Kansas Police Say Force May Be Used Again Kansas City, Mo., April 23 (UP) Kansas City police warn ed tonight that 'f hey will use force again, if necessary, to break up mass picketing in the meat strike. .Club-swinging police turned a crowded union hall into sham bles today in the latest clash in the nationwide packinghouse strike. The man in charge of the cops, Captain Eli Dahlin, said, "We're not going to have any more trouble here. We'll beat them all on the head if neces sary. That is just what the Kansas City cops did today. Captain Dahlin called out the entire headquarters force, except for two women clerks. The police marched over to the Cudahy plant and broke up the pickets in a bloody 10-minute battle. Then they chased the fleeing pickets into a nearby union hall and battered them into submis sion. The cops made a shambles out of the union hall. Furniture was broken, women were kicked, and several of the strikers sopn needed medical attention, in cluding one with a possible skull fracture. The way was cleared for non strikers to go to work -at the Kansas City plant, but as for peace in Kansas City, as one striker put it, "If they want blood, we'll give it to them next time." That was made clear at Lake Success today by the Jewish agency the. group that will take over as the Jewish national gov ernment. The agency's spokesman told the UN that partition is in full swing. It's too late now, he said, to reverse the decision on the destiny of the Holy Land. Warning Issued The warning was issued by the agency's Jerusalem representative a few hours after his arrival at Lake Success. Michael Comay re ported that the Jewish Haganah army has seized the initiative all over the embattled country and he added that to all practical pur poses the British rule has ended in Palestine. Comay scoffed at the, Ameri can plan for a UN trusteeship over the Holy Land. "To use sit ting in Jerusalem," he said. "It is simply fantastic to think that a UN governor-general could move in and expect to take oyer." State Endangered He admitted however that if Moslem nations sent their regular armies to ring the Holy Land, the future of a Jewish state would be endangered. Comay said such an invasion is the only act that could prevent the full collapse of the present Arab fighting forces. Meanwhile, a British news agency dispatch reports that the Jewish Haganah army has im posed martial law on the conquor- ed port of Haifa.

The two working to gether, will mean a better citi zenship and a more prosperous state and nation." Speaking at Oxford, Albright has repeated that his campaign is entirely independent.
