David’s Street early yesterday, kill
ing two Arab children and wound
ing a dozen Arab civilians.
Glubb Tours Front.
A personal tour of the front was
made yesterday by Brig. John Glubb
Pasha, a Briton and commander
of the legion. He was wearing the
red and white legion headdress.
When I reached the legion's for
ward command post at dusk Jewish
machine guns were chattering close
by.
The old city is tragically battered.
Shrines, such as the Dome of the
the Rock and the Holy Sepulchre
are stille unscathed, however.
(The United Nations at Lake
Success has received a complaint
from Abdullah that a mortar
shell fell during a Jewish of
fensive Monday within the
mosque compound in front of
the Dome above the Sacred Rock
site of the mosque of Omar.)
Ninety Arab civilians lie wounded
in the Austrian hospice within
the old city. A nurse said hundreds
of others have been given first aid
since the cease-fire agreement was
broken on the night of May 14.
Arab civilians watched the legion
firing from vantage points near
Jerusalem. I drove up the Jericho
Road to Jerusalem over repaired
stretches where two weeks ago
Hagana blew up culverts and a
small bridge.
Battle Seen Raging.
From Salwan village I could see
the battle raging in the old city.
Puffs of smoke rose from hits scored i
by Arab Legion guns on a cluster
of buildings manned by Hagana.
Later. at-St. Stephen's Gate, Arab
national guardsmen assured me that
legionnaires had established them
selves far forward in the old city.
After a 30-minute walk through
darkened passageways I reached
the advanced infantry post. The;
lieutenant in command said his men
had not suffered any casualties. As i
he spoke, the rattle of automatic
weapon fire could be heard from
Jewish quarters.
Earlier the 1.000 to 1.500 Jews in
the old city were reported to have I
sent word to Abdullah asking the
legion to accept their surrender, be
cause they feared to yield to the
Arab irregulars.
The King was said to have replied

Teen-Agers Learn to Handle
Junior at Baby-Sitter Clinic
A group of Georgetown teen
agers is learning how to handle
junior during their baby-sitting
hours as well as mamma and papa
ever could.
About 30 girls from the area are
enrolled in the baby-sitters’ clinic of
Georgetown House, a Community
Chest agency, at 3224 N street N.W.
Aim of the course is to teach
youthful sitters how to handle and
entertain babies and children.
When baby howls and howls after
his parents have left, the successful
graduate Georgetown baby-sitter
will be prepared to pacify him. ac
cording to Miss Lorraine Juneman,
head nursery school teacher at
Georgetown House.
New Toys Suggested.
Miss Juneman discussed the psy
chological aspects of haridling chil
dren at an opening class last night
at the center. To attentive teen
aged listeners she . made recom
mendations for keeping the child
occupied while his parents are away.
’’The young child today is better
educated, generally, than ever be
fore," she declared, ’’and it’s up to
the sitter frequently to keep pace
with his Interests.”
She suggested bringing along new
toys to the child—educational, con
structive toys, ranging from modern
brightly colored nursery beads for
infants to intricate peg boards for
older preschool children.
Simple phychology should be ap
plied in making the child behave,
she stressed.
‘‘Never spank a little boy," she;
advised. “First, because his parents
may not like it when he tells them
and, secondly, because he’ll ever
after associate you with pain.”
The youngsters listened to her ad
vice on handling youngsters, but
their questions were devoted almost
exclusively to the sitter’s problems.
Dresses Preferred.
“Should we wear Jeans or dresses?”
one little girl queried. "Babies al
ways spill thing all over me, and
jeans are usually more comfortable,
anyhow."
Miss Juneman declared parents
like a clean, fresh-looking baby
sitter, and said she preferred
dresses.
“How* do you make sure people
will ask you back?” Another little
girl wanted to know.
Miss Juneman didn’t get a chance
to answer.
“Make friends with the child,” a
(pig-tailed youngster promptly de
clared. “If he likes you, you come
back again, or else.”
A class at 7:30 o'clock tonight will
be devoted to discussion of physical
care of babies. At tomorrow night's
Cession, the teen-agers will be told
what parents expect of them as
I sitters.

Syrians Claim Town
Below Sea of Galilee
DAMASCUS, Syria. May 18 (De
layed) (/Pi.—1The Syrian army said
tonight that it occupied Samakh, at
the base of the Sea of Galilee, this
morning and found 172 “enemy”
bodies in the city.
Samakh is less than five miles
from the Syrian border, inside Pal
estine.
The Byrian army communique
said.
“Our forces occupied Samakh and
surrounding fortified positions this
morning. They pursued the retreat
ing enemy, capturing two armored
cars and trucks full of ammunition
and machine guns and cannon.
“The enemy left 172 bodies and
a large number of wounded were
carried to our hospital. Our losses
were small.

plane over the Iraq lines."

raid yesterday, the fourth straight
day of enemy bombings. A direct
hit in yesterday’s third raid smashed
a bus station in the middle of town
and the best reports said at least 20
persons were killed.
Some sources said the death toll
for the first four days of air bomb
ings in Tel Aviv might be as high
as 33, with the number of wounded
about four times that figure.
Most of the previous air raids
were on outlying districts of this
all-Jewish city, but yesterday a
fighter bomber, which civilian ob
servers said bore green Egyptian
markings, dived five times to within
a thousand feet of the crowded
square in which the bus station was
situated. It dropped a single frag
mentation bomb>each time.
In between dives it circled over
the city, unchallenged save for light
anti-aircraft fire. One bomb de
stroyed Tel Aviv's only double
decker bus, beloved of the city’s
children. It was the third raid of
the day.
The raiders returned again by the
light of a nearly full moon and
kept the city under raid alerts until
well after midnight. It was the
first night raid on Tel Aviv.
(In Cairo the Egyptian defense
ministry’s communique said the
Egyptian air force bombed mili
tary objectives southeast of .Tel
Aviv. It did not mention an at
tack on the city but conceded the
loss of one plane in yesterday's
air operations, which included
raids on colonies northeast of
Gaza.
Jews Secure Hold on Acre.
In Acre, the Arab city which sur
rendered yesterday to Hagana. the
main Jewish army, the Jews con
solidated their victory, jailing sus
picious persons in Acre prison, the
largest in Palestine, and seizing
quantities of arms and munitions.
The city, hard hit by a recent
typhoid epidemic, appeared to be
returning to normal today. One
barber shop opened and did a rush
business shaving Hagana fighters
who grew three days of whiskers
before conquering Acre.
The Jews took the city, which had
foiled other invaders — including
Napoleon—for centuries, after 72
hours of house-to-house and street
to-street fighting. Acre is outside
the boundaries of the Jewish state
drawn by the United Nations in its
Palestine partition decision last
year.
In Haifa, Hagana took over one
hotel and prepared to take over
another to care for Jewish refugees
fleeing from the Jordan Valley be

Warned by an anonymous

Embassy officials said the call

there would be a “demonstra

Communist Radio Time
To Answer Debate Canceled
NEW YORK, May 19 (>P).—A
broadcast scheduled for tonight to j
permit the Communist Party to1
reply to charges made in the Thom
as E. Dewey-Harold E. Stassen de
bate Monday night was canceled
today.
The Mutual Broadcasting System
said the 9 p.m. (EST) program was
canceled when the communist Par
ty refused to appear against Nor
man Thomas, Socialist presidential
candidate. Another topic will be
substituted on the “Opinlonaire
program at that time. ,
A Communist Party spokesman
| said, however, Mutual had informed ,
the party it had been unable to
| find a member of Congress who
would appear on the program in
opposition. The Communist answer
to the Dewey-Stassen statements
was to evolve around a debate on (
the Mundt-Nixon bill to control
subversive activities.
The spokesman said the party
had refused to debate with Mr.
Thomas because “his views on the
bill are not clearly defined.” He
said no reply had been received
from the ABC and NBC networks
to similar requests for radio time.

Second-Hand Reports,

TEL AVIV, Israel, May 19.—News
coverage of the Palestine war has
become so fragmentary and so!
second-hand these last few days that
correspondents here have no assur
ance their dispatches are not mis
informing.
In part this is because of the need
of censorship for military security..
How much of the rest is due to war
tront developments and how much
to the inexperience of the new pub- j
He relations and press establishment!
In this Jewish headquarters city!
cannot Immediately be Judged.
In the last four days dispatches
reporting a succession of air raids
oa Tel Aviv give a good example.
It is incorrect to assume from these
that there have been extensive
oombings of the city.
The attacks are described only as
laving been made on Tel Aviv be
:ause censorship forbids specific
Identification of the district at
tacked.
Actually, informative reporting of
the situation on the battlefronts of
the north, south and east has been
*ven more difficult.
Foreign reports, heard here, said
the Syrians from the north and
the Egyptians from the south linked
ip at Lydda. These reports are re
garded as unlikely, but It simply is
lot known here whether they are
true.
It was reported that the Egyptians
pushed an armored column up the
ttoast past Gaza to within 500 miles
if Tel Aviv. It is not known here
whether that is true.
Since the Jewish state proclaimed
its independence last Friday and
the Arab Invasions began, no for

permitted to see any action for first

Sol. Nevitt which stated:
“Any order purporting to be is

Col. Mann said that, as he reads

His claim to temporary command
stems from his contention of senior

his colonelcy in the Army of the
United States in November, 1941,
and in the National Guard in Oc

Col. Nevitt’s present rank dates

The action followed a move in

Cited by Thompson in
Eviction Suit Fight
Huston Thompson, target for the
last week of an eviction suit filed by
the family of Rear Admiral Joseph
J. "Jocko” Clark, Asslststnt Chief of
Naval Operations for Air, was to re
turn to the witness stand today to
show why he should not be ousted
from the Clarks’ apartment house at
2500 Massachusetts avenue N.W.
Mr. Thompson, former chairman
of the Federal Trade Commission,
testified at length yesterday on some
of the improvements he said he has
made on the premises in the past 26
years of his occupancy of a 10-room
first-floor suite.
Built Pavilion.
Prime among these was a "sum
mer pavilion” which Mr. Thompson
said he had built in the rear of the
building. He said he built it so
children could have a place to
play and so adults could enjoy Rock
Dreek Park “from this very beauti
ful spot of a summer evening.”
He said the project, which in
cluded mowing down of weeds and
jnderbrush, cost him $300. He
still pays to have the weeds cut,
ne said. Yesterday he complained
nis apartment is infested by Japa
aese wat4r bugs.
In the midst of his testimony the
Clarks' attorney, Herman Miller,
mterrupted to object to the de
fense’s line of procedure.
“This case centers only on the
food faith of my clients’ contention
;hat they need the apartment for
sheir own personal use,” the lawyer
irgued before Judge George D.
feilson. “What the tenants have
lone to Improve the place or what
heir circumstances are makes no
iifference.”
Maia resumes.

mitted Attorney H. Clay Espey to
iroceed, with the Thompson’s maid,
Sophie Thornton, of 1153 Twentieth
street N.W., testifying pn * Jdn

noving. The maid added that the
jroker. Miss Frances Powell Hill,
issured her ‘‘they don’t have to

Meanwhile, the Clarks said they
lave been subjected to protests from

One neighbor, she said, even called
Admiral Clark’s superior at the Navy
Department to object.
Mrs. Clark said the home, which
s not covered by a restrictive cov
;nant, will be turned over to the
family by June 16. The husband,
she said, is a graduate of Harvard

the car ahead would proceed. When
it did not move, he pulled sharply
to the left, striking the Gill car a
glancing blow, which damaged the
steering mechanism and fender of
the Fire Department car and a fen
der of the other car, he said.
Skidded on Wet Pavement.
In answer to questions by Prose
cutor Edward A. Beach and Mr.
Jamieson, Mr. Dalstrom said he
thought the accident was unavoid*
able, that he applied his brakes,
but skidded on the wet pavement.
Both Mr. Dalstrom and Mr. Gill
testified She superintendent probably
could have stopped in time had it
not been raining.
Mr. Gill corroborated testimony
taken by a Fire Department Board
of Inquiry that he "could not say
Mr. Dalstrom was drunk," but that
he believed his physical condition
was "due to the jar of the accident."
Miss Violet Scruggs, 438 Orange
street S.E., a passenger in Mr. Gill’s
car, said she noticed “nothing out
of the way” about Mr. Dalstrom,
smelled no liquor on his breath and
did not see him stagger.
Mr. Dalstrom was questioned
about a sobriety test taken in the
Hyattsville police station, which led
to testimony by Dr. George Louis
Weller, jr„ a member of the Board
of Police and Fire Surgeons, that
he was ‘‘under the influence of
Repeats Twister.
“When you were asked to repeat
the twister, ‘Third riding artillery!
brigade,* how did you say it?” Mr.'
Beard asked. Hi ' v-.. .. 'xx. ■ *
"*m«l wosifflr artmery bregrade,” j
was the reply.
Mr. Dalstrom explained he had:
difficulty pronouncing some words j
and was not aware at the time of;
the test that Be had bungled the
sentence. In fact, he repeated It for
Dr. Weller the same way, thinking
he was ‘‘passing the test,” the su
perintendent said.
In his summation, Mr. Jamieson
called Lt. Mulligan a “sundown cop”
who worked part time for the Gov
ernment Printing Office and the re- j
maining time as Prince Georges
County deputy sheriff and Colmar
Manor policeman. The officer had
testified he worked three months a
year at the printing office and nine
months at law enforcement.
“He Is a hick cop who apparently
has something against District fire
men,” Mr. Jamieson said.

Lovett Consult* With Committee.
Under Secretary of State Robert
A. Lovett was in consultation with
the committee and Chairman Van
denberg said the State Department
is in,agfeemen on the resolution.
Asked if the reference to arma
ment reduction in paragraph 5
might form a basis for taking up
Premier Stalin’s latest suggestion
for peace talks, Senator Vanden
berg said this resolution deals with
the "universal activities" of UN and
that neither he nor his committee
will discuss it in terms of its rela
tion to any specific country.
Paragrph one limits the reference
to elimination of the veto power
to "specific settlements" and 'ad
mission of new members.” Recent
hearing brought out testimony by
Government witnesses that com
plete elimination of the veto would
give foreign governments the power
to commit American manpower and
weapons to action.
When the recent hearings began,
some members of the House urged
that this country take the lead in
setting up a new world organiza
tion without Russia, if necessary, to
make U. N. work. The State De
partment strongly advised against
trying to revamp the whole struc
ture of U. N. at this time, and in
dications today are that the Van
denberg resolution will forestall any
action by Congress that the State
Department demed unwise.
