Britain Warns j. n.
To Set Up Palestine
Regime by Friday
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, May 12.-Britaln
warned the United Nations today
that any new emergency regime for
Palestine must be created by action
here before 6 pm. (EDT), Friday.
John Fletcher Cooke, British rep
resentative, ,~told a U. N. Assembly
Palestine Subcommittee the man
date would be ended at that hour
Friday midnight in Palestine-and
the British High Commissioner
would sail Immediately.
Mr.. Fletcher Cooke spoke during
debate on an American proposal to
set up a temporary trusteeShip for
Jerusalem. It was the first time
the British had informed the U. N.
of the exact time they would end
their Palestine rule.
This left the U. N. only two days
to act.
No agreement is in sight here
either on the Palestine problem as
whole or on special measures to
safeguard the holy places Of Jeru-
salem, although special session
of the United Nations Assembly has
been sparring with both questions
for nearly month.
A special subcommittee received
last night a proposal from the
United States and France that
Jerusalem be placed temporarily
under the authority of the United
Nations when the British mandate
ends. Under this proposal the U. N.
Trusteeship Council would be the
administrative authority. It would
be empowered to name high COM
missioner for the city, site of holy
shrines of three religions.

Gamblers Growing Uneasy.
Elsewhere, there were indications
that part of the gambling fraternity
at least, had been made uneasy by
the prospect of general inquiry.
Some numbers game organizations
were becoming increasingly cautious,
but many bookmakers were telling
clients that they were closing their
books temporarily as a precaution.

with moderate grosses-were de-
scribed as the most cautious. Some,
having reason to believe their names
are on the list Of 1873 gamblers

to be planning vacation trips.

 Pay Is 0ufIawed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-tR- The Supreme Court in effect to- day upheld the action of Congress in knocking out claims by work CTS for some $6,O0O, 100000 in back "portal-to- portal" pay.
 The high court refused in an crder to review a lower court Ge- cision that the law Congress passed in l947 retroactively cancelled over- tine pay claims by a group of Maryland workers.
 The refusal means the lower court decision stands.
 In another major action. the high court lifted a lower court or der banning the Ford Motor Com psny rom owning an automobile financing company, or from persu- 1ding it's dealers and the public to use any particular company.
 It was a 43 decision Justice Black, one of those disagreeing with it, said the decision means that hereafter dealers and auto Euyers who use a finance company can not depend on competition to keep interest rates at a fair icvel."
 Tn a third action, the court re- fused union request that it rule Cn whether the Government was within it's rights when it got a court order last July against a threatened nationwide strike of railroad workers. The government opposed a high court ruling, con- tending it would serve the sole purpose Of an advisory opinion" in event of another strike threat in the future.
