. one of the great masters of
English prose style. had ended with a preposi-
ton. Noting this, MIR. Churchill scribbled
on the margin: This is the kind of nonsense
