Britain Is Expected
ToApproyeU. n. Unit
For Palestine Probe
By the Asseeia,sd Press

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y, Mar. A.
Authoritative sources said today
that Great Britain probably would
be agreeable TO the creation OF a
United Nations special fact find
ing" commission to handle the Pal
estine case. +.
This method of approaching one
of the worlds most complicated
situations was understood to be
under serious consideration by q. N.
Secretary General Trygve Lie as
perhaps the best means Of getting
immediate action on the Holy Land
dispute.
Authoritative sources said Mr.. Lie
discussed the "fact-finding" COM
mission idea with British q. N. Dele
gate Sir Alexander Cadogan last
week. Sir Alexander was said to
have told Mr.. Lie that Britain was
not rnsympathetic to the idea, since
the London government desires
speed on the question.
The possibility Of creating such a
commission was given new hope
after Mr.. Lie and his legal adviser,
A. H. Feller. general counsellor Of
the q. ~, conferred yesterday with
the heads Of various delegations.
Both Mr.. Lie and Mr.. Feller were
noncommittal on the purpose of
their visit to delegation headquar-
ters at the Empire State Building in
New York, but informed sources
said Palestine certainly was on the
list Of discussions.
Sir Alexander was understood to
have reported to the London gov
ernment on his talk with MIR. Lie,
and some sources believed the Brit
ish cabinet was studying the sug-
gestion of establishing U. N. spe-
cial "fact-finding" commission.
Previous suggestions that a special
session Of the assembly should be
called to deal with the Holy Land
issue brought estimates from u. N.
officials that 1t would cost $1,000,-
600. These sources said the pres
ent budget would not be able to
stand this additional expense.
Meanwhile, a three-member sub
commission of the Security Council
prepared to further question British
and Albanian representatives In an
effort to clarity Britain's charges

Shafer Charges Soviet
Plans 10 Make Korea
Another Puppet State
By The A,.seios.d Pres,

Russians plan to make Korea "an-
other Communist puppet state.
I'VE all know how Poland was sold
down the river In q power politics
deal that benefited no country ex-
cept Soviet Russia" Mr.. Shafer as
serted in speech prepared for de-
livery in the House. Exactly the
same thing is now happening on the
other side Of the world--in Korea" !"
In their occupation zone, Mr..
Shafer said, the Russians have
''clamped on totalitarian dictator
Ship"
They have set up puppet Com
munist administration which they
claim allows self-government to the
Koreans in their zone," he contin-
ued, "and they are using three
methods to make Communists of as
many as they can Of the 10000 900
Koreans who are captive north Of
the 33th parallel.
These three methods are force,
bribery and exile"
Mr.. Ehafer added:
we agreed with them at Moscow
IN December, 1915, that Korea should
be reunited and q Korean provisional
government set up over the whole
country. But this decision has never
been put into effect.
When the Russian American
joint commission met last spring
to try to put it into effect, the Rus
slams blocked any action by insist
ing that only Communists should be
consulted or permitted to have any
part in the provisional government.
Unless we are willing to sell
Korea down the river Just as Po-
land was sold, we had better take
some positive action now. The time
has come for US to tell Russia that
the promises she has made must
be kept"
