New Jewish State Seen
Adopting Neutrality

LONDON, Dec. II R.-A Jewish
Agency leader said today that plans
for Judea-a projected name for
Jewish Palestine-would provide for
Swiss-like neutrality in any possible
world war.
At the same time, another Jewish
spokesman pointed out that an "in-
definite period of conflict" with anti
partitionist Arabs was envisaged for
the new state, and to meet that
threat an army Of at least 10000
would have to be maintained. It
would mean an initial weekly ex-
penditure of 100000 he said.
DR.. Nahum Goldman, member
of the Jewish Agency Executive, as
serted in an interview that Jewish
legal experts, now working on a
draft constitution for thA Jewish
nation, have included a neutrality
clause aimed at "eternalizing FRIEND
illness for all, enmity towards none. :"
He explained that perpetual neu-
trality for the new country would
be justified on grounds that millions
of Jews would still remain scattered
throughout the world.
Declaring that the new Jewish
nation would seek to join the
United Nations as soon as possible,
DR.. Goldman added that it might
even seek to be heard at some future
peace conference on Germany.
He said between 100000 and 200,-
900 Jewish immigrants would be ad-
mitted into the new state by the
end of 1850, with those now held in
European displaced persons camps

two and thereupon awarded her a
limited decree.
Then comes the thing that al
ways distresses this court-what
must be done with the child of this
broken marriage" Judge Let's said.
Justice Let's raised his voice
slightly and related that he was
convinced that Mr.. Jillson's mother,
Mrs. Ann Jillson, with whom the
boy has been living during the
separation, was a person of most
estimable character" and was en-
tirely fit to, care for the child.
Wants Children Together.
But the problem, he said, was
whether or not the two children of
the marriage should be raised singly
or together, to be brother and sister
IN fact as well as in name.
The court feels they are entitled
to live together and be brought up
together. Since the wife in this
case Is the innocent party, she is
the person to whom custody must
be given"
Unbelieving for a minute, Mrs.
Jillson ran to the child as his father
led him from the courtroom and
gathered him into her arms. With
the boy still calling tearfully for his
father, she ran from the building
into waiting taxi.
Mr.. Jillson conferred with his at
torney and said he would appeal
the decision.

British Police Officer
Killed , but Palestine
Violence Tapers Off
BY me Assoeiofsd Press

JERUSALEM, Dec. II.
British police sergeant was killed
and another seriously wounded
during the night when they were
attacked in Jerusalem.
Violence, however, appeared to be
tapering off, and this morning was
the quietest since the United Ma
tons decision to partition Palestine
touched of the wave of disorders.
Police said two Jews, obvious
victims of foul play" were found
dead in the old city today, raising
the death toll in II days of Arab
Jewish strife to 262.
OF those slain in arguments over
partition, 131 were Jews, 100 were
Arabs, eight were Britons and three
were of other nationalities.
Curfew Breakers Fired On.
There were reports that Jewish
band had attacked the Arab resi-
Dental area Of Wadi Jose near
Herod's Gate in Jerusalem just be-
fore dawn, but police could not con-
firm these reports.
Police fired two shots at curfew
breakers in Jerusalem's commercial
center, but there was no other word
of serious violence.
The precarious position of the
Jews in Arab areas resulted, how
ever, in the closing of the Kallia
Hotel on the Dead Seattle Holy
Lands swankiest winter resort,
which is owned by Jews and stated
by both Arabs and Jews.
Police were unable to place the
blame on any one for the attack on
the two British sergeants last night.
One police report said that Jews
fired at the men, while another
blamed the attack on Arabs in q
stolen armored car.
In Cairo Hal Amin ell Husseini,
the exiled Mutt Of Jerusalem, in
dicated the Arab Leagues an

against Palestine partition may be
made public tonight. It had been
expected yesterday, but was post
poned while leaders of the seven
Arab League nations considered 1t
further.
Arab Legion Won't Withdraw.
Also in Cairo Samir al Rifai
Pasha, Premier OF Trans-Jordan,
announced Arab Legion troops will
not be Withdrawn from Palestine as
long as British troops remain In the
Holy Land. Jewish leaders have
demanded the withdrawal OF the
commanded legionnaires, a
of whom machine
gunned a truck convoy near Tel
Aviv Sunday, killing "A Jews.
The high commissioner Of Pales-
tine, Sir Alan G. Cunningham, re-
ceived the Jewish agency's political
chairman, Mrs. Coda Myerson, at
her request today, and heard a for
NAL plea for the withdrawal of the
Arab Legion troops. The two also
discussed other aspects of the Pales-
tine situation.
