j. N. Palestine Unit
Demands That Britain
Guard Arms Supplies
BY the Assoeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. The
Palestine partition commission
served notice today that Britain
must protect police arms and ammu-
milton in the Holy Land until the
United Nations take them over.
The ve-member commission at a
closed meeting in U.N. headquarters
expressed dissatisfaction with Brit
aims decision that the large stores,
which include machineguns and
armored cars, simply will be left for
the commission when the members
assume control. This was announced
to the U.N. group today.
Actions ON MiIitias Asked.
The commission also formally re-
quested the British government to
agree to preparatory steps looking
toward establishment of Jewish and
Arab militias in the projected
countries
Part Of the meeting was taken up
with study of a special report
from the commission to the Secu-
rity Council on the need for an
armed force to carry out the parti-
tion of the Holy Land, which was
approved by the U.N. Assembly last
November. The members ordered
some drafting changes and decided
to consider a third draft Monday
Persons familiar with the COM
mission sessions said members con-
slider it urgent to rush this report
to the Council, which must eventu-
ally decide on the makeup of any
international force, or, in fact
whether such a force shall be Gre
sted.

WhuttheRussiuns
Are Saying of Us

The MoSco,U radio, broadcast
ing in English to North America,
said:
The United States does not in
tend to provide Western Europe
with even a small quantity of the
materials it needs for the restor-
alton of the iron and steel in
dustry. Steel production in the
16 countries of Western Europe
in 1852 will lag behind the pre-
war level by as much as 20 per
cent even If the Marshall Plan)
program of aid is completely full
filled. So we see that the United
States assistance leads to de-
industrialization at a time when
the new democracies of Eastern
Europe are carrying out a large
scale program for industrializa-
ton.
THE iron and steel industry Of
Poland is already producing
more than before the war. The
assistance of the U. S. S. r. leads
to growth in productive forces,
the consolidation of economic in
dependence and an improve
ment in the material cond1-
tions' of the Polish people. This
is a striking contrast to the trade
policy of the United States"

Isl Jap Industrial Firms
Are Ordered Reorganized
BY the Associoied Press

TOKYO, Feb. Differentiation
Of 257 industrial companies was or
dered today by the japanese gov
ernment under the anti-monopoly
law passed by the Diet in December.
One hundred additional concerns
are expected to receive similar or
ders shortly.
E. C. Welsh, head of the Anti
Trust and Cartels Division of occu-
patton headquarters, said 10 per
cent are property of the zaibatsu-
Japan's famed family business
groups.
The decentralization follows the
disputed Far Eastern Commission
directive No. 23O. This directive
since has been withdrawn for al
teration, and occupation officials
have indicated they have no inten-
ton of applying it as fully as per-
mitted under it's original terms.
The program has been attacked
by some business spokesman in the
United States as we'll as in Japan
on grounds shat it would weaken
japanese economy and lead to
socialism"

3. Coercing publishers to hire
only ITU members as composing
room foremen.
4. Coercing employees in the ex-
ercise of their rights to bargain
and their ,rights to re-
frain from union activities.
The union denies any violation of
the law. For example, the union
says the Chicago strike is for higher
wages. The publishers say it was
called in furtherance of unfair
labor practices.
The injunction is sought against
the national ITU only, and not the
Chicago local or any other local
union. Mr.. Denham's Office and the
publishers base their case on the
charge that the ITU sets the poll
cies of its local unions.

Treaty Negotiations

BY the Assoe;oted Press

LONDON, Feb. diplomatic
sources said tonight that Britain has

ish wanted such aid to be automatic,
the newspaper said. but Trans
Jordan wanted limiting clauses.
The Trans Jordan delegation
agreed, the newspaper said, that
the Arab Legion should not be used
in any war in Palestine between
Arabs and Jews.
Official reticence was expected.

Irau's reputation of a new British
Iraqi treaty three weeks ago is
expected to make no announcement
until Trans -Jordan's approval OF
the new pact Is certain.
Will Supplant 1916 Pact.
If the treaty is approved it will
supplant the 25-year British-Trans-
Jordan pact of 1916 which permits
Britain to station troops in the
Middle East country "if the situation
demands it."
The informants said the new
treaty provides that Britain will
continue an 100000 annual sub
sidy of the Arab Legion. Some units
of the legion, which is under COM
mand of British officers, are on po-
lice duty now in Palestine. The

been proved that May received

u. 5. Move 10 Enjoin
TU Under Labor Law
To Open Tomorrow
BY the Asseciafsd Press

The biggest and most complex
injunction case yet to arise under
the Taft-Hartley Act will open to-
morrow at indianapolis. 1t involves
the International Typographical
Union (AFD.
Government lawyers are seeking
an Injunction, or court order, which
they hope would end the 11-week-
old Chicago newspaper strike and
many other activities of the I. T. u
and its national officers.
This Nationwide battle IS con-
sidered important not only in the
newspaper industry but also in the
whole field of acknowledgement
relations
The AFL, CIO, and United Mine
Workers have asked the court to let
them file statements on behalf of
the printers. They oppose the in
junction and claim the injunction
provision of the Taft Hartley law
is unconstitutional.
Publishers Seek Vote.
On the other side, most of the
Nations daily newspaper publishers,
acting through three associations,
have asked the court to let them
take part in the hearing and argue
for the injunction.
Robert Denham, general counsel
of the National Labor Relations
Board, has charged the union with
% different kinds of illegal acts
against newspapers in all parts of
the country. He said these acts
constitute four unfair labor prac-
tices" under the Taft Hartley law.
He asked the five-man NLRB to
stop the acts.
1t takes long time for the NLRB
to hear such big case and make
decision. So Mr.. Denham asked
Federal Judge Luther M. Swyger.t
for a temporary injunction that
would force the union to refrain
from any of the % acts, or any
strikes or "sloWdoWns" in further
ance of the acts, until the NLRB
decision is issued.
Chicago Strike Is Issue.
Mr.. Denhams Office charges that
the Chicago strike is such strike,
furthering the alleged acts. The
union denies it. This question might
have to be settled in separate pro-
|ceedings before the proposed injunc-
ton would have the effect of halt
ing the strike.
The union last week asked Judge
SWygert to dismiss Mr.. Denham's
request for the injunction, on two
grounds:
l. That the Taft Hartley provision
under which the injunction is
sought, Section 10 Cd, is unconsti-
tutional in that is confers other
than judicial powers on the courts
and permits persons to be deprived
of liberty and property without due
process of law.
2. That only the five-man board,
and not Mr.. Denham, has the right
to ask for an injunction under 10
%. This provision says "the
board" may ask for an Injunction.
The board delegated this power to
the NLRB regional directors, who
are part of Mr.. Denham's office.
The union says the board had no
legal authority to delegate it.
Union Practices Listed.
The unions motion to dismiss
must be settled one way or the other
at Indianapolis before the merits
of the case can be argued.
Here are the four unfair labor
practices with which Mr.. Denham's
office has charged the union:
l. Trying to cause the publishers
to discriminate against nonunion
printers in hiring and firing.
2. Trying to cause the publishers
to pay for services not performed
