Bernadotte Submits
Palestine Peace Plan
To Jews and Arabs
ly th« Auociatod Prm
RHODES, June 28.—Jews and
Arabs received from Count Folke
Bernadotte today his proposals for
peace in Palestine. Count Bema
dotte is the United Nations medi
ator who brought about the current
four-week armistice.
The suggestions, which the medi
ator called a “basis for further dis
cussion,” were not published.
(Premier Jamil Mardambey of
Syria said in Damascus the pro
posals will “in no way modify our
attitude of rejecting partition
and a Jewish state in Palestine.”
Jews are just as insistent that
the new state of Israel must
continue to exist.)
»i»ds ana jews Leaving.
Jewish experts flew from this
Greek island to Tel Aviv this morn
ing with the proposal. Arab experts
are flying to Cairo late today. Paul
Mohn of Sweden and Constantine
Stavropoulos of Greece will accom
pany the Arabs and explain the
Count's peace plan to an Arab
League subcommittee meeting in
Cairo tomorrow night. Both are
members of the U. N. mediator's
staff. John Reedman of South
Africa, also one of Count Berna
dotte’s aides, is to present the pro
1 posals in Tel Aviv to the Israeli
government.
<At the U. N.'s Lake Success
headquarters, both the Berna
dotte formula and the reaction
of the disputing parties are ex
pected to be known before the
end of the week.)
Count Bernadotte indicated his
proposals are not a hard-and-fast,
take-it-or-leave-it peace plan. He
said, ‘‘Both parties have the right
to come forward with counter
' suggestions.-’
‘ Count Bernadotte has undertaken
| negotiations during a four-week
j truce that runs out July 9. He told
reporters he could not say whether
j his discussions "will result in pro
' longations of the truce.”
Egypt Pledges Inquiry.
Count Bernadotte said the Egyp
tian premier has promised a thor
: ough investigation of the incident in
which an Egyptian Spitfire shot at
a U. N. plane In Palestine lsist Fri
| day.
The premier told him, Count
Bernadotte said, that ‘‘if the results
show the Egyptian pilots had not
acted according to orders they will
be punished.”
He said he has asked Jewish
authorities to “answer some ques
tions” on how his truce observers
came to be barred from a beach near
Natanya w'hen Irgun Zvai Leumi
tried to land .munitions there last
Tuesday over Israeli government op
! position.
! Lsraell authorities in Tel Aviv last
night freed Monroe Fein, 25, Chi
cago war veteran and captain of
the landing ship which tried to
unload the munitions. His release
was apparently conditional. He was
arested Tuesday. Charges against
him have not been made public.
He said three of his crew were killed
when Israeli government forces fired
on his ship. Besides Fein, 60 other
men of combat age, presumably
from the ship, aiso have been
arrested.
The Israeli army began to throw
off its secrecy. The army was to
swear allegiance to Israel today.
High officers took the oath yester
dav before Prime Minister “David
Ben-Gurion. Others were sworn in
Jerusalem. The chief of staff was
disclosed to be Yaakov Dostrowsky.
The World Jewish Congress
opened its second plenary session
yesterday in Montreaux, Switzer- i
land. Delegates on hand from 60
countries included 35 Americans.
The president, Rabbi Stephen S.
Wise of' New York, voiced hope
Britain will recognize Israel soon.
King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan

Declared Unworthy.
“All these facts prove that the
leading persons in the Communist
Party of Yugoslavia took a stand
point unworthy of Communists, on
the lie of which they began to iden
tify the foreign policy of Soviet
Rusisa with that of the imperialistic
powers and they treat Soviet Rus
sia in the same manner as they
I treat the bourgeois states.
“As a result of this anti-Soviet
' policy in the central committee of
the Communist Party of Yugoslavia,
slanderous propaganda borrowed
from the arsenal of counter-revolu
tionary Trotzkvism, about the -de
generatino’ of the all-Communist
union of Bolsheviks and about the
degeneration’ of the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics was con
ducted. The Cominform condemns
these anti-Soviet conceptions of
leading members of the Yugoslav
Communist Party as incompatible
Iwith Marxism-Leninism and as
I suitable for nationalists only.”

dential years have always led up a
blind alley in both parties.
No Law to Govern Voting.
The primary is strictly a party
affair in the District for, unlike
the States, there is no law to gov
ern or regulate the voting. In both
the Republican primary last month
and the present Democratic one,
dissident groups challenging the
regular organizations have taken
court action.
In the Democratic case the court
fight was by a group backed by the
liberal. anti-Communist Americans
for Democratic Action. The group
finally wound up with four of its
members among the 12 names on the
list of candidates for convention j
delegate. Each will have a half
vote. Six of the 22 candidates for
the Central Committee also are
backed by ADA and again there is
no contest.
Both the ADA and the Veterans
for Eisenhower are asking voters j
today to bind the delegates to the
presidential preference choice until
a majority of the 12 local delegates
decide to switch. This presumably
would cover at least the first con
vention ballot. Mr. Hildreth is a

group would prefer either Gen.

Truman Statement.
Mr. Truman's statement on sign
ing the bill follows:
"I have signed today H. R. 6801.
the Foreign Aid Appropriation Act,!
1949, providing funds for-the first;
year of the European Recovery Pro
gram, for aid to Greece, Turkey and
China, for meeting our participation;
in the International Children's!
Fund and the International Refugee!
Organization. The total appropria
tion for these purposes included in [
the act is $6,030,710,228.
"By far the largest item in this |
act is the $4,000,000,000 appropria
tion for economic co-operation with!
Europe. I know that the American:
people share the deep sense of satis
faction which I feel in taking this1
final step to make the European!
Recovery Program effective. It fur-;
nishes concrete evidence and assur
ance to the free peoples of the world
that we stand ready to work side by;
side with them to preserve free insti
tutions in stability and peace
Represents Combined Judgment.
“In June of last year the United
States indicated its readiness to!
work with the countries of Europe
in developing a program of joint
action to achieve economic recovery.
Representatives of 16 European
countries drew up a program in re
sponse to this suggestion and sub
mitted it to this Government in
September. After careful study I
submitted to the Congress on De
cember 19 recommendations for leg
islation to make the European Re
covery Program a reality. Following
full consideration by the Congress,
this legislation was enacted on
April 3.
•‘Then began the last step in the
legislative process—the enactment of
the necessary appropriations to
make the law effective. Again the
program was carefully scrutinized
and its various elements weighed
and tested. As finally enacted this
appropriation is substantially in ac
cord with the program presented to
the Congress six months ago. It
represents the combined judgment
and will of the Executive and the
Congress.
"Spirit of Co-operation.”
“It w^as evolved in the spirit of
co-operation and not of partisan
conflict. It demonstrates the united
determination of our people to make
good our pledge of co-operation to
those who, like ourselves, are striv
ing to achieve during peace and
prosperity among all nations.”
Briefly, the law provides:
1. $4,000,000,000 for the Economic
Co-operation Administration (ECA)
to help 16 Western European na
tions. The money is in addition to
$1,055,000,000 already given ECA by
Congress. The program is spread
over 15 months, but the President
may authorize the money to be
spent in 12 months if he believes it
is necessary.
2. $400,000,000 for aid to- China.
ECA will direct the recovery part
of the China program. But $125,
000,000 of the funds will be spent
for military purposes by the Chinese
government.
3. $1,300,000,000 for government
and relief in occupied areas. Japan,
Korea and the Ryukyus Islands
will receive the benefits of about
$125,000,000 of this amount, to be
spent through the Army.
4. $225,000,000 for aid to Greece
and Turkey.
5. $35,000,000 to the International

gallons of gasoline a week.
Those for Britons likewise imposed
economy in food and power. Parties
were forbidden and afternoon1
movies stopped. British Army and
control - commission clubs were
ordered to close early at 10:30 p.m.
The Russian fired the German
chief of electric utilities in their,
sector. They accused him of
sabotaging their orders to shut off
electricity to Western Berlin.
This shutoff still cramped service
in the western sectors, but the1
American commandant, Col. Frank
L. Hpwley. said, "we are getting
along." Western Berlin supplies
about half its own power.
Trade union leaders in the Soviet,
sector voted against trying for a;
Berlin general strike for fear it'
would not be fully effective. United!
States authorities said the Com- j
munists were behind the move and!
they believed anti-Communist union
leaders of Western Berlin could stopj
a city-wide strike.
United States military police said
the Russians freed Sergt. Charles C.j
Staggers, American courier, yeeter
day after detaining him 24 hours for
speeding. The courier was picked
up Saturday driving a jeep in the
Russian sector.
American police said they had re
ceived orders to “lay off or at least
ease up” on arresting Soviet speed
ers. Troop commanders woulc} say
nothing about laying off but conced
ed some easing up was planned.
This all followed the arrest of
Marshal Vassily D. Sokolovsky, So
viet military governor, for speeding
Saturday in the American sector.
Once he was recognized, he was
freed with an apology.
Rail Blockade Remains.
Western-licensed Berlin news
papers played up Winston Church
ill's demand that the western pow
ers stand fast in Berlin.
The Soviet-licensed Berliner
Zeitung said editorially, “the west
ern powers must now either declare
themselves ready to conclude a
peace treaty for all Germany on a
four-power basis or they must leave
Berlin." .
The paper said last week's War
saw communique of eight East
European foreign ministers "has
given them another chance” to
prove they want to unify Germany.
Reports late last week that the
Russians would lift the railroad
blockade today were not borne out.
The reports were not carried by the
Associated Press.
The United States rail transporta
tion officer at Helmstedt, just west
of the Russian zone, said there had
been no movement across the zonal
boundary. British and American
transport officials in Berlin reported
no change in the blockade.
Coal Pinch Felt.
Because the Soviet measures have
cut off all coal supplies from the
British-occupied Ruhr? they were
beginning to have their effect on
the Soviet zone.
Press reports from Schwerin said
the economics minister of Meck
lenburg Province told the legisla
ture the coal shortage had ham
pered the gas supply.
Only 19 of the province’s 42 gas
works now are operating, these re
ports said, and eight more will have
to shut down in July unless they
get coal from other sources than
the Ruhr, which normally supplies
them.
Gas service already has been cur
tailed in a number of districts of
the Soviet zone because of the coal
shortage.
Ploeser Denies Draff Act
Plan to Curb Steel Firms
The Government’s steel allocation
authority in the new Draft Act is
only to help small business get a
share of defense contracts and is
not an opening wedge to “return our
economy to across-the-board con
trol” of the industry. Representative
Ploeser, Republican, of Missouri said
today.
The congressman, as chairman of
the House Small Business Commit
tee, sponsored the allocation amend
ment which was written into the
Draft Act last week. He made the
clarifying statement today in a
letter to Defense Secretary For
restal.
There has been criticism of the
act, chiefly among industry leaders
and, steel consumers, that the alloca
tion authority given the Government
would bring back wartime controls.
Firemen Seek fo Cut Gap
In Blazing 2-Mile Bridge
By the Associated Press
HENDERSON POINT, Miss.. June
28.—Fire fighters attempted to rip
a firebreak in the Bay, St. Louis
Bridge early today after an uncon
trolled blaze burned one-fourth of
the two-mile-long span.
Preparations were made to dyna
mite the structure to check the
flames from spreading, if other
methods failed.
The fire, of undetermined origin,
broke out about 6:30 p.m. last
night on the structure, which is
located on Highway 90, the main
route of Mississippi Gulf Coast
travel. The bridge links Bay St.
Louis with Henderson Point.
Shortly after the blaze was dis
covered, the drawbridge—1*4 miles
from the Bay St. Louis side—was
raised. A special fire brigade kept
that portion of the span wetted
down
The burning Henderson Point
portion of the structure, some
of a mile long, was fanned by a
light but steady southerly to south
westerly wind.
Motorists westbound for Bay St.
Louis, New ' Orleans or westward
points were forced to make a 30 to
40 mile detour around the bay.

Greece Spurns Offer
To Restore Diplomatic
Ties, Bulgars Charge
By the Associated Press
The Bulgarian government
today accused Greece of rebuff
ing its offer to talk over a re
newal of diplomatic relations
which were severed seven years
ago.
Dr. Nissim Mevorah. Bulgarian
Minister to the United States, for
mally notified the United Nations
that his proposed negotiations here
with the Greek Ambassador had
collapsed and that further talks
would be useless.
The two Balkan nations have had
no diplomatic relations since April.
1941, when German troops invaded
Greece from Bulgaria. *
Letter Sent to Lie.
In a letter to U. N. Secretary
General Trygve Lie, the Bulgarian
diplomat said the talks ended after
the first meeting June 16 when
Greek Ambassador Vassili Den
dramis refused to discuss basic dif
ferences between the two countries
before agreeing to restoration of
diplomatic relations.
The Bulgarian government
wanted to talk over such things as
! its desire for a Greek pledge to re
spect the present frontiers of Bul
garia. The Greek envoy was rep
resented as taking the position that
the Washington talks should be
restricted to a discussion of the
question of diplomatic relations.
In his letter to the United Nations,
I Dr. Mevorah said:
j ‘‘The Greek government may or
may not accept our views, but I feel
that it should not reject a proposal
to discuss them. By this refusal
the Greek government clearly de
clines our offer to negotiate, which
'indicates that the good will of the
Bulgarian government is not recip
rocated.’’
No Surprise to U. S.
The Bulgarian letter, disclosed in
an interview, came as no surprise to
! the State Department, which has
regarded the Bulgarian offer more
as a Russian-inspired propaganda
move than a sincere effort to reach
an understanding with Greece.
Elaborating on his letter, the Bul
garian minister deplored what he
called a lack of understanding of
his country by Americans. He
blamed this in part on newspapers
in the United States which he said
present only the “bad side" of Bul
garia.
‘“Our country is generally refer
red to as a ‘Russian satellite’," he
said, "or 'a country behind the iron
curtain.’ The press ?ives the Ameri
can people, who are basically demo
cratic, no chance to learn of the
constructive side of our country."
Mexican Border Bridge
Holds Against Rio Grande
By th« Associated Press
ZAPATA, Tex.. June 28.—The Rio
Grande, on an out-of-character
spree, surged through its lower val
ley’s rich citrus region today in a
rush to dump its flood crest Into the
Gulf of Mexico.
The angry river, which usually
trickles idly well within its banks,
rolled a 45-foot crest past here yes
terday but failed to tear away the
little suspension bridge that links
Zapata with Mexico.
Harvey Cunningham, customs in
spector, said the bridge would be
reopened for traffic today. The
bridge was closed early yesterday.
The mouth of the river, at
Brownsville, is about 150 miles from
here. Along this stretch the« lower
Rio Grande Valley is thick with
citrus groves, but growers figured
they could avoid much damage and
even help their thirsty crops by
turning the river into flood ways.
The valley has been parched all
year.
No lives have been reported lost
since the flood sprang last Thursday
from torrential rains in the Del Rio
area, about 200 miles upstream.
At Laredo, 50 miles north of here,
the river was falling fast—a weath
er. observer said about a foot an
hour—after rising 453 feet Saturday
night. Pedestrian traffic over the
International Bridge there was re
sumed yesterday, while automobile
traffic awaited an inspection of the
bridge.

Wallace Says Party's Task
Is to 'Set Americans Free'
By the Associated Press
MANCHESTER. N. H., June 28 —
Henry A. Wallace says the major
task of his New Party is to “set
Americans free to control their own
destiny in a world of peace and in
ternational brotherhood."
Mr. Wallace, making a campaign
tour of New’England, was scheduled
to address an outdoor rally and to
meet with labor leaders and minis
ters today.
He told 200 delegates to the found
ing convention of the New Hamp
shire Progressive Party yesterday
that "the fact that no existing po
litical party is attempting to carry
out a program to set the pestle free
is justification for forming the new
party.”
"On the success of the New Jarty
movement depends the future of
our beloved country and of the whole
world which rr*ust have peace, or
must surely perish,” he asserted.
He criticized the contention that
increased military expenditures are
justified by the “Russian bogey,”
which he said portrays the Soviet
Union “as an insatiable aggressor
against which we must arm to the
teeth to defend ourselves.”
“But if any one points; out that
Russian aggression is nonsense,” the
presidential candidate added, “he is
labeled as subversive, a Red, Russian
ageift or a traitor.”
