(Br th. AiaocUted PnM)
A person associated with the
Israeli foreign ministry said to
day there seemed every reason
to expect a new Palestine truce
by Saturday.
The Israeli army and the crack
. troops of the Trans-Jordan Arab
Legion were fighting an increas
ingly violent battle within signt
of Er Ramie and Lydda for su
premacy of the road from Tel
Aviv to Jerusalem. Both cities
and an estimated 80.00 Arabs in
them surrendered to the Jews
Monday. The Legion counterat
tacked with tanks and artillery
and scored some Initial success
before Israeli lines congealed.
The informant in Tel Aviv pre
dicted a new armistice would
come from modified proposals
Count Folke Bernadotte is expect

The mediator flew to Lake Suc

Considerable fighting was go

T
HERE Is some good news for a
change. Weather permitting,
we're headed for another record
breaking crop. That will mean
more to eat. It MIGHT mean
more to eat for less money.
(More to eat for less money
would be about the finest thing
that could happen to us.)
THE July crop report of the De
partment of Agriculture indi
cates three and a third billion
bushels of corn. That would top
by 40 million bushels the biggest
corn crop we ever harvested.
If you're of the type that
doesn't stop to think (the type is
too numerous for our own good)
you'll say: "Heck, I don't eat
corn bread, so what does a big
corn crop mean to me?"
You eat meat. If you're like
most of us In these days, you
think of meat in terms of big
Juicy steaks. For the United
States as a whole, big Juicy
steaks call for con and lots of it.
For the fancy meat trade, you
don't just go out in the pasture
any more, pick out a likely heifer
and bucher it. You take broad

ing it to the Democratic conven

But the delegates filing Into

mood to turn to Barkley. They

Informed of McGrath's state

"I still have no statement to

"I'm not trying to be evasive
