in the old Walled City of Jeru-
salem since the British mandate
ended May Is.
Most of the victims were soldiers
A few were women. children and

moved from the walled area today
The Jewish spokesman said about
$50 prisoners of war were on their
way to Arab internment camps.
Some l100 others, he added, were
evacuated as noncombatants.
Arab Legion artillery was shelling
Jerusalem intermittently today. The
crashing roar of the shells kept the
people inside their crowded air raid
shelters for the second straight
sabbath.
An Agency spokesman today ex-
pressed grave apprehensions about
the fate of the remaining synagogues
and Jewish relics in the old city
He acknowledged. however, that the
Arab Legion was behaving properly
as a regular army with character
istics ingrained in it by many years
of British training. The spokes-
man said local Arab inhabitants
had set fire to the ancient Hurva
Synagogue.

Mundt Bill Denounced
By Wallace as Most
.5ubversive' Proposal
CIO Charges Measure
Threatens Unions and
CurtoiIs Civil Rights
Rx the Associated PIesS

Henry A. Wallace denounced
the Mundt-NiXon anti-Commu-
nism bill yesterday as the most
subversive legislation ever to be
seriously sponsored in the United
States Congress.
we can't have peace with Rus
sia if we approach Russia with the
atom bomb in one hand and the
Mundt Bill in the other the third
party presidential candidate de-
clared
The CIO last night voiced strong
opposition to the bill because it
seriously threatens the existence of
bona fde labor unions and because
it substantially curtails civil rights
guaranteed to every American by
the Constitution
CIO Letter to Wiley.
The opposition was contained in
letter to Senate Judiciary Com
mittee Chairman Wiley, Republican,
of Wisconsin, and signed by Nathan
Cowan, CIO legislative director.
I'VE object to the Mundt Bill be-
cause it violates the very freedom of
speech. press and assembly which it
purports to safeguard Mr.. Cowan
declared. Under this bill, organi-
cations and individuals are pun
ished, restrained. and regimented
solely on the basis of political opin-
ions rather than on the basis OF
overt acts of disloyalty.'
The letter noted that the "CIO, OF
course, holds no brief for Commu-
nism or for the opponents Of this
philosophy"
Mr.. Wallace and Norman Thomas
Socialist candidate for President
were the days star witnesses be-
fore the Senate committee.
Bill Called Dangerous.
They joined in saying the bill
aimed at foreign directed conspir-
acies to overthrow the United States
Government, is a dangerous one
but there they parted company.
The grey-haired socialist charged
that Mr.. Wallaces third party is
largely" controlled by Communists
| He added:
Don't let me give the impression
that Henry Wallace Is Communist
I suspect that the Communists have
secret sessions in which they rather
deplore some of Mr.. Wallace's gre
gariousness He is not Communist
He happens to be very useful tc
them now"
! Mr.. Wallace. wearing double
breasted grey suit, white shirt ano
red tie, attracted an overflow crowd
Some members of the audience ap-
plauded loudly when he appeared
eight minutes late-and again wher
Senators finished questioning him
I Draws Laughter.
/ At one point Mr.. Wallace was
asked if his 3,000-word statement
was all his own work. He said he
spent all day yesterday on it: that
