Authorities said the gaming operation was discovered when one of the men was questioned concerning a minor traffic violation. The tickets were found in his car. —' end, Singleton said. Barricades have been erected on the road approaches to the bridge, but a motorist might drive through these blockades unaware of. the danger if\ the signals have been removed, Singleton explained. v The bridge will be dosed about a month during construction., A cement floor will span the ditch, which empties into Blue Creek ditch. \ The bridge is located southwest of the Blue Creek stone quarry and recently was'*declared unsafe. Bids for its rebuilding were received last week and construction started immediately on the new span. Singleton warned Halloweeners and youths not to remove the flares and lanterns which will te placed at the , road blockades tonight. ~ Although Michigan is known as the "Wolveflne State", biologist! say the first native-born Wolverine didn’t show up in the state until 1953 when one was born at the Detroit Zoo.

U. N. To Study New Palestine Peace Proposal Security Council Meets Tuesday On Palestine Question UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. UP— Copies of a 800 million dollar Palestine peace program were distributed to members of the United Nations today on the eve of an important security council session to seek a solution to mounting tensions between Israel and her Arab neighbors. t The program for refugee resettlement and economic development of the Holy Land was proposed by a group of proipinent Americans who hoped it would provide an inducement for Israel and the Arab nations to reach a peace settlement The refugee problem will be one of the main topics to be discussed before the security council by Maj. Gen. Vaghn Benn ike, chief of the U. N. truce observation commission, when he reports Tuesday on the situation in Palestine. \ Bennike, called here in the wake of the new outbreaks of violence on the Jordan-Israeli border, will consider and probably shelve temporarily Syria's complaint that an Isreali hydroelectric project on the River Jordan will deprive 15,000 Syrian farmers of water tor irrigation. Sponsors of the new Palestine peace program emphasized that it could be carried out only if the present shaky armistice in the Holy Land was replaced by a permament peace settlement;. The plan would have the United Nations : 1. Invest 500 million dollars in projects to” develop Palestine’s “water, soil, oil, chemical and human resources” over a six-year period. A ra b countries “now receiving or expecting large oil royalties should be invited to make a fair contribption" to the fund. 2. Allocate 300 million dollars for permanent resettlement within the Arab countries of some 800,000 Arab refugees in displaced persons camps since they fled from Israel during thp/ Palestine war. Israel should “be required to make a fair contribution to that fund byway of compensation for abandoned Arab land in Israel.’’ The sponsors of the plan include former undersecretary of state Sumner Welles; Paul Porter, former chief of the office of price administration and U. S. representathe Palestine conciliation commission; Earl G. Harrison, former commissioner of immigration and naturalization; and James G. Patton, president of the American Farmers Union. Today, the general assembly’s main political commitee was expected to wind up Us debate on the French-Tunisian dispute by voting a mildly-worded resolution such as was adopted in the twin case concerning Morocco.
