Zionist Council to proclaim Jewish state May 16
The Zionist General Council in Tel Aviv voted to proclaim an independent Jewish state in the Holy Land on May 16, the day after the British mandate ends. A provisional government may be formed, with a separate military arm and a potential merger of Hagana and Irgun Zvai Leumi under a unified command. Ben Gurion opposed the alliance, and the vote was split 2 to 2 with five abstentions. The council reaffirmed opposition to trusteeship and recognized a Jewish provisional government by the United Nations. Fighting continued, with Jews controlling a 20 mile Judean Hills corridor along the Tel Aviv Jerusalem road and holding several Arab villages. The British Navy intercepted a ship carrying about 600 Jewish refugees near Palestine waters. they were to be detained in Cyprus.

Three Questions to Decide John L Lewis Trial
John L Lewis faces a second trial before Judge T Alan Goldsborough with three major legal issues. Whether Lewis and the United Mine Workers are guilty of contempt for delaying the coal strike order, whether the court should be wiped out as involuntary servitude, and whether the government can seek an injunction under the Taft Hartley Act. The initial contempt order was extended ten days, and the timing of the 89 day emergency period hinges on strike end date. Witnesses may affect whether one day or more are needed.
