British Release Fishman as Troops Stay Armed in Four
Jerusalem July 12 Rabbi L Fishman aged year old was released from Lat Hetetion Camp and returned to Jerusalem. The Palestine high commission said his release was on medical advice due to age and health, not linked to detention. Jewish agency leaders faced arrests in a British roundup, with key figures still in custody as British orders restricted troops to barracks and mandated arms at all times. The high commissioner’s note warned of strict action for violence while searchers uncovered contraband munitions and troops withdrew to normal posture.

Move Seen In Farm Break Of Third Party Movement

Up Draft Age To 34 Years Backed By Officials
The Army may raise the draft age above 30 to meet manpower needs and exempt fathers. President Truman previously raised the top draft age from 37 to 29 after V E Day and then to 25.

A conference on higher education urged a special federal administrator to coordinate postwar programs as veterans flood colleges.
