Compromise “Holiday Parade Route OK'd

Fight Between City, Patriotic Units Ended

A compromise rotate for the annual Memorial Day parade was worked out -in- the Board of Safety meeting today. A parade permit was granted for_a route which will start at North and Pennsylvania Sts. and will end on the west steps of Monument Circle. The compromise ended a fight between patriotic organizations and the Safety Board and Mayor Feeney over refusal to issue a permit for the 80-year-old parade custom. Route Shortened The new route is not so extensive as the one originally. requested. 2 The original route, the Safety Board contended, . would tie up traffic on all principal streets on a day when thousands of extra motorists will be crowding the downtown area. : Safety Board members still stressed today, however, that the pew route is “subject to traffic conditions.” . Should traffic prohibit the compromise route, the Safety Board

.- Normally -the parade the same day as the race, when most out-of-town traffic is ready at Speedway. This year, however, the parade will be: held on-Sunday, when the downtown area will be crowded with pre-race visitors. Mayor Feeney today said he still does not feel the parade is in the best interest of safety and traffic expediency but that the compromise route is less a hazard ‘thian the original request. “This definitely does not constitute a reversal,” he added. “We never denied a permit for 4 parade as has been stated. We merely denied a permit for the requested line of march.”

Arabs Reported

Respecting Truce LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., May 26 (UP)—Arab officials here reported today that the Arab League had decided to reject the United Nations cease-fire appeal for Palestine unless the Jews revoke their proclamation of the new state of Irrael. | The Arab spokesmen said the |Arab reply had been sent today! from Amman, Trans Jordan, and| would reach United. Nations,

The condition reported fo have; been laid down by the Arabs— dissolution of the 1l-day-old Jewish state-—would be unacceptable to the Jews. The United States, Russia and probably some other members of the council were reported ready to press for sterner Security Council measures to halt the fighting in Palestine. ‘ Security Council discussion of the next step was deferred until the Arab reply reaches United Nations. ”
