Air raid precautions were order- ed in Tel Aviv. principal city of the new atate, as the ZOOO-year-old dream ofulewish forefathers was realized. Tension mounted as midnight (6 p.m.. AST). the hour of fulfillment. neared.

At that moment the new state's

‘birth coincided with the official

end of Britain's hectic 31-year rule of Palestine.

Even before that deadline the symbol of British authority, Gen. Sir Alan Gordon Cunningham. tho high commissio , left the soil of the Holy Land to the sombre melodies Of bagpipes. At Haifa. he boarded the British cruise: Euryalus which was ready to steam away at midnight.

The Jewish declaration of in- dependence was issued here at 4.06 pan. The nstakingly simple ceremony lasted only on hour. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurlon read the proclamation which was signed by members of the pro- visional council of government.

' Brough to Montreal by Captain

Murdock and his regular crew the Prince Edward Island car ferry "Aibegweit" was towed into dry- doek at the Canadian Vickers Shipyards for the complete over- haul required for new shipping aftera year's service. ,

. The ferry behaved perfectly on the LON-mile trip up the Gulf and in the narrower reaches of the 5t. Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec. ‘Transport Department officials reported here today.

One of the first tasks of Vick- ers' shipwrlghts will be stem to stern inspcctionof the great ferry'a welded hull to determine if it suc- cessfully withstood the_ battering of the ice this year in Northumtber- land Strait. The inspection job will also include minute examin- ation of propellers and propeller casings, of rudder and steering gear and of the complicated system of electric wiring in all parts of the vessel.

Widespread Interest In “Abegweit ” Overhaul

“Prom the vessel's behaviour on the trip from Borden to Montreal. we believe the Abegweit is in as good shape as the day she sailed down the river from Sorel." a sen- ior ‘Iransport Department official told The Guardian today.

“As far as outward appearances go there's not the slightest thing wrong with her. The inspection at Canadian Violrers simply complies with the statutory provision that all ow shipping must have a thorough over-hauling after a year of service.

Report Awliteil

"A report on the finding of the ship's surveyors and inspecting engineers is expected to reach us in the course of a few days."

Officials said they knew of no plans murrently afoot for any re- modelling of the Abegweit. or in- stallation of any planking for truck traffic.
