Arab legionnaires from Transjordan occupied positions in the streets around the so-called Brit- ! Ish fortress In Jerusalem. Mobile British troops guarded approaches to the central post office, which has heen evacuated after numerius anonymous "warnings."

The ship was slightly damaged by small I gelignite explosions and put hack Into port. One wounded girl wax brought ashore from the Heywood. Its sister ship, the Empire Rival, sailed for Cyprus yesterday. The Heywood's contingent of illegal immigrants resisted vigorously against transfer from the little ship on which they came to Palestine. and British troops forced them aboard with tear gas and fire hoses.

Spokesmen for the board re--1 ported that its memliers conferred for nearly 10 hours yesterday In an effort to have their decision ready tomorrow night on whether the three it»mx. plus soy beans and cotton seed, will continue free of price curbs. Board sources xald that the decontrollers had made “substantial progress' on their decision. There wax no inkling, however, regard-' Ing the verdict. If It decides to restore price cell. Ings on the commodities, the board also will have to chart the future course of sibxidy payments on them. Although OPA officials admitI ted they did not know what the decision would be. price chief Paul . Porter believes his agency has sufficient controls and funds to restore most food prices to their June 30 levels. Some adjustments may have to be made In dairy prices that would boost the cost of milk another penny a quart. Meanwhile. OPA removed all dried fruits, except apples, from price controls. OPA said the order was Issued as imported and domestic supplies of dried fruits are more than adequate to meet demand. Removal of price ceilings on: dried prunes and raini>f-i wax i made retroactive to July 28. the date subsidies were discontinued.

Reconversion director John R Steelman replied indirectly to the ClO's warning with the statement i that this “is no time for labor to demand wage Increases without corresponding gains in produc- \ tlon.” But be quickly added that this {"ls no time" for business men to ' charge "all the traffic will bear" for their products. He advocated that l»oth business and labor adopt a slogan of "volj ume production for the next few months."

Futile Discussions By Quibbling Peace | Delegates Assailed By Canadian Leader Pails, Aug. 19.—(UP)—Six working commissions of the peace conference virtually completed their orxanlzutional work today, but an* !other week th« fourth—of the meeting wax all but killed by a new delay In actual consideration of treaties The snail-like puce made it unlikely that any detailed dlxcusalon of treaty clauaex would get under i way until the beginning of the fifth • week of the conference. The big stumbling blocks in the way of taking up the draft treaties for the five Axis satellites were long arguments over how the commissions themeelves should Proceed. how they would hear the former enemy state*, and lhe fact that the deadline for amendments to the big four drafts Is not until tomorrow’ midnight. Delegates contended It would Im point less for the commissions l*» begin coneidering treaty clauses which after tomorrow right migbi have to Ite reconxideted In the light of any amendment* submitted. Ranking delegates ivmalned away from the Luxembourg palace all day. Secretary of state James F. Byrnes wax conferring with Cuban, Iranian and Greek officials in xeperate talks. Three conference c.mtmissions met this morning and three thin afternoon. AH engaged In long, dull debate on procedure. The nearest thing to a flurry of excitement came in lhe afternoon meeting of the Bulgarian commission. A Greek representative, ■peaking out of order, read a state* ment criticizing lhe preamble lo the Bulgarian draft while the commission at ill was trying to decide I how to proceed The statement referred to a paragraph of the Bulgarian treaty men- ! Honing the "active part in the war against Germany" played by tho Hulgarx after October, 1944. The statement wax a revival of previous ones by the Greeks denouncing Bulgaria far attacks on Greece and continuation of tho Greek-Bulgar feud. It said tho Greek* wanted to get into the record the fact that the Bulgars had taken a major part on the side of the Axis, particularly against Greece. While the conference was plugging away, prime minister W. L. Mackenzl King of Canada charged that It wax "wasting vital time" and "endangering the future by futile discussions.'* King exhorted the peacemakers to remember the price at which freedom was won and have done with the quibbling which has prevented the conference from even coming to grips with it* task. Three of the conference com-missions-Italian. Hungarian and Finnish- met at the opening of tho fourth week of the meeting. Ponderous debates os technicalities kept them from getting down t<» work on the peace treaty drafts. King's castigation of the laggard pace of the conference was ’h« third in a few day*. Last week New Zealand charged that thero was too much "quack quack quack" while Sen. Tom Connally, 1)„ Tex., Itefore departing for Paris, referred to the conference as a "yah yah yah" affair. The Finnish political commission adjourned after a Iwo-hour session occupied by shadow boxing be- ; tween the Russian and British *ae- : lions. The Russians presented an amendment to limit the time for presentation of Finnish amendments to the treaty draft, and ti» start discussion immediately. Th* British and AustraiiaM suggested | that the problem of amendmentn should be taken up by the general I secretariat. Finally Russia propcsed to go into the discussion, without knowing the exact amendments to b«» proposed by the Finns. The move was defeated 6 to 4 by the Brltieto commonwealth bloc. —o - Four Youths Leave For Army Examination A group of Decatur youths left this morning for Indtanapolis to take final examinations for entrance into the U. 8. army.
