Britain Calls on u. n.
To Order Negeb Truce
And Jews Withdrawal
Council Debotes Eeypt's
Charge Thot Israel Had
Violated Armistice
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 28.-Britain called
today in the United Nations for
an immediate cease fire In
Southern Palestine and with
drawal of Israeli forces in the
Negeb.
British Delegate Harold Beeley
submitted a resolution proposing the
cease-fire and Israeli withdrawal as
the Security Council debated Egypt's
charge that Israel had violated the
truce with attacks December %
against Egyptian coastal positions In
Southern Palestine.
The resolution omitted any direct
condemnation of Israel This omis-
sion apparently was intended to
attract American support.
The original British text, which
the American delegation referred to
Washington last night for decision,
proposed that Israel be declared the
aggressor. American sources re-
ported this morning that Britain
probably would modify her proposal
to meet possible American objec-
tons.
Meeting January 6 Asked.
Mr.. Beeley urged that the Secur-
ity Councils truce supervision COM
mittee be instructed to meet jan
uary 6 at Lake Success to report
on compliance with the cease-f1re
and withdrawal orders.
These proposals would be based
on the Security Councils truce Or
ders of November 4, which Mr.
Beeley said must be enforced. Un-
der that resolution Israeli forces
were to withdraw to positions occu-
pied before their October IA ad-
vance and Acting Mediator Ralph
j. Bunche was authorized to fix a
no-man's land to prevent direct
contact between Egyptian and Is
raeli troops.
This would be the first STEP"
Mr.. Beeley said, "in restoring the
authority Of the Security Council
and of the United Nations itself in
Palestine
Britain was willing in the past to
apply sanctions under the U. N.
Charter against aggressors In Pales-
tine and can be again in the future.
Mr.. Beeley said.
NJ. Fawzi Bey, Egyptian delegate,
charged Israeli actions in the Negeb
displayed "premeditated, most
systematic and carefully synchro-
nized' defiance of the Council.
Bunche Report Assailed.
Before the Council recessed until
afternoon, the British called on the
three nations named to the U. N.
Assembly Cancellation commission
the United States, France and Tur-
key-to designate representatives
and organize as soon as possible.
Maurice Fischer, representative Of
Israel here, assailed the Bunche re-
port on the renewal of the fighting
in Palestine. The report quoted
United Nations observers on the
Egyptian side as telling of Israeli
attacks on Egyptian forces. U. N.

BY the Associated Press

MARBURG, Germany, Dec. %.
Mrs. Wilma Ybarbo of Maiden,
Mass, today was sentenced to 20
years in prison for killing her
American soldier husband in a
bedroom quarrel.
The American Military Govern
ment court of three American
judges convicted Mrs. Ybarbo of
killing Sergt. John Ybarbo of Co.
lad, Tex, with malice afore-
thought"
The 23-year-old defendant hardly
changed the expression on her pale
face as she heard the verdict.
The court rejected her plea that
she shot her husband in self-de-
Tense. The judges also rejected the
possibility that she was so overcome
by passion that she was beyond
|self-control when she pumped three
pistol bullets into her husband after
a quarrel.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. %
President Truman today refused
to amplify his statement of yes
terday that certain leaders" in
Russia were "exceedingly anx-
ious" to reach an understanding
with this Government.
One Of the newsmen accompanying
the President on his customary walk
in nearby Independence this morn
ing observed that there was con-
siderable speculation on the identity
of the individuals to whom the Pres
ident referred.
You will just have to continue
to speculate" Mr.. Truman said.
After the Presidents statement
yesterday, which was made in talk
at luncheon in honor of his old
business partner, Eddie Jacobson,
Press Secretary Charles G.. Ross said
that Mr. Truman would not name
the Russian leaders he meant.
Referred to Stain in Campaign.
In the course of his campaign, the
President spoke OF his liking for
"Old joe (Stalin) and blamed that
chief of states seeming intransi-
geance on the Politburo. In his
talk yesterday, in which he attacked
the Russian attitude on various
world issues, the President made no
reference to that earlier declaratio

being feted for his leadership in
Zionist activities, particularly for
raising $4,000 to equip two recrea-
ton rooms in the Israeli Military
Hospital in Tel Aviv
After praising his former part
ner of 30 years." Mr. Truman
warmed to the foreign remarks,
serving notice of a new kind Of
straight from-the shoulder diplo-
matte dealing almost sure to stir
the Kremlin propaganda machine.
First he said he was familiar with
the problems of Israel, all the Near
East and all countries where
there now is trouble. He said there
was no reason why Christians, Jews
and Arabs can't reach an agreement,
since Christianity and all other re-
| ligions are based on the Mosaic law
founded on justice and fair dealing.
Morals That Are Not Morals.
THE only thing that bothers me
is that our great Ally to the north

not sacred to the Soviet government.
Il made certain specific agree

have been kept. Certain agreements
were made at Yalta, none of which

Il am exceedingly sorry for that
because the Russian people are q
great people. I am sure that if the
Russian people had voice in the
government of Russia there would
be no trouble.
There are certain leaders in the

Segregation in Force
AT Airport's Cafes
Despite CAA Order
Restaurant Manager
Says He Will Continue
To Obey Virginia Laws

Segregation practices at eat
ing places at National Airport
we're still in force today despite
an order by D. w. Rented, adj
ministrator of civil aeronautics,
directing that they be ended.
Paul Boyd general manager of
Air Terminal Services, Inc, which
operates the airport restaurants.
said his instructions were to con-
tinue to recognize the Virginia law
until further orders He said no
colored persons had asked to be
served.
Mr.. Boyd said the instructions
came from Frederick j. Ball, execu.
tive vice president of the company
and also its attorney. Mr.. Boyc
said it was his understanding TIT
company could be fined and its per.
sonnet imprisoned for violation O.
the Virginia segregation laws.
Denman. T. Rucker, common
wealth attorney for Arlington
County, said, however, the Federal
Government has exclusive jurisdic-
ton in the enforcement of GRIM
inal law at the airport. He said,
therefore, that he could take no
action toward enforcing the Vir-
ginia segregation laws there.
Points to Separate Facilities.
At the CAA, it was said those
refusing to carry out the direc-
tions to serve colored people would
lay themselves open to Federal
prosecution. The penalty on con-
viction. it was said. is a $500 fine or
six months imprisonment.
Bennett H. Griffin, airport admin
istrator, said the order by Mr. Rent
eel would be followed. He called
attention to the fact. however, that
the eating facilities are operated by
Air Terminal Services, Inc, and
referred questions to Mr. Boyd.
Mr. Boyd's concern operates the
coffee shop. the terrace restaurant,
a snack bar and cafeterias for en-
ployes at the terminal building.
There are two cafeterias. one for
white, the other for colored en-
ploves. There also is hangar cafe
terra at the south end of the field
where workers eat and Mr.. Griffin
said colored people are served there.
The snack bar in the lobby sells
to colored, but they are expected to
step aside and eat what they have
bought.
Says Sawyer Approves.
Administrator Rented said the
nonsegregation order was issued
with the approval of Secretary of
Commerce Sawyer after careful
consideration of the situation"
The problem of segregation at
the Airport has been the subject of
concern and study for some time, .
Mr.. Rented explained. 1T was first
believed that the Civil Aeronautics
Administration and the Department
could not prohibit segregation in
view of the apparent incorporation
of a Virginia segregation statute in

Women lead the way In blasting
the taboo that once existed in re-
gard to hearing aids. according to
MiSs Josephine Timberlake, execu-
tive secretary of the Volta Bureau.
In spite Of all that has been said
about feminine vanity, it..is men.
and not women, who shrink from
wearing the now very inconspicuous
aids.
Less noticeable than ever today,
plans are in progress to make even
smaller ear pieces. More persons
constantly find these aids the key
to again enjoying life and friends
as they once did. Wise is the per-
son, according to Miss Timberlake,
who takes action on change in his
hearing ability. Early medical care
sometimes prevents Advancement Of
deafness.
Through the bureau and its publi-
cation, the Volta Review, sound as
sistance and friendship are offered
to the hard Of hearing. Articles
dealing with hearing problems and
ethical advertisements of hearing
aids and their accessories are found
IN the Review. Correspondence
with the bureau on personal prob
lens has helped to readjust lives.
The. deaf and hard of hearing
often become well acquainted with
loneliness, Miss Timberlake pointed
out. They are without Z means OF
communication. Little things in
everyday life become very big, and
they often fail again and again In
coping with them. They may ask
conductor to call 4 streetcar stop,
the conductor does SO, and they
don't hear him. When they inquire
he irritably tells them he has al
ready called the stop. Irritabihty.
Again and again, the same tone Is
repeated over and over in peoples
voices, when q second and third rep
etition of a sentence is uncaught by
the deaf person. Then there Is the
final turning away, often with his
question unanswered, but too en-
barrassed to ask for another repe-
tition.
For the blind there is the helping
hand, the kindest voice that can be
mustered to penetrate their dark
ness. For the deaf, and the par
TALLY deaf. there is impatience and
lack Of understanding IN the face
Of . problem just ax great.
