An authoritative source in London said today that the British planned to yield the mandate next May 15. The exiled Grand Mufti of Jeurusalem flew into Cairo unexpectedly to be on hand for the seven-na-tion conversations under sponsorship of the Arab league. He told a reporter that, “now we must draw the sword and put the pencil back in its case. Arab league sources hinted that the premiers of the seven Arab countries would discuss possible moves about the valuable United States oil concessions in the Arabcontrolled middle east.

The conference followed a reception Marshall gave for the American delegation. Officials were most secretive about what was discussed, but there was little doubt that the tactics decided upon will force a showdown with Soviet foreign minister Viacheslav M.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Appreciates United States h t Alter Four Years In Europe

d 6 Four years as a civilian in ’ Copenhagen, Stockholm, Luxem- '• bourg, Heidelberg, several Holland 3 and Swiss cities and others in the 1 European continent has given Miss 3 Joyce Mayclin stronger yen than 1 ever to remain in the good old 1 United States —at least for some f time. 1 A new slant on Europe—especial3 ly in comparison to those of thousands of World War II servicemen —was given Sunday evening by Miss Mayclin as she stopped to - visit here with relatives, while en--1 route to her home in Fort Dodge, i lowa. Sitting in the home of her brother, J. Clark Mayclin and family, on Seventh street near Monroe, Miss Mayclin. in vivid but concise language denoting her years of experience with the foreign service of the U. S. department of state, recounted her impressions of the land across the sea and its peoples. She arrived in the United States last Monday aboard the Gripshohn, nearly four years after going overseas with the department of state i from her position iK'*XVashington, D. C. With future plans undecided, Miss Mayclin is sure of one thing i —she’ll stay in her native nation i and enjoy its bountiful benefits, at I least for a long time. < Things like rations of half a 1 pound of butter and four loaves of 1 bread per month, hot water once i every two weeks, bitterly Cold, f fuel-less homes, the sight of starv- S ing children in soup lines —these ( and many more, even in the “more fortunate European Countries” — j have made her realize far better than the average American citizen j why this is called the land of j plenty. She first entered foreign service « in 1944, going to Sweden. As a « secretary in the state department < Seven Os Family Burned To Death Greenwich, Q., Dec. 8 —(UP) — : Seven members of a family of nine , died yesterday in a fire that trapped j them in their sleep in a walk-up ( apartment over a barber shop. The ( two surviving members were burn- ( ed trying to rescue the others. j Victims were Warnie Rice, 47; • his wife, Estella, 43, and their child- i ren, Donol, 18, Robert, 14, Roy, 3 ; Martha, 15, and Texas Joe, 7.

O : FRENCH STRIKE (Continued from Page 1) The interunion of postal, telegraph and telephone department workers of Le Mans expressed itself more positively in a “communique.” It “estimated that the entire strike movement was unjustified in view of the actual situation.” The general confederation of labor, said the workers of Le Mans, “subordinated itself to a political party.” Therefore, the postal, telegraph and telephone workers in Le Mans proposed to form an independent union. 0 GRAND JURY (Continued from Page i > jury will make its annual inspection of county buildings. is also expected to investigate any criminal matters brought to its attention.

she was secretly whisked by plane into Stockholm, a leading city of the neutral country. There for two years she observed a prominent part of the U. S. activities. Then, with the war over, she was assigned to Heidelberg, famous German university city. Although its appearance was hardly comparable to that of bombed-out Berlin and other German targets for U. S. and English bombers, privation and hardships were no less prevalent on all sides. While on leaves she visited Holland, Switzerland, and others, being most impressed by the Swiss country, its scenic beauty and general condition far less affected by the war than most other European lands. Despite all of her travels and experiences one of the highlights in her career with foreign service was that original three-hour trip to Sweden in a “mosquito bomber.” i She rode as a passenger "substitute” for bombs in the plane’s bomb bay, wearing oxygen mask and heavy flying paraphernalia to ward off the bitter high altitude cold. To this day she has never been able to figure out one thing. The plane crew gave her a thermos bottle of coffee and lunch enroute over. She couldn’t open the ther- I mos bottle and handle the food ■ with those cumbersome flying gloves—and if she removed them she would have frozen her hands. She couldn’t solve the problem of eating. i The food, later to prove invalu- < able, was wasted. 1 Leaving this morning for the Fort Dodge home of her parents, 1 Mr. and Mrs. Victor Mayclin, she ' plans to return in January for an 1 extended visit with her brother and sister-in-law, the former Kathryn Shroyer, and their children. 1 5-ACRE CORN CLUB ■ 1 (Continued from Page 1) • ] 56.7; Raymond Edwards, 81; Raymond Eichenauer, 74.3; John , Eicher, 60.3; Menno P.

HIGH VATICAN (Continued rrom fare 1) their leaders can bring about a diminution of internal bitterness and misunderstanding. An other source of pessisism w’as found in the discouraging results of the recently completed Holy See mision to South America in an effort to alleviate the problem of European displaced persons through immigration. Msgr. Palo Bertoli, a diplomat attached to the Vatican secretariat of state, was sent to South America last August 10 as part of Pope Pius’ effort to cooperate with the international refugee organigation. He contacted both the foreign secretaries and Catholic bishops in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Venezuela and Columbia, but had to report almost

completely negative results upon his return to the Holy See. Msgr. Bertoli found that the number of immigrants from Eufope which these countries can abSor.b is “virtually insignificant” because facilities for transporting, housing and caring for them generally are so limited. His report uncovered enormous good will on the part of South American countries to admit European immigrants, but very little possibility of realizing immigration problems on a scale the size of the displaced persons problem. He found the best possibilities were in Argentina and Venezuela but he said that even these countries faced "tremendous difficulties” in realizing immigration plans already adopted. In view of his report, the Vatican, which considers the displaced persons Europe’s greatest human problem, is recommending two possible solutions: either North America should further reduce its immigration barriers, or European countries should try to get the suffering DP’s out of refugee camps by absorbing them gradually. On the general economic situation, the consensus of numerous reports reaching the Vatican is that conditions are slightly improved in eastern and western Europe over a year ago but production is still short of the minimum needed. One Vatican official summed it up: “the situation in Europe on food, Clothing and housing is better than last year but generous American help is still vitally necessary.” 0 Experience is the gift for dealing with the accidents of existence, not the accidents themselves. — Huxley. oj Trade in s» Good Town — Decatur Relief At Last For Your Cough Creomulsion relieves promptly because it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, Inflamed bronchial mucous membranes.
