Have Peace THE HAGUE, The Netherlands, May 7.

(P) -Winston Churchill today urged immediate formation of 8 United European Assembly and asked European nations to sacrifice some measure of national sovereignty to permit eventual establishment of federation. He envisaged this federation as part of a larger world government based on the main grouping of mankind. Britain's wartime prime minister addressed 600 members of 22- national "Congress of Europe" in a city decorated with 8 new flag for the proposed European federation. The flag, a large red on a white background, was designed by Duncan Sandys, son-in-law of Churchill. The forum was held in the tullpdecorated Hall of Knights, meeting place of the Dutch Senate.

Says Movement Not Political National hatreds of the past must be forgotten so the continent can live in peace, Churchill said. He described the movement for European unity as one of peoples and not of political parties. aim at the eventual participation of all peoples throughout the continent whose society and way of life are not in discord with the charter of human rights and sincere expression of free democracy," Churchill said. "We welcome any country where the people own the government, and not the government the people." The delegates unanimously adopt- ed a resolution stating that the objectives of the congress will not be attained until "all Europe is united and organized." Fraternal greetings were addressed to all the peoples of Europe. Gregoire Gavencu, former Romanian foreign minister, said: "The idea of a United Europe means hope of to the people of Romania.

state that Romania wants to Join a united Europe." He added that "the arbitrary line now dividing Europe is drawn in sand and can move toward the west at a command from. Moscow." Forum Debates Resolution Churchill did not elaborate on his call for the establishment of a European assemby. However, the delegates from 22 nations attending the forum have before them a resolution, urging the establishment of such body. Until elections could be held, each parliament of Europe should appoint representatives to the assembly. The assembly would advise AD emergency council.

The latter body would have almost super-governmental powers. It would be charged with directing joint action for economic recovery and military defense. The council also would plan the Federation of Europe. Also before the forum 15 a resolution for creation of a supreme tribunal to protect fundamental democratic rights. Denying that such a council would confliet with the United Nations, Churchill reiterated his belief that a body of that type "was a but necessary part of the world organization." He foresaw a world.

organization with these three "august but subordinate" regional councils; 1-The Soviet Union. The Council of Europe, fig Great Britain joined with her empire and commonwealth. 3- The Western Hemisphere. "I was anxious at first lest the United States of America should view with hostility the idea of a United States of Europe," Churchill said. "But I rejoice that the great republic in its era of world leadership has risen far above such moods.

"We must all be thankful as we sit here that the nation called to the summit of the world by its mass, its energies and its power, has not been found lacking in those qualities of greatness and nobility upon which the record of famous states depends." 20 Years Ago In The Post-Star May 8, 1928 Mrs. B.

Wainwright, the Bataan hero, told Congress today: Bring General Douglas MacArthur home, because the "enemies of the United States" seek civil war and revolution in this country. Wainwright said in a letter to Republican leaders of Congress that "No man in this country suffered more because of lack of preparedness except probably myself, than Douglas MacArthur." He added: Says General Knows Enemies "He (MacArthur) knows only too well that the present enemies of the United States and our world desire first to accomplish their objective of the destruction of our constitutional democracy by means of revolution and civil war. "Their last resort only would be real war from the land, sea and air "There is no officer in the Untted States armed forces whoseperience in any degree equals that of General "Why does the Congress of the United States not order General MacArthur back to testify before it and give the country the benefit of his vast -knowledge and these dominant, all-consuming necessities of today?"

But, said Taft, "we will take up anything that comes out or the Armed Services Committees in both House and Senate have been working on plans for a temporary draft and other measures for over seven weeks since President Truman asked for them March 17.

POST FALLS, N. SATURDAY MORNING, EMERGENCY UNIT FOR HOLY LAND IS ASKED BY BRITON Creech-Jones Urges U.N.t Kegime to Take Over After May 45 WANTS -ARAB-JEW OKAY Britain Soys ft Can't Final Man to Be Mayor of Jerusalem LAKE SUCCESS, May Britain tonight for an emergency United Nations organization to carry on ordinary life Palestine after May 15. Arthur Creech-Jones, British Colonial Secretary, agreed with growing feeling among U. N. delegates that the N.

Assembly on Palestine must create an emergency regime to take over Palestine when the British mandate -ends on that date. But he told a special '12-nation sub-committee of the Assembly that he was strongly against any organization with wide powers. He said this organization must have the agreement of both Arabs and Jews, and that it must stop work as soon as a solution is reached in Palestine. Creech-Jones spoke to the subcommittee at 8 private session shortly before he planned to leave for London. Asks U.

N. To Pick Mayor Earlier Britain had asked the U. N. to help find a neutral mayor for Jerusalem. The British said they were unable to discover such a man in Palestine.

Then they asked the special U. N. Assembly to name someone acceptable to Arabs and Jews to fill one of the hottest jobs in the world. The British informed the U. N.

they were still trying in London to locate a mayor for the Holy City. Reports from Jerusalem, meanwhile, said Jews and Arabs virtually have agreed to a truce for Jerusalem. The Arabs were said to have issued a cease-fire order effective at. noon tomorrow; the Jews said they would stop shooting when the Arabs did. Sharp words flew at the U.

N. headquarters after the U. N. press in division said Foreign Secretary Ere nest Bevin of Britain had advised Secretary-General Trygve Lie that Britain had been unable to find a man for the spot and had suggested the U. N.

try to pick a nominee it in talks with Arabs and Jews here. The United States delegation ed this reported decision "another example of the shocking lack of cooperation by the British with the United Nations" on the Palestine issue. Britain Describes Situation A British delegation spokesman said this actually is the situation: 1. The High Commissioner for Palestine notified Arthur CreechJones, British Colonial Secretary, that he could not find a man in Palestine for the Jerusalem post. He suggested the U.

N. try here. Creech-Jones sent the message to Lie. 2. The British delegation received message from Bevin's office ing the government was continuing attempts in London to find an ac-.

ceptable man. The U. S. delegation spokesman then said the Americans were glad to hear the British were continuing efforts to find a suitable man. The Assembly yesterday voted 35 to 0 for a resolution recommending that the British name a neutral ac-' ceptable to both Jews and Arabs.

This man would administer the Holy City when the British give up the mandate week from tomorION. The 1 U.S. spokesman said for the British to name the mayor came from the British. Delegates had been surprised by the first reports, which seemed to take the force out of the only concrete action the Assembly has taken on Palestine at this second special Assembly, Later they appeared gratified that the project had not been abandoned. U.N.

delegates began talks with representatives of the Jewish Agency for Palestine and the Arab Higher Committee as soon as they heard of Britain's, decision. They ran into Arab Higher Committee opposition immediately. A committee spokesman said the Arabs would not accept any for Jerusalem appointed by the U.N. He said -this would be the first step in carrying out the U.N. Assembly's decision last Nov.

29 to partition Palestine into Jewish and Arab countries. Several delegates told the Assembly yesterday it was time for the U.N, to make a decision without seeing first whether Arabs and Jews approved it. Commenting on this development, the Arab spokesman said the Assembly could. do what it wanted to on paper. ze He the stronger side 91- pin in Palestine in the end.

This official predicted thatd the regular U.N. Assembly meeting in Paris in September would be faced with an accomplished fact and it would have to recognize that fact. Dewey Aide Recovers ALBANY, N. May 7. (AP)James C.

An information officer of the Palestine government made publie the communique just as Jerusalem experienced its bitterest outbreak of fighting in a week. Arabs at the Jaffa Gate to the old walled city and Jews in the Yemin Moshe district fired on each other for half an hour.

Both sides finally were silenced when the British Army iptervened with sixpounder cannon. The Jews had thrown a smoke curtain over their ghetto-like quarter on Jerusalem's south side and the British countered with chute flares. Jews and Arabs in the same portion of the city had skirmished with each other before dawn. The truce talks in Jericho Pasted three and three-quarters hours. The meeting was convened at Cunning- ham's invitation.

Before leaving Jericho Amman, the Trans Jordan capital, Safwat Pasha issued a statement to reporter criticizing the Arab states "for failure to choose- the right leaders in Palestine's liberations." He said he had wasted more than half his time as commander of the Arab Volunteer Army in meetings and discussions. The Jewish Agency spokesman referred to a letter from the Agency to the high commissioner on April 9 in answer to Cunningham's plea for a cease fire. The letter said "the Arabs started these attacks and as soon as they stop them we shall do 50. too. That goes for Jerusalem as well as anywhere else in Palestine."

GE UNIONS SILENT ON WAGE PARLEY NEW YORK, May 7 (P) Union delegates from 92 General Electric Company plants returned, home today without announcing results of a union wage conference held here yesterday. There were 100 members of the CIO United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers in the group.

They met here with an announced purpose "to formulate policy in connection with the wage and contract campaign" that the union is carrying to General Electric. Union officials declined to comment on- the meeting. On Wednesday, UE officials met with General Electric representatives for five hours without making any progress on the union's demand for "substantial" but unspecified wage increases and other contract improvements. Both parties agreed to stand ready for each other's call for further negotiating sessions. The union claims its members have lost $13 a week in purchasing power due to rising prices.

General Electric has opposed the wage demands on the grounds that they would be inflationary and would halt the company's announced price-cut plan. The union represents 125,000 workers in the company. Found Dead on Porch GOUVERNEUR, N. May 7.

At least 54 other railroads have annouriced sin liar embargoes, will be an effect by tomorrow or Sunday. These embargoes are to prevent cargoes from being stranded out on the lines, and threatened with spoilage, when the strike deadline Farrives. If the strike is averted. no important shortages are expected to appear because of the embargoes, Stocks on hand or still in transit will tide consumers over at least for a few days.

Instead of setting a general embargo deadline, some railroads have instructed their agents to continue accepting perishables only where delivery. before the strike deadline is assured. Cancels Potato Shipments At Presque Isle, all potatoes shipments out of Aroostook County were cancelled today by the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, effective "atter Saturday's freight."

Sudden Silence in Barber Shops Caused By Federal Law, Congressman Explains WASHINGTON, May 7 (P) -Ever since there been barbers, there have been jokes about barbers. You know: The man in the white coat who bends your ear about polltics as he applies the clippers where you didn't want them. The barber who wants to sell you every bottle of stinkum on his shelves. It's legend that goes way back to Roman times. Cicero, the books (say, was he wanted his hair cut.

"In silence," the great man replied. Well, the joke's over. Your barber doesn't dare try to sell your hair tonic these days, says Rep. Curtis (R-Neb). In fact, the poor guy hardly dares venture an opinion about Russia, or the Brooklyn Dodgers, or Lana Turner.

He's scared to death! a barber wants to sell a bottle or two of hair tonic, he must sign 8 certificate that scares him to death," Curtis informed the House. He produced the certificate, too. It's put out by the people who sell barber supplies and it tells the barber what he's, up against in the matter of Federal taxes: 1. The heads of three key railroad unions which have voted to strike next Tuesday conferred twice with John R. Steelman, the President's labor trouble-shooter.

The union men said things were just discussed "in a general way" and that Steelman presented no formula for heading off the strike. 2. Steelman instructed the railroads to send their negotiating committee to the White House "as early 85 possible" tomorrow morning. The carriers' bargaining unit was in Chicago today. 3.

Immediately after his second conference with the union men, Steelman called in W. T. Faricy, president of the Association of American Railroads. He also had talked with that management representative yesterday. The word went around that the White House, as a last resort, is ready to ask for a 20-day postponement of the strike: One of the union chiefs said, however, that such a postponement was not discussed at today's conferences.

Charles G. Ross, Mr. Truman's press told reporters that the conferences were "exploratory" and that the union men would be called back if Steelman wants to see them after he has talked with the representatives of management. Present at the two meetings were: Alvanley Johnston of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, David B. Robertson of the Firemen and Enginemen, Arthur J.

Glover, of the Switchmen, and Steelman. Report No Concrete Suggestions There was no indication of the trend of their talks. But the union men said that Steelman thus far had made no concrete suggestions or indicated that the government has any compromise proposal in mind. Informants who spread the word that a 20-day truce might be sought said that the government doesn't like the idea of a simple postponement, but is considering it in the event the strike cannot be staved off any other way, The outlook seemed dark after the first conference. Johnston told reporters "all we did was spend an hour and a half with Mr.

Steelman, exploring the situation." Before their conference got started, however, Attorney General Clark told reporters the President has legal power to seize the roads if he chooses to do so. Other high advisers of the President said, however, that he would seconsider seizure only as -8 last resort If all settlement efforts collapse. Steelman had gone over the wage dispute yesterday with W. T. Faricy, president of the Association of American Railroads.

Faricy represents the carriers' management generally. Faricy Sees no Concessions Railroad management sources said that Steelman, in yesterday's conference, asked Faricy, whether the railroads, had in mind any concessions which would let the three unions rescind theft strike call without losing face. According to this account, Faricy told him the railroads had accepted the recommendations of Mr. Truman's fact-finding board and saw no way they could take any further action. The fact-finding board recommended pay increase of 15 1-2 cents an hour for the members of the the three unions, the same figure which was accepted by 17 other rail unions last Fall.

The three unions which now are threatening to strike demand a 30 per cent pay increase, plus changes in many operating rules. The effect of most of the rules changes would be to increase their takehome pay. The strike is set to sweep across the nation from East to West at 6 A. local time zones, Tuesday. Railroad yard employes have been instructed by the strike directors to walk out promptly at that hour.

Members of the three unions who are out on their runs were told to complete them or bring their trains in to the nearest terminal. Cost of the helicopter campaign has not been determined. The Town of Webb Planning Board appropriated $4,000 for it. Members of the Central Adirondack Association, representing 117 area hotels, will add to the fund, director Leo E. Westfall of the town's promotion bureau said.

Glasgow said the project had been opposed by certain sportsmen's groups because wild life was reported tattoo by a yea The helicopter method, however, will not affect wild life, he said. Use of the fog sprays was possible by an amendment to the state public health law passed by the legislature this, year, Dr. Glasgow pointed out. The DDT fog is designed to kill fully-grown black flies on the wing. The slow-flying helicopters will cover the designated areas several times during the season, A downdraft, created by the whirling overhead blades of the plane, will force the insecticide through the treetops to the ground, where the flies thrive.

Regular type airplanes cover the area too fast to be effective, Glasgow said, A $10,000 fine or five years in jail or both it he cracks open a bottle of hair tonic which he bought for resale. The barbers, said Curtis, are in despair; "They just throw up their hands and cannot operate under such a law. They do not sell at retail Ourtis has a bill to remedy this. It would take away the 20 per cent Federal tax on bulk cosmetics used in barber and beauty shops. And it would do away, the Congressman said, "with the necessity of signing these obnoxious, frightening certificates." Then the barbers of the nation: can relax.

They can uncork a jug of 86-proof dandruff remover with no fear of stone walls and iron bars. In their new freedom, they may even resume their historic status as authorities on econotnics, fashions and life after death. You can almost hear them Lawtalking as they ship, praising Dr. Baldy's -restorer to the skies. Or hadn't you noticed that they ever stopped? I New York Bus Lines To Seek Higher Fares- NEW YORK, May lines 7 (P).

vately-owned bus rushed today to ask for higher fares to meet wage increases they promised last night to avert a strike. Six lines granted 24-cent hourly increases this week. The last two firms settled with the CIO Transport Workers Union shortly before the deadline at 3 A. M. (EST) today.
