Rabbi Abba Hiliel Silver of Cleveland chief American spokesman for the Jewish agency for Palm Beach said the agency regards the partition program as "binding" and will move to fulfill it alone if the U. N. "is unable to carry out its own decisions."
Rabbi Silver attacked the United Rebabi Silver proposal for the Big Five to consult on the growing trouble in Palestine, saying that it would "be seized upon by the opponents of the United Nations decision as another opportunity to reopen the whole question..."
Rabbi Silver delivered to the council a plea for strong and speedy approval of the partition program in the face of Arab resistance and a growing movement in the U. N. to try altering the Holy land plan.

Snow Blocks Kansas Roads
Bv UNITED PRESS
A thousand men manned snowplows in Western Kansas today in the wake of a storm which brought joy to wheatland farmers.
The storm moved into the eastern half of the state today, leaving a heavy mantle over the young winter wheat in the west, and farmers and agricultural observers called the snow "the most wonderful thing for the wheat that could have happened."
All of Kansas was covered but the fall was heaviest in the big western grain belt. The storm was over in that area today but high winds and snow in the east made travel hazardous in those areas.

House Prunes Funds Request For 5 Agencies
Washington. March 5—(UP)—The house appropriations committee today pruned $30,119,379 from funds requested by President Truman for the labor department and five other federal agencies.
federal labor. In so doing, it proposed to put out of business on July 1 the labor department's bureau of veterans' re-employment rights, an agency set up to help returning servicemen get their old jobs back.
This service is no longer necessary, the committee said in refusing to include a requested $500,000 for the bureau in the labor department-federal security appropriation bill'for the 1949 fiscal year.
The appropriations bill carried a total of $905,405,250 for the labor department, the federal security agency, the national labor relations board, the national mediation board, railroad retirement board, and federal mediation and conciliation service. In addition, the measure provided contract authority of $112,445,750 for hospital construction by the federal security agency. The total vote was $30,119,379 below budget estimates.
One provision in the bill was sure to arouse the ire of Southern house members because of its relationship to President Truman's controversial civil rights program.
It provided that no part of any of the F.S.A.'s appropriation be paid as grants to any state or educational institution in which "because of race, color or creed, discriminatory practices deny equality of educational opportunity or employment."
This provision was written into the bill at the behest of Rep. Frank B. Keefe (R—Wis.)

Says Opponents Plan Filibuster
Washington, March 5-(UP)-Sen Pat McCarran, (D-Nev.) today raised filibuster charges against opponents of a bill to give oil-rich fide lands to the states.
Senator McCarran clashed sharply with Sen. Forrest C. Donnell, (R-Mo.) an opponent of the bill, at a joint judiciary subcommittee hearing.
"I'm going to insist on night sessions," Senator McCarran said. "And all night, not just part of the time."
"If there's going to be a filibuster,
I want to do it right. I'm ready."
Senator Donnell denied he planned filibuster tactics,
nett imbuster attacks
"There has not been and will not be the slightest inclination to filibuster on this matter," he said.
The threat of a presidential veto, however, hung over the bill. Interior Secretary J. A. Krug said Thursday he was "quite certain" President Truman would veto a bill to give the states rights over the tide lands.
Senator Donnell said he would not object to Senator McCarran's demand for night sessions because "I observe the senator's own desire to filibuster."
The Missouri Republican had suggested as the hearing opened that federal government spokesmen and others opposing the bill be given as much time as its advocates had taken. That would be some three weeks.
"I'm going to object to any filibuster to defeat this bill in this congress." Senator McCarran retorted. "I can see what's going on."

Others May Be Friendly To Reds, Thomas Claims
Washington, March 5-(UP)-Rep. J. Parnell Thomas (R.-N. J.) predicted today that forthcoming hearings on Dr. Edward U. Condon will expose other government officials who allegedly have been friendly with Communists.
Mr. Thomas, chairman of the house unAmerican activites committee, accused the commerce department of trying to cover up for Dr. Condon, the famed atomic scientist who heads its bureau of standards.
He made the charge after Commerce Secretary W. Averell Harriman refused his request for the "confidential reports and documents" used by the department in clearing Dr. Condon of disloyalty charges.
Mr. Thomas said the refusal was "definite proof that there is something they don't want congress and the people to see.
Secretary Harriman he plans to put the Condon case before the president's loyalty review board. A board member indicated that the 22-member court of last appeal in the federal government's loyalty program was ready to consider the charges against Dr. Condon.
45th Me Lava 50 Re W
Mr. Thomas rejected secretary Harriman's statement that release of the confidential documents on Dr. Condon would be "prejudicial to the public interest." Attorney General Tom Clark assured him, Mr. Harriman said, that he was within his legal rights in withholding the information from congress at this time.
"Before the Condon hearings are over, there will be other names of government officials whose records of Communist affiliation and association will be brought to public attention."

Reading Matter? The Place Is Full
