ed to death and four young Jewish

deputy members of Mr.. Truman's
special cabinet committee on
Palestine returned from London
recently with a proposal for al

It was believed that Mr.. Tru-

with the program he placed into
effect last December.
Under this proposal, no more
than 5000 displaced persons may
be admitted each month. In addi-
ton, some organization or person
must guarantee that they will not
become wards of the state.
State department officials said
the plan was working at far be-
