Palestine Crisis Flares as Arab Leaders Threaten Strife
A heated Arab response to the British American inquiry report raises the prospect of a general strike and renewed Palestinian tension. Abdul Rahman Agama Paghi in Cairo says full Arab unity may abandon the inquiry recommendations and intensify national struggle if the report is adopted. The Arab Higher Committee in Jerusalem calls a one day general strike to protest the report and warns Arabs will resist immigration provisions and any settlement seen as harming Palestinian aims.

Steel Plants Utilities Hit By Coal Crisis
Railroads, utilities and the steel industry face severe disruption from a two‑day coal strike. With 413,000 miners idle across 23 states, rail and power systems fear production cuts, embargoes, and wage losses totaling millions as demand slumps and unemployment rises. Chicago and New York face intensified shortages, while officials warn of broader power rationing and industry slowdowns.
Curtailments Set for Next Friday in Rail Reductions
The Office of Defense Transportation ordered a 50 percent cut in passenger service by coal burning locomotives effective May 15 to conserve dwindling coal supplies. From May 10 to May 15, passenger service will be reduced 25 percent from April 2 levels, with railroads directed to cancel reservations and take actions to enforce the order. An embargo on freight shipments was also announced with a 25 percent minimum reduction starting May 10, amid President Truman’s alarm over the coal strike crisis threatening the economy.
