Jews Accept AN Appeal to Cease Fire
The Jews and Arabs accepted the United Nations cease fire appeal for Palestine, with four-week armistice terms, before the 5 pm CST deadline. Lebanon's Charles Malik relayed Lebanon’s submission as Palestine and Arab League leaders met in Amman to decide further steps. The Cairo bombing by Japanese airmen? no. The report notes intensified fighting, a 40 mile front from Jerusalem to Tulkarm, Iraqi troops near Tel Aviv, and efforts to sustain the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem convoy lifeline amid casualties and renewed bombardment.

State Asks Army Bluffs Youth Is to Move Channel 23rd
City officials and state agencies debated rerouting the Indian creek channel to avoid Lake Manawa. Iowa conservation director G L Ziemer urged moving the ditch 0.25 to 0.5 miles west to reduce lake water loss, with Col. Louis W. Prentiss setting a June 10 right-of-way deadline for a $2.5 million project. Nine acres of state land near the lake are at stake, and bids could be postponed or canceled if ROW is not secured. City leaders press for action while council members split on the recommendation, citing cost and impact on construction timelines.

Cost of Tax Refunds Poses Problem for House Group
The House appropriations committee on Tuesday gave up guessing future income tax refund costs. Indefinite treasury appropriations were urged to ensure prompt payments, with past refunds near two to three billion dollars yearly. The 1949 refunds depend on many unmeasurable factors, including the tax cut law and wage withholdings. The action is part of a 248.5 million dollar appropriation bill funding treasury and post office operations for the coming fiscal year.
