Britain Reported
ReadytoGiveUp
Mandate May Is
Suggests Arab and
Jewish Stutes Come
Into Being June !
BY the Assoeioted Press

/ LONDON, Dec. 8.-Britain has
informed the United Nations she
intends to surrender her Pales-
tine mandate May Is, govern
ment sources reported today.
The British suggested that inde-
pendent Arab and Jewish states
come into existence June /, after a
two-Week transition period.
The same informants said the
British government had authorized
creation of Arab and Jewish civic
guard organizations to maintain law
and order in key Holy Land areas
prior to gradual concentration of
all British troops in evacuation
| "beachheads" around Haifa.
British troops are to be withdrawn
from the Jewish areas OF Tel Aviv
Petah Tqva and Ramat Gan this
month, it was said.
Trans-Jordan Talks Continue.
Meanwhile, this countrys diplo-
matte representatives are continu-
ing negotiations with Trans Jordan
to obtain units of the Arab Legion
Ito police strategically = important
parts OF Arab Palestine, Including
oil pipeline and installation areas.
Formations of the Arab Legion al
ready are in the Holy Land.
1t was emphasized that the British
plan for handing over power to
Arabs and Jews was subject to ap-
proval of the United Nations COM
mission of five nations. This COM
mission would set up the provisional
governments during the proposed
two-week transition.
Britain's final deadline for evacu-
alton of her troops will remain Au-
gust /, which was the limit origi-
Inally set for surrender of her man
date.
Responsibility Will End.
The informants gave this picture
|of the Palestine position next
May Is:
The 26-year-old British mandate
over Palestine will end.
British civil and military admins
tration, including police. will cease
to have any responsibility for the
maintenance of order.
Most of Britain's estimated 75, 900
troops will be concentrated in evac-
|uation beachheads around Haifa,
terminal of pipelines from the Iraq
fields and will, until they finally
quit the country by August /, be re-
sp0nsible only for their own security.
Between now and May Is Britain
probably will transfer to Palestine
lie, 900 uncertified Jewish immigrants
held in Cyprus, thus dispensing
with the present 1,500 monthly
Jewish immigration quota.
Evacuation to Go Ahead.
A Colonial Office spokesman de-
clared that the high commissioner
in Holy Land, Gen. Sir Alan Cum
Fninghan, mas been told to go ahead
with the evacuation of Telaviv,
Petah Tikvah and Ramat Gan,
three key Jewish-populated areas
this month.
Local Jewish authorities, empow-
cred to create an armed civic guard,
would assume responsibility for
maintaining peace there, once the
British withdrew, the spokesman
said.
Creation of Jewish guard did
not automatically imply British
recognition of Hagana, the Jewish
defense army, he added, but it was
more than likely the civic guard
would be based on the Hagana Or
ganiZation.
The spokesman said he understood
a complementary plan has been
worked out and would be applied
in certain Arab areas which he did
not specify.

No ParaIyzing Veto
In Hemisphere Treaty,
Asserts
Building on MUTUAL Trust.
He Says in Pleo for
Senute Ratification

Chairman Vandenberg of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee asserted today there is
mo paralyzing veto" in the inter-
American defense treaty, which
is before the Senate for ratifica-
tion.
Senator Vandenberg declared it is
up for consideration at "a significant
moment to demonstrate the solidar-
ity of this hemisphere" The treaty
provides for joint action against
aggression in the hemisphere.
The Senate president and Repub-
ican spokesman on foreign affairs
urged his colleagues to ratify the
treaty promptly. The agreement,
he sail. offers cheerful, encourag-
ling and happy news In q war-weaTy
world which is cropping. amid con-
slant and multiple alarms, toward
THE hopes by which men live"
In obvious reference to Russia's
exercise Of the big power veto in the
United Nations, Senator Vandenberg
noted that the treaty pledges the
American republics to act on two
thirds vote to invoke sanctions
against an aggressor.
True Partnership, He Says.
"There is no paralyzing veto upon
any of these peaceful sanctions" the
Michigan Senator said in prepared
address. Some recalcitrant, one
non-co-operator, cannot nullify the
loyalties of the others. 1t cannot
even stop the others from using
collective force.
1--WE are building upon mutual
trust. This is a true partnership
which represents the greatest ad-
vance ever made in the business
of collective peace. These two CO.
ordinated continents thus will offer
no hospitality to alien aggressors

Armed Forces Ban go
Civilians During Year
As Bad Security Risks
Uniformed Personnel Also
Sifted to Guard Against
Leaks to Foreign Powers
By the Associated Press

The military services have
barred as bad security risks
during the last year about 80
civilians from working on secret
projects let to private contrac-
tors.
These cases are in addition to pre-
viously reported instances of Fed
eral worker dismissals for dislo~alty
or reasons of doubtful loyalty. Since
1912, when Congress made pro-
vision for such action, about IS per-
sons have been fired from Army or
Air Force civilian jobs.
Both programs are designed to
guard leaks of military informa-
ton or other intelligence to for
eign powers either Intentionally or
carelessly. Military men explain
that a bad security risk" is not
necessarily disloyaT - he may be
given to talking too much or other
wise have habits likely to make
secret-keeping difficult.
See Classified Jobs Included.
Although no specific projects
were mentioned by authorities who
disclosed the banning of some con-
tract workers from jobs, the policy
is understood to embrace all "classi-
fed contracts"
+ Presumably contracts of this kind
would include construction work
for experimental or development
projects including such items as
atomic energy and weapons, rockets
new bases and the recently an
nounced plan to build an atomic
weapons proving ground at Eni-
wetok Atoll in the Pacific.
In addition to applying security
checks to civilians in both regulal
Government and contract jobs, the
military services also are screening
their own uniformed personnel t<
sift out the unwanted.
The Army Department has said q
shortage OF investigators has "ser.
ious1y hampered" such investigat.
ions, but the number OF officers OF
enlisted men dropped from ths
Army has not been disclosed Of
ficially.
Divided Loyalty Not Tolerated.

with the Communist Party is mimi

missed from service II found to be

By ]. A. O'Leory

Supporters of the $500, ,000, 900
stopgap foreign laid bill were
trying to reach agreement with
advocates of a price ceiling
amendment for commodities
bought outside the United States
as the House began voting on
changes in the measure.
In the hope Of saving the bill from
drastic alterations on the floor, the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
went over some of the amendments
of individual members in a closed
session this morning.
The price ceiling amendment pro-
vides, in effect, that Is per cent Of
the supplies may be bought abroad,
provided the price is not more than
10 per cent above the domestic price.
When the House met at noon.
the committee members still were
negotiating with Representative
Mundt, Republican, of South Da-
kota, on his plan to place a ceiling
also on what the Government pays
for grain and other commodities
in the United States for foreign aid.
Hall Wants to Send Agents.
The first amendment actually
offered in the House was by Rep
resentative Hall, Republican, of New
York, to send from 100 to 500 county
agricultural agents to Europe to help
tho rooiyoioy,t oo,,,,trio iyaoroo co fhci,s
own food supply. -...-
A strong drive also will be made
in the House to slash the total still
lower, but this may not be reached
until late today or tomorrow.
Before the House debate began
Chairman Allen of the Rules Com
mittee said there would be no moro
than rs votes against the bill. The
House has 434 members and /
vacancy.
Mr.. Allen himself Is against the
measure. But he said the vote
1against it might be no more than
so. And he has a reputation among
his colleagues for unusual accuracy
in predicting votes.
Democrats Take Like View.
Fifty opposition votes Is the top
figure many Democrats are men
tioning. Representative Bloom OF
New York, senior Democrat on ths
Foreign Affairs Committee, pre-
dicted half that number. Represen.
tative Jarman, Democrat. of Ala

tary total.
Mr.. Jarman said he and Repre-
sentative Morrow, Republican, OF
New Hampshire were mapping
strategy to keep the 100000, 900 for
China and boost the total for the
three European nations to the full
S597 ,0Oo, 600 asked by the adnlinis-
tration and approved by the Senate.
Neither the administration nor the
Senate proposed any immediate as
sistance for the Chinese.
Representative Jonkman, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, was standing by
with an amendment to put $780,.
0O0,0 900 limit on stopgap aid for
Europe and Asia combined.
Bat. Mr.. Allen and some others
who keep an ear to the ground fig-
ure that any cut likely would stop
around the $3.50 ,0O0,0 900.
Conference Likely.
The measure must be returned to
the Senate after House passage and
probably sent to conference to ad-
just differences in the two bills.
Also both House and Senate still
must pass appropriation measures
making the actual money available
to carry out the assistance program.
Even before such a bill reaches
the House floor, however, Congress
