senior Judge of the Civil and
Police Court, adjourned a spe-
cial holiday session in memory
of his associate.
Mabel, of 20 West Walnut street,
Alexandria, and a son, Capt.
Harry F. Kennedy, jr.. U. S. A.,
who recently returned from
Korea.
Came to City in 1905.
Judge Kennedy had served as
substitute judge of the court by
appointment of Circuit Judge
William P. Woolls for % years
until last April. Last year he
was elected to the Office under
a new law giving the court a
second judge.
Born in Altoona, Pa, Judge
Kennedy came to Alexandria in
1905. He received a law degree
in 1911 from Georgetown Uni
versity and was admitted to the
District Bar in the same year.
He was a former president of
the Alexandria Bar Association.
During World War II, Judge
Kennedy served as a Govern
ment appeal agent for the draft.
During the Washington area
blackout restrictions during the
war, Judge Kennedy was pro-
jected into the public eye when
he insisted that violators of the
restrictions be jailed.
"a blackout law is either good
or it is bad" he commented
at the time; sit cannot be sue
cessfully enforced by halfway
measures"
Helped Organize Boys Club
During the test blackouts, he
took the firm position that only
the District areas civil defense
officials had any way of knowing
whether the blackouts were
tests or for real emergency.
Isolated violations" he said,
"endanger the entire COM
munity."
About two years ago, he figured
in a controversy centering on
right turns at Alexandria main
| intersection at King and Wash.
ington streets.
The Alexandria Traffic Board
had charged that he dismissed
cases against all drivers accused
of making right turns there.
Buses are permitted to make the
turn.
"As long as bus can make
that turn, the average citizen is
privileged to make it also as far
as I am concerned" he said.
Were all supposed to have equal
privileges"
Judge Kennedy helped organ
ize the Alexandria Boys Club
and had served as its president
for Is consecutive years.
He was active in Masonic
affairs and was a 33d-degree
Mason. He was past master Of
the Alexandria Washington Ma
sonic Lodge and helped organ
ize the Alexandria Chapter Of
DeMolay. He also was a past
president of the Virginia State
ElkS.
Funeral services were to be
arranged later today.

Big Three Reported
Urging U. n. Rebuke

BY III. A..eeio.sd Pres.

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y, Oct.
20. = The Western Big Three
were reported ready today to
urge Security Council rebuke
against Israel for the recent bor-
der killings in an adjoining Arab
village, and to call for more
United Nation "watchdogs" in
the troubled area.
Israel Chief Delegate Abba S.
Eban also served notice he in
tends to go over the whole Mid
die East security question before
the Council this afternoon. Mr..
Eban accused the Arab states
last night of conniving to keep
up tension in Palestine.
Western sources said Britain,
France and the United States
would submit resolution to the
Council this afternoon denounc-
ing the armed Israeli raid on
the Jordan village of Kibya
which cost SO Arab lives. They
said the resolution also would
call for more truce supervisors
in Palestine to guard the peace
along the Arab-Jewish borders.
Arms Embargo Studied.
DISPATCHES from London said
the Big Three were considering
also asking for an automatic
arms embargo against whichever
side the Council finds guilty of
violating the truce agreements
in the future.
One U. N. source said if truce
violations were labeled formal
aggressions the embargo would
follow anyway.
The reported plan to increase
the truce supervisors brought
praise from the Arabs and sharp
criticism from Israel.
Syia's Rafik Asha declared,
Anything that would lead to
respect for the truce agreement
would be welcome"
Mr., Eban said such a program
would be "bereft of statesman
ship and wisdom"

was discussing the entire threat

LONDON, Oct. 29.-Britain's s
Conservative government stud
led preliminary arrangements
for a five-power conference on
Trieste today after winning a
House Of Commons vote of ap-
proval for its handling of the
explosive issue.
Despite opposition charges of
bungling, Prime Ministe r
Churchill's forces captured a 28-
vote majority on the ballot, tax
en- last night at the close of a
lengthy debate. The vote was
296 to 268.
Foreign Minister Anthony
Eden told the House that the
most hopeful methods of dealing
with the bitter Italian -Yugoslav
dispute over the free territory
was a conference of the two dis
putants with France, Britain
and the United States.
Mr.. Eden declared, however,
that Britain would stick by the
British United States decision
to withdraw their occupation
troops from the territory's Zone
A and turn it over to Italy.
Yugoslavia's president. Marshal
Tito, whose forces occupy Tri-
estes Zone B. has threatened to
march troops into Zone A the
minute the Italians move in.
Opposition Laborite spokes-
men charged that in announcing
this plan, the two Western allies
had blundered to the point that
an armed fight might take place
between Italy and Yugoslavia
over possession of the strategic
Adriatic territory.

Agency Set 10 Go
To Give Economic
Help 10 Israel
By Gornett D. Horner

Foreign Operations Admins
tration officials said today they
were "all set to go" in supplying
economic aid to Israel under a
S26-million grant that quickly
followed Israeli agreement to CO.
operate with the United Nations
to solve a Jordan River dispute.
President Eisenhower was de
lighted" and other administra-
ton officials breathed sighs Of
relief at the smoothing over of
an international crisis that had
threatened domestic political re-
percuSSionS in New York.
Secretary of State Dulles an
nounced the $26-million grant to
Israel late yesterday, just eight
days after he had confirmed that
the program was being held up
because Israel was defying a
United Nations agents decision
about Jordan River develop
ment.
Suspended for Month.
Actually, officials made clear.
the Israeli aid program had been
suspended for about a month.
The suspension followed a
finding on September % by Gen.
Vagn Bennike, chief of staff of
the U. N. group supervising the
1sraeli-Arab armiStice, that an
Israeli power project on the
Jordan River jeopardized Syria's
interests.
Mr.. Dulles recalled in a state
ment yesterday that Gen. Ben
nike asked Israel to stop work
on this project pending some
arrangement which would insure
in its conformity with the Israel
Syria armistice agreement" and
that Israel did not meet Gen.
Bennike'S request"
Israel agreed Tuesday, how
ever, to stop the work in the
demilitarized zone between Israel
and Syria pending consideration
of the matter by the U. N. Sc
curity Council.
Assured of Cooperation.
Mr.. Dulles also noted-and a
State Department spokesman
called special attention to this
portion of his statement-thaU
Israel's spokesman assured the
Council his government would
in the future cooperate with
the councils efforts to reach a
solution, taking account of all
legitimate interests"
Mr.. Dulles concluded that
American policy Ito support the
United Nations truce supervision
organization in this matter has
thus been realized and the i'm
pediment to the present grant of
economic aid to Israel has been
removed"
The Secretary announced he
was recommending to President
Eisenhower that Israel be granted
approximately $26 million for the
first six months of the current
fiscal year. Gen. Eisenhower
appoval was a foregone conclu-
sion, since he had told a news
conference earlier that it had
been decided to resume aid to
Israel.
Previously Earmarked.
Mr.. Dulles said the $26 million
figure was the amount which
previously had been tentatively
earmarked for Israel in agree
ment with FOA Director Harold
Stassen. FOA officials said they
were in position to go forward
Immediately with procurement
of various supplies to be shipped
to Israel under the program since
detailed plans for portion of the
program had been worked out
before the recent suspension.
Mr.. Dulles said programs for
economic aid to ISrael'S Arab
neighbors also are "in an ad-
vanced state of formulation, and
1t is expected that some of them
can shortly be announced"
