Joint Committee Hears
Plea for Arab-RuIed
State Of Palestine
BY the Associated Press

JERUSALEM. Mar. 12-Jamal
Efendi Husseini, chairman of the
Palestine Arab party, declared to-
day that the only solution to the
problem of Palestine was establish
ment of an independent sovereign
Arab state guaranteeing democratic
rights to all citizens.
Husseini testified for three hours
before the British American COM
mitttee investigating PaleS line. He
spoke for the Arab Higher Commit
tee, but told the investigators that
the Grand Mufti, who was fighting
the British during the war" was the
Arabs first leader, for whom they
could accept no substitute.
Grand Mufti Deported.
The Grand Mufti, Amin Effendi
AL Husseini. was arrested by the
French last year and has been re-
ported held in Paris. Jamal Eff
fendi Husseini himself returned to
Palestine only five weeks ago after
years in exile.
The witness declared that unless
some "just solution" could be found,
British troops and police should be
withdrawn to allow the Arabs and
the Jews to settle the matter by
themselves. He said he believed
that If this were done many Zionist
hotheads' would realize they had
lost all hope of attaining a Jewish
state and would leave Palestine "of
their own free will" He said the
remaining Arabs and Jews would
then settle down peacefully.
During questioning by committee
members, Husseini said the Grand
Mufti was chased into Germany by
the British"
Neutrality Was Aim.
What could he do but protect the
interests of his own people?" the
witness asked. He said "the Ger
mans were not our enemy" and that
the Arabs maintained a neutral
attitude because I'VE had no interest
in the war"
When committee member men
tined that the Multi had been 'in
Berlin, negotiating with the Ger
mans" Husseini replied: We've
done the same thing you've done in
treating with totalitarian Russia.
The Arabs have not worked for
victory of the Germans-they were
only seeking to get something out of
them"

On Atom Control
by the Assoeiufsd Press

Members of the Senate Atomic
Energy Committee met last night
with Gen. Eisenhower and Admiral
Nimitz to get their private and per-
sonap views on whether there shall
be civilian or military control Of the
super-power in peacetime.
The "off-the-record" meeting was
held at a private club. Afterward
Gen. Eisenhower said it was a "se-
cret" meeting and that he had been
lust a guest" Admiral Nimitz had
no comment nor did any of the COM
mittee with the exception of Chair
man Mcmahon.
Senator Mcmahon, who has
sought to insure a civilian "last
word" in important questions of
handling atomic energy under a
proposed control commission, said it
was a pleasant meeting" Beyond
that comment he would not 60.
Earlier, he disclosed that he had
proposed the formation of q presi-
dentiaIly-appointed board to advise
on the military aspects of control.
He told reporters he had made the
suggestion at a committee meeting
in the Capitol.
This proposal, which he said may
come to vote later in the week,
was regarded as a compromise be-
tween conflicting viewpoints over
whether final decisions IN atomic
energy shall rest in military or civil

Senator Mcmahon said he had
suggested that the military advisors

Spain Defends Independence,
Madrid Rodio Declares

LONDON, Mar. IL (P. The
Madrid radio, countering foreign at
tacks on the Franco regime, con-
tends Spain is defending the rights
of all other nations to their political
independence" by rejecting outside
pressure on her to oust Generalissi-
mo Francisco Franco.
. This is principle worth living
for and dying for, too, if need be-"
the radio said last night in broad
cast which likened the United
States, Britain and France to Ger
man Nazis and Russian Bolsheviks. /"
They have caught the infection
OF that absolutist and imperialist
mentality which is to be discovered
between the Rhine and the Pacific
Ocean," the radio said.
The governments of France
Great Britain and the United States
do not respect the freedom of Spain
nor her independence, her character,
her internal constitution.
Rather, like the German Nazis
and the Russian Bolsheviks, they
wish to create. that horrible world
in where there would be no hope
for distinction or diversity"
An attempted anti French demon
stration by Falangist University STU
dents in Madrid was broken up by
police last night after Franco
banned such manifestations.

House Approves Use
OF 100 Navy Ships in
Atomic Bomb Tests
By the Associated Pres.

The House today passed and sent
to the Senate bill authorizing the
Navy to use approximately 100 war
ships for the atomic bomb tests in
mid-Paciflc this spring.
The legislation was approved by
314 to Is roll call vote despite
objections of some members that it
should be held up until permanent
peace is assured.
The House then proceeded with
consideration of a measure author
izing the Government to sell, lease
or give to China another 271 sur
plus small vessels. They are in
tended to become the nucleus of a
new Chinese Navy.
The 100 vessels to be used as
guinea pigs" in the atomic bomb
tests include four battleships. Their
total book value has been estimated
at 100000, but most of them
now are classed as obsolete.
Several hours of debate yesterday
failed to produce a vote on the
atomic bomb test bill. Representa-
tives Thomson, Democrat, of Texas
and Jed johnson, Democrat, of Ok
lahoma opposed the measure on the
ground that its consideration should
be delayed until the peace of the
world is more secure.
While embodied in a separate bill,
the legislation to help China build
up a navy was expected to en-
counter the same opposition.
1t would authorize the President
to supply China with a part of her
immediate naval needs, including
the services of naval personnel and
technicians.
No capital vessels could be trans
ferred, however, without specific
congressional approval.
Neither of the bills has been con-
sidered -by the Senate,

New Note by France
Insists That UN0
Act 10 Gust Franco
BY the Asxociotsd Press

PARIS, Mar. 12.-The French
cabinet today approved a new note
to the United States and England
in support of its contention that
the Franco government of Spain
Is a threat to peace and should
be so considered by the United
Nations Security Council.
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault
delivered the note to American Am
bassador Jefferson Caffrey and
British Ambassador Alfred Duff
Cooper. Both America and Great
Britain turned down Frances orig
inal request to bring the matter
before the Security Council but left
the way open for reconsideration by
asking that France furnish more
details.
Russia has replied favorably to
Frances proposal.
The contents of the new French
note were not published, but in
formed circles said it emphasized
the tripartite declarations at Yalta
and Potsdam, promising to aid op-
pressed European peoples to obtain
a democratic regime.
In carrying the Spanish question
before the United Nations, France
would like to achieve a four power
economic blockade of Spain, and a
foryroo1 r,,nt,,ro af ra1o{;o,e h., 49,
United States and Great Britain.
Having taken the unilateral &C
ton of closing the Spanish border
against reported opposition of the
French Foreign Once, the French
government is also under pressure
to take further action, but in accord
with other Allies to make it effective.
The American note to France made
public by the State Department last
night left the way open for the
United States to join in complaint
against Franco before the Security
Council If the French can produce
evidence that his regime is an actual
threat to world peace.
The State Department note said
its present analysis of all the
facts does not lead it to believe a
peace-threatening situation exists
in Spain, although lit Is possible
that such situation may develop"
The note reiterated this Govern
ment's position that while ousting
Franco as SPANS dictator is highly
desirable" this is "a task for the
Spanish people themselves"
For any reconsideration OF the
possibility of supporting a move for
Security Council action, the note
said this Government would like to
know more precisely what action
the Security Council could take.
