"oh think they'll behave like gentlemen" re- piled the Secretary of State
 NOTE-The only justice who didn't follow this handshaking tradition McReynolds, who sat in a corner and didn't shake hands unless the others came to him.
 Here is what's happening behind the scenes in Paris regarding the British American tug-of-War over Palestine. One week ago Sunday Jimmie Byrnes, after dining with Prime Minister Attlee, got Truman on the trans Atlantic telephone and urged him to accept the British proposal for parttioning Pales tine into Jewish and Arab zones. Truman, however, decided he couldn't accept and later informed his Secretary of State that the British foreign office had much better offer on Palestine that 1t was holding in and he intended to wait until the British put all their cards on the table.
 Last Wednesday Byrnes had another talk with Att lee when he apologized for the U S. failure to accept and the next day Jimmie telephoned Truman that he was washing his hands of the whole Palestine business. He indicated he had enough to do at the Peace Conference and would leave Palestine entirely up to the White House. Meanwhile Truman is sdering putting his close friend Ed Pauey in charge of Palestine negotiations. Pauley has already handed in blisering report the urgent need of action in Palestine with the result that the President has considered the idea of dropping am1abe Henry Grady his top Palestine adviser. However, Loy Henderson and other State Department officials much op- posed to firing Grady and there is considerable State Department disagreement about the whole thing
 If this columnist knows the LISA, one of the greatest mistakes are making is tendency toward Balkaniza tion-in other words, Itao-A Americans behaving if they Italians, Jewish Americans if they Paestinians, Polish Americans if they Poles-rather than if they Ameri- cans They to forget that they took oath to uphold Italy, Palestine Poland and that splitting of country into special groups be disastrous.
 Some of these alleged American citizens are threatening to vote next November according to whether Italy is given soft peace or according to whether Palestine is given to Jews.
 Personally, have long favored Jewish home land in Palestine and fair peace for democratic Italy but all things be carried too far. And Balkanized Americans who forget their citizenship by threatening to use the ballot club the head of a President who does not do what they should be forced to renounce their citizenship. I hope President Truman tells them to go jump in the lake
 NOTE-Naturalized Americans most of them ex- tremely proud of their citizenship received serious setback when Prof Oscar bange of the University of Chicago renounced his citizenship become the Po- fish ambassador in Washington To most new Amer jeans the tnplae glitter of foreign ambassadorship would weigh less than the pure gold of American citizenship.
