BY the As.eeiotsd Pres,

An effort to restore to Amer
lean control some $4,000, ,O0O
worth Of UNRRA supplies re-
ported lying idle in Greece was
begun today by Senator Fergu-
son, Republican, of Michigan.
Senator Ferguson said he is con-
sidering inserting in any new Greek
aid measure provision requiring
the Athens government to turn over
for American distribution all re-
naming UNRRA supplies.
Administration officials have in
dicated they may have to ask more
money for Greece when the $780,
100000 voted by the last Congress
for aid to that country and Turkey
runs out.
Senator Ferguson said reports
brought back by Senate Appropria-
tious Committee colleagues who
visited Greece indicate that Dwight
Griswold, the program administra-
tor, has been unable to get the
Greeks to turn over to him the
supplies that UNRRA left there.
Senator Brooks, Republican, OF
Illinois, who said he saw hundreds
Of Diesel-powered water pumps rust
ing in the open, confirmed this. But
Senator Brooks said he is under the
impression that unless the Greeks
cooperate, Mr.. Griswold's agency
won't be able to distribute the sup
plies properly.
Confirming reports that the COM
mittee members had been denied ac-
cess to any casualty lists of the Greek
Army's brushes with Communist
led guerrillas, Senator Brooks said
he learned that the guerrillas are
almost exclusively armed with Amer
ican weapons.
Like other committee members,
Senator Brooks said he doubts that
much fighting is going on. But he

MosIems Map Fight
On Palestine Partition
When British Leave
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 10.-Dr
Fadhil Jamali, Foreign Minister ot
Iraq, said today that the fight oi
the Moslem world against parti-
tioning Of Palestine would begin in
full force as soon as the British
pull out of the Holy Land.
Commenting on the action of the
United Nations Security Council
in refusing Arab requests for full
debate on the issue now, DR.. Jamali
told an interviewer:
Regardless of what delegates say
now, the issue is bounk to come
up in the Security Council when
the general struggle begins.
plans are being made over there
now for the fight. 1t will begin in
full force when the British end
their mandate and begin pulling
troops out of Palestine"
Leaving for Iraq Tomorrow.
DR.. Jamali said he was leaving
for Iraq tomorrow, but would be
ready to return to the U. N. at any
moment if "the interests of the
Arab world" demand his presence
here.
He indicated the Arabs had no
immediate plans to renew their
efforts to force Council debate again
and said that "other delegates may
find 1t necessary in time to initiate
discussions.
DR.. Jamali was spectator at yes
terday's Council meeting-the first
since November 22-at which the
United States and Russia teamed up
to lead the successful drive against
the Syrian demand for free debate"
on Palestine at this stage.
Johnson Cautions Delegates.
American Delegate Herschel v.
johnson cautioned delegates that his
Government felt 1t would be lex
tremely unwise" to discuss Palestine
pow In view OF events in the Middle
East, where violence followed the
Assembly's November 20 decision to
split the Holy Land into independ-
ent Jewish and Arab nations by
next October /.
Faris el Khoury, white-haired
Syrian delegate, led the fight in the
Council to open debate, but the best
he could salvage from his efforts
was an agreement to give nonvoting
Council seats to Egypt and Lebanon,
two other members Of the Arab
League, when the discussions do
take place.
The Council action leaves the
Palestine issue dormant on its CAL
endar, along with a long list of other
subjects. The Council has no new
items and no time was set for the
next meeting.

depths of 10000 feet will be ex-
plored for the first time by man if
August Picard completes his
"Bathyscaphe" project for which
arrangements are nearly complete.
The 63-year-old scientist is the
man who rose to $4,000 feet in a
free balloon in 1892. Now he is
working with Max Cosyns on the
Bathyscaphe, a metal globe with
three and one-half-inch walls built
to withstand pressures of 5000
pounds per square inch will be en-
Countered.
He plans to sink it in the Gulf of
Guinea off the coast of Africa. The
first trip will be unnamed, with
devices actuated by pressure de-
signed to return it to the surface.
Then Picard and his fellow scien-
lists will make the trip.
The Acton globe is buoyed by a
heavy drum filled with light and
concrete weights held by oil. For
ballast" there are iron electro
magnets. If the speed of ascent is
too great, oil can be released from
the drum.
Chemicals will keep the air in
side the globe pure and there will
be two windows, one looking uI
and the other down. A dictaphone
will avoid waste of time in taking
notes. The dark sea depths will be
illuminated with powerful search
lights.
One of the windows is removable
and will be used for entrance anC
exit. A short wave radio will keel
the scientists in touch with theiI
ship, the Scaldis, a Belgian cargo
boat. There will be two motors tt
propel the globe over the ocean
floor. Power will come from bat.

The Picard expedition, sponsor.
