Thousands Engaged

Both sides have been pouring in reinforcements, Jerusalem dis- patches said. Thousands of Arabs and Jews ncw are reported en- gaged in the struggle.

Even before the battle for Jer- usalem's old city was decided the Arab Legion was reported to have drawn troops out of the Jerusa- lem area and rushed them to Bab El Wad gorge in an attempt to stem the Jewish attack.

The Jews began the offensive Monday and met a heavy con- centration of Arab forces. Belt

IDNDON. May I - (AP) --Britaln today ordered 2i of- ficers serving with the Arab Legion to get out of Palestine. Informed sources said Britain has new proposals for s Jew- iah-Arsb settlement in Pales-

tine under "active considera- tlon." The offibers being with-

drawn from the Holy Land are those Britain had sent to Kin: Abdullah's forces on loan. Brig. John Glubb Pasha, the Legion commander, and other Britons under direct contract to Trans-Jordan are not sf- fected by tha withdrawal.

Jiz and Belt Susin fell to the Jelvish troops after they swept south of the highway in a flank- ing move last night.

To open communications to the 80.000 or 00,000 Jews besieged in the modern sections of Jerusalem the Jews must not only clean Latrun, but also must gain cczn- mand of the heights overlooking Bab El Wad gorge.

Both Arabs and Jews throw aircraft into the fighting which is spreading over the hills where Richard the Lion ldeartod was turned back from his crusade.

llew Plant Will Mean- Saving 0f Millions , In llollar Exchange

‘TORONTO. May 38-Full oper- ation of the new plant of Cana- dlari Johns-Manville Company in the Toronto area at Port Union will mean a saving of several rnll- iion dollars a year to Canada's dollar exchange program.

Transite asbestos-cement Dipe has for some years past been im- ported from the~United totes in increasing quantities and its Iuan- ufflture in Canada at the Johns- Manville plant will greatly reduce the export of United States dollars. Ln addition, the new rock wool process will permit the manufac- ture of a wide range of insulation and sound control materials, many of which were formerly imported.

The production of Transits as-

bestos-acement pipe in Canada will also do much to assist the current program of extending water and sewage systems now being carried on by many municipalities. “This new multi-miliion dollar Toronto plant," states Vice Presl- dent Earle C. Brockett, "represents the country's faith in the indus- trial future of Canada We are proud of the part we have player‘ in Canada's development in the construction and industriais fields. and we are confident of filling an even greater role in the days which lie ahead."
