U. N. Political Committee

'Loods Dice Heovily'
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, May IL.
The Jewish Agency for Pales-
tine clashed with Russia, Poland
and the Arab countries today
and bright the wartime record
OF the exiled Grand Mufti of
Jerusalem into the United Ma
tions debate on the Holy Land.
The Agency told the General As
sembly's 55-nation Political Com
mittee that a Soviet proposal for
study OF immediate Palestine inde-
pendence loads the dice heavily
against the Jews.
Moshe Shertok spoke for the
Agency after Faris Ell Khoury of
Syria, keynoting new Arab move,
declared his country would be bound
by no U. N. solution for the Holy
Land except creation of an inde-
pendent Palestine state.
Lashes Back at Poland.
Mr.. Shertok departed from his
prepared text to strike back at a
Polish statement to the committee
on the care of 10000 displaced Jews
repatriated to Poland from. Russia.
He told the committee that those
Jews received nothing from the
Polish government but paid their
own way.
Lester B. Pearson of Canada,
committee chairman, intervened re-
peatedly to speed the session toward
a vote on instructions for the pro-
posed U. N. Palestine Inquiry Com
mission. He said the committee
would vote on the instructions to-
day if it had to stay in session until
midnight
Delivery of Mr.. Shertok's state
ment was delayed by Mr.. Ell Khou-
rvs speech.
Want to Cooperate.
Mr.. Shertok told the Political
Committee that the Jews wanted
to cooperate with the Arabs in
the Holy Land, but contended that
the head of the Arab Higher Com
mite of Palestine-the mutt now
in Cairo-"was directly involved
during the war in the Nazi policy
of determination of European Jews" :"
The Arab Higher Committee was
scheduled to make its second ap-
pearance as a committee witness
this afternoon.
Mr. El Khoury delivered vigor-
ouS attack against Jewish demands
for increased immigration into the
Holy Land, declaring "the Arabs will
never allow wedge to be driven
into their fatherland"
ANY solution other than the set
ting up of an independent state
shall not be accepted by the Syrian
government and people" Mr.. El
Khoury asserted.
Main Jewish Points.
Answering questions submitted
by committee members last week,
the Jewish Agency representative
made these main points:
/. The present political crisis in
Palestine lis nothing but a clash
between the dire needs of Jewish
immigration and the current anti

2. A solution of the problem of
Palestine which would ignore the
Jewish claim and need for immigra-
ton would solve nothing"

the commission was not brought out
Immediately in testimony. After he
said he had told Murray Carson
he could not lend him $25 5000, the
jury was excused by Justice Henry
A. Schweinhaut and attorneys fol
both sides were called to the bench

defense objection that the question
concerning Murray Garsson's re-
quest for a loan was ''immaterial

disregard Mr.. Schwams testimony
that he had been asked for such a
loan and had refused it.
Under cross oSs-examination, Mr.
Schwam disclosed that he received
