JERUSALEM ( The battle for Jerusalem shifted westward today. The focus of savage fighting was on the higbw 1 to the coast, a Jewish life-line. There the troops of Baganah are making a desper a te attempt to break through an Arab road-block and open the way to the Holy City -- where defenders of Israel have been battling so stubbornly.) The critical point on the highway is a place called Latrun, which is at the edge of the Valley of Ajalon and that vall~y is the place where Joshua, in battle long centuries ago, called upon the sun to stand still.-- Wfl'ietr"'ttl (lne of the moet famous passages in the Bible, a focus of long controversy.In times gone by as it was arg~~d that the Copernican Theory contradicted the Bible becaus~ of that passage -- since how could the earth move around the sun when Joshua - - caused the sun to stand still, indicating that the .!un - moTed around the•••- earth? Joshua's idea was to - make the day longer so t be Israelites would have more time to beat their foes in battle1 Well, all that Biblical lore comes to mind today as the Israelites strive once again, in these modern days, to defeat their foes in battle. In Joshua's Valley of Ajalon, they assailed the A rabs with such violence today that Moslem gz■ troops were c a l l ~ h e city of Jerusalem to A reinforce the defense of th~ road-block. Onita of tbt Arab Legion broke off the battle with the Jewish defenders of Jerusalem, and hurried to the Valley of Ajalon. We hear that tonight the modern Israelites are handicapped by something to remind us of Joshua. Their tactics feature commando raids at night, parties of Baganah shock in the darkness. infiltrating Arab iafi*xiafii*z•*••~poaitions it' ---~~~42 ~ full moon in Palestine -- and the gleaming satellite can be brilliant indeed ta - b l ! . , , - ~ ~ edge . • ~ 1 0 • z■:rg■Aof the Arabian ••■zii desert, full moon can tur~ night almost into day, and that:s impeding commando tactics, which rely on darkness.

FINLAMD The political crisis in Finland is over, brought to an end by a compromise which sounds like something ot a masterpiece in the diplomatic art. Some dJys ago, the Pinna tossed out their ~Olllllunist Minister of the Interior, because of 1.Jlproper dealings he had •1th the Soviets. Whereupon the Reds in Finland staged a •neral strike to entoroe a deaand that, when they appointed a new Ministerrt the Interior, he'd b~er be a . Connuniat - according to the Soviet-propounded- theory of controlling the M1n1atry ot the Interior, which 1n tum controls the police, who in turn are all-illlportant tor the establishment of a Red police state. The strike baa been only a aort ot haltway 1ucoe11, ao today came the c011proatse. President Paaa1kiv1 appointed a Minister of the Interior, and he's not a C01111UD11t - he•• sort ot ambiguous. But another Minister was appointed, - aaauatng otttce as Minister Without PorttolloAa woaan - and she 1 8 the w1te ot the coaauniat M1n1ater ~t the Interior who waa ousted. rd. a aort ot t&11ily solution. In other wo , PIHLAJO) - 2 The lady is described as the brains 1n the F1nn1eh Coauniet Party, which would certainly seem to make her the better halt ot the ousted Communist 11n1ater of the Interior. MARSHALL Secretary or State Marshall gave the facts today about himself and the annual award bestowed by The Churchman, a magazine which has the appearance of some sort of anotf1c1al connection with the Episcopal Church. 'Dl1a magazine 11 edited }1y the Reverend Guy Ellery Shipler, who has been charged tepeatedly with being pro-Coaaunist and pro-Soviet. !he ored 1endah1p, ent to R ~ ed with a ble to The Churchman, edited by the Reverend ahipler, makes an award each year to 1011e d11t1ngt111hed person, and this year the selection was - Secretary ot state llaraball.

Be aaid - yea, he had at one time screed to accept the annual award ot 'ftle Cburchllan. But since then - he baa changed his mind. At the time ot his acceptance, a tn aontbll qo, he thought the publication waa an otticial, or at least a•1-otf1c1al, magazine ot the Episcopal Church. Later on he found that this was not true, and leamed that 'l'he Churchman goes 1n tor 41acusa1ons ot international politics. Here we -. 1 note that the political line put MARSHALL - 3 torward in the magazine, is not at all unfavorable to the tAli!fdf-- Soviets. In view ot/\ this, the Secretary said today, he thought it would be iaproper tor hill to accept the award. So be declined. TRADE The Lower Bouse ot Congress passed the Reciproc c l Trade Bill this afternoon - and thereby defied the White Bouse. The Congressmen voted to extend the present reciprocal trade ~ policy tor one year - the President aaked tor an extension of /.. ' three years.

OUI'fflY In France, the actor and playwright, Sacha Oll1try, has long been renowned tor his mastery of the dramatic effect, his art in producing a theatrical acene~sach• Qu1tr 1 11 e-t-ee 1n some disfavor right now, because ot charaea that he collaborated with the lazis during the war. So today there waa a bit ot draaatic action that would have eacited the adll1rat1on ot the tuoua wizard ot the atage - except that he played the principal role. Re was the star. In the old City ot Lyon, 1n the south ot JPrance, they celebrated the preaier ot the latest saoha Gllitr, aotlon picture, oalled - "'!he C0111dian." That arouaed aanlte1tat1oaa, with the circulation ot puapblete denouno1q the actor and plapright tor hie alleged collaboration with thl 1&111. However, the prea1er ot the t1la, "!he COlledlan", went ott according to schedule. Sacha OU1try b11laelt waa tbere, and gracetully took the plaudits. -Thereupon, he started tor hla hotel, driving 1n hia autoaoblle with an actre11 - when things proceeded to happen. The events that followed the ---~ GUITRY - 2 premier of "The Comedian" did not seem like comedy at all not to the author ot "The C011ed1an." He was driving along an avenue and approachin& a railroad cro111ng - when down caae the barrier, the gate that ia lowered when a train 11 coming. Sacha ai1t17 1top~d h1a car. What he didn•t know waa that the railroad cro111ng barrier had been lowered by parti1ana ot the Antt-Quitry faction. They stopped hia car that way, and then - up they stalked. 'ftley •~e Guitry and the actre11 pt out ot the oar, put t-heil 1n a truck, and drove ott ~You can 1ai.i1nl tbl qttated thoqht1 in the a1nd ot the tuaoua actor and plaJWrilht.

'!'he attermath ot "The Coaedian" waa beg1!mlnl to look ■ore like tragedy. GUI'l'RY - 3 The abductors drove to a place where preparationa bad been made. It waa a site whe1•e a aanctury 1n ■•ory ot the .. ~· Anti-Nazi Retiatance .,- being built. 'ftlere they took Ouitry out or the truck. Th• plot waa thickening. !he c011edy waa being most untwmy. 'l'he tragedy was deepening. The big scene c111e, when the abductors told OU1tr, to tall on his 1mees before the aanctuary of the Re111tance, kneel down am pray. It waa often thus in old romances, the vict1a given a chance to say h1a prayers, before be••• aurdered. So the raaous actor and playwrtlht waa kneelinl there, 1n an attitude ot prayer - when he waa ebot.

Then• they let hiJI go - atter Sacha ~1try had CJUI'IRY - ~ played the atatt part 1n thtt ■oat dramatic acene or b1a lOIII oareer on the stage.
