ARAB IRREGULARS STRIKE IN JERUSALEM

Talk Of Direct Peace

Negotiations

London, Aug. 27.—Jerusalem's electric power station, operating under the United Nations Truce Commission, was blown up last night, according to an Amman report today. Arab irregulars were blamed for the attack.

In Rhodes, headquarters of the Palestine Mediator, Count Folke Berna- dotte, it was learned that truce observers in the Holy City had reported "general deterioration." It was thought the Mediator might cut short his visit to Sweden to return to Rhodes.'

Meanwhile, a state-controlled Beirut radio broadcast picked up in Tel-Aviv this morning declared that the Arab States might find a "reasonable solution” to tho Palestine war by direct negotiations with the Jews—believed to be the first official Arab expression of this view.

The Lebanese commentator said that if Arab leaders decided on direct talks "without Western pressure," they would not betray their people, but would be trying to serve them, save life and restore the rights of Palestine Arabs.

Anti-Indecency Campaign

The alternative was to Aght for occupation of the whole of Palestine, which would "cost a thousand Arab lives."

Soviets Fail To Guarantee Protection For Berlin Assembly Hall

Berlin, Aug. 27.-General Alexander Kotikov, the Soviet Commandant in Berlin, failed to respond to a request by the City Assembly's President for an assurance by eight o'clock tonight that the Assembly Hall would be protected against Communist demon- strations.

After two invasions of the City Hall by Communist demonstrators within 24 hours, the pro-Western As- sembly threatened to move from the Soviet sector if the Russians did not give this assurance sought by Dr Otto Suhr, the President, in letter to General Kotikov.

Envoys Spend Three More Hours

At Kremlin

VYSHINSKY PRESENT AT

CONFERENCE

Moscow, Aug. 27.-The three Western envoys tonight spent two hours and 55 minutes at the Kremlin with the Soviet Foreign Minister, M. Vyacheslav Molotov, who was accompanied, for the first time, by M. Andrei Vyshinsky, his deputy.

After the meeting, the eighth crisis meeting, the envoys drove straight to the British Embassy, where Mr Frank Roberts, Britain's special represen- tative, said that no communique would be issued tonight, thus disappointing observers who had ex- pected an interim announcement on the month's secret talks.
