Anglo-American Plan
For Palestine Called
'Workable' by Bevin
By the Associated Press
LONDON, Sept. 16.—Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin told the
Palestine conference today that
the British-American experts’
plan, for federalization of the
Holy Land into four provinces
with limited autonomy, was
‘ workable” and could lead to a
‘ final solution.”
In a 90-minute statement the For
eign Secretary detailed Britain's re
ply to criticism of federalization
which Arahs had leveled last week, a
conference spokesman reported.
The text of Mr. Bevin's speech was
not made public, but conference
sources emphasized he made no new
proposals.
Jews May Take Part.
Three members of the Jewish
Agency Executive flew to Paris to
day for a meeting of the committee.
Jewish sources said the discussions
might result in Jewish participation
in the London conference.
Their departure followed what one
source described as "informal con
tact” between British and Jewish
leaders over the week end. No de
tails of that contact were immedi
ately available, but members of the
Agency Executive are believed to
have seen either Colonial Secretary
George Hall or Mr. Bevin, privately.
The executive members who flew
to Paris this morning were Prof.
Selig Brodetski and Beryl Locker of
Britain and Dr. Nahum Goldman.
Washington representative of the
agency.
Soon after they left, delegates rep
resenting the seven states of the
Arab League resumed their talks
with British representatives at Lan
caster House.
Demand Jewish Stale.
One agency informant said that;
if the Jews decided to participate in
the London talks at the present
stage of the conferences, "it will cer
tainly be on the basis of our original
demand—which envisaged the estab
lishment of a ‘Jewish state within
an adequate area.’ ”
Other conference sources said that
the unanimous Arab League rejec
tion of four-way participation, as
urged by the British-American com
mittee, had prepared the way for
Jewish entry into the conference.
Now, they said, Britain appeared to
be convinced finally that no party
to a settlement in Palestine really
wanted federalization as announced
by Deputy Prime Minister Herbert
Morrison in the House of Com-:
mons July 31.
When the Lancaster House con
ference resumed this morning Mr.
Bevin was understood to have begun
his reply to the Arab delegation's
comments on the federalization
plan. During the course of his! |
address he v'as expected to ask the '
Arabs for counterproposals.
Faris Bey El Khoury, president
of the Syrian Chamber of Deputies
and official spokesman for the Arab j
League, is due to answer Mr. Bevin
later today. (
Saboteurs Who Wrecked
Police Station Sought
JERUSALEM, Sept. 16 (ff).—Pal
estine police, forwarned by a new!
threat of intensified terroism in the j
Holy Land, searched the Sarafand'
area .today for a bomb-carrying j
band, of saboteurs who- attacked aj
police .station dnd. wrecked power
lines m a raid last night. "
The warning of new vidlence'
came from the secret radio of-Irgun
Zvai- Leumi, Jewish underground
organization, a few hours after, po
lice had announced the arrest of 23
Irgun leaders.
Fifteen other men. described as
“suspected terrorists,” were arrested
this morning in a Jewish quarter
on the outskirts of Jerusalm and
were held for questioning.
The broadcast .said that Irgun,
which'has claimed responsibility for
many of the recfent outbreaks of
violence in Palestine, - planned re
newed and almost continuous acts
of terrorism.
It was not immediately clear what
organization was responsible for the
attack last night in the Sarafand
area, approximately 15 miles south
of Haif* Official sources said merely
that a Jewish band attacked" a po
lice station and' was driven oft after
an exchange of shots. The power!
lines were wrecked by a bomb "blast.'
The Palestine police, in referring1
to the arrest of 23 alleged members
of Irgun, said the Jews were picked;
up in Haifa and that a number were i
“high on our wanted list.” •
Hagana, the largest Jewish resist
ance movement in Palestine, and
the Jewish Agency Executive both
issued statements over the week end
condemning violence in Palestine.
The Irgun radio criticized Hagana
for what the announcer described
as its moderate attitude toward al
leged abuses of Zionists.
The broadcaster also accused the
British' of planning to' create "'a
Ghetto • in "Palestine, ruled by ■ a
puppet .government under" the'.lead
ership of another Petain or Laval.

24 Saved When Ship
Split in Hurricane
To Reach Port Today
By the Associated Pr«s*
NORFOLK, Va., Sept, 16—Twenty
four Norwegian seamen, picked up
in the Atlantic by rescue vessels
after the tanker Marit II broke in
two 148 miles off the North Caro
lina coast, where en route to East
Coast ports today while planes
and surface craft continued search
ing for 14 other members of the
Norwegian crew.
Lt. Comdr. J. R. Scullion. Coast
Guard public information officer at
Norfolk, said today it was unlikely
that additional survivors of the
foundered 7,417-ton Marit would be
found but that Army, Navy and
Coast Guard aircraft and Coast
Guard surface craft still pressed
their search.
The tanker Gulf Hawk, which
rescued six men from a life raft
last night, was proceeding toward
Delaware breakwater.
Picks Up 18 Survivors.
The tanker Pan Amoco, which
Dicked up 18 survivors yesterday
vas heading toward Morehead City,
*7. C.. where a Coast Guard cutter
vill take the Norwegians aboard
ind land them at Morehead City!
ibout 2 p.m. today.
The Gulf Hawk radioed the Coast
guard last night that the six sur- ,
dvors aboard were in "fair to j
sood” condition and required no!
nedical attention.
Comdr. Scullion said today the
7oast Guard’s first information was
:hat the Marit broke in half at
noon Friday, but that it is believed
it occurred Saturday, as the hurri
cane which swept up the coast last
week was not in the vicinity of
the Marit Friday.
First notification ashore that the
tropical storm had claimed major
prey came in a radio dispatch from
the Pan Amoco. It disclosed she
had picked up the 18 survivors in
a lifeboat yesterday.
round mx on Kail.
The, survivors reported in addi
tional radio messages that they be
lieved three more survivors were
alive on a raft but that 19 of the
ship's company had perished.
Late yesterday, however, a search
plane directed the Gulf Hawk to a
position 40 miles north of the first
rescue and six men were taken from
a raft.
Survivors aboard the Pan Amoco
reported the Marit II—bound from
Curacao, Netherlands "West Indies,
for New York with a cargo of fuel
oil—was stricken in the wind
whipped seas and split in half.
The two sections of the ship were
still afloat when they drifted out of
sight, these survivors said.
Coast Guard officers said these
sections would have to be hunted
down—if indeed they were afloat—
and destroyed as menaces to nav
igation.
Saw Oil Slick.
One Coast Guard plane out of
the base at Elizabeth City, N. C.,
reported sighting an oil slick ex
tending for 35 miles, but no- sign
of the ship sections. This same air
craft, one of half dozen or more
dispatched from coastal stations,
also reported an empty life x raft
drifting in the area. \
The Marit II, built 24 years ago,
was- operated by the Joseph P Jen
sen Co. of Arendal, Norway. Her
American agents are the Neptune

'Truth Serum' Restores Voice
Yank Lost in World War I
By tho Associated Press
GOLDENDALE, Wash., Sept. 16.—
A hair-raising ride with a stunt
pilot failed to do it. and hypnosis
had no effect, but Mark Smith, 51.
Klickitat County farmer, today
credited sodium pentathol, the so
called "truth serum,' with restoring
his voice, lost 28 years ago in a
World War I German artillery bar
rage in Prance.
And at the veterans' hospital at'
Vancouver, Wash., where Mr. Smith1
was treated. Dr. Ben E. Grant, com
i manding officer. verified that
sodium pentathol was administered,
and added it was the first case in
his knowledge of its use in re
storing speech.
It was good news for Mr. Smith's
73-year-old mother. Sarah, too, be
cause her eyesight is dimming and!
she was having increasing diffi-i
culty in reading her son s scratch
pad notes to her.
Mr. Smith a fortnight ago was
at the veterans' hospital for a kid
ney infection, and he said doctors
decided to experiment on whether
they could restore his voice.
“They tried hypnosis but I couldn't
go under,”’ he recounted.
“So the doctor asked if I'd be
willing to take a sodium pentatho!
shot. It relaxes the higher mental
centers and relieves tensions. I
agreed. The shot in the arm made
me sleepy.
"The doctor said ‘Signal just be
for you fall asleep.’ I did and the
doctor kept talking. He sounded
miles away. He kept asking me to
count ‘one, two, three, four.’ I tried
and at first it seemed I was whis
pering and then my voice came
louder and as I revived 1 heard
myself talking. I knew I could talk.
"Then I felt all faint and when
I came to the doctor was shaking
me to beat hell and I was talking.’’
Mr. Smith said he knew his vocal
mrds had been all right during his
speechless travail because "I’ve beep
Known to talk and sing and cuss
n my sleep.”
Head-On Train Collision

WHITEFISH, Mont., Sept. 16.-A
head-on collision of a troop train

railroad crewmen near here late |
Saturday night.
A Seattle-bound troop special and
Great Northern freight crashed with
such force that 16 lumber-laden
cars were piled up, two cars from
the special derailed and several
hundred feet of rails ripped out.
Only two of the injured required
hospitalization. First aid was neces
sary for'37 injured soldiers and two
sleeping car porters.
Most seriously hurt were J. S. Con
nelly of Whiteflsh, freight train en
gineer, hospitalized with a broken
aim and other injuries, and one col

Crew members said engineers of
both trains reduced their speed

Wallace
(Continued From First Page '
the so-called "tough" policy toward
Russia.
The President said he had intend
ed only to approve Mr. Wallace's
right to make the speech and took
on himself responsibility for a
“natural misunderstanding" that he
was indorsing what Mr. Wallace had
to say when he gave it his approval
Thursday.
State Department officials were
reported considering making a rec
ommendation to the President that
he either forbid foreign policy dis
cussions by Mr. Wallace, or else re
quire that all such speeches be
cleared with the department in ad
vance of delivery.
If the President should take such
action—which would give Mr. Byrnes
a veto on Wallace ideas—the Sec
retary of Commerce presumably
would have to decide whether to
remain in the cabinet. It can be
stated on excellent authority that
he feels deeply that American rela
tions with Russia are being handled
improperly and that he will not
lightly relinquish his campaign to
bring about a change.
Byrnes’ View Just Opposite.
Mr. Byrnes, on the other hand, is
represented by his friends as being
convinced that his policy of ‘'firm
ness" toward Russia and his willing
ness to work together with Britain
on common interests, as well as his
flat opposition to a Russian sphere
in Eastern Europe, are absolutely
essential to any chance of peace be
tween the United States and the
Soviet Union.
For that reason some officials say
that if Mr. Wallace continues to ad
vocate his proposals while keeping
his place in the Truman administra
tion, then Mr. Byrnes himself will
face a decision on whether he will
remain as Secretary of State.
The nature of Mr. Truman's Sat
urday statement tended to minimize
speculation that Mr. Wallace might
be eased out of the cabinet.
Nonetheless, diplomatic and poli
tical, observers suggested the Pres
ident must npw consider Mr. Wal
lace’s position in the cabinet in re
lation to both international and
domestic politics.
His t retention, these authorities
said, could be interpreted abroad as
indicating some presidential favor
for his foreign, policy ideas, while
to let him go could deprive the
administration of his vote-getting
powers in a congressional election
year.
Mr. Byrnes has remained silent; on
the issues since Mr. Wallace’s speech
Thursday night, although Senators
Connally and Vanderberg, members
of Byrnes’ peace conference delega
tion at Paris, in effect complained
that Mr. Wallace’s speech threat
ened the unity of American foreign
policy and badly embarrassed Mr.
Byrnes.
Some Handicap Remains.
Diplomatic authorities here said
the embarrassment had not been
entirely removed by Mr. Truman’s
Saturday statement. While the
State Department obviously hoped
that it’ had heard the last of the
whole matter, some officials said:
1. Mr. Truman’s disavowal was
drastically modified in its effects
as a blow to Mr. Wallace and a
boost to Mr. Byrnes by the fact
that he fully sanctioned Mr. Wal
lace’s right to make the speech.
2. Because of the fact that the
speech stood for two days with ap
parent White House approval of its
ideas the .leaders of many foreign
governments will be uncertain for
months whether the President ac
tually means to swing American

Wallace Talk Shows
U. S. Uneasiness Over
t
Policies, Pravda Says
By *h» Associated Fross
LONDON. Sept. 16—A Pravda
editorial broadcast from Moscow
today said the New York speech
by Secretary of Commerce Wallace
showed signs of uneasiness in the
United States that American policy
might lead to “disastrous conse
quences."
The Communist party newspaper
said Mr. Wallace "was compelled to
make some very significant admis
sions."
“Wallace could not deny." the
editorial said, “the existence of
dangerous imperialist tendencies in
the U. S. A. and Britain and said
that if the Americans managed to
overcome imperialist tendencies in
the western world there would be
no war. * * •
Reflects Uneasiness.
“There is no doubt that this
speech * * * reflects the uneasiness
of the more far-sighted elements in
the U. S. A. in connection with
those disastrous consequences to
which the further strengthening of
imperialist militarist tendencies in
American policy may lead.”
Mr. Wallace, Pravda said, “point
ed out that the U. S. A. was arm
ing itself to the teeth and that
the American press was, in most
cases, propagating the idea of war
in the hope of intimidating the
Soviet Union."
“Wallace describes this as crim
inal foolishness," the newspaper
continued, adding:
“We can agree with this descrip
tion."
Pravda declared that “it is known
that the American policy of eco
nomic subjugation of the British
empire, as the price for support of
British reactionary colonial policy,
was the basis for the establishment
of the so-called Anglo-Saxon bloc."
Troops Go Together.
“American troops together with
British troops exercise police func
tions in the Near East,” it said.
"American military equipment is
used for suppression of the Indo
nesian national movement. But not
withstanding all this, the military
agreement between the U. S. A. and
Canada finally excludes this oldest
dominion from the political orbit of
London.
"That same Australia, which has
recently been playing the role of the
most active armor bearer of the
Anglo-Saxon powers, is subjected to
the strongest pressure on the part
of the U. S. A. and will obviously be
compelled to yield its island bases
in the Pacific.'’
“American aspirations to world
hegemony, which have very greatly
gained in strength since the war,”
the editorial concluded, "are fanned
by the activity of the American war
machine in their policy of seizing
bases and bridgeheads far beyond
the boundaries of American terri
tory.”
Name-Calling Won't Move
Navy, Lippmann Says
NEW YORK, Sept. 16 i/P).—Walter
Lippmann, New York Herald Trib
une foreign affairs columnist, said
today in answer to an attack on
him by the Soviet government news
paper Izvestia that the publication
“won’t get rid of the American
naval forces in the Mediterranean
by calling me names.”
Izvestia yesterday termed Mr.
Lippmann the “ardent troubador of
imperialist circles in the United
States” and assailed him for de
fending the idea of a display of
American naval strength in the
Mediterranean.
Mr. Lippman said in a telephone
interview:
"There is no point in exchanging
adjectives with the editor of Izvestia.
But I suppose he realizes that he
won’t get rid of the American naval
forces in the Mediterranean by call
ing me names.”

SEATTLE, Sept. 16.—Sheriff’s
deputies were conducting a search
today for Raymond Robert Hull, 44,
grand-nephew of former Secretary

Silk Stockings Guarded
Armed guards accompanied a mo

3. The only outright support Mr.
Truman gave Mr. Byrnes in his
statement Saturday was the prom
ise that he, along with congres

policy. In addition, there was im

same time that one of the three
employer associations, the Master
Truckmen of America, had asked
that it be allowed to deal with the
union, apart from the other two.
A spokesman at City Hall said it
was hoped that the union member
ship, which last week voted not to
authorize signing of separate agree
ments, would go along this time
with the "divide and conquer’’
strategy.
Only the membership of Local
807 need ratify the agreement, since
the other two locals have empow
ered their negotiating committees
to enter into an agreement.
Calls Offer “Out of Line.”
Joseph M. Adelizzi, chairman of
the Joint Wage Scale Committee
representing the Motor Carrier As
sociation and the State Motor
Truck Association, said in a state
ment that the new wage offers were
“outrageously out of line” and
would be opposed by his group "to
the utmost.”
A union official recalled'that a
1938 trucking tieup similar to the
present strike was ended within 24
hours after the Daniels <fc Kennedy
firm, haulers of newsprint and gen
eral commodities, broke away from
other operators and signed a sep
arate contract with Local 807.
The strike has forced closing of
two major food chains, the A. & P.
and Safeway Stores, with a com
bined total of 770 stores and 13,500
employes, and other industries de
pendent on trucks manned by mem
bers of the. striking locals, and has
resulted in drastic curtailment of
the use of newsprint by all dailv
newspapers.

In reporting the theft, Lt. Sentner

Lt. Sentner said that a month

taken. Col. Quade said.
A maple sofa and matching arm
chair were stolen from the St. John’s

the basement door, police said.
A portable bar, a dresser set, three
radios, a toaster and saucepans were

Boys on Way to Face
Charges in Slaying of
Father, Stepmother
ly tho Associated Press
BARSTOW. Calif.. Sept. 16-Two
teen-age youths were enroute to
their home in Northern California
today to face charges of killing one
boy's father and stepmother.
They are Billy Anderson, 16, and
Nathan Edwards James, 15, who.
District Attorney Lloyd Hewitt of
Sutter County said, had confessed
the slaying September 8 In Yuba
City of Rancher W. H. Anderson and
Mrs. Donnie Marie Anderson, Billy a
father and stepmother. •
With them In their brief flight
from California, but not implicated
in *the slayings, was 12-year-old
Marilyn Hodge.
Mr. Hewitt and Sheriff G. W. Car
penter of Yuba City planned to take
the three by automobile to Yuba
City.
Caught in Trying to Cash Check.
Billy was taken into custody here
when he tried to cash a check, was
transferred for questioning to San
Bernardino and returned here sec
retly last night.
Nathan and the girl were picked
up in Topock, Ariz., questioned at
Kingman and brought here last
night to rejoin Billy in a reunion
that was marked by silence when
the two boys passed each other in
the jail.
Alternately tearful and calm, the
boys gave matching stories of the
slayings, the district attorney said.
Boys Recount Murders.
Mr Hewitt said the Anderson boy
told of firing a blast from a 12
gauge shotgun at the side of his
father's face just after the James
boy had shot the stepmother with
a .22-caliber rifle. A second shot
was fired into Mrs. Anderson’s bodv
by Nathan. Mr. Hewitt said. The
boys, hiding outside, fired through
a window.
' I did it because the folks were no
tough on me and my stepmother
never did get along with me,” Mr.
Hewitt quoted Billy as saying.
The trio long had planned to run
away but the girl, the boys insisted,
was never aware of the slayings,
Mr. Hewitt recounted. They picked
her up after the shooting, which
occurred in the bedroom of the
Anderson home, and later separat
ed driving the Andersons’ two cars.
Mr. Hewitt said the boys stuffed
the bodies into the compartment or
one car and later Billy dumped his
father’s body beside a creek east of
Yuba City and his stepmother’s
body was left on a rock pile near
Oroville.
Next day he cashed checks total
ing nearly $300 and the trio’s out
of-State dash began, the district
attorney revealed.
Two Carnegie (III.) Mills
Idle Under Picketing
By th* Associated Press
GARY, Ind., Sept. 16.—The sheet
| and tin mills of the Carnegie Illinois
Steel Corp. here were idle today be
cause of what company spokesmen
said was a strike of clerical employes
and what the union termed a "com
pany lockout.”
A spokesman for United States
Steel, of which Carnegie Illinois la
a division, said that Local 3,008, CIO
United Steelworkers' Salaried Cleri
cal Union, had established picket
lines around the two plants, when
the first shift reported last mid
night.
Only supervisory and maintenance
employes crossed the lines, he add
ed. The two mills employ about 6,
800 workers on three shifts.
The company spokesman declared
that the union had filed “no formal
grievance,” but added “it is obvious
that a company plan for consoli
dation of the planning production
departments of the two mills is re
sponsible for the picketing.”
A union spokesman said the pro
posed consolidation was “largely re
sponsible” for the picketing, but em
phasized there was no strike.
"It is purely a company lockout,”
he asserted, without elaboration.
