Jews C Ship Arms to Arabs

Israel Expected

Troops Cannot Retire i in Holy Land DeGaulle Tightens

Israel government sources at at Tel Aviv said today that the Jewish state has “documentary evidence” proving that the British have been and still are shipping arms to Arab

forces.

This evidence shows, these sources said, that two cargoes including aircraft, tanks and a large n number of guns

now are en route from British bases in Libya to Amman, capital of Trans-Jordan. The Israeli charges were made as informed sources predicted that Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok will inform the United Nations that “practical difficulties” stand in the way of Israeli withdrawal from the Negev area of southern Palestine. Mr, Shertok is en route to Paris. The Israeli charges against Britain also followed recent disclosures in Paris that British, American and French officials have received recent reports indicating that a secret air route from Communist Czechoslovakia is carrying arms to Israel.

Iran THE resignation of Premier Abdul Hajir Hossein and his cab- | inet was in the hands of the] 8hah today. The resignation was reported to have resulted from| lack of co-operation by parliament in approving bills the government regarded as essential.

Syria THREE ministers belonging to the National Party resigned today, provoking a government crisis. Informed sources said the res-| ignations might force the resignation of Premier Jamil Mardam Bey’s entire cabinet.

Soviet Union SOVIET Marshal Semyon K. Timoshenko warned Russia today that it must remain prepared because leaders of the United States and Britain are pressing “a policy of unleashing a new war,” Radio Moscow reported. Timoshenko told a huge throng celebrating the 31st anniversary of the October revolution in Red Square that the “peace-loving policy of our state is meeting resistance ° from Anglo-American warmongers.”

Atlantic Alliance : A FOREIGN office spokesman in London said today that a seven-power conference to negotiate a North Atlantic security pact “most: probably” will take place early in 1949. He indicated that Washington might be the scene of the meeting, which would include the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

To Report Attacks

Police Push Search

| For Sex Maniac | | Police today cautioned house{wives to make immediate reports of attempted molestings or break-ins, as they pushed a] search for a sex maniac who, raped a 54-year-old woman Sat-| Jurday and attempted to attack] several others. Two suspects were virtually cleared today when the victim

could not identify either as the man who assaulted her in her home in the 1100 block N. New Jersey St. Saturday. Investigators said they believed the rapist was the same “dirtyooking” man who tried to force his way into two homes in the! 1300 block N. Alabama St. on ipretense of renting a room Sat|urddy. However, he had disappeared by the time police reached |the scene. The same man also was believed connected. with several| other molestings but delays in Je in reports hampered police. Meanwhile, extra squads have “tightened” patroling of the near '| North Side area where the sex pervert struck at least four times | after the brutal attack. In addition to the attempted | intrusions in the two Alabama St. homes, the man tried to beg a | drink from a 60-year-old housewife at 2400 Guilford and sought { food at another home nearby. | In each case residents said he was a “greasy, dirty-looking” man, about 30 to 35 years old, five feet eight inches tall, weighling 150 pounds. They said he had a southern“accent and mum- | bled incoherently.
