Britain to Hand Palestine to Arabs in Policy Move
The British government announced a policy to transfer control of Palestine to its Arab majority, provoking fierce Jewish opposition. The White Paper proposes a two stage plan: Jews may immigrate under strict limits for five years, then further entry limited, while Arab governance and independence goals are set. The document signals a potential end to a unified Jewish state project and redraws regional expectations.

Navy beef ban fights Senate approval in peacetime budget
A record peacetime naval appropriation of 773049151 faced a Senate committee vote over a house approved clause blocking the navy from buying Argentine canned beef. The panel, by 9 to 7, retained the prohibition amid tensions between Roosevelt and Western lawmakers over a 48000 pound order. Roosevelt said Argentine beef was superior and naval officials urged removal of the restraint. The bill would fund two 46000 ton battleships, 21 other warships, auxiliaries and 800 fighting planes. Also, the Army will offer a year of driving instruction at seven civil schools to meet apprentice needs, with flyers to receive private-school training.
