The good word that he had won
a national award carrying four
year college scholarship was the
surprise of Joseph Fishers II
years. although it came early and
by accident.
The stage was set to break the
secret to Joe tomorrow morning
at Station WRC via a personal
telephone call of congratulations
from Bob Feller, star pitcher of
the Cleveland Indians.
Teller. who is chairman of the
Popsicle Youth Award Commit
tee. was to tell Joe how he had
been selected as one of two ma
tional winners. with a scholarship
to Syracuse University. for having
twice saved younger children
from possible injury in Washing
ton traffic.
Joe's father, Morris D. Fisher.
of TOT Somerset place NV. had
arranged for his son to be excused
from school for the ceremony. A
slip-up through notification of the
winner on the West Coast,
however, broke the news ahead of
schedule and Joe received it from
his father last night.

British Action Gives
Israel Recognition
By All Of Big -Four
By the Assoeiofsd Press

LONDON, Jan. 29.-Britain recog-
nized Israel today, giving the Jew
lsh state the de facto-recognition
of all the Big. Four.
Belgium, the Netherlands and
Luxembourg also climbed aboard the
bandwagon.
The United States and Russia rec
ognized Israel when the state was
formed last May. France extended
recognition Monday.
Among the worlds large powers,
only China has not yet recognized
Israel.
Britain's recognition is de facto,
or qualified, as was that of the
United States. 1t means recogni-
tion of existence of the state. Indi-
cations are tkat Britain will not
grant de jure recognition fmeaning
acceptance of Israel's full diplo-
matte and legal status as nation)
until Israel's borders have been
fixed and peace has been restored
to the Middle East.
Action Follows Bitter Debate.
The British announcement fol-
lowed shortly the decision of the
Brussels pact powers yesterday that
the time had come to act. It fol-
lowed months of bitter debate in
Britain over the Middle East policy
of Foreign Secretary Bevin.
The Brussels pact powers ere

Joseph Linton. acting representa-

announced. He was with Mr.. Bevin
Is minutes. Later he described the
meeting as very cordial.
Welcoming the decision, Mr.. Lin

of normal and friendly relations
between Britain and Israel"

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Jan. 29.-
The Navy's biggest, fastest and
most powerful cruiser was commits

she bears.
Capt. Roland N. Smoot, skipper
of the 17,0OO-ton Newport News,

Europe Council Seen.
Long Advance Toward
Unity Of Continent
BY the ASsoeioted Pres.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The Parlia-
ment of Europe envisaged by
Brussels treaty powers was
hailed in some quarters today
as the start of an effort to fill a
vacuum created by the disap-
pearance of Germany as a politi-
cal force.
There was disagreement as to
what it will grow to be-a third
force" in the world on a level with
the United States and Russia, or
merely broader Western European
alliance with the function of main
tanning defense lines against Rus
Sia.
But there seemed to be general
agreement that the plan for a
Council of Europe, announced by
the five Western foreign ministers
last night, was the longest step yet
taken toward European unity.
1t was regarded as significant
that, in addition to setting up pro-
cedures for military and economic
collaboration, the foreign ministers
of Britain, France, Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg pro-
vided for a systematic sharing of
the nations culture and bringing
their educational systems into clos
er harmony.
Western Europe, IL was felt, was
moving toward unity of spirit and
outlook as well as military pro-
grams.
Step Toward Balance Seen.
Since the elimination of Germany
as continental force, the Council
was regarded by many observers as
a practical effort to re-establish a
European balance promising some
permanence.
But a host of difficulties were fore
seen. The London Times warned
today that the European Union will
not grow steadily like tree which,
once planted needs little but oc-
caSional rain to water it."
One difference marked French
and British viewpoints.
The French were inclined to view
the European Council as being the
third force" which is to WELD
influence on a worldwide basis.
There was a disposition in Paris
to believe the Brussels treaty powers
are linked by a special bond of
intimacy.
In Britain, however, the intimate
bonds with the dominions were
being remembered, as was the we'll
established cooperation with the
United States.
Here there was a disposition to
regard the European council not as
a tight and exclusive association,
but as one-half Of the wider At
lantic community, Some persons
expressed hope that such a COM
munity might include South Amer
ican republics, as well as Canada
and the United States.
There appeared to be some ap-
prehension in the dominions that
Britain is committing herself in
Europe in a manner which might
conflict with wider commonwealth
interests.
There was some question as to
why there should now be a minis
terial committee and a consultative
body, acting something like a gov
ernment Of Western Europe, while
there is still no such formal ma
chinery to bind the commonwealth.
AS conceived, the consultative
body will meet in the open, but
will not discuss defense problems.
The ministerial committee VIII meet
secretly, and will propose subjects
the consultative body may discuss
openly.
In this respect the ministerial
committee will be like a British
cabinet making proposals to Parlia-

ward ito good relations between

The recognitions by Britain and
France are expected to open the
way for Israel to become a member
Of the United Nations, possibly at
the General Assembly meeting at
Lake Success in April.
China is the only one of the five
powers that could veto Israel's ap-
plication for membership, though
seven of the II votes in the Security
Council are required for recon-
mendation to the Assembly. Israel
failed to make it in Paris last fall.
Diplomatic sources speculated
that one of the first results of the
British recognition will be resump-
ton of trade with Jews in the Holy
Land. Britain has long been one
Of the principal customers for Pal
estine's citrus fruits.
During the period of de facto
recognition, Britain and Israel will
exchange political representatives
instead of diplomats.

He spoke to the nation by radio
from his home where he is recover

He said Italy will become not only
an equal member of the newly an
nounced Council of Europe, but will
"enter quickly into definite contacts
for its final formation.

had announced an invitation for

There was little apprehension in
some quarters that the consultative

enforce any decisions it may reach,
and so become just another irritent

Defenders of the plan said it is
the best agreement that can be
reached at this time, and that it
may grow in influence as the idea
of European unity gains strength.
