The Trans-Jordan monarch hinted his British-trained Arab Legion will attempt to seize and pacify Palestine after the British give up their mandate over the Holy Land in mid-May. Representatives here of other countries quickly backed up King Abdullah with indirect threats of action by their gov- ernments and with attack on what they called- Jewish out- rages in Palestine. In effect the King served notice on the United Nations he will try to reunite the Holy Land with his kingdom after the British d'rop their Palestine mandate May 15. Trans-Jordan formerly was part of the Palestine mandate area. Persistent report from the Middle East say Abdullah has been picked by Arab countries to command an army that may enter Palestine as the British retire. From Palestine came reports that Irgun Zvai Leumi, Jewish warriors, said today they had cap- tured the strategic Arab city of Yehudia 12 miles each of Tel Aviv after an all night battle with Arab defenders. Haganah, the regular Jewish militia, declared Lebanese ar- tillery shelled the northern Jewish settlement of Ramat Naftali less than four miles from the Lebanese - Palestine frontier. Haganah also said that Arab forces were attacking Kfar Etzion, a Jewish strongpoint about 10 miles south of Jerusalem on the Jerusalem-Hebron highway. Hag- anah claimed that the Trans- Jordan Arab Legion, which has forces on police duty for the Brit- ish in Palestine, had concentrated a large fo ce of men and guns around tie virtually isolated settlement. AVC Attacks Tag Day Today "Buy a tag, help send the kids to camp" will be the campus watchword today as 750 students man collection posts for the Fresh Air Camp tag day sales. A goal of $5,000 has been set by the drive committee for student and faculty contributions to the camp. It is also support- ed by the University and by cooperating scual agencies. Tag day is an all campus project foi the first time this year. Previously it was run by Assembly, but with expanded interest in the camp as a student recreation center the executive iI committee was enlarged to include representatives of major student organizations including IFC, AIM, Pan Hel, Assembly, the League and the Union. These groups'are cooperating in sponsoring the tag day for the benefit of underpriviledged children. The camp is located on a chain of seven lakes about 24 miles from Ann Arbor. In the summer it serves as a haven for 240 maladjusted boys, many of whom get their first taste of out- door life there; NEW ON CAMPUS: SUN Has Power for Peace' Is Keynote for 'Model' UN i Police Arrest Of Glen Taylor A resolution condemning the arrests and police treatment of Senator Glen Taylor in Birming- ham, Ala. and the attempted sup- pression, of the Southern Negro Youth Congress as Constitutional violations was passed at last night's meeting of the campus ' AVC chapter.

The University student who owns it is an amputee, and the bike saved him much uncom- fortable cross-campus walking. The bike can be returned to Greene House, East Quadrangle -no questions asked.

Mediations Fail To Avert Rail Strike Government May Seize Railroads By The Associated Press Mediations to avert a threaten- ed nationwide rail strike May 11 collapsed yesterday and Feder- al seizure of the railroads became a possibility. Chairman of the National Rail- way Mediations Board, Frank Douglass, who failed to settle the wage disputes between the car- riers and three operating brother- hoods because neither side would budge during the five day Chi- cago conference, said he would report to President Truman to- night. The President can order Federal operation of the roads under legislation still on the statute books, according to Francis A. Silver, of the Office of Defense Transportation. Two other courses are open to the government in addition to taking over the roads. The President may call the parties to the White House for a special conference or Congress could enact legislation to bring the railroads under the Taft- Hartley Act and its injunction procedure fot~ national emergency strikes. Meanwhile Congressional hear- ings aimed at tightening the Taft-Hartley Act by Sen. Ball's (R. Minn.) "Watch-Dog" com- mittee were set for May 24. Sen. Ball hinted that the com- mittee may discuss bringing rail workers under the Taft-Hartley law. The impending strike, which would halt virtually all rail move- ment, other than commuter and local trains, involves demands for 30 per cent increases in wages and changes in working rules by the brotherhoods. A 15%2 cent an hour offer by the carriers was re- jected, although recommended by a Presidential Fact-finding Board as a basis for settlement. U.S. Control of 'Confidential' News Upheld WASHINGTON, May 4-()- The House Rules Committee ap- proved today a bill threatening jail to any newspaperman who prints certain facts stamped "confidential" by a committee of Congress. The bill would: Force executive departments to hand over whatever information a committee wants. Permit a committee by majority vote to decide whether any of the information should be made pub- lic. Make it a misdemeanor-with a maximum penalty of a year in jail and $1,000 fine-for anyone to divulge information ruled con- fidential. This means committee members, too. The bill results from refusal of the Commerce Department - backed by President Truman-to hand over to the House Un-Ameri- can Activities Committee an FBI loyalty report on Dr. Edward U. Ccndon, director of the Bureau of Standards. An aroused House voted to demand the report when the committee failed to get it. Amendments are certain to be offered. Rep. Clarence J. Brown (Rep.. Ohio), a newspaper pub- lisher and a member of the Rules HOPEFUL-Harold E. Stassen, (left) the first "outside invader" in an Ohio pre-convention battle since 1936, contested with Robert O.

Allen (Rep., Ill.) today pro- posed a substitute for the draft- a program to build up the armed forces by paying a bonus to vol- unteers. Allen suggested that men who enlist for a two year period get a bonus of $1,000 or be entitled to the benefits of the G.I. Bill of Rights. Those who sign up for three years would get $1,500. Allen, chairman of the House Rules Committee and influential in Republican affairs, said a cost comparison between his plan and a draft could not be made. He said the cost of a draft has been estimated all the way from $2,500,000,000 to $4,000,000,000 a year. This would include the cost of inducting men, equipping, train- ing, feeding and clothing them. Allen said his proposed bonus would cost $350,000,000 a year. The cost of equipping, training, feeding and clothing the volun- teers would be extra. "Even if my plan cost more than the draft," he said, "I think it would be better. We would not have a draft on our necks." Liquor Laws Tlo Be Studied A student-faculty committee was set up last night to study the present University liquor regula- tion and possibilities of a change. The committee was established by the University's Committee on Student Conduct, meeting for the first time since the addition of three voting student members to the committee. The sub-commit- tee will consist of the three stu- dent members and three Univer- sity deans, as yet unnamed. The special sub-committee was proposed in a motion by Warren Bovee, of the Student Legislature, after a majority of campus lead- ers sitting in on the meeting had expressed dissatifactionwith the present liquor policy here. The new student members of the student conduct committee are Pat Hannagan, chairman of Women's Judiciary Council; Al Warner, chairman of Men's Ju- diciary Council; and Warren Bovee. TIME TO CHANGE : - City Starts Saving Daylight; U, County Offices Follow Suit By AL BLUMROSEN Bleary-eyed from the loss of an hour's sleep. Ann Arbor woke up this morning to find itself more or less on Daylight Saving Time. The city and the University are on fast time but the county court house is still on Standard time. Circuit Judge James R. Breakey said that court time was set by the State legislature and could not be changed. The judge chang- Geo. Edwards Will Keynote Spring Parley George Edwards, keynote speak- er at the Spring Parley this week- end, probably set a precedent when he was elected President of the Detroit Common Council in 1345. Up to the time of his election, Edwards had appeared in no rallys, delivered no speeches, done nothing in the way of a campaign. In fact, he was chosen for the post while thousands of miles away, serving with the army in the Phillipines. Edwards, who will launch the parley with a speech at 4:15 p.m. Friday in Kellogg Auditorium, came to Detroit immediately after earning a law degree at Harvard University. Previously he had studied at Southern Methodist University. He was an active member of the UAW in its early days, and can recall several trips to the Dearborn jail for violating anti- literature distribution laws. General topic of this year's Spring Parley will be "Is World Peace Possible?" The two day af- fair will begin Friday with Ed- wards' talk and continue Friday night and Saturday afternoon with two series of panels. Catholic Holy Day Catholic students will celebrate the Feast of the Ascension to- morrow. Father Frank J. McPhil- lips, pastor of St. Mary's Student Chapel announced that masses would be held at 7, 8, 9 a.rh. and. 12 noon. ed the court hours, so as far as the city is concerned, the court is still open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. But legally, the court hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST. Other sections of the county government changed their time to coincide with the city. The treasurer's office and the sheriff office changed their time at mid- night. Chief Building Custodian Ed- ward S. Warren was in charge of changing the hundreds of clocks in the University buildings to con- form to the new time. He was working at it all day yesterday and the Daily was unable to con- tact him. The radio station schedules were thrown into a confusion that would set listeners back where they were two weeks ago before the country went on a time- changing spree. WHRV, which went on fast time when Detroit did, kept its schedule. Alice Cohen of the traffic department said that programs would come on an hour later than they do now. WPAG changed its time at mid- night to match the city and sta- tion officials said that all pro- grams would be back on the same time as before all the fuss started. Baseball games will now come on at 2 p.m. instead of 1. NCN Will Hit Campus Soon The much-talked-about and always-pluggin' Michiganensian will be distributed to a waiting public May 15, "in less than two weeks," Bill Zerman, promotion manager reported yesterday. With Ensians being sold like the proverbial hotcakes, only 450 of them remain of the 6000 order- ed. Orders will only be accepted until May 15 at the Student Pub- lications Building. After that it will be sold on a first come, first serve basis and may the best man win. The price of the Ensian will go up to $6.50 on May 15th, $.50 more than the present price. Ensian offices are open from 9 p.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m. everey day. Miniesotan Leads Seven Local Races Senator Is Ahead In 13 Contests COLUMBUS, 0., May 5-~) Senator Robert A. Taft led in 13 races and Harold E. Stassen in seven as The Daily went to press in their bitterly-fought contest for Ohio delegates to the Republi- can National Convention. Two races were unreported, and one tied up. The Minnesotan bid for 23 of the Ohio delegation of 53 to support him for the presidential nomination. The rest go to the state's senior senator uncontest- ed. The returns were far from com- plete. Taft scored heavily in the early counting from a statewide race Ten men were entered for the nine delegates-at-large. Nine of them support Taft and one is backing Stassen. All nine of Taft's men were leading the field over Car- rington T. Marshall, the Stassen candidate. The top eight Taft men were assured of election. Returns from 1198 (including 325 in the cities) of 9,385 Ohio polling places in the only contest- ed race for delegate at large gave: Ed D. Schorr, pledged to Sen. Taft, 32,701. Carrington T. Marshall, pledged to Stassen, 29,955. Eight Taft candidates for del- egate at large were certain of election. Politicians said Stassen must win 10 or more to keep his primary band wagon going in high gear. By the same token, they said the loss of 10 would seriously damage Taft's personal change for the nomination. Because of a complicated ballot -top heavy with state Republir can and Democratic candidates- counting in the 9,385 polling places was expected to be slow in the knock-down presidential battle. 'Americanism' Group Formed Students Seek To AdvanceCapitalism A new organization to "reac- quaint students with the Ameri- can way of life" has joined the roster of campus political groups. The Committee for the Ad- vancement of Capitalistic Enter- prise, now getting underway here, seeks to sponsor lectures, and de- bates at the University, and to or- ganize a nationwide movement "designed to champion the things that make America the finest place in the world in which to live--to work-to raise a family." Ralph H. Andrews and William F. Dannemiller, student organi- zers of the group, said yesterday that there is pressing need to pre- sent a "moderate liberal and con- servative" viewpoint to counter the "murmurs of discontent and dis- satisfaction that have emanated from left-wing organizations." "Now is the time," they said, "to think in terms of appreciation and preservation. In some future pe- rinod of depressed economy change night, in haste, bring revolution with resulting loss of all freedom." YPCM Meets On Candidates "American Liberalism Today" was the subject of a YPCM-spon- sored discussion held last night in an attempt to clarify the policies of three liberal candidates for the presidency, Douglas, Wallace and Stassen.
