he was pleased W1Lu CIlc TSpolC, CS- pecially with the recommendation for admitting 100000 Jews.
 That recommendation, he noted, was an endorsemeSt of his request to Britain last year Britain reject ed the request. The committee sub- seuuently was established to work out compromise.
 In Jerusalem. Janal Husseini, chairman of the Palestine Arab Party, openly predicted "bloodshed and misery throughout the Holy Land" In London, a spokesman for the Jewish agency for Pal estine said the report failed to realize "the core of the problem. " He complained that admission Of 100 900 Jews to Palestine would not solve ''even the problem of victims of Naz persecution in Europe, let alone meet the immigration of Jews from other lands"
 CeIler Disappointed
 Representative Emanuel Celler, D-N, Y), who often reflects the Zionist attitude, said the commit tees report was a most ddSmaylng document mrealiStic, biased, with a shocking disregard of facts"
 Chairman Sol Bloom, O.-N. Y), of the House Foreign Affairs Com mittee, however, felt that the re- port paves the way for a program which will settle the Palestine question for all time" Senator James M. Mead, O.-N.Y0, while pleased with the 100000 figure, feared that Palestine may remain British possession for prolonged time." Senator Edwin c. Johnson, (D.-Colo), said the recommended tions were only "a temporary ex- pedient", and should not be accept ed as a permanent solution to the problem.
 Senator Robert P. Wagner, O. IN. Y.), said he was previously disappointed" at the report. Expect Opposition As if foreseeing Arab-Jewish op7 position to some of its proposals, 1 the committee said that if it's re- port Is aUOpLeU.
 Ut should be made clear beyond all doubt to Jews and Arabs that any attempt from either side, by threats of violence, by terrorism, or by the organization or use of illegal armies to prevent it's execu- ton, will be resolutely suppressed" 1"
 The committee partly side-step- ped the vexing question of what to do with some l, 1,OOO, 900 European Jews seeking admission to Palestine, but did suggest that all the United Ma tions drop their immigration bars temporarily for Europe's homeless millions.
 The committee envisaged eStab- 1 lishment in Palestine of an inter nationally y-controlled state in which neither Arab nor Jew would dom1n- ate and in which the centuries-old hostility between the two factions would be dissipated through higher economic and educational stand ards.
 Little Appears Settled
 Until such hostility disappears, the committee recommended, the government of Palestine should be continued as at present under 8 British mandate pending execution of a trusteeship agreement under the United Nations.
 The net effect of the report was viewed as throwing the whole con- troversy back into the lap of the British government and, eventually to the United Nations.
 The committees recommenda- tions:
 1. Since Palestine alone cannot meet emigration needs of the Jewish victims of Nazi and Fascist persecu- ton, Britain, the United States and other governments should try inn mediately to find new homes for all such displaced persons regardless of creed or nationality.
 2. Certificates should be author ized immediately for admission of 100000 Jews into Notwithstanding 1946 if possible.
 3. Neither Jew nor Arab should dominate the other in Palestine, and the government ultimately estab- lished there should protect the in- terests of Christians, Moslen1s and Jews.
 4. Unless Jewish-Arab hostility disappears, the Palestine govern ment should continue as at present under British mandate pending a trusteeship under the United Ma tions.
 5. The holder of the Palestine mandate or trusteeship should pro- claim the principle that Arab econ omic, educational and political ad- vancement in Palestine be equal to that of the Jews. Measures should be prepared at once to raise Arab living standards to those of the Jews.
