Arabs and Jews Given
U. N. Warning to Bar
New Truce Violations
ly AnoeiottH Pr«t*
LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 20—The
United Nations warned both
Arabs and Jews today to avoid
further violations of the month
old Palestine truce.
Responding to fears expressed by
♦he Palestine mediator, Count Folke
Bemadotte, that the situation in
Jerusalem was "gradually getting out
of hand,” the Security Council voted
the warning last night.
It was almost the last item of
business before the Council ad-«
Journed for what It hopes will be a
month-long recess prior to recon
vening in Paris.
The warhing was given in a resolu
tion advanced jointly by the'United
States, Britain, Prance and Canada.
No delegate voted against the pro
posal but Russia, the Soviet Ukraine,
Syria and Colombia abstained on
some sections in a point-by-point
vote.
Told to Avoid Reprisals.
The Council told the Jews and!
Arabs they are responsible and told
them to see that their own offenders
are punished and to refrain from
undertaking reprisals or retaliations.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Jacob A. Malik, Council president
for August, said no more meetings
would be held In the United -States
between now and Setpember 1 unless
there is an emergency. From Sep
tember 1 to September 21 only emer
gency sessions will be held in Paris,
where the 58-nation General Assem- !
bly is holding its regular annual
session. The Council will return to
Lake Success after adjournment of
the Assembly, expected in Decem
ber.
The Council remained in session
12 hours yesterday, closing with a
private session in which delegates
completed an annual report to the
Assembly.
Besides Palestine, the Council vot
ed on the Trieste case, in which
Yugoslavia had charged the United
States and Britain with violating
the Italian peace treaty.
Yugoslav Move Beaten.
A Yugoslav demand that the
Council condemn the two Western
powers and hold them guilty was
defeated when only Russia and the
Soviet Ukraine supported it. As a
nonmember of the Council, Yugo
slavia had no vote.
The United States and Britain
denied the charges and in turn ac
cused Premier Marshal Tito of using
them as a smoke screen to cover up
moves to annex Trieste to Yugo
slavia. The other nine Council
members abstained on the vote.
In another ballot in this case,
delegates rejected a Ukrainian pro- j
posal declaring that the Council
considered it urgent to name a gov
ernor for Trieste. With seven votes,
needed for passage, only Russia,!
China and Syria backed up the
Ukraine.

16,000 British Auto Workers
Strike to Bar U. S. Methods
By th« Atftooottd frt*
BIRMINGHAM, Eng.. Aug. 20.—
Sixteen thousand British automo
bile workers are on strike in a dis
pute over introduction of American
mass production methods in the
Longbridge plant of the Austin
Motor Car Co.
Austin is one of the leading firms
in the national drive for exports to
earn dollars for economic recovery.
The dispute began yesterday over,
rates of pay based on the speed at
which an American-made multiple
gear cutter could be operated. The'
gear cutter was Installed Wednes
day.
One worker assigned to the ma
chine averaged 280 operations in an
eight-and-a-half-hour shift.
Pointing out that the demonstra
tor who installed the gear cutter
had proved 360 operations could be
completed, the management sug
gested a piece-work rate fixed at a
compromise figure of 330 operations
per shift.
Workers rejected the proposal, re
ferred the dispute their shop
stewards and started a stay-in
strike.
The stewards called on other men
throughout the factory to stop work,
and sent 3.000 men home when they
reported for the night shift.
Today most of the workers clocked
in, but spent the morning talking
and playing cards while the stewards
held another meeting.
H. Marsh, district secretary of the
Amalgamated Engineering Union,
said the strike was unofficial.
Austin has been producing about
2.000 vehicles a week, many of them
light cars for the American and
Canadian markets. A statement last
week reported the company s dollar
earnings in the United States and
Canada were averaging more than
$250,000 a week.
Airline Fares to Go Up
10% Soon; free Meals
May Be Discontinued
A 10 per cent airline fare
boost is coming soon—with the
added prospect that free meals
in flight will be ended.
Present fares average about 5.5
cents a mile. The new rate of just
over 6 cents will be the highest in
nearly 15 years. It will take effect
either in September or October, de
pending on when all the paper work
can be completed.
That outlook is the result of a
precedent-setting conference called
by the Civil Aeronautics Board to
talk over the industry's financial
crisis
Day Devoted to Problem.
The five-member CAB met with
presidents and other top officials
of the 16 trunk airlines yesterday
and devoted almost the whole day
to the fare increase and free-meal
problems.
Free food aloft has been tradi
tional with the airlines. While
generally rated as an attraction to
business, some airline officials say
it is merely a bow to necessity in
that it simplifies the problem.
Airplanes cannot carry kitchens
able to offer a menu such as the
railroads have, nor can they make
extended meal stops as the bus
lines do.
.Chairman Joseph J. O'Connell of
the CAB told a news conference
that, while there is no formal agree
ment on the increase, the board be
lieves all airlines have accepted it.
Asked what would happen if any
one did not go along. Mr. O'Connell
said he hadn't even given any
thought to that idea.
Meals Cost SU.M0.060 a Year.
He compared the situation to that
of a year ago when the airlines
agreed to their first increase in
years. Later they made a second
boost. Each amounted to 10 per
cent.
Airline fares reached their lowest
point in 1946. They averaged 4.6
cents a mile then. In 1935 the aver
age was 5.75 cents.
As for ending free meals—esti
mated by the CAB to cost the air
lines $11,000,000 a year—Mr. O'Con
nell said:
"If the board had had to come
to a conclusion today, it would
have Voted—at least by a majority
—to end free meals."
In view of the discussion, how
ever, he said the board will study
the question further.
The Industry lost $22,000,000 last
year and is doing little if any bet
ter this year. The losses have piled
up in the face of record volumes
of passenger, express and freight
traffic.
Mr. O'Connell said the CAB
favors the idea of "family plan”
promotional fares such as that
proposed by American Airlines.
Under that plan, wives and minor
children may travel with a hus
band or father for half fare on
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednes
days. Air travel normally is the
lightest on those days.

3 Networks Reported
Unaffected by Plan to
Limit Station Control
The Federal Communications Com
mission's plan to limit common own
ership or control of standard broad
cast stations apparently would not
affect the four major networks, ex
cept possibly the Columbia Broad
casting System, radio officials said
in New York today.
The FCC announced yesterday it
would adopt a rule, limiting such
ownership or control to not more
than seven standard stations by one
person or corporation. It. also in
tends to forbid any person or cor
poration from serving as a stock
holder or director of more than 14
standard stations.
CBS, according to reports from
New York, owns seven standard sta
tions but has a minority interest in
another. It has four FM stations
and one television station. *
The American Broadcasting Co.
has five AM and flive FM stations.
It also has obtained construction
permits for five television stations,
one of which is on the air.
The National Broadcasting Co.
owns six standard radio stations, as
well as three FM stations and per
mits for three more. It has two
television stations and permits for
three more.
Under present rules a corporation
or person may own or control as
many standard stations across the
country as he can obtain from FCC
authority.

Of Airliner’s Pilot in

By Associated Prats
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.—Passengers
today credited the skill of a pilot
with saving the lives of 38 persons
aboard,a crippled airliner.
They' were aboard an American
Airlines ship which, as it prepared
to land at Chicago's Municipal Air
port at the end of its flight from
Cincinnati, was unable to lower its
nose wheel. An emergency landing
was made at the Glenview Naval

Circled Field for Hour.
As they came into the municipal
field, Capt. Edward T. Cycon, 33,
:and his copilot, Ervin Boldt, both

; wheel. Their efforts were futile,
and they circled the field for more
| than an hour before going to the
(Navy field to land.
With less than an hour's supply
of gasoline, Capt. Cycon brought
i the plane in tail-heavy. The two
main wheels touched the concrete.
Sparks showered as the plane
iscraped forward, finally nosing over

did a marvelous job. He said exact
ly what he was going to do, and
then he did It."
L. J. Stout of Indianapolis added,
“It was a thrill. It broke the monot
ony of every-day flying. The crew
was so self-assured I never worried."

Vaughn, 21, of Chicago, a recent
graduate of the hostess school, said
the passengers maintained complete
calm. No one was injured.
