He spoke nearly an hour to support his charge that Israel has conducted “acts of aggression” against Jordan. More than 100 persons have been killed in recent fighting along the Israeli-Jordan border. Meanwhile, dispatches from the Jordanian sector of Jerusalem quoted Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, UN truck supervisor, as saying there may a major flareup in Palestine. Burns said in an inter view the situation is worse than at any time since he arrived there two years ago. Israel io Speak Next Week This was Jordan’s day in the Council. Israel will present its case next week, perhaps Thurs day, after its delegate, Abba Eban, returns- from consultations in Jerusalem. Israel has filed a cross-com plaint charging Jordan with vio lating their armistice and its cease-fire pledges. Mordecai R. Kidron, deputy Israeli delegate, told the Council, however, there will be peace on the border if Jor dan puts an end to attacks on Israel. Kidron said the UN Char ter does not require Israel to suffer armed attacks upon its ter ritory and population.

Dulles told Ledovski the text of the note would be translated from Russian to English and presented to Eisenhower after his return here Sunday.

U.S. Can Be Tolerant “We might afford to be toler ant—in an amused way—of the current effort to sell senseless economic panaceas in a political bargain basement.” But, Eisenhower said. “We can not be very tolerant of the sug gestion that’the peace of the world can be bought on the same terms and at the same counter. Man of Folly “And the man who today dis misses our military draft as ‘an incredible waste’ is a man speak ing incredible folly.” Stevenson made the statement last night in a speech at Youngs town, Ohio.

Izvestia, the Soviet government newspaper, said a five-year plan! had been drawn up for an ex change of $76 million worth of goods, a 30-fold increase, in the first year, and $320 million worth the following year. Soviet Paper Praises Plan Izvestia said this would greatly ease Japan’s economic difficulties. It attributed these to a “policy of embargo” under American leader ship and said this embargo policy cut across Japan’s “traditional commercial ties with the Soviet Union, China and East European countries.” The end-the-war declaration— a.peace treaty—was signed in the Kremlin by Premier Nikolai Bul ganin and Foreign Minister Dmit ri Shepilov and by Japanese Pre mier Ichiro Hatoyama and Agri culture Minister Ichiro Kono after 16 months of negotiations.

Speaking to more than 1000 So viet and military officials and the entire diplomatic corps crowding the glittering banquet hall, Bul ganin said he was sure the end of the state of war would serve “the interests of our two peoples, the interests of peace and security in the Far East and the whole world.” Declaration to be Ratified The-declaration, which is sub ject to ratification by the parlia ments of the two nations, pledged Russia to return the tiny Habmoai islets and Shikotan Island just north of Japan upon conclusion of a formal peace treaty. It set no time for negotiation of such a treaty.

The 24 passengers and seven crew members stepped off the rescue ship, the Coast Guard cutter Pontchartrain, into joyful embraces of wives, husbands and families crowding the dock. When there was a chance in the crush of welcome, they told of calmness ... of prayer . . . and of a sure faith in survival and rescue last Tuesday, some 1000 miles out in the Pacific. “We had plenty of time to think and pray,” said Mrs. Louise Walker of Oakland. “We talked and prayed,” said Mrs. Richard Gordon, of Silver Spring. Md., who came down the gangplank carrying Maureen, one of her twit two-year-old daugh ters. On the terrible” ditching im pact, Mrs. Gordon said. Maureen flew out of her arms "like a foot ball.” Maureen hit her head on a bulkhead of the Pan American Stratocruiser, but was not badly hurt. Richard Gordon, able safely to hold their other daughter, Eliza beth, said he felt convinced from the very start of the waiting that | they “would come out of it.” I Mrs. Walker said she, too, felt ■this sure faith. ¥erv soon after iCapt. Richard Ogg, of Saratoga, Calif., told that passengers “an ocean ditching was indicated,” flares from the Pontchartrain streaked up into the sky. “We knew the Coast Guard was there, ready, just like Capt. Ogg said,” Mrs. Walker related. Ogg said he had given the pas sengers the full story of their plight without delay. Two of the plane’s four engines had quit. “Ditching is likely,” Ogg told them. “But we have everything under control, and you will be all right if you follow instructions.’* >•»••§•• fMI NOW: I:4*. 3:45. 5:42. 7:34. 4:39 JUDY HOLLIDAY m The Solid Gold Cadillac SUNDAY FEATURE 2:00, 3:57. 5:54. 7:51. 9:48 -V-NITTANY —SATURDAY— "YeIIowneck" +CATHAUM NOW SHOWING Continuous From 1 P-M- ”A SPECTACULAR MOVIE!"-u. rO'ORW't am mm mu PAUL DOUGLAS
