Ben-Gurion Reported Set
To Move to Jerusalem

TEL AVN, Israel, Dec. 13 [P.-
A reliable source said today that
Prime Minister David Bec -Gurion
has decided to move his Offices
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to-
morrow.
The informant said the Hebrew
parliament (Knesset) will meet in
Jerusalem next week. Hereto
fore the Knesset has met in Tel
Aviv except in its solemn inaugu-
raj session when the new state
of Israel was formed.
These moves did not necessarily
imply that Israel was prepared at
once to proclaim Jerusalem the
legal capital of this nation, even
though more transfers of Offices
are expected.
However, the Parliament and
the cabinet have been holding
extraordinary, talks on the United
Nations decision to International
ize Jerusalem, move which Israel
says she will oppose to the fullest.
The United States has advised
Israel to avoid any inflammatory
measures to resist the U. N. de-
cision.
Quarters close to the Israel.
government said the cabinet, while
rejecting the u. N. decision for
permanent internationallzation of
Jerusalem, did not by its present
move intend to affront U. N. au-
thority.
They said plans to move the
ministries to Jerusalem were con-
ceived long ago and announced Of
ficially last March. These plans,
they said, already had been partly
carried out with the transfer Of
six government departments up
to now-the department of re-
ligion, welfare, health. support for
war refugees, rationing supply and
Accommodations.

Chase Lake, north side of East
West highway between the Hot
Shoppe and Our Lady Of Lourdes
Church: small tract between
Hampden lane and East avenue
and a 400-foot strip OF the Chevy
Chase Club bordering on Wiscon-
sin avenue. The latter was placed

quiring petitioners for rezoning to

ton to build garden-type apart
ments. Cecil A. Eby made the
report. u.

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 13.-
President Truman is determined
to push his civil rights program
at the very outset of the next
session of Congress-and hope for
the best-intimates said here to-
day.
Despite the setback the admin
istration received on this issue q
year ago. the President is de-

sympathy with the Senate lead
ership which proposes early in

troversial bill to create a Federal
Fair Employment Practice Com
mission, which would guard
against discrimination in the en-
ployment of minority groups.
Promises He Won't Retreat.
The President told the National
Council of Negro Women in Wash
ington not long ago that there
would be mo retreat" from his
program which aims at Federal
law to deal with lynchings and
to end the poll tax. He is not
backing away from that program,
it was said. and expects to urge
it once more in calling on Con-
gress to enact his entire Fair
Deal program.
In the meantime, Mr.. Truman
is taking full advantage of the
final days of his vacation here
getting a daily swim and sunbath
as part of the rest cure he is
taking in preparation Of the long
haul until spring during which he
must seek to guide through Con-
gress the legislative policies ex-
pounded in the Democratic Ma

Lucas Chooses FEPC Bill
To Speorheod Rights Fight
BY the Associated Press

pf me AsSoeiofeo PreSS
The Truman administration
chose the hard road today in a
question for civil rights legisla-
tion: It issued a demand for
Senate passage early next year
of a fair employment practices
bill.
Senator Lucas Of Illinois, the
Senate majority leader, disclosed
the plan to seek a vote on the
FEPC bill. He said the attempt
will be made early in the next
session which he hopes will COM
Iplete work on President Truman's s
Fair Deal" program in July.
Senator Lucas explained that he
thinks the FEPC bill is the heart
of the Presidents civil rights pro-
gram. 1t is aimed at curbing job
discrimination based on a workers
color. race or religion. It also is
the most controversial of several
measures the President has rec
commended and thus faces the
hardest fight.
Some advocates have said it
might be easier to win approval
of the civil rights program on a
step-by- step basis. They want
anti-poll tax and anti-lynching
bills considered first.
However, Senator Lucas said
the anti-lynching bill now on the
calendar is not satisfactory to the
administration. He intimated 1t
is too broad in it's terms. Spon-
Sors of the measure have said it
would apply to violence in labor
disputes.
Senator Lucas noted that a bill
to abolish State poll taxes as q
requirement for voting has not
yet cleared the Senate Rules
| Committee.

Ten Defendants Plead
For Mercy in Sofia
Espionage Trial
BY the Assoeioted Press

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Dec. 13.-Ten
defendants in Bulgaria's spy trial
asked the court for mercy today,
but the principal defendant, for
mer Vice Premier Traicho Kostov,
repeated his denial of some of the
charges.
A murmur ran through the
spectators as Kostov spoke, drown
ing out much of what he said. He
spoke after his own defense at
torney conceded Kostov's guilt and
praised Bulgarian authorities for
having broken "the hands of the
traitors"
Defense Task Held Difficult.
White haired Luben Dukmed-
jiev, one of Sofas outstanding
lawyers, said he could find little
basis on which to defend the for
mer No. 2 Bulgarian Communist.
my task as defense lawyer for
Traicho Kostov is quite difficult, p"
he said in his hour -and-a-half
defense speech. He said the pros
ecution and the lawyers had a
common task Ito find out the
truth
He said. however. that there was
a gap on the accused bench where
Kostov and 10 other alleged spies
and saboteurs sat. Marshal Tito
of Yugoslavia should also be there
with his interior minister, Alexan-
der Rankovic, Dukmedjiev said.
I'VE see here only the agents of
the Titoists and Anglo-Ameri-
cans" he said, adding that the
"aggressors and Warmongers
should also be there.
Testimony in the trial showed,
the lawyer said, that Bulgaria was
facing a catastrophe which was
stopped, thanks to the vigilance
of the Bulgarian authorities who
uncovered the consplratorS' plot
in time.
Severest Sentence Expected.
Speaking further Of the charges
that were brought out repeatedly
throughout the trial that Tito
plotted with the British and
Americans to take over Bulgaria,
Dukmedjiev told the court its
verdict will be not only against
the defendants but also against
them (Titoists and Anglo -Ameri-
cans)."
This statement indicated that
the defense lawyer expected the
court to hand down the severest
sentence on his client. Yesterday
the prosecution had asked that
Kostov and four others receive the
death penalty by hanging.

|Trusteeship Council
Begins Work Today on
Reqime for Jerusalem
BY the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 13.-The
United Nations Trusteeship Coun-
Gil today begins the difficult task
of trying TO carry out the General
Assembly's decision for interna-
tional rule over Jerusalem. The
occupying powers, Israel and
Hashemite Jordan. say they won't
give up their sections of the Holy
City.
In Tel Aviv, Israels capital. re-
liable sources said the United
States-which joined Israel and
Jordan in opposing international
rule-had advised the Israeli gov
ernment against any inf1amma-
tory measures resisting the U. N
decision. The New York Times
reported similar American advice
had also been given to King Alb
dullah's Jordan government.
"It is understood, the Times
reported. that United States rep
resentatives in Tel Aviv and Am
man cautioned both governments
against any action that would
jeopardize their relations with
the Vatican and with other Arab
countries"
Chances of Success Slim.
Because of Israeli-Jordan op-
position, the 12-nation Trustee
ship Councils chances for success
are regarded as slim by many
observers.
However. Roger Garreau of
France, the Council chairman,
said he saw no reason to be pes
simistic. He said the problem
can be solved.
AS a result of the Jewish-Arab
fighting last year Jerusalem is
now divided into two parts. Israel
holds the modern section of the
city, while Jordan legionnaires
occupy the so-called "Old City,
which contains most of the shrines
sacred to Christians, Moslems and
Jews.
Infornants said the Trusteeship
Council first will draft statute
for Jerusalem and suburban areas
such as Bethlehem, which would
be included in the international
area.
Governor. May Be Named.
If the Council succeeds in OBJ
tanning the "co-operation of the
parties 1t will proceed to imple-
ment the statute" one source ex-
planned. That would involve the
naming OF a U. N. governor for
the area.
If cooperation from Israel and
Jordan is not forthcoming, the
sources said, then the Trusteeship
Council would be forced to refer
the Jerusalem question back to
the General Assembly next year.
The decision to internationaliZe
Jerusalem gives Russia a voice in
an area where she has been shut
out heretofore. The Soviet Union

Census Chief Denies
White House Dictated
ANY 1850 Questions
By Malcolm Lomborne. Jr.

Philip M. Hauser, acting Gen.
sus director, declared today that
neither President Truman nor
any other person connected with
the White House" has requested
the agency to include any ques-
tions in the 1850 census.
Mr.. Hauser made the state
ment in a nine-page memoran-
dunn to Secretary of Commerce
Sawyer answering charges by %
Republican members of Congress
that plans for income questions
in next years census were "Tru-
man statism in action
In releasing the memorandum
today, Mr.. Sawyer noted that he
had asked Mr.. Hauser for a full
statement 'in order that the pub
lie might be fully informed as to
the history and the basis of these
inquiries" The Secretary added
that Mr.. Hauser's reply gives all
the facts and puts this matter III
it's proper perspective"
Hoover Statement Noted.
Mr.. Hauser took note that for
mer President Hoover has been
quoted as saying he does not be-
lieve the Census Act he signed in
1929 authorizes the income ques-
tions. The consus chief declared:
Il should like to point out that
the 1880 census. conducted dur
ing President Hoover's adminis-
tration. for the first time included
a question on the value of homes
occupied by owners and the
monthly rental paid for tenant
occupied units. The legality
of these questions was not chal-
lenged, nor were they presumably
contrary to the intent of the law i,
as interpreted by the then direc-
tor Of the census and the then
Eecretary of Commerce under
President Hoover"
Mr.. Hauser disclosed that CEN
sus-takers will ask the following
questions in connection with data
on incomes:
"1) Last year l949) how
much money did this person earn
working as an employe for wages
or salary? (2) Last year how
much money did this person earn
working in his own business, pro-
fessional practice or farm? 90
Last year how much money did
this person receive from interest,
dividends, veterans allowances,
pensions, rents or other income
(aslde from earnings) ?"
To Question Every Fifth Person.
MI. Hauser said these questions
are to be asked every fifth person
in a manner so determined that
the selection of the person is en-
tirely a matter of chance. Specific
amounts below $4,000 year will
be recorded, as such, while any
one making more than $4,000 will
be listed as simply "over S10,0O0."
Mr.. Hauser said.
1t is this procedure that the
aroused Republicans have de-
nounced as raw injustice" to the
average citizen. Mr.. Hauser OBJ
served, however. that sit would
seem utterly useless to request
specific reports for persons with
relatively large incomes merely
for the purpose of consolidating
them into a single category for
statistical purposes.
Mr.. Hauser again stressed these
two points: That under the law
all information collected by CEN
sus workers will receive COM
pletely confidential treatment"
and any person who does not
care to answer questions to his
local enumerator has the privilege
of mailing them directly to Wash
ington.
