The Federal Food and Drug
Administration yesterday asked
Health Officer George c. Ruhland
to report all cases of illness or
death that might be traced to the
salt substitutes believed to have
caused five deaths in other parts

and Salti-Salt, contained lithium
chloride, which apparently has re-
acted unfavorably in the treat
ment of persons on salt-free diets
DR.. Rutland said the Health
Department is contracting whole
salers and asking that the subSti-
tutes be recalled. All doctors and
clinics are being advised of the
administration warning. he said
When the Federal agency last
week announced the possible
harmful effects of the salt substi-
tutes, Harold C. Kinner, president
of the District Pharmaceutical
Association, said drugstores here
had quit selling the preparation

advised of the possible danger. A

Armistice Pact Signed by Egypt and Israel
Hebron area south of Jerusalem
through Israeli lines.

Hebron area south of Jerusalem
through Israeli lines.
This evacuation may begin al
"any time" but the agreement
specifically states that both Jew
ish and Egyptian forces on this
western front" may stay in place
until an armistice is reached with
Trans-Jordan.
Although the Jews keep military
possession of Beersheba by the
Egyptian armistice, the fate OF
that Arab town may come up
again in the negotiations with
Trans-Jordan. Beersheba is south
of the partition line drawn by the
U. N. General Assembly in No
vember, 1947. 1t controls the CEN
tral road system of Southern Pal
estine, and is considered by Israel
as vital to her defense.
The armistice provides for an
exchange of prisoners beginning
within 10 days and to be COM
pleted three weeks later. The
Jews hold nearly 1000 Egyptian
prisoners of war while the Egyp-
tians are holding about 100 Is
raeliS.
To carry out the terms an arm
istice commission of seven mem
bers is created. 1t is composed
of three Egyptians. three Israelis
and American Brig. Gen. William
E. Riley, chief of staff of U. N
observers in Palestine. as chair
man. The commission will have
headquarters at Auja.
The Jews are to be allowed five
defensive posts of one battalion
each along the GAIA armistice
line. They also are permitted tc
garrison their Is settlements in
the Southern Negeb.

philosopher, Alexis de Tocque-

doesn't want to argue first with,
say, John Foster Dulles.
Representative Javits, Republi-

in effect, a reputation of Mr.
Wallace's foreign views.

was that people were so fright
hened at Mr.. DeWey's face that
they said This IS fate we cannot
risk'-and voted for Mr.. Tru-

This brought on considerable
laughter, especially on the Demo-
cratic side.
