LONDON — (Special) —
Though the Palestine con-
ference is scheduled to open
here Monday, after a week's
delay "because the Arab
delegates had not yet ar-
rived," the British govern-
ment still has no solution to
offer if discussions with the
Arabs collapse.

Charges that proceeds from "A Flag Is Born," fiery
pageant of Jewish protest now at the Lafayette Theater,
were not being used for the transfer of Jews to Palestine
were proved false after an impartial investigation by
the Jewish Chronicle, by assurances of Jacob Ben-Ami,
star of the drama, and statements of former U. S. Senator

Guy Gillette, president of the
American League for a Free Pal-
estine, sponsor of the play.
