Palestine immigration
Reported Stopped
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
JERUSALEM, Dec. 27.-A spokes-
man for the Jewish agency last
night said the Palestine government
had confirmed officially that Jewish
into Palestine had been
stopped.
The spokesman asserted that "the
world had been misled" by the state
ment of British Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin on November Is in
which he said immigration would
continue at the rate of $500 month
pending the report of the British
American commission of inquiry.
Even the rather dismal promise
.of Bevin's statement has been
broken" the spokesman said.
The spokesman said immigration
was stopped apparently because
the Arabs said No"
IF that is the case, what rs the
use of an inquiry commission" the
spokesman asked, adding, IF the
British dare not to lift a finger
without Arab consent, then it~dooms
the work of 1.-THE commission to conn
plete futility."
Earlier, leaflets distributed here
asserted that several hundred Jew
ish refugees from Europe landed on
the Northern Palestine coast yes
terday, despite British precautions,
and were guided to inland dispersal
points by Haganah, Jewish defense
organization.

To Fioht to Keen Lands

ISTANBUL, Dec. Is Delayed (Pl
The semiofhcial news agency Ana
tolia said today that "for one inch
of Turkish territory, all Turkey is
ready to throw itself into the fire, u
and branded as crazy" recent Geor-
gian demands, prominently display
ed in the Soviet press, that Russia
annex a strategic 180-mile stretch
of the Black Sea coast.
Anatolia's declaration reflects 10
cal sentiment growing out of an
opinion expressed recently by Istan-
bulls conservative newspaper, Tas-
viz, which said Turkey will answer
no to all territorial demands and,
if she Is told that there will be war,
she will answer "All right, we will
fight"
Earlier this week Turkish Gen
KAHN Karabekir told the Turkish
national assembly that unless rela-
tions between Turkey and Russia
were friendly. great wounds" could
follow.
Russo Turkish relations have
been deteriorating gradually since
the Soviet Foreign Office announced
last March that the Soviet Union
was denouncing 20-year-old treaty
of friendship and nonaggressior
and suggested that a new basis mus
be found on which to renew thu
pact.

With that he picked up his hat and

President Truman
Named Man of Year
By Time Magazine
BY the Associated Press.

GS Inc AshOClhteQ FreSS.
NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Presi-
dent Truman has been picked
by Time Magazine as its Man
of the Year" for 1945.
In selecting the President,
Time said in its December 81
issue, released today, that 1.-THE
greatest of all 1945's great
events was the atom bomb"
The President, the magazine
said. somewhat unwittingly,
somewhat against his own will,
became more than any other
man responsible for the bomb,
its use in 1945 and its future"
Except for the bomb, the
greatest events of 1945 would
have been the surrender of Ger
many and Japan, and the great
est men of the year would have
been Allied military men, the
magazine said.

France, China Asked to Join
In Resolution on Atom

LONDON, Dec. 27 (P,.-A reliable
source said today that France and
China have been asked to associate
themselves with the atomic energy
resolution which Russia will join
with the United States, Britain and
Canada in preparing.
During the Moscow discussions
Secretary of State Byrnes was IN
derstood to have suggested that the
United Nations Security Council
comprise the proposed Atomic Con-
troll Commission.
The ministers were said to have
agreed that the atomic control re-
ports should go to the United
Nations Security Council and not
to the peace agency's General
Assembly. This was the expressed
wish of Russia.
Diplomatic quarters said they con-
sieered the reported agreement on
Korea significant.
According to information here,
the Big Three agreed to establish
a Big Four trUsteeship council COM
posed of the United States, Russia,
Britain and China. The report that
the trusteeShip would be held for
five years led to the assumption
that, at the end of that period,
the Koreans would be given
independence.
1t was understood that the Big
Three Foreign Ministers further
agreed that the American military
command in Southern Korea and
the Russian command in Northern
Korea would confer and coordinate
the administration of the country,
WreSted from Japan.
London sources said also that
Turkey and the claims projected by
intellectuals in Soviet Georgia for
Turkish territories on the Black Sea
and elsewhere were discussed by the
Big Three, but that no agreement
was reached.
These informants said the Iranian
problem played a lesser role" in
the discussions than had been ex-
pected. Iran has accused Russia
of interfering with efforts to sup
press rebellion in the Northern
1ranian province of Azerbaijan, cur
rently occupied by the Red Army.
British Foreign Ministry experts
were understood to be busy deci-
phering the Moscow communicate

morning for issuance later.
