Non-PaIestine Arabs
Bar Partition Plan
ey the A,soe;o,ed p,...


LONDON. Sept. IL. - A British
source said several Arab League
delegates at the Palestine confer
ence emphatically rejected today the
British-American experts plan for
liberalization of the Holy Land.
At least two Arab speakers OBJ
jected that the plan meant that in
dependence for their brethren in
the Holy Land" would be- delayed
indefinitely.
As Foreign Secretary Bevin sat
chain-smoking and tapping the big
round table with his pencil, one
Arab representative cried that Pal
estine's independence should be
granted now.
Other Arab speakers, the source
stated, asserted federaliza ton would
be unavoidable economically, empha-
sizing that there were no guarantees
that any measure of self -sufiiciency
could be obtained in any of the
zones.
The attitude had been discounted
earlier by Prime Minister Attlee, who
in opening the conference said Brit
ain regarded consideration of the
plan only as Item No. /" on the
conference agenda.
Qualified informants hinted that
Jewish representatives were extend
ing "feelers' to Britain concerning
fr-ther negotiation of the Palestine
problem. These sources said the
Jewish Agency was expected to sug-
gest the resumption of conversations
interrupted eight days ago.

The story Of how dog may have
saved the life of Leslie l.. Biffle, Sec
retary Of the Senate, while he was
in France recently on an official in
spection of military cemeteries for
the American Battle Monuments
Commission came to light here to-
day.
The dog was running across field
near Cherbourg a short distance
ahead of the inspection party. when
the animal suddenly was blown into
the air and killed. The dog had de-
tonated a hidden land mine, which
was in the path of the visiting party.
Mr.. Biff1e returned to Washington
today after inspecting burial grounds
in England, the Netherlands, Bel
gium, Luxembourg, France. Italy
and Sicily. One of the functions of
the Battle Monuments Commission

DR.. Steelman held a round of con-
ferences with Government agencies
this morning. First to meet with
him were members of the Wage

The WSB is sending to the White
House complete transcript of the
case, which is now out of the boards

In emphasizing that only the two
courses Of action were open to Dr.
Steelman. Mr.. Ross pointed out that
one Federal agency-the Maritime

Board, disapproved. In his role as
reconverSion director, Dr. Steelman
is empowered to settle inter-agency
controversies.

But since the King acts only on
the advice of his ministers, the
squatters already had the answer to
their proposed petition. For the
government denounced the whole
squatter technique yesterday as an
unlawful incitement to anarchy and
threatened prosecution of the squat
