U N, ASSEMBLY VOTES TODAY ON
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., May 13. — (AP).— Russia
headed for almost certain defeat in the United Nations
today on a proposal aimed at creating an independent
Palestine state, possibly within six months.

Committee convened at 11 a. m.
(EDD). . :
Defeat of the Soviet proposal
became increasingly likely after
the committee late yesterday voted
to give the proposed Palestine In
quiry Commission an entirely free
hand in studying any question of
Holy Land independence.
The committee tossed out five
similar proposals, declaring in
substance that the Inquiry Com
mission should bear in mind the
principle that independence of
Palestine should be the main pur
pose of any Holy Land plan. 1
The Soviet proposal provides
that the Inquiry Commission draft
a plan for immediate creation of
an independent Palestine state and
submit it to the regular session of
the General Assembly in Septem
ber for action. |
Disposition of the Russian pro
posal would bring the committee
to the last controversial issue of
the special session on Palestine—
composition of the Inquiry Com
mission. |
The United States has preposed
that the United Nations establish |
a small inquiry group composed
of “neutral” countries, but with- |
out Big Five or Arab representa
tion. Russia is insisting that the
Big Five should be included. |

‘Rimual Art Auction
l Opens Tonight At 8
, The internationally known
painter , Yasuo Kuniyosni,
will be one of the auction
neers .at. ‘the 'Tih Annual
Art Auction to be held in
'the Fine Arts Auditorium tonight
at 8 o’clock. For the past week
Kuniyoki has been speaking to
large groups of art students and
art lovers of Athens. His visit
]was made possible through the
lgrant for visiting scholars of the
' University Center of Georgia.
l Kuniyoski, although (born in
Okanawa, Japan in 1893, is proud-
I]y claimed by American artists
I as an American painter. He came
| so this country when he was 13
to tour textile production centers.
| In spite of the hardships which
he faced, he decided to study art.
He studied at she Los Angelees
School of Design, the Art Students
League, and with Keurh Hughs
Miller. He has now become one
of the foremost American paint
ers.
I During* Kuniyoshi’s short stay
[ut Athens he has won th, hearts
of not only the art students but
students from other departments
who have been able to partici
pate in his informal but enrich
ing discussions. His ever ready
‘sense of humor, the frankness
and boldness with which he
'speaks, and his genuine humility
| will make his visit one never to
be forgotten by the city of Ath
‘ens. It was at one of his last
'meetings that Kuniyoshi an
'nounced, as though it were a
sudden decision that he would
like to help auction. IInI his usual
simply way he said ‘l'm pretty
i good auctioneer.”
~ Kuniyoshi’s participation is one
of many features that promise to
‘attract a big crowd to the auction
‘tonight. As well as a lighograph
'donated by Kyniyoshi there wil!
be works by such noted artists as
Jean Charlot, Warren Robinson,
and Lamar Dodd. These are only
a few of some hundred pieces
carefully selected from th, best
of donations by students, faculty,
and interested artists. The money
from the auction is to go to the
Fund for General Advancement
of Art in Georgia.
Special Treat
As a special treat of the Tth

Senate Takes Final
Vote On Labor Bill
Friends And Foes Foresee Easy Passage;
Only Question Hinges On Majority
WASHINGTON, May 13.—(AP)-—The Senate put its
praised and condemned labor disputes bill up for a final
vote today.
With friends and foes agreed that passage was certain
the only big question was:
Freight Ruling
Okayed In South,
Criicized In East
By The Associated Press
The Supreme Court decision on
“class freight rates” has been
greeted with approval in the
South and criticism in the East,
but there is general agreement
that it will encourage industrial
growth in the South.
The decision upheld an Inter
state Commerce Commission order
to boost rates on manufactured
products 10 per cent in the north
east and lower them 10 per cent
in southern and western states
east of the rockies.
Railroad officials generally
withheld comment last night pend
ing a study of the decision. As a
dissenter to the 7-2 decision,
Justice Robert H. Jackson esti
mated the order would increase
by $50,000,000 the freight charges
paid by northeastern shippers.
Norris W. Ford, executive of the
Connecticut Manufacturers As
sociation and chairman of the
New England Governors’ Freight
Rate Committee, said the ruling
was “very disappointing” and
“will cause a great deal of con
fusion in railroad rate making.”
4 Great Step
* Gov. Millard-Caldwell of Florida
called the ruling “a great siep for
ward” and Gov. Strom Thurmond
of South Carolina said it would
“tend to place the South on a
parity with other states and en
able us to compete with them
along industrial lines.” |
However, Thurmond said, “we
are going to continue the fight un
til we get complete equalization.”
Former Gov. Ellis Arnall of)
Georgia, under whose administra
tion the state instituted an anti
trust action charging that the rail
roads conspired o fix discringina
tory freight rates, said the de
cision still leaves “the South at a
20 per cent disadvantage” in rates
and that “we have got to get ab
solute equality.” ‘

BULLETIN
WASHINGTON, May id—
(AP)—The Senate today pass
ed its big labor bill designed
to curb strikes and halt many |
union practices.
The vote was 68 to 24. This
was more than the two-thirds
margin needed to override a
Presidential veto.
The far-reaching measure,
deneunced by organized labor
but generally endorsed by
many jindustrialists, now goes
to conference for compromise
with a tougher bill approved
by the House.
Then the compromise ver
sion will go to the White
House, probably late this
month.
Shortly before the final vote ‘
the Senate rejected 73-19 a
substitute bill drafted by a
group of Democrats who re
garded it as the kind of legis
lation Mr. Truman weuld sign.
Critics called it a “milk-and
water” bill.
Senator Taft (Ohio), chair
man of the Senate’s Repub
lican Policy and Labor Com
mittee, led the fight for the
bill adopted.

Their demand for committee
action on the nomination of the
former Attorney General came at
a time when their own as well as
Republican ranks appear divided
over the President’s possible
choice of Mark F. Ethridge, Lou
isville publisher, as directing
head of the S4OOOOOOOO Greek-
Turkish aid program.
Biddle’s appointment has heen
pigeonholed by the Republican
controlled committee since Janu
ary 29. In the interval, the Coun
cil already has met and adjourn
ed, to meet again next fall.
Republican opposition to Biddle
was reported to stem from his
“New Deal” viewpoint which
some GOP committee members
think should not be carried to
the Ul. N. Council.
New Deal Issue
However, a Democratic senator
who favors the nomination, told a
reporter he thinks the fate of the
appointment rests on whether
Chairman Vandenberg (R-Mich.)
decides to go along, even if re«
luctantly.
Vandenberg has declined com-~
ment. <
The “New Deal” issue also wé&s
said to have been raised against
Fthridge by Southern Democrats
as well as Republicans.
There have been indicatiotis
that the State Department would
like to have Ethridge take owver
the directorship of the Greek-
Turkish program. He served as
American representative on.the
United Nations group investigat
ing Greek border disturbances.
But with a Senate fight in sight,
some senators . expressed doeubt
that any such appointment would
be made. o
