JUDGE ‘KILLS’ HOUSING-RENT ACT—In a far-reaching
opinion, Federal Judge Paul Jones, left, of District Court in
Cleveland. 0.. held the Housing and Rent Act of 1947 uncon-
stitutional Test case was provided when local Office of the
Housing Expediter asked the federal court to enjoin Cloyd W.
Miller, right, Cleveland apartment building owner, from rais-
ing rents up to 60 per cent. Judge Jones said Congress has no
power to enforce local rent controls as a war emergency when
peace has returned “in fact." Housing Expediter officials
recommended immediate appeal of the ruling.

On Palestine
LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 24——
Russia charged today that Britain
was trying - to preventa solution
of the Palestine problem.
—The charge was made by Semen
K. Tsarapkin, who told the Unit-
ed Nations assembly’s 57-member
Palestine committee that Britain's
attitude could be interpreted only
as "a decision to work against a
settlement of the Palestine prob-
lem.'’
Tsarapkin declared that Britain
had "come up with* reservations
that have deprived the (UN' or-
ganization of all means of settle-
ment.”

SAINT Jo, Tex., Nov. 24
Sain Jo was surrounded today by
peace officers from several North
Texas counties as a manhunt con-
tinued for two escaped convicts
believed still inside the city limits.
Police at Gainesville said six cars
carrying three officers each pa-
troled Saint Jo last night, and more
were due today.

Throckmorton County Sheriff W
T Rankin here early last night
The break came at a filling sta-
tion just off the main plaza in the

ty city.
Rankin said the men were be-

handcuffed together at the time of

“We have to reject all state-
ments made by Britain in the Pal-
ratine committee," he said, de-
scribing the British declarations
as '‘incompatible" with the prin-
ciples of the UN charter._________-
Tsarapkin spoke as the commit-
tee approached a vote on a plan
to partition the Holy Land into
separate Jewish and Arab coun-
tries Britain has refused to make
any British troops available to help
enforce the partition plan.
Dr Herbert V Evatt of Austra-
lia. committea chairman, hoped to
begin voting ’tonight.
The United States has promised
o help enforce any Paleatine de-
cisions in the Security council,
which is responsible for security
elements under the partition pro-
posal Herschel V. Johnson told the
committee: "My government will
perform its duty under the charter
'n carrying out security council
decisions." 8
In the event of widespread hos-
tilities in the Holy Land the coun-
cil might call upon UN members
:o order military forces into the
area,
The American statement came
after Canada said the active back-
ing of the five great power* was
necessary to make partition sue-
cessful. The U S , Russia and
China have announced they will
vote for the scheme. France has
taken no stand, and Britain has
indicated she will abstain
The 1947 assembly has finished
