Robert Taylor Short
In Political Morality
Izvestia Writer Says
BY shs Assoeiossd Press


MOSCOW. May 26.-Robert Tay-
1nf, American film star, was taken
'tostask In Izyestia yesterday because,
writer In the government paper
said, he had revealed a lack of
political morality" in his recent
testimony to a congressional COM
mittee investigating Communism In
Hollywood.
The attack was written by A. M.
Gerasimov, a Stain movie prize
winner in 1943, who said that Mr..
Taylor by his own testimony had
played the lead in the movie Song
Of Russia" during the war against
his own wishes and under the duress
of American officials
Quite obviously the same old
round American dollar Is the reason
for everything" Gerasimov declared
in letter to the editor of Izvestia
Conscience, honor and even the
very elementary representation of
decency are tied up conveniently
with the dollar for which Taylor,
according to his own statements,
sold his American conviction
Sympathy Once Was Fashion.
On California recently Mr..
Taylor told a closed session of
the House Committee on Un-
american Activities, Chairman j.
~ Thomas Parnell reported, that he
was virtually forced to play in
the Song of Russia" which Mr..
Taylor considered Russian propa-
ganda. Mr.. Taylor was quoted as
saying his entry into the Navy
was delayed until he had COM
pleted the role)
There was a time" said Gerasi-
NOV, when 1t was stylish to be-
come enthusiastic in ones SYM
pathies toward the Soviet Union.
Hollywood made quite bit of money
out of it and so did Robert Taylor
But different times are upon us
and under the influence of certain
laws it has become stylish to reject
or deny such sympathies. In fact
1t has become stylish to expose.
One should not think that Robert
Taylor is not making capital of this,
too.
"Oh, well, every one understands
the basis of human morality and
human frailty."
He Liked the Show.
Gerasimov said that Song Of
Russia" despite considerable ma
ivete, made generally good impress
sion on him because it was per-
meated with a sympathetic attitude
toward the U. S. S. r.
In Hollywood, Mr.. Taylor told
newsment that he did not want to
discuss Gerasimov's statements.
Louis B. Mayer, whose MGM studio
produced ;"Song of Russia" also
refused to comment.

1l-Nation u. n. Group
Opens Session Today
|0n Palestine Problem
BY III. As.oe;a,.d rr.ss

LAKE SUCCESS. May 26.-A spe-
cial United Nations commission on
Palestine, given three months to
solve the Holy Land problem, opens
sessions today with prospects of an
early test over Jewish immigration
As the 11-nation group was called
q Polish source reported that the
two Slav states on the commission
would press for q decision to widen
the investigation to include Europe's
displaced person camps, where thou
sands of Jews are waiting to get
into Palestine.
This source said that Czechoslo-
vakia, backed by Yugoslavia, would
demand that the commission take
advantage of its virtually unlimited
instructions from the General AS
sembly's recent special session to
visit these camps.
Possibility of such move prompt
ed another Arab reiteration that
there was no connection between the
problems of Palestine and displaced
persons. The jews, however, hold
that the Holy Land must be opened
up to these refugees as a first step
toward any solution of the whole
problem.
Arabs Would Sever Relations.
II am afraid that the Arabs
would not have relations with the
commission should such a step be
taken" Faris el Khoury, Syrian
delegate to the Security Council
said.
None of the five Arab states in the
U. N. is represented on the COM
mission. However. El Khoury said
he would be here ION other busi-
ness" and would keep in touch with
developments.
All Arab states have reserved their
positions on cooperation with the
inquiry body and a final decision
was expected at a meeting of the
Arab League in Cairo early In June
Commission action on inclusion OF
exclusion of the D. P. camps from
their itinerary will be a major fac
Tor in the Arab verdict.
Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia
Egypt and Iraq are U. N. members
and these nations, along with Ye-
men and Trans-Jordan, make up
the Arab League.
This commission, the 10th in his
tory to tackle the Palestine problem
will remain here about 10 days draft
ing it's program. 1t then will travel
to Palestine and any other places
decided upon, hear representatives
of Jewish and perhaps Arab ano
Christian groups, and have final
report ready on Sept. /.
Report Basis for U. N. Debate.
The report will form the basis fol
debate at the September session OF
the General Assembly.
While delegates on the commits
sion-representing Chechoslovakia
Yugoslavia, Canada. Australia, Peru
Uruguay, Guatemala. Sweden, Iran
India and the Netherlands-were
reluctant to comment before begin
ming deliberations, United Nations
experts predicted that the group
finally would recommend either a
partition of the Holy Land between
the Jews and Arabs or an Arab
Jewish state under international
trusteeship.
The Arabs oppose anything less
than outright independent Arab
nation, contending that Palestine
always has been and always must
be an Arab country.
The Jews are pumping first fol
Jewish state, but probably would
accept a dual nation If they were
sure the immigration bars would be
let down to allow them to erase the
Arabs present two to one edge in
population. The Zionists have not
zone beyond accepting partition as
basis for discussion.
